WHERE ARE WE
HEADED?

From all around the country in the
most progressive communities, the
fact that the war Is over Is being inn
pressed on the public mind in the
reduction Of official salaries and the
adjustment OF useless Offices. Papers
received by the George Bryan family
from their old Iowa home tell Of ex-
penses cut in half by this pruning
process. Even in one Of the populous
counties of Idaho, down In Twin Falls
county, one public functionary was
found willing and anxious In the in
terest Of the general welfare to take
upon himself the duties Of half a dog
en- public Offices OIL the salary of one
Of them only. SO far as the record
shows he Is still long way from
being overworked.
But alas! such reforms come not
to US here at home. Very few Of our
sinecures have given over their jobs
because the taxpayers have not de-
handed they let 40. The tax eaters
hold on like grim death, no matter
whether or not they do a single thing
To earn what they eat. Result, we are
taxed 70 death, with the same fate
awaiting US as community that over
took the Salmon creamery the other
day, which with the same sort Of ex-
travagant management for only the
short period Of n year or 30 passed
into the hands Of n receiver from
being run nj one time as q profitable
enterprise.

FARMER OR SOUND /.
BUSINESS MAN.

Representative John w, Shook was
in Salmon from his ranch home seeing
what he could see and hearing what he
could hear about the senatorial candi-
dates this year. His fellow citizens
have all along considered Shocks in
the running himself. He is a farmer
and during his terms in the house at
Boise has fairly represented the farm
ers In his constant efforts against the
taxeaters who crowd around the polit-
ical pie counter in all seasons. Shocks
In going to make the shedding pretty
rapid for anybody now in sight to run
with him in the primaries in his own
party, while II will be up to the dem-
ocrats 10 pick their man to beat him
in the election. A farmer or a sound
business man is the demand for the
senatorship, according TO the word
passed all along the line.

TEXAS IS FAST BECOMING GREAT
EST TURKEY RAISING STATE IN THE
SOUTHWEST, SAYS EXPERT OF A. &M

idly dropping out as turkey pro-
ducing state.
All indications clearly point 90
this fact that Texas soon viii be
called on TO produce the majority
Of the national bird, the turkey.
Nearly all the people in the United
States want turkey for Thanks
giving and Christmas dinner; and
Texas farmers are SO fortunately
situated that they can grow these
birds at great profit.
Recently | made a trip up ana
down the Santa Fe, from Temple
10 San Angelo. Talk about a tur-
key country, a more ideal location
for raising turkeys cannot be found
any where in the world. Conditions
are simply ideal for the growing
Of turkeys.
The land both rolling and flat. a
big portion Of il sandy loan, ideal
for raising turkeys. The climate,
dry and moderate. The west dcws
are uncommon, and in other sec
tions of the State a serious draw,
back to turkey raising. The feed
grown is the very kind the turkeys
thrive and do well on, like the
grain sorghum and corn
In Goldwaite, Mullin, Brentwood,
Bangs, San Saba. and other towns,
recently visited, the opportuni-
ties of making money raising tur-
keys, are unlimited and unbeliey-
able. A turkey in this country is
wonderful investment.
II is true that TO some extent
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-03-03

My travels this fall throughout
Texas, especially Southwest and
West Texas, clearly convinced me
that the Lone Star State soon VIII
have 10 shoulder the turkey crop
for the entire United States.
In the Eastern States the dread
ed turkey disease black head has
almost entirely discouraged the rails
ing Of turkeys. This disease APP
pears common and very fatal where
turkeys are kept on more or less
crowded and congested yards. The
production Of turkeys in the east
ern states is decreasing at an alarm
ing rate. Conditions are continual
ly getting worse.
In the middle western states tur-
keys are decreasing rapidly because
of the increased density of the
farm population. The agriculture
land is exceedingly rapidly being
cut up into small farms. This
means a death blow TO the turkey
industry. Turkeys cause trouble
among small farm farmers be-
cause of their rowing habit.
Statistics show that if the tur-
key industry decreases as much in
the other states as in the past, that
ten years from today, Texas will
have to produce more than fifty
per cent Of all the turkeys in the
United States.
The last census shows Texas not
emily the leading State, but produc-
ing more than three times as many
ms any other State. Missouri, is rap

some few people have awakened TO
the great opportunities Of raising
turkeys. Sometimes, though, when
talk with many of these people,
many are dishcartened because Of
the drouth. I can not understand
why they keep on apparently asleep
and half dazed, sleeping on their
rights. Why don't they wake up
and grasp the opportunity knocking
at their door.
Turkeys can and will MAKE every
farmer In the great Southwest and
West Texas independent. All that
is necessary for them 20 do Is TO
cease worrying about the drouths,
more Of which are sure TO follow;
and raise turkeys. Turkeys will
thrive in dry weather. and can do
with less water than any kind of
live stock The turkey IS certainly
the golden goose" of West TEXAS.
In many parts of West Texas,
the wild turkey, is still common and
are hunted. Not long ago | saw
several flocks Of wild turkeys a few
miles from Kerrville, Texas. They
are found in flocks in the vicinity
Of Junction City and Fredericks-
burg, Texas. Wild turkeys, in that
section sometimes 20 10 roosting
with the domesticated turkeys |
have seen tame turkeys go UNDER
meath trains while unloading at the
smaller towns. A better turkey
country you cannot find Who're
wild turkeys grow, the domesticated
turkey can be grown in large flocks
at almost fabulous profits.
In some Of the smaller towns, the
people have learned to know what
the turkey means to them, because
they have stood between them and
starvation Only a few days ago at
Mullin, Texas. the farmers we're
bringing in turkeys IN great big
wagons, waiting their turn 90 un-
load them. Most Of these were
shipped TO dressing points. Some
were picked, and the feathers were
flowing over the entire town.
do not believe there IS "A thing
our West Texas farmers can raise
that is more profitable than tur-
keys. Turkeys are safe invest
NUM- hNtlA year
One farmer, operating a 100000
600 farm told me that he invested
$500 in turkeys, and made more
clear profit from his turkey invest
ment than his entire farm.
One farmer told me he had 500
head Of sheep, he would be willing
TO trade for 500 head Of turkeys.
A farmer near Goldwaite sold 20
turkeys for Sl2700 on the com
mon market at regular market
price.
Many turkeys brought from five
to six dollars each on the market,
and some netted more than $1,000.
There is more clear money 10 be
made raising turkeys in West Texas
than out Of any other line Of farm
ing.
One produce house in Brentwood
last year bought over $500 0J0.OO
worth Of turkeys. Remember that
means bringing in money from the
East and North.
In the small town Of Mullins, two
firms are buying turkeys, and in
one day Of this week, one Of these
firms paid 20 the farmers over
