IMPORTANT MEETING OF MEN
FROM STATE DEPARTMENT HERE
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE AGRICULTURAL DE-
PARTMENT TO MEET DECEMBER Bird
STANDARDIZATION OF THE ROW CROPS
This VIII Be One of the Most Important Meetings Ever Held
This Section for the Farmers Of the Ksffr and Maize
Predicting Sections

Grain dealers and Producers Of
West Texas will assemble here Satur-
day, December 3rd., at 2 p. m. in
meeting called by the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture, 70 be held at
the court house, in an attempt TO
establish standard grades for all
head sorghums.
The meeting we'll be attended by
heads Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture and the A.. & NJ. College, rep
resentatives Of State Demonstration
farms. and county agents from all
over West Texas. and bids fair 20 be
one Of the most interesting and most
worthy meetings Of It's kind ever held
here.
The idea Of establishing standard
grades for these grains probably does
not seem at all great to those Of uf
who are not directly interested in the
production Of marketing Of these
crops. but when we think Of how long
our farmers and buyers have bees
going at their business in a haphaz-
ard, hit-or-miss manner, we will sure
ly appreciate the ingenuity Of the one
who conceived the idea, for ii is plain
indeed that the buyer had to offer
the producer a price for the lowest
grade heads supposed 10 be sold IL he
protected himself, and it is indeed,
hard to estimate the amount Of mon
ey that has been lost by the producer
in receiving the same price for .
high grade product that was being
paid for the inferior grade.
Especially will this assist our
farmers in a financial way as tho
better grades will be in demand at
from one TO three dollars per ton
more than the of grades, and West
Texas is no adapted to raising feed
that the very best grades can be pro
duced here al no greater cost than the
other.
The fact that raising feed has
been no more profitable on the plains
is easily accounted for in the fact
that there has never been a stand
ard set for grades in these grains,
and the plains has been great sor-
were cultivated, and our farmers
have used these grains more as .
side line with stockraising than as
a marketable commodity
A close estimate would place tho
crop Of these grains that are shipped
from West Texas annually al mo-e
than seventy-five thousand carloads
which were here, ofore sold on the
market with the buyer knowing lttl.
or nothing Of what he was getting,
and who had 10 offer the lowest
price for IL With etandardized
grades the buyer will be legally rro-
fested as with all other graded com
and the farme- viii know
what kind Of price 20 expect for his
feed
Every farmer Of West Texas should
consider the opportunity 10 attend
this meeting one worthy Of his time
and consideration, as its success win
mean better and more progressive
system under which he can work.

Mondell said that he entertained
the hope" that the permanent tariff
bill would pass in the Senate early
in December, when the regular ses-
sion is under way.
Representative Garrett Of Tennes-
see, Democratic leader, characterized
the session as failure.
Maternity Bill a Law.
The revenue bill he denounced as
unscientific and inequitable. He
quoted high Republican author
iiy" as saying the bill was only a
temporary measure, and declaring
-his was a poor showing for a party
in power for three years.
He charged that the Republicans
had deceived the public in failing 70
enact a tariff measure, and ihat II
vas never intended that the bill
which passed the House should be-
come law.
Another important measure which
beeamc law at adjournment was the
maternity bill which provides for an
axuenditure Of more than S6,00O,-
600 by States and the Federal Gov
ernment, In. cooperation, for mater
nifty aid and education President
Harding signed the bill just after
the revenue bill.

