Monday evening at the American
Legion hall the old members and Of
ficials of the court house entertained
the new members, their families and
friends at dancing and cards. 1t was
very informal affair and was more
in the nature of get together party
than anything else. Over 200 were in
attendance. The hosts and hostesses
were. Commissioners England, Mill
er and Williams, Judge j. e. Good,
Judge Ralph Adair, F. M. Fisher, A.
H. Simmons, Mrs Margaret Ward,
Mrs. Grace Faulconer, Mrs. Grace
Stevens, Hamilton Wright, E. T. NAL
colin, and r. Weaver, and deputies d.
P. Brill, George Ezell, Ruth Hilliard,
Miss Anna Powell, Miss Lila Lilien-
quist, Miss Puma Pelkey, Miss Julia
Sutton and Miss Lexa Bentley.
The Barrier orchestra furnished the
music for the dancing. A very inter-
esting program was feature of the
evening, which consisted of Violin so
10 by R. A. Robbins, accompanied by
Miss Lorraine Seeger; reading by
Mrs. D. P. Brill; a short speech by
Col. Fugate Of Aberdeen. Several Sc
lections were given by the ladies who
furnished the music during the late
campaign, one of which was fare
we'll song to the three retiring offic-
ers and one a welcome to the new
officers, that brought the entire house
down. Joseph Adams OF Shelley gave
two vocal selections that were very
entertaining. The hall was artistic
ally decorated. tables were arranged
for cards in one corner, another was
fitted up as cozy corner and the
third one. was decorated with pines,
and represented the very latest in
stills" and from which the punch
was served. The barrel used for the
punch was one the retiring shriff had
confiscated in a raid some time ago.
Altogether the evening was very
pleasantly spent. >-. ~

HI. X. VILE WRITES
ON SMALL SEEDS
Continued from page II

in the past as it is now since the seed
growers of the state have formed
under which they already control a
good percentage of the seed produced
which helps very materially to stab
! ilize the seed markets, as the deal
ersall over the United States realize
| that the Marketing Company is finan-
cially able to carry this seed and will
market it as the market demands re-
quire and thus the grower is able to
receive for his seed every cent the
market will bring over and above the
actual handling charge.
AS 1 said before equality is the
thing that counts most in the cash
return" We have in our state an
organization, The State Seed Show
which will put on it's twelfth annual
show at Burley in January. This or
ganization has always stood high for
quality seeds. 1t has seen the indus
ent place of Importance among our
farm products and thru our annual
shows and personal work thruout the
state is largely responsible for the
present high quality of Idahos small
seeds. This is very forcibly brought
out thru records of our State Seed
Analyst, showing the gradual decrease
in the number of samples condemned
on account Of the number of noxious
weeds contained. This shows. that
the educational campaign we have
fostered during past years for better
and purer seeds is bringing ids re-
suits in better cash returns ito grow
ers, owing to higher purity of their
seeds. =:
All growers should attend this

from Cincinnati to Texas to take q
look at it and Mr.. Green sold it. He
then came down to Southwest Texas
to look at the Taft properties. He
has been here ever since. About that
time Mr.. Taft came into active con-
troll and Mr.. Green said the property
but that such development would take
a huge sum of money. Mr.. Taft, hav-
ing confidence in Mr.. Green's judg-
ment, promptly furnished the money
huge sum of it for that day and
time.
The Taft land stretches along the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass rail-
way from the station of Sinton TO
that of Gregory, and the railroad
towns, like Topsy, had Just growed"
and had neither accommodations nor
prospects. Mr.. Green started the new
town of Taft half way between Greg
DRY and Sinton. and then began the
experiment of making great and
prosperous farming country out of n
dreary waste of cactus and mesquite.
Streets were laid out and paved,
and electric lights put in, Il water
works system established, an ice plant
built, with telephone system, hos
pital, several cotton gins, q grain ele-
vator, church, school, a number Of
apartment and business houses and
horde of cottages for employees and
newcomers, and hotel. Later came
splendid high school building which
would do credit to any city.

were sold, came the division of the

ger does such things yet gives fellows
a start in life. Alh,he wants is a man
who will work and farm right.
But we want other millionaires TO
do what the money of Taft did, so ii
is proper to show that Taft proved
that farming can be made a business.
There is room for a lot of Tafts and
Greens in Southwest Texas, not only
room for them, but such smen are
needed more than anything else.
Call to mind the cheap price for
the land. the million dollars and a
half expended on il and then see
what happened, the facts being taken
from the auditors books. From, Janu-
airy 1, 1913. to December 81, 1922,
17.523 acres of land was sold Mt an
average price of $S3.31 per acre. On
January Z. 1923, there remained in
the Taft holdings 67,132 acres OF
which 5000 were in cultivation by
the Taft interests. and they IRE worth
quite considerable amount more than
Taft expended to put the country on
its feet. That is the same land that
for years sold for ten dollars per acre.

every trainload Of prospective farmers
stopped at Taft to see what bounte-
Gus riches lay beneath the harsh ex-
terror of a cactus and brush country.
What Are the Results?
Let us show the rich men and big
investors of America that there is
money in the development of south
western Texas farm lands on n large
scale, on that scale where million
and half dollars is invested in some
thing new in the. country, before
dollar of profit is returned. That is
the reason this article is written. To
bring this subject to the minds of big
investors, and TO their hearts. if they
wish TO see their state prosper and
help TO give opportunities 10 other
men less fortunate than themselves.
In 1900 there were 10000 acres
in the Taft ranch. The best price
obtainable for the best located land
then was $40 per acre. 1t was the
same price that had ruled for ten
years with no takers, and no develop
mefit. What was the result when
Taft under the direction of Green,
built a town, provided all the necessi-
ties of living and farming? What has
been the financial reslut? To begin
with, about 10000 acres of the land
is now owned by small farmers, every
one of whom is small" no more,
and there are number of instances
where employees of Taft twenty years
ago with Fifteen dollars per and
chuck" are the owners of splendid
improved farms worth hundred
thousand dollars or more. Green sold
,nem land on long time payments and
tney practically paid for their posses
sions each year out of part of the
crop. Mr.. Green, the general mana

put to work clearing land and putting
it into cultivation. Flows weighing
four tons were used in ripping out
tree trunks and blowing the ground
for the first time, and these big plows.
hauled by traction engines, were here
used for the first time in Texas. Now
the whole southwestern country is be-
