Clipping
From Live Oak County, Texas Paper Pertaining to
County Fair Exhibit from the Farm of the u
S. Realty Company, July, 1914

L. S. Elwell, the representative of
the U. S. Installment Realty Co., Of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, owners of the
FAINT Ranch exhibited very interest
ing and varied assortment of farm
produce and was warmly congratu-
lated by his many friends for having
been awarded the Grand Prize for the
largest number of different articles
produced on the farm.
Mr.. Elwell assembled together sew
enty-six separate and distinct foods
and feed stuffs, destined for both -hu-
man and live stock consumption, with
the special object Of proving to the
world at large that Live Oak county
has the power and ability of produc-
ing everything that is necessary for
the sustenance of both man sne beast
and in sufficient quantities to attract
the attention of those who are now
looking for locality in which to car
ny on successful farming. =. sap4
Many of the visitors, who were not
already acquainted with the lavish
way in whic Mother Earth yields. up
her bounty in this county, expressed
their surprise at the. woneerfM
growth Of. the specimens shown. by
Mr.. Elwell of all the staples, includ-
ing cotton, corn, milo maize, kaffir
corn, feterita, Egyptian wheat, millet,
alfalfa, sweet clover, and last but not
least, the new crop, Sudan ) grass,
which promises to become the chief
hay crop of the South.
The enormous beets and mangel-
wurtzels grown on the demonstration
farm by Mr.. Elwell created much in
terest and comment, and several peo-
pie humorously inquired as to what
kind of stump puller he used for
getting them out of the ground. The
rich black soil is especially adopted
to their growth, and specimens weigh
ing twenty-three and one-half pounds
were shown, of wurtzels, while ordin-
airy table beets averaged. from ten to
twelve pounds. The five acres devoted

acre, which at valuation of ten dol
lars a ton, would bring one hundred
dollars an acre, but they have been
utilized as hog-feed instead of being
sold as a cash crop, when greatly
enhances their value, and their pro-
fitableness to the grower.
The alfalfa, grown like everything
else on the demonstration farm by
rainfall only, produced at the rate of
one ton and quarter at the first cut
ting, which at valuation of twenty
two dollars per ton would bring twen-
ty-seven and half dollars, and there
is every expectation of three cuttings
more. This must surely look good to
those farmers who have been used to
being satisfied with twenty dollar
corn crop on one hundred and fifty
and two hundred dollar land.
The corn was Of excellent quality,
and the harvest is now taking place,
the yield being around sixty bushels
per acre.
The milo-maize, feterita, Eygeptian
wheat, millet and other feed-stuffs eA-
hibited by Mr.. Elwell, although gooa
specimens in themselves, give but lit
tie, idea of the prolific growth and full
stand in the fields, and visit to the
farm itself is needed in order to see
the result Of the marvellous fertility of
the soil. -:
An interesting exhibit was an OBJ
servatory hive Of bees taken from one
of Mr.. Elwell's aparies, and the little
fellows could be seen busily working
on the comb, and on the shelf nearby
stood large glass jar full Of the
prettiest comb honey. IT,
Mrs. Elwell added much to the val
ue of the total exhibit, by showing
how many different jeliies, preserves,
wines and vinegar can be made from
the fruits, etc., on the farm and on
the prairie. The sugar-cured bacon,
and the butter, milk, lard, eggs, etc,
helped to demonstrate the food supply
on the farm.

just the right coolness, the sugar
had been melted by the hot infu-

a dainty slice, and il was filled to
just the right height in the glass.
The other tea was cold tea with too
much ice, the sugar was unmelted,
and the lemon was a coarse chunk.
II was served too sloppily. and all
its charm was lost.
There are several things to re-

summer hostess, the making of the
beverages in the hot season can be
developed into a little art in itself.