Would Establish
Number of State
Recreation Parks

"Ir connection with the idea OF a
park n each county in Texas and also
state parks. which we have been work
ing on for some time, I wish you
would be good enough 10 furnish us
preliminary survey Of, first, a park
site IN your county, which you would
like 90 see set aside for a playground
for your local people, and, second,
any fine spot for a state park in your
vicinity" reads a letter received by
the Board Of City Development from
J. z. George. vice president and gen
eral manager Of the Texas Chamber
Of Commerce.
I'm furnishing this information
kindly give US a general description
Of the park sites and an estimate Of
the acreage contained in them, and
any other information which you
think would be Of value in this pro-
gram.
"Our idea is that each county in
the State should have a park for the
use Of local people, and that there
should be about eight state parks, in
eluding. tentatively, Palo Duro Can
yon, Davis Mountains, Caddo lake,
two on the Gull Coast, one in North
Central Texas. Frio Canyon and one
in Central Texas on the Colorado
River or other suitable points.
II am sure you will be interested
in this program Of development Of
parks, not only from the standpoint
Of furnishing Fairgrounds for our
citizens, but on account Of the ma
terial benefit to be gained by tourists
coming to the State. Several Of the
western states have been developed
in this way"

ing those who helped me put the

out hardly an exception the replys
came back over the telephone; yes,
we will be glad TO do what we cam

This Is a tribute 20 the women
hood Of Lubbock and Lubbock should
be proud OF them. not only for the
good work done in this drive but
for the work they have done along
this line in the passed. During the
war some spent most Of their time
sewing for the boys across the big
pond. The good women who orig
inally brought this work TO Lubbock
should also have due credit.
This just goes to show that the
women are behind anything that is
right and just and for the good Of
Lubbock. Further the contributions
from the good women who were not
given the chance TO work on this
drive, by reason Of the committees
reing filled leads me to believe their
hearts were in the work just as much
as IL they were on the committees.
also wish 10 thank Mr.. J. l.. DIV,
for SPACE used in his paper TO furth-
er the cause. He Is always right
there 70 do his part.
wish &c thank the merchants and
the business men for their cnntribu-
tions and assistance. While we did

ginning with the manager and on
through 20 the solicitors, there Is

Some people, when solicited, seem

his services.
To those who gave literally for
this work, will come satisfaction
through the year, that they have help
ed in n worthy cause. The scores
Of ex-soldiers that are assisted each
year through this chapter, alone,
makes the contribution Of money and
time worth while. But in addition
TO this is the civilian relief handled
through the organization that IS Of
unralculable value There will be
many a family this year chat viii
bless this organization, as well as
many a fakir that wont. The thou
sands will still get the benefit Of
the Rest Room. and the Junior work
and other lines will be carried on.
The funds subscribed are not en-
tirely sufficient to carry the work
on as il should be. Many people do
not seem TO realize the value Of the

ORANGE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

Notes for Week Ending October Is.
Three of the squad of solicitors have
been working in the county during the
week doing cleanup work on the
membership campaign. It will not be
possible to give the final results of the
campaign for several days. but the
number will be well over 500.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day the Tunbridge Fair was attended.
No attempt was made to make a Farm
| Bureau exhibit at this fair. but the
| State Extension Service exhibit charts
| and bulletins and "a few articles of
! clothing representing work of the
Home Demonstration department. Mr.
| c H Winslow of Burln gton was in
charge of the exhibit which occupied
prominent position in the Floral Hall.
/ The Fair as a whole was a big sue
cess. One of the special features OF
the stock show was the lot of pure
bred calves exhibited by the boys in
the Green Mountain pure bred Jersey
Calf Club.
During the coming week much of
the time will be spent in the office on
the record work connected with the
campaign.
We wish to call attention to the
fact that the Farm Bureau office now
has competent office help, and telephone
calls to the office will be answered
every day between the hours of a. m.
and p. M, except Friday afternoons.
Miss Alice Densmore will have charge
of the office at all times when the
County Agent and Demonstration
Agent are absent. Farm Bureau MEM
bers will thus be able to get word to
the County Agent and Demonstration
Agent. which service has not been
realized before.
Both of the Agents are necessarily
out OF the office a good share of the
time. and without the full time help
we now have, no one was able to get
any message to them. We hope the
Farm Bureau members will avail them
selves OF this increased service in their
Farm Bureau office.
On Monday, October 10, n meeting
was held at the home of Mrs Hersey
in Williamstown.
The Home Demonstration Agent at
tended the Tunbridge Fair, and assist
ed in the clothing exhibit. and in the
