JANUARY TO BE
. CAMPAIGN TIME
To Tell Story of State Of
Washington to 10,
100000 Citizens
January is Washington Month.

January is Washington Month.
During January we want to tell the
story of the state of Washington to
1l0,000,000 citizens Of the United
States. ags re. a- 90 ..:
This is a state wide movement and
although it is handled by state conf
mittee it is our own local commit
tees that must boast our locality and
not let some Of the advantages of our
town suffer from the lack Of adver-
tising when such an opportunity pre-
sents itself. noa
The Washington Month Publicity
Campaign is a united effort on the
part of every section in the state to
advertise Washington during the
month of January. The campaign was
suggested by the officials Of the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Burlington railroads as a method
whereby the state could tie in with
the natioal advertising campaign be-
ing conducted by them.
The campaign has three detectives
interesting settlers, inviting tour
lists and setting forth the advantages
for possible investment in the state.
The entire campaign is being super
vised by state executive committee
of eighteen members, subdivided into
two committees of nine members each,
one committee responsible for the or
ganization Of the eastern Washington
and the other responsible for the
western Washington sections. Each
director or member of the state COM
mittee has been assigned certain
counties and is responsible for the
organization work in his district.
The campaign will be success If
every community carries out its spe-
cific part Of the program. The re-
suits will depend entirely upon the
interest shown by everyone in the
state. Your community will benefit in
proportion to the amount of work
done. Let nothing stand in the way
of your community in making this
campaign beneficial.
Every piece of mail leaving Wash
ington during the month Of January
should contain some interesting en-
closure descriptive of the state.
The state committee will distribut,
100000 four-page two-color inserts
with front and back covers printed
Each Chamber of Commerce viii
print its own story on the remaining
two pages. A committee is busy righ
, now compiling facts that will be use'
on this insert so that no time will b
lost in printing them after they hav
been delivered by the state COMMITTEES
The local Commercial club is a
> work preparing data advertising ou
district and will have it ready 70

' is particularly anxious to have YOUl
friends hear more about our countr
and ask that YOU send in the name
of three to five of your neighbor

mailed to them. Will you fill ou

f.ct that they are going to be here

giving their audiences real treat
with every play, is enough to as
.rro nc that we will not be dissap-
no;nted when we attend the plays.
A clipping received by the Business
Girls from the Ogden Standard Ex-
.m;ner states that the Ogden people
were delighted with the performance
of "You and T. as portrayed by the
Moroui Olson Players. The writer
stated that he has seen all the plays
thus far presented by this company
in Ogden and his admiration is be-
yond expression. each one was pre-
sented as though that one play was
the only play in the world and the
Moroni Olson Players were deter
mined to make play goers believe
they were the actors best fitted to
portray the characters" AS conse-
quence each new play draws larger
and more enthusiastic audiences.
The play 'You and I" is the ninth
Of the Harvard prize plays and was
chosen in 1922 in close competition
from the work of over so students
past and present, of Harvard. The
theme centers about the life OF
man, his wife and their son. The
man had married young and conse
. quently found it necessary to give uI
the career of an artist and make
living for his family as any ordinar!
individual does. The opportunity Y
given him, when his SON is grown, t.
60 back and take up his life as N
left it in his youth. What he doe!
forms an intensely human and inter
esting story. The name was chosel
because as we watch it, it might cas-
ily be You and / for the question
arises at some time in every marrie'
persons mind as to just what the.
might have been had they chosen tn
career instead of matrimony. Wove
throughout is delightful humor a

Moroni Olson Players are capable Q
giving their audiences. The solutio
Of the problem seems to be, "try t

school, where it was learned that the
girl had not reported that morning.
Officers found the couple i'll Al

THE CALCIUM ARSENATE
SITUATION.

