SECURING FINE PICTURES
Yambas Are Having u Series of Fine
Pictures Taken of the Great
PrOwers County Crops
This Season

On account of the extra fine crops
in the Lamar territory this season, the
Lamar Yambas intend to take advant-
age of the opportunity TO secure new
set of cuts for advertising purposes.
Mr.. Steele, who is an expert photo
grapher in the line of securing out
door pictures for halftone purposes,
has been in the section taking pictures
for the ID. A. M. Il z. Co., and the
Yambas have engaged him to secure
a series of special pictures showing to
advantage some of the best fields of
the various staple crops of the Lamar
territory. There will be pictures of
70-bushels per acre wheat crops, so
bushels corn, 100-bushels oats and bar
ley, and 2-ton per acre alfalfa. These
with fine fields of beets and beans, and
other crops will make a showing that
cannot be excelled anywhere in the
country, and the crops are right here
ready for the photographer this year.
1t is the greatest season that the La
mar territory has ever known, and the
Y. NJ. B. Association with its CUSTOM
AIRY enterprise is determined to get the
full benefit of it by letting the world
know what our lands can produce.

BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT
FOR YOUNG MAN TO
ACQUIRE FARM
Thirty Years Ago Average Tenant
Could Accumulate First Pay
ment in Five Years-Now
Ii Takes Eleven.

In a recent number Of The Agricul-
tural Review a plea is made for the
Improvement of conditions for the
young farmer without means.
"The agricultural ladder has three
rungs, represented by the stages of
hired man. tenant, and owner. After
having learned prschtical farming,
working as an unpaid laborcr on his
fathers farm, the young maa without
capital, especially if his fathers farrn
is too small 20 give him a chance at
home, starts out rs a hired man. In
from four to six years as hired man
he has accumulated few hundred dol
lars. He can usually borrow an
arlcunt equal tc his savings. He lien
becomes a tenant.
Thirty years age it took the aver
age tenant cnly five years to acquire
enough to make a first payment on a
good farm. Now 1t t1kes an average
of eleven years. As lanI rises in
price, unless the price of farm pro-
ducts rises too, it will take still long
er to pass the tenant stage. A very
few men 20 directly from hired man
to owner.
To prevent tenancy from becoming
too common in this country, and to
make the career of hired man attract
i've, the government should establish
a system of credit to enable capable
hired man to get capital enough to
become a farm owner"-Colorado Ag-
ricultural College News NoteG.

Denton is Strong for the D.C.D.

In a letter dated June 7th, 1919, ad-
dressed to w. A. Palmer, Secretary
and General Manager CT the Dallas
Canadian Denver Highway, Hon. F. NJ.
Bradley, President of the College of
Industrial Arts located at Denton, Tex
as, and President of the Chamber of
Commerce Of Denton, usos the follow
ing language:
This part of Texas is greatly in
terested in the D-C-D Highway, and
we stand ready to meet our part of
the financial obligations necessary to
make the D-C-D one Of the best in the
Nation.
Denton County recently voted 51a
to /, 81 5000 of Good Roads Bonds;
and when we add to this sum the
amount of Federal and State Aid we
shall get, and an income we shall get
from another source, it will make more
than 100000 Denton County is to
spend on good roads. In this expendi-
ture, the Denton county division Of the
p CD will be properly taken care Of"

Receive Shipment of Fords.

Three carloads of Ford Touring
cars have just been received by Sun
days Garage, and at present their
work shop is one of the busiest places
in town. A force of over twenty men
are working at top speed assembling
the Fords in order that the many
anxious buyers may receive them as
soon as possible.
Owing to the fact that at present
the Ford factories are not able to sup
ply ears enough to meet the demand,
Sundays Garage is extremely FORUM
ate in being able to procure so many
cars for their customers.

Bond Election.

The election on Monday at the Cen
tral school building to decide the ques-
ton as to whether the school board
could change the issue Of bonds voted
in March from long time bonds to
short time attracted very little atten-
ton from the voters. Twenty-four
votes only were cast, but they stood
% to in favor of the change so it
is fair to say that those taxpayers
who paid any attention to the matter
at all were very Overwhelmingly in
favor Of the change.

A Wonderful Life Story.

Men and women interested in seeing
what Christianity has done for one
man should be at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday night. At the first
union service of the churches of Lamar
this season Mr.. w. H. Flake who spent
twenty-seven years of his life in prison
will tell his life story. He is now as
enthusiastic for good as he used to be
for evil. A modern miracle-nothing
less is the change in this mans life.
The story will be told in a sincere and
modest manner and cannot fail to i'm
press and interest. The story has been
told from Atlantic to the Pacific to the
good of thousands of men and womer.
The service will begin at 800 p. m.

Sunday and Monday Big Days
- for Lamar and Surround
ing Territory
Morning Constitutional.

