The Merits of chufas as Hog
Feed
\. r. NJ. Buffalo, Ala, writes:
How do chufas rank with pea
nuts as a hog feed and as
money crop?
According to tests which have been
made up to the present time, chufas
appear to compare quite favorably
with peanuts as a hog feed. The
yield of chufas varies greatly. The
average outturn per acre is probably
not far from 100 to 1870 bushels Of
forty-four pounds each. OF course,
much larger yields per acre have

Building Activities
Increasing Says
Local Lumberman

A w May, manager Of the Cicero
Smith Lumber Company, has oeen
very busy placing material for homes
and other buildings over Lubbock
County. There is more building GO
ing on in this section now than has
been done in a long time. the fian-
cial situation being greatly relieved
by the fall harvesting and gathering
Of the crops. Lubbock county land
owners are awake TO the fact that
there Is a great demand for homes
here at this time, there being hardly
a day that someone, and some DAYS
a good many, find housefinding a
serious proposition, who would do
much to develop the resources Of this
country If given an opportunity, and
true 20 the spirit that has always Leen
shown in this country, these land
owners are making as rapid progress
as possible toward relieving the
housing problems Of the newcomers.
There is nothing unusual about
the optomistic spirit of our lumber
dealers, as they see the need Of mod
ern homes here, and have the oppor-
tunity every day to talk with the men
who are broadminded enough to view

BIedsoe Oil Well Down 100 Feet;
Boot Off Casing Lost in Hole Cause
Long Delay But Now Ready to Go

A Lubbock man also bought a
tract a few weeks ago near the well.
and there is constant demand for
leases within radius Of several
miles.
The people Of West Texas realize
the courage involved in Mr. Bled-
soe's attempt TO develop this re-
source for this section, as he is
sparing no time nor money in max
ing the test. and his being compen-
stated for the investment and work
depends entirely upon the finding
Of oil. and the money he is able to
receive from leases near the well.
Mr.. Bledsoe is a pioneer Of the most
admirable class, as he has backed
his belief that there is oil in that
vicinity with money that he could
have kept and invested in ways that
he has tried and known safe, but
that is not the nature Of the man,
as he is willing 10 place this money
in the hands Of chance in an at
tempt to do something worth while
for the people Of his country. Mr..
Bledsoe is admired and loved by the
people of Abernathy, and rightfully
deserves il, and the nope that some
day he viii be known as the devel-
oper of the most productive oil field

AFEW REASONS WHY A HEALTH
WEEK HAS BEEN INAUCURATFD
BY THE HEALTH AUTHORITIES

/. In the United States every year,
nearly 100000 infants die before
reaching enc year Of age--a large
percentage Of them from prevent
able causes. Baby clinics public
health, nursing, adequate medical
care, and maternal education will
save them.
2. Fully one-third Of our school
children are undernourished. physic-
ally defective, or diseased. They
have bad teeth, infected tonsils, spin
al curvature, weak hearts, etc. Food,
education, medical inspection and
nursing, hygiene instruction, and the
formation Of health habits will con-
serve the wards Of the nation.
g. In 1919 in the Registration
Area OF the United States, 106,9s5
died Of tuberculosis preventable
disease. Health examinations in
schools and factories, clinics, and
nurses win discover this disease, and
proper treatment in hospitals, sana-
tarla and homes, win greatly diminish
this unnecessary waste.
4. Thousands of our people suffer
from vcneral disease. which must be
controlled through education, ade-
Quaic medical treatment, and en-
hanced social and ethical standards.
5. AZ least 80 per cent Of our pop
ulation are in. need Of medical adj
vice or treatment for minor or Sc
we're ills-thc habit Of thorough an
nual medical examinations would
prevent most Of this incapacitating,
poverty, and unhappiness producing
illness.
g. There are approximately l.
400, 600 deaths in the United States
every year Probably 30 per cent
are preventable or postponable with
known but as yet largely unusued
means

T. Cancer alone, n cause Of death
largely preventable by early exami-
nation and thorough scientific treat
ment, kills 10000 persons annually
in the United States.
8. Efforts at health conservation
in the United States have increased
the average length Of life during the
last century by Is years-a united
attack will still more strikingly in
crease the period Of service and hap
py existence for all of us.
9. To meet the needs Of the coun-
try adequately ,at least $4,000 pub
lic-health nurses are necessary. One
fifth o fthis number are available.
TO- Preventabe illness and death
are tremendous burdens upon indus
try and production, costing billions
yearly True conservation Of our
human resources will eliminate this,
the greatest factor Of waste in the
nations life.
a.. There are 100000 patients in
hospitals for mental disease in this
country In addition, there are
many cases Of serious mental malad-
jastmcnt that never reach hospitals.
About four persons in every 1000
are mentally defective, and about
65. 600 are admitted to hospitals
yearly Effective prevention and
treatment measures include popular
education concerning the causes Of
mental disease, legislation for ade-
quate hospitals, psychiairic clinics,
mental examinations for school chill

Will Feed Their
Grain Crops if
Prices Stay Low

5. G. Brown was here Saturday
from his farm twelve miles north Of
town, looking after the interest of
the maize growers Of his community,
who hope to obtain a large enough
price to justify threshing Of the en-
tire crop. Mr.. Brown told an Ava
lanche reporter that there was a
splendid yield Of this crop on every
farm in that community. and that
there would be very little Of Il

Abernathy Has
Shipped MANY
Cars of Wheat

Some idea of the rapid growth
Of the farming sections Of the
Plains can be drawn from the fact
that the grain dealers of Aberna-
thy have shipped more than one
hundred cars Of wheat from the
farms of that vicinity this year.
and there are a good many Of the
farmers who have not sold their
wheat yet, as there Is a Farmers
Union Mil there that has been in
operation which has consumed a
great amount Of the crop. The
wheat handled through this mill is
not included in the wheat shin
ments, and the farmers now have
some wheat on hand that viii be
made into flour for their use as
Il Is needed, which makes determin-
ing' the exact amount of wheat rais-
ed a difficulty.
The farmers OF the Abernathy
community are made up OF men
from places well known as wheat
section. and have found that
the same labor needed TO make a
crop IN those sections can be ex-
pended on the Abernathy lands just
as profitahly. These men are
aware Of the fact that more than
wheat can be raised on their farms.
and are not risking the market on
the one crop, as cotton. corn. maize,
Sudan. oats. and other crops do well
there. and hogs. poultry, cattle and
other livestock are raised Ia great
numbers.