Fearing that some may have good
reasons to criticise the writer Tor not
buying a quantity OF calcium arsenate
from the State Board of Entomology
we would like to explain that already
the three banks in Dawson have each
bought a car of poison and also a local
dealer has bought car.
We have also been indirectly in
formed that ? cars have already been
bought by a group Of farmers in and
around Sasser, making cars that we
know will be accessible to farmers OF
Terrell County.
We have been informed by the au-
thorities of one bank that the price OF
the poison will be SC per pound on i'm
mediate purchases, and the same price
is being quoted by the dealer.
Even though the county will use 3
cars. that amount will give us good
start. and with the peddler cars that
will be operated by the state board OF
entomology, we feel that the situation
is well in hand and we are ready to be-
gin one of the most thorough fights
against the boil weevil that has ever
been staged since the invasion of this
pest.
Terrell county must produce a good
crop Of cotton,a and produce it at pro-
fit. it has been clearly pointed out that
the best yields cannot be had unless
busting is done thoroughly and sys-
tematically. There is no doubt about
our producing a good cotton crop il
we will all pull together to that end.

Farm News and Suggestions
A. E. GIBSON. County Agent.

of farmers in the county who Will take
the necessary interest to plant good
" number more acres than we have
at present.
Some say they cannot afford to wait
three years to get revenue, and we
agree with them. There is no need to
wait three years, but on the other hand
a fair crop can be cut one year from
setting the crowns if plenty of fertilizer
is used, and the most up-to-date me-
thods of culture are practiced. Mr.. Ed
of culture are practiced. Mr.Ed Brim
Brim sowed an acre in asparagus seed
two years ago, planting the crowns last
winter and he has cut enough this sea-
son to more than pay for all he has put
into the sixteen acres that he planted
from the one acre of crowns. He in
formed us last week that his revenue
from this sixteen acres had Melted him
more than $500 per acre and he has
not injured his crowns i'll the least.
What Mr. Brim has done, we feel
that there are others that can do also,
and we are very anxious to make this
county the banner asparagus county
in the state.
We will be glad to assist in ordering
seed on a cooperative plan, which if
done, would result in a great saving to
all.

ASPARAGUS.

There is approximately 225 acres in
growing asparagus in Terrell county
with the possibility OF hundred or so
pounds Of seed to be planted this
spring. We have DEVOTED much
thought to asparagus during the short
time we have been working in this
county, and this thought and investi-
cation has caused us to have firm
conviction that this county should
grow five thousand acres in asparagus
instead of the two hundred twenty
We are informed by the marketing au-
thorities that work for the marketing
department of the State and I. s. de-
partment of agriculture that this sec
ton does not, and never will have any
serious competition in growing aspara-
gus, and that California will be glad
to confine her shipments to the west
ern side of the Mississippi river il we
stay out OF that territory. This sec
ton is just about as far south as the
climate will permit OF the growing OF
asparagus, due to the mild winters
failing to thoroughly kill down the
stalks, and yet we can put tips on the
market earlier than our neighbors
further up the country.
We would not urge every farmer in
the county to plant asparagus. Every
body will not make a success with as
paragus, neither will they make a sue
cess growing strawberries, watermel-
ons, poultry, or any other farm crops,
but we do feel that there are plenty

Local Nine Beat Sasser and Lose to
Leesburg Team.
One victory and one defeat was
the way the official baseball schedule
OF the Dawson high school opened
with a double header at the ball
grounds Friday afternoon.
The first game was played with
Leesburg, and was won by the visitors
by the score of E to l. The game was
hard fought throughout the nine in
nngs with the Lee county boys al
ways little ahead. Bridges was on

The second game, which ran only
six innings, was with Sasser and that
nine went down in defeat by the score
OF 4 to O. Littleton, pitching for the
locals, was in good form, and the Wis
ting bunch had hard time hitting
the horsehide which Littleton pitched
across the platter Bolton worked be-

have done credit to town many times
its size.
Montezuma won the iIrst prize for
the best float.
