had opportunities along those lines
and could not be expected to be able
10 grasp the suggestions made in
a technical speech.
The orator who port the
beauty, grandeur and richness OF
our country may thrill us with feel
ing of pride in OUT country, but will
not do much to unravel a problem
that we want help to unravel. Talks
10 Farmers" are intended to be help
full to individual farmers in solving
the problems confronting them.
The writer of this is a farmer, and
has been all his life; has had to con-
tend with all the problems that have
been discussed. We think that the
question of the soil, its improvement
and cultivation, lies at the very
foundation of successful agriculture.
We think there is more importance
in emp ASKING the simple practical
things that farmers can do to make
their soil more productive
We know from our acquaintance
wA-N rheeoil Of St9+,e that in many
places all is not being done that can
be done to improve the soil. For
that reason we have been urging, and
exrect to continue to urge, our far
raers to give their soil a fair chance
to produce the crops they need and
tbeir soils will grow with the
treatment they can give them, and
we are not going to suggest anything
that the man with ordinary intelli'
renee and plenty of energy cannot
do.
While we have given special at
tention to the soil we have tried to
discuss other matters pertaining TO
the successful farming that would
be helpful along all lines, and have
tried to discuss questions at season
able times. We want to get the
backward and indifferent farmer to
realize that his backwardness is
oNe-tiug him out Of so many of the
comforts and conveniences of life
that he might just as well be getting
the benefit Of
We know something about the
blocks that are in his way,
end we want to help him remove
them.
Now brother farmer, preparing
talks to Farmers is a self imposed
task on our part. The compensation
we get for preparing them, or the
of the state get for print
ing them is the hope that they will
be helpful to you. We already have
assurances from hundreds of farm
ers all over the State telling US OF
the value the letters have been to
thin, The grateful letters encourage
us to continue our efforts to assist
the farmers of the state by continu-
ing Talks to Farmers" along the
same practical lines as we have tried
to make them in the past.

PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR.

We are now getting well into the
winter when the bad weather will
keep us indoors more than during the
other seasons of the year We will
have time to plan for the coming
years work and look back over the
past year and recognize our mistakes
and plan to avoid them next time
We can even let our minds run still
f'Irther back; even to our boyhood
days, and see if we are doing as well
in every way as our fathers did. In
some respects many of us are not.

Aldine Editions.

The introduction Of the sloping Ro-
man letters which are known to every
body as italics was made by Aldus
Manutius Of Venice In the latter part
of the fifteenth century. He was the
most famous printer OF Italy and per.
haps Of the world. The books he
printed. known as Aldine editions. are
much sought after by collectors. His
first volume in the new type was
vergil published in 1901 at the price Of
about 2 shillings Of our money. AL
dus. In fact. was the pioneer Of cheap
literature.
The Aldine mark is dolphin twined
about an anchor with the name
"Aldys." II any reader. says Mr. J. A.
Hill In the Imprint. finds a CARLOAD
OF old books with this mark in his
attic or lumber room. he is duly adj
vised not to use them for lighting the
fire. They would probably buy him a
good annuity for the soIace Of his de-
clining years.

something besides the bunghole in a
barrel" Aye, there's the trouble in
Texas today. We are letting this
bunghole business become the para
mount issue, and because Of II we are
letting the other interests of the state
suffer. We have had governor for
four years whose chief business was
to keep the bungholes open, and should
pro be elected who has nothing to
recommend him, except his pro record.
he will spend his time trying to close
the bungholes up, and there you are.
1t is great pity that the prohibition
issue overshadows every other issue
and interest in Texas. Still 1t is a
fact. So jealous are the two factions.
that no matter what comes up, the
prohibition question is injected, and
the interests of Texas and the inter
ests of the people are lost sight of and
sidetracked completely. 1t will be a
blessed day when the question of the
"bunghole' will be settled in Texas
