THE SOUTH PLAINS

Anyone who looks out over this
country can hardly persuade him
self that we ever had drouth. II is
today flower carpeted for literally
miles and is varicgated as God ever
made the fair garden Of Eden.-La-
mesa Reporter.
1t is just the wonderful recuper-
ating powers of the South Plains soil.
II is rich, full of life and when the
proper amount of moisture strikes IL,
there is something doing right now.
Unlike the soil in many other sec
tions Of the state and in some Of the
older states, il does not require a lot
of fertilizing TO bring il around and
produce the crops, but just little
water, and not very mu1.. will pro
duce a grea. harvest.
Come to the South Plains LuD-
book is the hub, but there are some
mighty good little towns an around
us, and the country is rich and pro-
ductive for several hundred miles in
every direction.

The little knowledge you need about tea IS easy to get. It will save you money and bring you a lot of pleasure.
 Here 1t IS:
 Fine tea IS made from young tender leaves of the tea-plant, which are rich in sap and flavor.
 Common tea comes from the older leaves which are full of tannin. Tannin, you know, IS what they tan leather with; 1t IS not only harsh to the taste, but bad for stomach and nerves.
 So If you want tea-havor, not tannin, buy really good tea and get the full rich tea taste.
 It costs more per pound than common tea but less per cup because a pound makes so many cups
