More than so per cent of the corn
crop is fed to farm animals. The best
place to feed it is on the farms where
it is grown. The shrewd reeder doesn't

LARGEST GRAIN SORGHUM CROPS
EVER GROWN WILL BE HARVESTED
IN WEST TEXAS THIS SEASON

harvested. The acreage planted in
grain-sorghums in West Texas in
1921 is estimated at 2,340, 900 acres,
against 100000 acres for 1920. The
production in 1920 was 60,992,000
bushels or an average Of 30 bushels

II is an interesting fact that the
farm land value Of 1920 was higher
IN West Texas and lowest in Oklaho-
ma. While the crop Of West Texas
in 1920 sold for an average Of Si.2l
per bushel. that Of Oklahoma sold
for only an average Of 60 cents per
bushel Kansas sold her crop at SO
cents; Colorado sl.05 cents The
average for the entire grain sorghum
belt was 9i.5 cents.
Il is also interesting to note the
variations in the seasonal prices Of
the grain-sorghums While on jan
uary Is, 1917 the average value for
the entire American grain-sorghum
belt was sl.l9 lilo cents, and on
June 10 Of the same year the price
had increased TO 5000 lilo cents.
The principal reason why the grain
sorghums Of West Texas have an
average selling price higher than the
selling price in other states is due 70
the immense Communicating and TO
the excellency Of the marketing con-
ditions az the principal grain market
ing centers, such as Fl Worth, ANA
rillo, Wichita Falls, and Lubbock in
Texas and the demand in the market
ing centers at Kansas City, Memphis,
and New Orleans.
Il is estimated that the farm land
value Of the grain-sorghums is doub-

WOMAN PLACES VALUE
ON MANS LIFE

Woman is the glory of man. From
his soul she pins the heart strings
Of his life and weaves them into the
fabric of his future. "Man and His
Woman" the j. Stuart Blackton-
Pathe feature starring Herbert Raw
linson at the Liberty Theatre tomor-
row, shows how two women wove the
life fabric of a man.
Herbert Rawlinson portrays doc
tor who has discovered tuberculosis
serum that will benefit humanity.
The woman he loves wrecked his life.
He sinks to the lowest depths and his
God-given power of saving life is
wasted.
But sucn man owes something to
the world, if not to himself. Eve
Cartier, woman whose life was de
voted to service of others, with her
purity and faith and her love for him,
spurred him on to a new life. Soul
and body, she restored his strength.
MAN and His Woman" is from the
pen of Shannon Fife. Herbert Raw
linson is given the splendid support
of charming May McAvoy in the role
of the woman who spun for good
Eulalie Jensen as the woman who
spun for evil; Warren Chandler as
the other man, and Louis Dean and
Charles Kent in small but important
parts.

vengeance.
Then, as things began to get slightly
normal again, few factories, facing
a demand for the cars of their make,
began to perk up and started opera
TOMS on a decreased scale. The cheap
cars started first because that was
about the only kind the people could
buy. The reserve stock had either
been gradually absorbed or not alb
sorbed at all, and the fact became
known to the keen manufacturers that
prices would have to come down ap-
preciably if they wished to Econtinue
in business A few manufacturers
tried to bolster the game by stating
it would be impossible to reduce the
prices for a long time to come; one
or two even had the hardihood and
gall to announce an advance in price
Of their cars.
However. all this skirmishing and
by-play got them nowhere for people
didn't buy, couldn't buy. and the fel-
lows who saw the situation knew with
the falling price of materials and
wages they would have to sell for
less. Then, with this resolve. the
whole structure OF high cost Of cars
began to tumble. One popular high
priced car recently announced de-
cline of one thousand dollars off the
old price; another company has made
two successive reductions in price; /;
several others have cut from two hun
dred, and even more, off the pre-war
prices.
Rubber tires have joined the down
ward procession and healthy reduc-
tions have been announced by many
manufacturers.
It is predicted that with the announ-
cement Of the 1921 car models some
drastic cuts in cost to the buyer will
be announced. This It lis supposed
will be some time this summer, the
usual time for the announcement Of
the new models.
