FORD AHJIOMA SLIP HATE NERUNEWl Great Fotare For Pecan Industry of appnr- ent indifference, Texan, or. al HUMHiaC-KOHSE. QUR NATIONAL SONG i American Legion recently, President Hud- tag to learn our national song, -The Star Spangled Kinder How man, of you know ItT Mo.t people know.the first few lines. Young people, commit it to memory. Oh, Bay, can you see by the dawn's early light.

What we so proudly hailed at the twilights last gleaming? hen broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight, er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket red glare, the bomb bursting In air Gave proof through the night that the flag was still there Oh. say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave OLH1 nlof ie home of the brave? On that shore, dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep. Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. -What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep. As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam.

In full glory reflected now shines on the stream. Tia the Star-Spangled Banner, oh! long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? And where is that band, who so vauntingly swore, That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed put their foul footstepfpoBution; No refuge could save the hireling and slave From terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? jQikjthus it ever, when freeman shall stand G.

At the present timt, Ulirl 7 are'Wmg ob tained and it is "Mr. Ford's in tention to place it in the hands of "farmers neetluvgX high -grade mtrogu'u fertilizer, selling it thru his dealers at a price representing cost of production.

i Farmers are well acquainted wTth iLe value of applying Cotton Seed and Cotton Seed Meal to their land. Some idea of the valueof Ford Ammonia Sulphate as a nitrogen carrier may be obtained by the fact that it takes 290 pounds of cottonseed meal, 10G0 pounds of ordinary fertilizer or 40000 pounds of good stable manure, to equal 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate in nitrogen content. Our most progressive fanners, merchants and bankers realize tlmt the, time is not fa distant when our farm lands, under the present system of crop growing, will be depleted of this life growing element of nitrogen. Even where, rotation is practiced the amount of nitrogen extracted is many times greater than that supplied by plowing under legumes, etc. While 'nothing will' supplant proper cultivation of the the use of Ammonium Sulphate together with any other elements the soil may need, will insure a continues maximum production.

Mr. Ford, himself a farmer until twenty one years of age, and conceded by all the fore most thin iter of tins age, is con stantly bending his energies and the vast resources at his command to better the farmers' economic condition and make life on the farm what he says it should be the most pleasant and profitable occupation in the Wold. instead of a drudgery. Mr. Hudson authorizes us to state that he has some free samples to those who will give this Jf tlltzera testTmmHhafrie-wiU oe glad to order and distribute car of same among Hood county farmers at actual cost of delivery, which is certainly a liberal proposition.

The encampment opened at Thorp Spring Jast Sunday with a large attendance, quite a num ber being present from Fort Worth, Stephenville and other places, while the attendance from bath lucal people and those from a distance is experted to increase each day.

The-big4hihg about the devel opment of the pecan industry in Texas is found in the that that more accurate and practical knowledge of the subject is being aquired. One thing that has'held the Industry back, and still a barier to many in the planting of pecans, is the false idea-that it will take from tifteoir twenty years for a tree to bear a profitable crop. This misinformation has-done more delay the topworking of trees and the setting out of orchards than any other single thing.

WnTrTllsafliMnhut-a-irtrTtT ded 01 topworked tree with Kood root svstem will boar a commercial crop within a period three to four years, and that young tfees set in orchard formation, if well taken care of, will often times bear a few nuts four, five "or six years and a commercial crop in ten more interest is manifested in pecans. A well kept orchard of pomns the right varieties is oftn worth $1,000 to $1,200 per arre. costs not to exceed $r)0 per acre to set out an orchard, and during the early years of the orchard, the land can be made to produce other crops. At least, the amount of labor per acre to keep the trees well cultivated is not great.ahd what other invest-ment can one make that will grow from $50 to $1,000 in ten years. It is confidently predicted that should interest be kept up, that in twenty years from now, the pecan crop will stand next cotton in value.

It may be that such an estimate comes from enthusiasts, but it is safe say that pecans will become roducers of millions of dollars those who will take advantage our soil and climatic eondi tions and plant them. No farm in Texas should be without pe can trees even though they may he planted in what one consider waste places. Fuming Education Those who are complaining about the frivoltiy of the young people of the present day, who deprecate their pursuit of pleas ure and their indifference to the serious things of life, forget or ignore the millions of boys and girls, young men and young women, all over the country are giving up large portions of what is universally recognized as their play time to the farther pursuit of education. And the fact that so many of them are doing this voluntarily, gladly, and even eagerly, irivo tjie lie to the oft repeated libl about the degeneracy of modern youth.
