Growing Weather Boosts
Wealth for the Farmers

A few persons complain thai the
weather is still "A little warm at mid
day. but they do not realize that this
beautiful warm weather is shoveling
wealth into the pockets OF the farm
rrs.
There has been threatened feed
shortage all over the coast, and this
weather is bringing on Sl2 alfalfa
hay at a great rate. II is true that
in most cases there is great need for
this feed on the farms whore grown,
but the gain is equally as great in
those cases, though possibly not so APP
parent as on farms from which il is
sold by the ton.
Another crop which is being boosted
immensely by the weather is barley,
of which there IS 100000 acres in the
valley. coming forward for winter
pasture and for the grain harvest next
May.
But the crop which is making the
greatest gain is cotton. Tom DAILY Of
CaleXico has Just sold 10 bales of long
staple cotton for % cents, o. 500
bale. lie has over 1000 acres of the
finest of cotton. and all over the val
ley the cotton fields are making a sim
ilarly great showing. while the price
is also very satisfactory.
The movement of the crops is grow
ing more free. increasing the cash
receipts of the valley and pointing to
great improvement in the immediate
future.

A WELL KEPT PARK

One of the best evidences of a rising. up-to-date town is a well kept park. Even if, ofnecessity it must be small it serves it's pur- pose by showing strangers that the citizens of the town take pride in it's appearance. Yet this park must be well kept, else it is worse than none at all. Authorities can see that it does not become the loafing place for all the "gentlemen of leisure" in the village. Every town that has a small park recognizes a good hing when they see it and every town which has not a park has still a good thing coming.

4 HANDY DOG

Were you ever kept awake at night by the bowling or barking of a dog? Not very pleasant, is it? If you know how 1t sounds keep your dog locked up at night. Put him in your barn or out-shed at night so that his music will not make your Christian neigh bors say things which should be left Lnsaid. Keep him up so that your yard will not be filled with tin cans and brick bats aimed at the dog poor innocent creature. He is only mourning for his friend who has strayed into a sausage factory. Lock him up. my friend. The deed will add star to your heavenly crown.
