The plan Is this Il give II to you now
so you can think over II and be ready
to discuss II Saturday,; Let us divide
the county into four or five districts.
Sometime In the early part of the year
let each district have contests between
the schools OF that particular district.
Then, later, let the winners from each
district meet at some central polIb,
likely at Bryan, and contest for
county banner, and perhaps for prizes.
This plan can be worked out so as
to make II possible for almost every
school in the county to contest in
some Of the different feats. We hope
to provide for basketball. baseball.
jumping, racing, debating, declama-
tlon. spelling. etc.
Come Saturday prepared TO discuss
this plan and to offer any suggestion
you think practical.
Yours very truly,

THE PARCELS POST.

An effective and>Serviceable parcels
post is no longer merely a favorite
subject for magazine discussion and
high school debates; II is now a Ma
tional institution and a practical, ac'
oomplished fact.
No exact data have yet been com
piled relating to the workings of the
parcels post in Texas, but from esti-
mates compiled by the postal authori'
ties at Washington, based on the bust
ness handled at representative offices
in this State, It Is evident that during
the fiscal year 1913 approximately TO-
100000 packages were mailed In
Texas, on which the postage amounts
to nearly a million dollars.
The parcels post has served to bring
the rural producer and urban con-
sumner closer together and has greatly
helped to solve the high living cost
problem in Texas. It is performing
the functions of the middleman with
out his exorbitant profits.

FARMERS RAISE OWN
FLOUR AND DON'T KNOW IT

San Antonio. Tex, Oct. 2i.-After
experimenting with feterita for some
time as a stock food, It has now been
discovered that this product, ground
up, is one OF the best bread flours
made, and makes excellent light bread
or biscuits. II can be used with equal.
ly as much success In making various
kinds OF pastries as wheat -four, ac-
cordlng to w. G. Hand, farm demon
strator in Bexar County, the discov-
erer OF the new flour grain"
This product was first introduced
into Texas about three years ago and
several acres were planted to the crop
in this county. primarily for expert
mental purposes as a stock food. Its
value as such was amply proven after
its first year by a number of local
cattlemen who .fattened their stock
on IT,
Its nutritious qualities are equal to
those OF ordinary flour and exceeds
those Of Graham -four. according to
an analysis recently conducted here.
The feterita stalks grow six feet
high and the yield per acre is seventy
five bushels.
The grain thrives on arid land and
is especially adapted to the Texas eli
mate.
With this new discovery before
them, It is thought Texas farmers will
devote a larger acreage to this crop
in 1915.
