The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1920-06-03

10 one who has been acquainted
with the growth and development
Of the South Plains, especially that
portion of which Terry county 10
known the period Of development that
arose during the past fall and winter
months has been unequnllcd. hun
dreds Of new farms have been open
ed in that section. New homes. with
good houses, barns and garages dot
the country New substantial busi-
ness houses are building and the town
of Brownfeld is rejecting a good
substantial growth unprecedented IN
It's history.
Besides the growth and extension
Of the resident district Of Brown
field. which is practically all OF a
novel bungalow type, the erection OF
the fine two story modern brick
school building which Is apparently
complete. together with the newly
constructed First National Bank
building and the working on the
other constructions Of the city makes
one believe at once that things are
moving onward in Brownheld with
preparations Of bigger buildings bet
ter buildings and better town. Pos
sibly no other section in the country
can show as many newly construct
ed homes as that portion between
Lubbock and Brownfeld and the Vi
entity Of Brownfeld itself.
The condition Of the country Is
good. Fine rains have fallen in the
past few weeks and hardware deal
ers declare they are unable 10 sup
ply the demand for farm implements.
One large hardware concern IN that
city told the Avalanche reporter tina.
they didn't believe that the needs Of
the farmers for farm implements in
Terry county will be met this seas
On. This same concern state that to-
Ether with the great growth IN bus
ness, the cash trade IS taking the
lead and credit conditions Of the far
mers are growing better. This con
Germ is also now taking the lead to-
ward stock farming and Is encourag-
ing the use Of various labor and
money saving devices. They state
that the demand for milk separators
has increased enormously recently
and much cream is being shipped
from Brownheld.
Bank In Good Shape
The deposits Of the oldest bank
in Browaheld. which has a capital
stock Of S25,0OO.O0 IN February this
year, amounted 10 S542.442.5g This
bank had also a surplus Of 1892
1873 10 February this year and
had loans out 90 the amount Of S277,-
24743. Although since that time the
deposits have decreased approximate
~ $40 600 with this institution and
their loans increased about the same
amount. The financial standing Of the
section served By this bank .s con
sidered better than Of years prior
10 1919 Both banks on May ith
had a combined deposit Of s576,-
5t5l The bankers with whom We
talked. say that credit conditions are
good although the demand IS strong
as reasons being for the improve
meuts on the farms the purchasing
81 live stock and farm implements.
Farming IN The Brownheld yicini-
" has started 81 with a boom since
the rains In most every field one
or more planters are seen and most
Of these are out FOR a larger cotton
crop than that " 1919. There VIII
be thousands more acres cultiVat-
ed IN Terry county this year than
ever before with the present good
prospects for a seasonable year.
May Have Lime Mil
