SINCE CREAMERIEs are being
built in East Texas and dairying is
being found to be so profitable. East
Texas is beginning to think largely
IN terms Of fine milk cattle. At
Marshall an association Of business
men Is being formed to help finance
the purchase of dairy cattle by Har-
rison county farmers. The chamber
Of commerce is back Of the move
ment, and the local banks have
agreed to loan the association what
ever money it may need. There is
good suggestion in that plan Of
kind that is likely to extend all over
the state.
At Atlanta the chamber OF com-
merce has agreed to offer a high
grade Jersey bull in each Of Is COM
munities OF the country to the farm
er in each community who makes the
most money Of five acres Of cotton
"a nice way Of encouraging the cot
ton growers to diversity.
THE EAST TEXAS Chamber Of
Commerce, which should be credited
with the increased interest in cream
cries and dairying in that part of the
state, has hurried TO assure coopera-
tion with the rest Of the state in
cotton acreage reduction In fact
- President r. NJ. Kelly Of Longview,
was talking acreage reduction and
diversification all last year ahead OF
any general movement. Here is a
typical KelIyism:
Last year East Texas followed
safe and sane policy of farming and
profited thereby. II would be sound
business for the banks to refuse
credit on the 1926 crop without as
surance of the borrower that a bal
anced farm program, contemplating
reasonable food and feed crop acre
age, would be carried out"
The TEMPLE Chamber Of Com
merce has decided that the city
commission was too modest in its
proposed bond issue submitted to
vote Of the people, and has asked
that body TO recall il, and submit a
bond issue Of $4,000, to include
new city hall on the public square
10 cost s1o0,00e, a SIS, 600 municipal
abattoir. $4,000 for parks, 100000
for paving Improvements. and S115,-
600 for school buildings.
Notice that the improvements pro-
posed are all Of a kind to help make
Temple a better city in which to
live.
YoAKUx Is not satisfied to lay
out work for an entire year, because
there is too much temptation to pro-
erastinate, but that thrifty town has
set for itself a six-months task,
some Of which is already being done.
There is the Yoakum- -Hochhein high
way, now being built; modern street
illumination, already contracted:
sewer extensions, soon to be started;
and $4,000 bond issue for street i'm
provements, 500 to be sold and to
which property owners will add
$4,000; and the building Of a mod
ern three-story brick and reinforced
concrete school building by St. JOS
eph's Catholic church, the plans for
which are about ready.
That looks like Yoakurn is making
good headway and is likely 70 Be
looking for something else to do be-
fore the six months have passed.
uAUrArr. cr-Crrrrrr
onions, that part Of Collin county
around Mckinney is now going in
for garlic growing fer the first time.
ard has contracted 10 supply a Dali
las concern with 10000 pounds Of
garlic at n good prise. That sounds
like lots Of garlic, but it is a safe
bet that Collin county will grow It
and deliver it according to contract.
WHILE A NUMBER of the old
counties in Texas are tearing down
the old and building new court
houses, Hutchinson county is going
20 build its courthouse at Stinnet on
a new plan and with a strength that
will serve that growing young county
a century or SO. The new building
will cost between 100000 and $780,
900.
One reason the new counties of
Texas build such large and substan-
tial courthouses is that the county
owning such a structure is not so
likely TO move its county seat to
new town that may spring I'D, out
grow and outvote the courthouse
town.
SAN ANGELO is usually amopr
the first Of the states young cities
TO be ready for any progressive
movement, and SO it has secured an
option on a tract Of land for an air
field. There will soon be regular
air service between Dallas and Fort
Worth and San Angelo.
PRACTICALLY without opposit;or
q bond issue Of 100000 has beer
voted for q hard-surface highwa,
from Kermit to the Ward county
Line, with the assurance that il i
20 be built on TO a connection with
the Bankhead highway on the Texas
Pacific.
