OF WINTER
BREAKING GARDEN SOILS

q. u. Everett, Garden Specialist, EX-
/ tension Service. A. and NJ Col
lege Of Texas
I There has been a number of ar
tiles written this fall on the import
ance OF fall breaking Of the land, to
be used next spring for gardening
purposes. Although fall is over. the
gardens which have not been manur-
ed and broken should be as soon as
possible Do not delay this until
planting tinne next spring If good
garden is wanted Too much stress
cannot be placed on this breaking OF
the garden soils before winter, es-
pee tally II the soils are heavy. The
garden that is MANFRED and broken
In the fall or winter will produce bet
ter and more vegetables than the gar
den chat is MANFRED and broken in
the spring.
The deep breaking of the garden
in the fall or early winter prepares
the soil 50 that more of the winter
rains and SHOWS will be absorbed.
The dead roots. leaves and stems of
plants grown the season before are
turned under and will decompose
quicker than II turned under late in
the spring. also the manure that is
added in the fall or early winter
when turned under is given plenty Of
time to decompose. Manures contain
organic matter which absorbs and re-
tains quite an amount Of moisture.
Wood ashes are also very benefi-
cial TO the soil They contain. when
fresh. about per cent of potash
which is one Of the essential elements
used by growing plants. Ashes also
contain large percentage Of lime
which helps the physical conditions
OF both light and heavy soils. Rains ,
will leach potash out of the ashes so
they should be sheltered or placed on
the land right away. DO not add ash /
rs with the manure, but about ten
days or two weeks later The ashes .
should be scattered and not thrown
in pile. Many tons of good wood
ashes are going to waste around cot
ION gins and other places where they
burn wood
The garden soil is exposed to
freezes and SHOWS when the land is
broken in fall or early winter. This
freezing puts the land in better
physical condition when il is in the
ooser form.

To All Farmers .sd Poultry Growers
OF Lubbock County.

To All Farmers asd Poultry Growers
OF Lubbock County.
wish to call your attention to the
following paragraphs taken from a
circular letter recently sent all Coun-
ty and Home Demonstration Agents
Of Texas. by Prof r W Kazmeier.
: Poultry Husbandnan of the Exten-
sior Service Of the A. & NJ. College.
Now that the war is over, feed
prices have a tendency to decli5c, and
I a large part Of Texas has been
blessed with plenty Of rain. we cam
net help but look with hope toward
he development of he standard bre
I poultry industry in our great 81 tie.
The poultry population of Texas
the past three years has decreased
more than 60 per cent The reasons
for this are plain to everyone. 70
that il will be unnecessary TO enumcr-
ate them here.
I Everybody should. be awakened to
the possibilities of standard bred
poultry. With a good feed crop al
most assured. i is very important
that plans be Immediately made for
restocking Teas with standard bred
poultry
Many Of the mongrel fowls have !
been disposed Of. and now let us all /
help replace them with standard B
bred birds do not feel il necessary
TO go into a lengthy discussion for
the purpose of proving that standard
bred stock is better and more prof
table than mongrel or scrub stock.
Everybody is well aware Of the super
iority Of standard bred stock.
There is no question but that we
will have an unprecedented demand
for standardized poultry and breed.
ers should be urged to mate their
pens early and be prepared in every
way to meet the demand"
In this connection | would remind
you that your County Agents keep at
hand a list Of local breeders as well 4
those from every section Of the State
We are not only glad to recommend
reliable dealers but also to assist you
in clubbing your orders for eggs and
stock so that you may get them at
less expense than otherwise.

.METHODlSTS SHOULD
GATHER new ZEAL
Centenary an Inspiration. Says
Or. Fisher.

DR.. Fred Fisher of New York. who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary OF the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
ton to the Job OF mobilizing Method
ism I'm Columbus, June 20 to July u.
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $4,000 committeeman Of
the Methodist Church. he says: I'VE
must stress four things. First. this
win be a big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists OF the United States
have lived more in the past year than
in any 10 previous years of their ex-
istence. Now Is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory.
In the second place, this is an OPP
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities o.
which they have been talking for the
past year. but OF which they have no
personal knowledge. or these $4,000
men. only negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity OF going
abroad. At the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third. this Is the time TO finish
the job to gather inspiration and In.
formation to enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out Tor the next four years.
Fourth. and most important OF all.
IL the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back OF II hold.
II must be the inspiration for plan
ming work for the next century. AS
we look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gather
new faith and new zeal for enter
prises that can be measured only In
terms OF another century. We must,
i'm a word. weld ourselves together In
a great spiritual purpose to strike
the bulls eye"
DR.. Fisher indicated that $50 train.
cd executives. in addition TO the u.s.
600 volunteer workers. will stimulate
interest in the Centenary Celebration
during the next six weeks.
