Parcel Post Is
More Generally
Used by Farmers
IBy Associated Press

Washington, March 24.-Ship-
ments of fruits and vegetables in
great quantities by retail and whole
sale merchants to all sections of the
United States is steadily increasing,
according to reports made to General
Superintendent w. H. Riddell, of the
railway mail service.
AS an illustration of the use to
which the parcel post is being put by
merchants, it was asserted by Super
intendent Riddel that recently an en-
tire freight car was loaded with in
dividual cases of aspahargus and
shipped by parcel post rates. Each
parcel, however, conformed TO
weight regulations, and it would not
have been possible to ship the car
load as a bulk, it was explained.
Department officials said that
there appeared to be no reason why
sufficient numbers of crates to make
up a half car or carload, cannot be
shipped in the future as parcel post.
Parcels of a perishable nature, how
ever, which are likely to spoil with
in the time reasonably required for
transportation and delivery, will not,
it was said, be accepted for mailing.
The rates for parcel post matter de-
pend upon the zone to which shipped
and the weight of the package.

THE PROBLEM OF ROADS

The problem of getting better roads in this
country is vexing the minds of the authorities in
this section Just at this time. The need OF better
roads is recognized yet the way to secure the mon
ey for the betterment of the roads is yet to be de
ternined Tax and bonds is the only way that most
people know about and this would not be satisfac-
tory at this time The country is sparcey settled
and the tax would fall heavily upon only few
people. and we hardly think that Lubbock is ready
for road bond issue at this time. However, there
there should be some way worked out to improve
our roads They in awful condition at this
tine-that is in the main. Some stretches are
good but the greater amount OF the roads are in
a very bad condition. This is problem that the
Commissioners of our County will have to solve.

The Lubbock Trades Excursion which covered

increasing the interest Of the people OF the South
Plains in the Fair to be held at this place next

getting better acquainted with each other. The
people of this great South Plains should be as one
great big family and all pull for the development
of this section The needs are almost identical,
and the things that helps part of the South
Plains is going to benefit all other sections hence
the need of cooperation Silly town fights are OF
no value to any place, and the annual trades ex-

Lubbock has the highest school enrolment of

speaks well for our schools and with at the
head of the school with the brains OF NJ. NJ. Dupre,
and with the school interest he has. and ability to
bring to pass as he possesses, there is telling
lust what the educational developments will be in
Lubbock within the next five years Dupre has
secured thousands Of dollars of needed equipment
for the school here from the State at absolutely
no cost to the Lubbock Independent School Dis
rc and for that reason the school has been able to
make progress that other towns schools have not,
and hence the advantages schools hold over
that Of other cities that attracts many pupils here,
from the very threshold Of other schools, that are
supposed to be just as good better People

usually the place they try to send their children
Lubbock has the best schools the South Plains,

Lubbock has more Rural routes penetrating the

FARM BOY MAKES HIS CALF
GAIN 100 POUNDS A MONTH

Baby beef club members in almost
every part of the state are putting
the finishing touches on the calves
which they will enter in the first an
nual fat and feeding cattle show and
sale to be held at the Bourbon stock
yards, Louisville, November 23 and
"a, according to M. S. Garside, as
sistant state leader of junior agricul-
tural club work at the College of
Agriculture who has charge of this
project. Between now and the time
OF the show, the young feeders plan
to put $50 pounds more weight on
their calves.
Despite the fact that the baby beef
project is one of the new ones start
ed this year by the college club de-
partment for country boys and girls
Of the state, it has been highlyN pop
ular with the youngsters. Some of
the young feeders have been feeding
their calves since February and
March. AS a result OF the good feed
and care which has been given them,
a number Of the calves are showing
the qualities of prime baby beeyes
One Of these is owned by Ernest
Cobb, a member Of the club in Boyle
county. This calf has gained 100
pounds a months since Ernest began
feeding it in February and when IS
months old weighed 1,24O pounds.
Calves being fed by Trimble county
boys also have been making good
gains. These animals averaged about
$50 pounds each at the time they
were bought, but the boys hope to
make them average about $50 pounds
each before the show. Warren coun-
~ with S5 boys feeding calves

POOR FEED CUTS DOWN
WINTER CROP OF EGGS

Three-fourths of the hens on Ken
lucky farms would lay more eggs in
the winter II they were fed right ac-
cording to J. r. Smyth, poultry spe-
cialist Of the College of Agriculture
This has an important bearing on the
profits that farmers make from their
fiocks because eggs are higher in
price in the winter than they are az
other times of the year The flock
that produces a large number of eggs
during the coming four or FIVE
months win pay far more profit on a
yearly basis than one that yields the
largest number of eggs in the spring
and summer months.
Experiments that have been car.
riedN out on the college farm and
tests that have been made by farm
ers of the state show that some form
of animal protein, such as milk, meat
scrap or tankage, is necessary il
hens are to lay the most eggs in win
ter. II as much milk as a gallon a
day for every 30 hens can be had,
1t is necessary to feed a dry mash
containing this protein. A grain mix
ture made of 70 parts Of corn and 30
parts of oats or wheat should be CIV
en- along with the milk. It probably
will be best for farmers to use wheat
along with the corn this winter as
Kentucky oats this year turned out
to be of poor quality. Ground lime
stone also should be kept before the
hens at all times as this is needed
for making egg shells.
"On farms where milk cannot be
had, a dry mash made of 40 pounds
of cornmeal, 20 pounds of bran, 20
pounds of shorts and 20 pounds of
tankage that contains at least 60
per cent protein schould be used to
supply the protein. This mixture
should be kept before the hens at
all times and pound of the grain

II is a form of cowardice for an
editor to be afraid of himself.
A great editorial question today is i:
Shall the government governg
The biggest problem to most edi.
tors is how the expenses are to be
met.
The editor who thinks only of a
good time rarely ever amounts to so
much.
The editor who shirks is a auitter,
and the gutter is long time dead.
1t was preacher and not an edi.
tor who said. avoid debts as you
would the devil"
Isn't 1t strange that the things that
editors worry over most should wor-
ry them least?
The highest need of an editor of
today is courage that is fearless spir-
it of individuality.
The doctor advised the editor TO
walk more, so he visits three soft
drink joints instead of one.
The good successful editor makes
his readers know that gentleman is
writing for them.
The editor must make a name for
himself, as that is about the only way
to keep his wife from using her own.
The girl an editor should marry is
the one who does not make him feel
as IL he had to pretend when he is
with her.
Without some sound educational ed
itorials the newspaper field would
soon be oyerrun with thorns and
thistles.
One editor has it thus: What the
country needs is not a new birth of
freedom, but the old-fashioned birth
of common sense.
To have an opinion, take side argue
is the special privilege of an editor,
and none worthy of the name will
abuse the privilege.
One smart editor has said, "The
only cure for corruption is for you to
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-10-26
perform your plain duty to you,

perform your plain duty to your
county and your home"
There are hours of weary, unvary-
ing routine and often actual mental
suffering for the editor who is on the
wrong side of the issue.
It is the duty of an editor to do
everything he can to help the cause
of education in his community, in
the state and In the nation.

An editor was criticised for being
over-frank in his manner of express
sion. He replied, Truth wears no fig
leaf; everything is naked except by-
pocrisy."
All good editors have ideals and
most of them write toward their
ideals, gaining ground day by days
but all too often mans 'foot slips
and he does not progress as he
should.
