THE HERALD Sunday carried an
interesting article on George Nor
rison.
George Morrison lives near Mer-
eedes. His place is sJnsidered
model one here in Valley OF many
model places.
George Morrison is interested in
dairying. Believes, in fact, that
dairying, hog raising and citrus or
chards will, in time, be the principal
factors in the Valleys economic
life.
The Herald sent a staff CORES
pcndent to interview Mr.. Morrison.
Because The Herald is greatly in
terested in furthering the dairying
industry in this section.
The Herald believes with Mr.. Mor-
ris,n that dairying should be one
of the leading farm activities IN the
Valley.
First, the Valley counties must be
made tick free. This movement Is
now on. That TO throw as much
prctection about the milch cows and
other stock as possible.
WHEN THE FARMERS Of the VAL
lev have evidenced a real interest
n dairying, they will have no diff
Guilty in financing their undertake
inrs along this line.
They should start on modest
scale. Do as much as they can with
their own resources.
II they have demonstrated a rea-
sonable success in q small way, they
certainly will have no difficulty IL
Interesting their local bankers in
.rv endeavor to expand their opera
tions. 80,
From time 70 time The Herald will
carry articles on various dairying
undertakings.
In the Valley and at other points
a the state. t5r the purpose OF
chewing how the work is being car
-;.d On elsewhere, and under what
conditions.
The Valley climate is declared to
he superb for dairying.
The Valley should capitalize its
ys.ourcss along this line.
THEY ARE TALKING about
matching Brownsville and Abilene
..,te football champion, in a game
a. be played at Houston or San An
tonic. -,
One report has IL that $4,000 will
+. paid to each team for such q
game. .,,, .u.--
probably Abilene will be unwilling
!. .raanrer its state title By taking
:, /. game with Brownsville.
Ard another thing: Each team ts
lrown as "The Eagles" How are
,hev going to be matched in situa-
tion like that?
However, such a game should %
;,tsresting. And should pull a big
hoIidav crowd, IL it Is arranged for
the present week.
No doubt Brownsville will be will
10 20 participate in such n game.
a., Il takes two to make bargain.
"a Abilene may not be so very
anxious.
AND STILL ANOTHER interesting
.,orv in The Herald Sunday was the