Lamar people are taking their morn
ing constitutionals up in the air this
week-at least quite few of them
are, and the air is filled with the hum
of the gas buggies in the air and on
the ground so thick that fellow no
longer knows whether to dodge with
his head or feet. Even the mode st
price of $40 a shot doesn't deter the
sport, but only seems to add zest to
it. Some of our citizens are taking
out family tickets, and one hired the
plane to make a quick business trip
to Wiley. A trip to Springfield is
said to be on the card for today.

SPRINkLING NOT BEST WAY
TO WATER THE GARDEN
Water Does Not Soak Into SOil-Best
Results Obtained by Furrow
Irrigation.

The question of irrigating the veg
etable garden, especially in cities and
towns where the use of water is more
OF less restricted, is Of considerable
Importance at this season. The main
point in such irrigation is to supply
a proper amount CT moisture with the
least work possible. R. A. McGinty,
of the Colorado Agricultural College,
gives the following suggestions:
"It is often the custom for city
gardeners to water the garden with
a hose. This is not satisfactory in
many cases, however, due to the fact
that sprinkling must be continued for
a longer time than many imagine, in
order to wet the SOL thoroughly, and in
a very short time the plants need to
be watered again. The water so lp-
piled usually penetrates only TO n
slight depth, which encourages the
vegetables to form a shallow root sys-
tenn, which allows them tc be quick
ly affected by dry weather.
The best way to irrigate plants Is
to make a shallow furrow just to one
side of the row and run n stream of
water in this. The water from tie
hose may be allowed to run into a
furrow across the ends of rows and
led into several irrigation burrows ut
ona time. If the nozzle must be left
on the hose, as is usually the case, the
water may be discharged into a WOOL
en- box or old gunny sack, to prevent
splashing, and then led :lto the irri-
cation burrows. The water SHOULD be
allowed to run for a sufficient time to
wet the soil thoroughly. This may be
determined by digging down for few
inches.
"By employing this method, not near
ly so much water is lcst by evapora-
ton, the surface Of the soil docs not
bake so badly, and the water applied
reaches t;-o roo.s Of :he plants where
it is needed"

Bank Statement.

The statement of The First National
Bank of Lamar in this issue shows
continuation of the steady business
growth of the past few years. Both
the deposits and assets show a sub
stantial gain over the previous state
ment in May, and this occurring in the
off season when there is no longer
money coming in for crops makes it
an exceptionally fine showing. 1t shows
the solid nature of Lamar's financial
condition because most of the banks ir
other sections of the state showed de-
clines at this time.

Building Up Dairy.

One of the instances showing how
rapidly the dairy industry builds up IN
this land of alfalfa and open winters
is that l.. U. Holtcamp, who came to
Lamar just few years ago and
started a small dairy on five acre
tract in the Goodale addition. His
business has been growing so rapidly
that last week he purchased the a.
acre tract west of the sugar factory
and extending to the river bridge with
a handsome home and other improve
ments The rapid growth of his herd
necessitated the larger quarters. This
is the ideal dairy section of the coun-
try and experts in this line of farming
are rapidly recognizing the fact and
securing lands here while they can
still be had at reasonable figures. In
a few years none of these irrigated
lands can be bought for less than
$3.50 per acre.

A Select List.

A New York dispatch announces the
arrival there of a 10000 ton trans.
port carrying one officer and ten men,
with no cargo. There was no explana-
ton for the restricted" passenger
list. Yet people who complain OF the
delay in returning soldiers, the delay
in mail and parcel post matter, the
heavy taxes, etc, etc, are accused OF
being near traitors. Well, if this be
treason, make the most OF 1t.

TO LATE FOR "HERPIcIDE!"

Words by A. Sap Music by S. Hound.
'Tis four years now
Since the big row"
Across the waters started;
We waited long
The sound OF gong
Which the bold warriors parted:
And then one day
(The papers say),
The Germans signed the armistice;
Too late, my love,
Came the peace dove;
Too late-the S. p. DIS. got US.
Twas but last May
We felt SO gay
AS we all Joined the Army.
They took away
Our clothing gay
And put us into khaki:
Gone is the year;
Discharge is near;
We've never seen our o. DIS.
Perhaps they'll bring
o. D's. next spring;
Too late-well never need them!
All winter long
We've heard a song
Entitled THERE'S NO WOOD;
When wood was scarce
We burned our stairs,
Or anything else We could.
Now comes the word
That someone's heard
Free fuels to be given;
We only smile
And think that while
Too late-we're glad we're livin'
As mess call blew
Down in the goo"
A poor sprueehound stumbled.
And US he stirred,
I, barely heard
These words he softly mumbled
"Oh, tbs no use
Though Warren Spruce
For grub con sure be beaten
would have ate,
| But now I'm late;
: Too late--the stew is eatcn!"
, The truth, vow,
, 'Tis eight months now
Since took out allotment;
, Which, up to date,
beg to state
a Has cost me many hot cent:
Back home, they say
They got the pay
In full for all months, seven:
