LITTLE FINANCIAL DISTRESS
AMONG BUCKEYE FARMERS

Acute financial distress has not
been evidenced by Ohio farmers so
far this year, S. A. Roach, secretary
of the Ohio Bankers association, said
recently at Columbus.
Reports that many farmers are un-
able to pay off their notes, because of
the slump in prices Of their products,
are not based upon bank statistics,
said Roach.
"No complaints from member banks
to the effect that farmers are unable
TO pay off their notes, have com in"
Roach said. "The war finance cor
poration, which functions as reserve
from which banks loaning to farmers
can borrow, has not been called on
for any large loans" These facts,
said Roach, would indicate that the
Ohio farmer is in better condition
than is generally supposed.
Bankruptcy in few scattered in
stances has occurred among Ohio far
mcrS, said Frank Dean of the Ohio
farm bureau federation. But this is
not an Indication, he said, that Ohio
farmers in general are in distress
financially.

The Sow Saw an Opportunity

The Sow Saw an Opportunity
But the cow wasn't the only one of
the trinity to evidence that she was
appreclative of the notice being taken
of her.
Local capitalists put in about $15,-
600, secured two of the BRIGHTEST
young men in the state and started a
hog breeding farm.
The county demonstration agent in
duced a progressive young capitalist
to put $4,000 into another.
(And, by the way, their herd boar
was made the state grand chamnion
in the Duroc class.)
The Pure Bred Live Stock Associa-
ton Gts members represent an invest
mcnt of about 100000 in brecdinp,
stock--hogs, beef and dairy cattle) be
gan to preach the doctrine of what
the sow can do and they backed that
up with letting the farmers have
shoats and sows at reasonable prices.
There was a lot of skim milk as a
result Of the activities Of the cream
cries; and the feed crop came in
handy.
One of the banks organized a pic.
club scheme and interested a lot of
the boys.
The price of hogs on the hoof has
gone back to the dime mark for the
sort of pigs which we grew in La
mar--purc brcds that are ripe within
Twelve months after the sow has been
bred-and there is demonstration
that there is money in pork which has
impressed the farmer.
The superintendent Of the swine Iii
vision of the Lamar District Fair mas
notified the directors that they will
have to increase his space at least
500 per cent and then he will have
to hold the entries down to the very
best. The editor of the News is the
secretary of that Pure Bred Assoca-
tion and he is running big display
ads in the paper to further the good
work as we'll as boosting in the news

thought the banks were in league
with us-but only couple of them

The banks closed down tighter on
the credit and insisted more strongly
on payment-ddn't like to renew but
didn't want the cotton or the mules.
The farmers cussed and cussed and
got sOrer and sorer.

Put the old time reporter we employ
to minglc with the farmers to work in
terviewng them on "Ho VITO Live at
Home" and How | Succeeded With a
Cow, a Sow and Hen"
That reporter has been mingling
with the farmers Of Lamar county for
twenty-five years; but he used to i'm
plore the editor to please. find him

know what minute he might have to
go to the hospital. Said he loved the
paper and didn't like to hear it cussed
SO continuously, copiously and gener-
ally.
The editor went out into the coun-
try and sang that song. The Chamber
OF Commerce laid off the county dem
onstration agent as a matter of eco
nomy and the farmers they cussed the
editors, the Chamber of Commerce,
the banks and themselves.
They kept getting sorer all the
time.
BUT the sorcr they got tn, more
Then they got to studying about it.
Then the circulation got to going
back and the first thing you know we
had (in less than sixty days. most of

has never been quite so tight in this
county before.

A Fair Cotton Crop Is Made

But, despite this Increased yield i'm
feedstuff, and despite the fact that
the acreage devoted to cotton was
cut about 30 per cent, despite the fact
that the boil wecvil got lot of the
first squares put on, the bankers of
Paris, the merchants of Paris who
maintain crop reporting system and
the cotton men who make their living
buying the cotton, figure that we shall
have a crop, of approximately $4,000
balcs-and that is conservative.
The News maintains its own crop
reporting publishes daily in
teViews with farmers in all sections
of the county--and estimates that the
crop will be about 10000; but cotton
is dccciving and it may vary 5000 or
5000 bales either way.
The Texas Industrial Congress csti-
mates the entire crop Of Texas at
about 100000 bales, so you will see
that Lamar county will have a very
good percentage of what is grown i'm
the state.
Fannin, Red River and Delta coun-
ties are also within the influence of
the Paris News as well as McCurtain
and Choctaw counties, Oklahoma.
SO if tho, price Of cotton is anything
above dimc-and from Secretary
Testers statement and the dope the
Department of Agriculture is putting
out it should be around II cents
the farmers of Lamar county are go
ing to have right smart of money
from their cotton and the seed this
year.
They will have enough to pay off
the banks, to clean up with the mcr-
chants and then have couple of mil
lions to spend. They haven't been

