BAD CHECKS AND DEAD

A good percentage OF these

II a man has the sense OF @

cannot spend more money than

give so many checks that he gets
them back.
The average Amarillo business
man is lacking in backbone. II
a bad check Is given him, he
makes an effort to collect it.
Prosecution is the last thing that
he will do as he is fearful OF losing
a customer. II all firms would
follow the same ironclad rule OF
making the checks be backed up

square by making every man give
a good check and keeping his bills

BASEBALL AND ALL SPORTS
COSTING TOO MUCH.

Sporting news is forming too
large a percentage OF the Ameri-
can newspaper. especially OF tele-
graph news. The COS, OF present.
ing the sporting news is entirely
out OF proportion compared with
the actual value and the American
newspaper must call halt some
time.
Newspapers are as much 10
blame Tor this condition as the
public. Many papers have gone
wild about circulation, especially
the metropolitan press. They
have not only presented the sport
ing news. but they have created
a demand Tor i, by printing prop.
uganda in an effort to gain sub.
scribers.
For instance, you can look
through the Fort Worth papers.
When Fort Worth is a, home. you
will actually find a one column,
two inch ad informing the people
that there is a baseball game. Bus
why should baseball pay for any
more when it can get the advance
publicity for nothing. The Fort
Worth newspapers are carrying
columns OF material boosting the
Cats.
Fort Worth is no different from
hundreds OF other cities. Instead
OF the newspapers realizing tina,
sports offer an opportunity for
the development OF real accounts
as the theaters. they have been
carried away with the idea OF be
licving that hundreds and thou
sands OF persons will subscribs
for the papers instead.
A few years ago the newspa-
per trade journals were filled
with heated discussions OF meth
DDS to offset the demand o.
heaters for too many readers
Theaters have been educated Il

Selling Hogs and Buying Pork Is
Not a Profitable Practice
for Farmers.
DIFFERENT WAYS OF CURING
Young Animals From 8 to IL Months
Old Are Best for Furnishing Home
Meat sUppIy--Avoid Danger
Of Disease.

prepared by theGUnited States Department
OF Agriculture)
Every farmer can well produce the
pork and pork products which are con-
sumed on his farm, for selling hogs
and buying pork involves profits, but
not to the farmer engaged in the prac-
tice. This point is brought out in
Farmers Bulletin 1856, published by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, which tells how hogs should
be killed and describes different meth
DDS of curing and canning pork on the
farm. Highly nutritious and palatable
pork products for home use are easily
made, says the bulletin. Pork can
be cured and canned in a number of
ways and the variety of products af-
fords a supplement to the daily meals.
Young Hogs Yield Best Meat.
A hog of medium condition, gain
ing rapidly in weight, yields the best
quality of meat. A reasonable amount
of fat gives juiciness and flavor to the
meat. 1ut large amounts of fat are
Objectionable. Smooth, even, and
deeply feshed hogs yield nicely-mar-
bled meats The meat of old hogs
will be improved if they are properly
fattened before slaughter, but young
hogs from eight to twelve months old
are best for furnishing the home meat
supply.
The bulletin emphasizes especially
the importance of selecting only
healthy hogs for slaughter and of
thoroughly cooking all pork products
used for food.
Even if the hog has been properly
fed and carries a prime finish, the

A number of department representa-
tives took part in the program of the
show and gave information to the Wis
itors concerning the educational exhib
it. They reported an extraordinary
interest on the part of the public and
various poultry breeders in the La
mona breed, many persons desiring to
obtain breeding birds. The depart
ment believes it necessary to perfect
them still more as regards certain
characteristics, and it is not likely that
any will be for sale during the coming
year.

INCUBATION OF SOY BEANS
When Sown on Land Not Previously

Natural incubation now occurs
quite generally throughout much Of
the area where soy beans are grown

to inoculate with the proper culture.
incubation may be obtained. either
through the use OF pure culture, a

Variety in rations is one of the most
important things connected with good
feeding. Sometimes even a faulty ra-
ton will give fair results because Of
the variety that enters into it.
Don't expect the fowls to find grit
for themselves. No matter how much
range they may have it is best to keep
grit. charcoal, oyster shells, ETC., con-
stantly before them.
Accumulated moisture in the poultry
house and an Overcrowded condition
are directly responsible for the colds

the binds. causing them to easily sue

RIGHT TIME TO PLANT CORN
In Central Corn Belt Seed Planted In
April 10 Slow in Coming Up and
10 Not Hardy.

There is a right time to plant corn,
and usually the better farmers wheth-
er they figure by the calendar, by the
size OF oak leaves, or by the phases
Of the moon. In every neighbOrhood
know when that right time comes.
1t is suggested, however. that more
corn Ii planted too early than too late.
Corn Is hot weather plant. In the
central corn belt the seed that Is
planted in April is usually slow In
coming up and less hardy than the
seed planted about the middle of May.
The distribution of rainfall affects the
yield, and this varies from season to
season, but the corn experts say, and
this theory Is verified by common ex-
perience, that the best yields and most
rapid growth may be expected from
the medium planting dates.

GRADING EGGS is ESSENTIAL
Uneraded, Unstandardized Product 10
More or Less Of an Uncertain
Quantity.

When pullets begin laying, their eggs
are not up to standard weight. There
fore, grading eggs is essential, not only
from the producers standpoint but
from the buyers, for an ungraded, un-
standardized egg is more or less Of
an uncertain quantity. The market
ing Of such product is never advised
since it puts an unnecessary handicap
on the buyer who never knows what
quality he will receive. The buyer in
order to protect himself against loss
must pay CORRESPONDENCE low price.