The Hens Are Cacklinp

The News induced the Red River
Valley Poultry Association members
to put on an advertising campaign
this Spring-thc first tir thew had
ever tried the plan of bunching their
hits and going after the game right
The secretary of the association re-
ports to the News that the success
was so great that when the fall breed
ing season opens the members of the
association wish to contract for half
a page i'll each Sunday edition-and
maybe page on some Sundays.
The manager of the White Produce
Company-a million dollar concern
doing four lnililon dollars worth of
business annually with branch houses
over North Texas and Oklahoma
tells the News that he has doubled his
appropriation for the Paris territory
this fall. Says that he paid out about
$285, 200 last year; and expects to paw
out over half million this year for
eggs, chickens, turkeys and country
butter.
The management Of the Lamar Fair
has been giving the poultry fanccrs
200 coops each year. The secretary
of the poultry association has notified
the fair management that he has al
ready applications for 500 coops and
Wi! the management please get busy? {?
The fair management has also set
aside a buildil for the poultry which
has thrice the room of the tent used
in other years.
The hen is cackling all over Lamar.

mighty few new cars, practically no
new machinery, no new clothes, moth

This cotton money isn't all they will
have, either; for you will remember
they will have their feed money and
some other funds.
The Cow Has Counted Heavy
The local ice cream factory is run
by Il fellow named Bryant. Pretty
live fellow and sees his opportunities
lie was told that more people got a
start in times like these than in the
flush periods.
Bryant had capital of $4,000 to
operate on.
Last year he spent $4,000 for milk
products outside the state and the
county for his ice cream factory.
This year he talked it over with the
News man and started him cream
cry of his own--makes first class but
ter Hnd sells every pound he can
make.
With the butterfat market in Dallas
around 10 cents, Bryant was payinp.
two bits in Paris; and when Dallas
went to % cents Bryant raised the
price to 80 cents in Paris.
He has prospered and the farmers
have been bringing in their butterfat
(which left them some skim milk for
the hogs we are going to tell about
on the next page.
Bryant has sent mighty little money
outside the state this year; and that
Tor cartons and such like things.
He's going ocXpand his company
into one with 100000 capital this
fall-and the editor of the News is to
be one of the stockholders.
Bryant was going pretty nicely, but

Ham and Eggs

While the strong effort of the News
has been to advance the interest OF
the people of Lamar-and, for that
matter, of the whole of Northeast
Texas through The Cow, the Sow
and the Hen, we are going to devote
special attention for the next several
months to Ham and Eggs.
You arc probably fond of ham and
c%;SH. Most folks arc. Some of us
arc ASHAMED t. ask for them i'm the
high priced hotels: but some of the
best I've ever eaten have been served
in those hotels fer they know how
to get 'cm out.
We are going to impress upon the
people of this county just what de-
inHnd there is for ham and cggs-an
unFailinG demand over the whole
country. \ car load of infertile eggs
and u car load of young hogs repre-

thing. but cotton. Metzger is putting
out about 5000 week for cream right
now; and Sam Schlecher, his agent,
told the manager of the firm the 9TH
er day that he would be able to
spend at least a thousand dollars a
week this fall.
The dealers report that the sales of
separators have been larger this year
than in the whole of the five years
preceding.

The Cow, the Sow and the Hen

With the farmers in that frame of
a song of which the chorus was: The
mind, the Paris News began to sing
Cow, the Sow and the Hen.
There were verses about food and
feed crops and doing your own work.
We intended it to b eclassical stuff
with some deep heart interest ('Old
Folks at Home" and live at "TI ONE,
Sweet Home" you know but it didn't
get to 'em that way because of their
feelings having been hurt.
Believe us, it sounded like jazz be-
cause it was mixed in with that cussin
the farmers were doing.
We were running around 1900 then.
The farmers cusscd worse than ever

What can one little country news
paper do standing alone? Why it can
raise the devil on the one hand and on
the other it can restore local business
to normal and it, can lead the farmer
into, the promised land-providing the
published has the heart, the ability,
and the energy to go at his task with
will. M
This has been demonstrated by the
Paris (Tex J Morning News. The story
was told in September issue of that
paper, an issue that showed the people
how the farmers of Lamar county,
Tex in a short time nearly pulled
themselves out of the hole--lincd with
cotton-inl which they found them
selves. Before the winter sets in prop
erly they are going to be out entirely,
and they will have money to spend
after having made enough to pay their
debts.
Read this characteristic story as
written by the editor of the Paris
News. 1t will instruct and inspire. It's
style is unique, its purpose splendid,
it's record of accomplishment amazing
Read it. 1t ran under the caption: The
Cow, the Sow and the Hen at Home
in Lamar County:
The Farmers Rode High
In Lamar county-just like they did
everywhere else--for couple Of
years. Cotton was high and they
could afford to pay high wages for
labor-and they did.
Money was easy, they could borrow
without much trouble-and they did.
Just like everybody else, they got
caught when the bottom fell out.
: They were in hole lined with cotton
and it was deep hole. You folks
don't know about cotton. The farm
ers had the cotton-a lot Of it 1--WE had
partial crop failure in 1920 and only
grew about $4,000 bales)-and the
market quotations said it was worth
two bits pound; but the local buy
crs are a canny lot (regu]ar Scotch
men) and thought the market would
go lower--and it did.
The farmers were willing to sell
For the two bits, but the buyers
wouldn't pay that and the farmers
were not willing to accept the price
fendered-evcn as you and l would
not.
The banks wanted their money
and they wouldn't accept cotton at
the market price for notes.
The market kept sagging and the
farmers began, under pressure, to ac-
cept fifteen cents; and finally a good
many of them took dime.
They got sore about it and cusscd
cotton and the buyers and the banks
and the government and themselves
a"H most everything else. Sure was
some cussin' match.
