More Than 75,000 Growers in
Western States Market Staple
the New Way ,
DALLAS, Tex., March. 6.—More 1
than 75,000 coton growers in Texas ;
Oklahoma, Arizona and Arkansas
now market thei r products through
cooperative organizations, according
to reports from these organizations
made public.
Texas the Farm Bureau Cattle
Growers association numbers 20,000
members; in Oklahoma, the Okla
homa Cotton Growers have a mem
bership of 36,006; in Arizona there
are 12,000 and in Arkansas more
than 7,000.
L. F. McKay, educational director
of the American Cotton Growers Ex
change states that the cotton belong
ing to these members are placed in
warehouses and the grower is ad
vanced money to the amount of 60
per cent of the value of his crop at
the first of the year. After this the
cotton is pooled and sold in an order
ly manner, preserving an average
price for the year.
However co-operative movement I
appears to have made great head- I
way in other agricultural lines in
Texas, the Melon growers exchange
numbering 43 local organizations
while the Sweet Potatoe Growers
number 796 members in 18 counties.
The Wool and Mohair fermers have
organized what is known as the
Southwestern Farm Bureau Wool and
Mohair association with 540 sheep
and goat raisers. This association
handled 1,300,000 pounds of wool
last season according to its secre
tary’s report.
All of these associations claim as
their object the orderly selling of
their product in order to keep the
market steady.
The Texas Wheat Growers asocia
tion, organized early in 1922 had a
membership of more than 1000 mem- |
bers in 25 counties in Texas and in I
January was reported to be growing
at the rate of 50 per cent a week.
Other cooperative asociations with
smaller memberships now operating '
in this state are the Texas Hay as-I
rociation, wiih GOO members; the j
Texas-New Mexico Alfalfa Growers
a: sociation, the Texas Farm Bureau
Onion Growers association and the
Texas Cattle Raisers and Producers |
association.

ARMY CADILLAC GONE;
FAMILIAR SIGHT HERE
The old Army Cadillac which has
been ope of the most familiar con
nections with Souther Field will
be seen on the streets of Americus j
no more. This will probably convey
to the reader the impression' that
at last, Southern Field is really to be
closed. Almost daily the question is i
asked of the army people if the field 1
is to be maintained for flying, if it to H
be sold, and countless other questions j >
that record their interest. Orders 1
were received by the Cadillac weeks ’
ago to proceed to Belleville, 111. Scott >
Field balloon school for duty. The
shortage of railroad facilities at the ■
present time delayed the executing of ;
orders until yesterday, when with i
many a groan and squeak the old
Cadillac was finally loaded for ship- -
ment. . '
That the Cadillac, battle worn and
scarred as any fighter who flew over 1
the lines in the great world conflict,
is still capable of groaning and 1
squeaking, is a most remarkable fact.
Its duty during the station at the
flying field here has been for official
service.
This wil raise the question in many
minds just what is official business
with an army Cadillac. There has
| already been a ruling that for Army
.folks to return calls or perform so
| cial obligations is actually official.
How far does that ruling go a young
woman recently asked—of the Com
manding Officer. It is official to take
a young woman to a dance in the
Cadillac? A reminiscent smile from
the officer indicated it would depend ’
entirely upon who the young woman l
was. [
‘ls it official for an an officer”s wife 1
to be driven to church Sunday morn- j
mg was another question raised. j
Silence on the part of the officer I
questioned, indicated it was much |
more official fpr him to drive to the I
golf course Sunday morning or to ,
go into town for a bunch of Sunday 1
papers and some smoking tobacco.
‘'.ls it official for the army women
to attend parties or go shopping in
| the Cadillac,” som§ have wondered
“Yes, most asuredly, if the other
' cars were not running whjch they sel
| dom were. Al. oif the officers ol the
field had a pet diversion for hammer
ing on their own cars in the garage,.
' there by practically disabling them
■ most of the time.
“Is it ever offeial, last, but not
least, many people ask, for an officer
to take the one of his choice riding on
■ a fine moonlight night?” The of
| ficer will tell you yes, directly.
The Cadillac has served the army
I people well, always answering the
call of distress when other means of
transportation have failed,
j-’ And as a reward for its faithful
ne;s and service it will probably re
i ceive a warm reception, perhaps even
a few more bars or marks of dis
tinction? when it is met and lecog
‘ nized by Ma jor Earl Schofield and
his family who are now living at
I Scott Field, to which place the old
Cadillac has linked its future des
i tines.

| panels at one or both sides, and the
drapery gathered into a large chou,
is popular for spring, in spite of its
winter vogue. It is particularly
adapted to satins and crepes.
MOVING BLUEBERRY
PATCH TO HILLSIDE
Lawson Stapleton Will Renew Ex
periment With Berries In
Higher Ground
Between four and five hundred
blueberry shrubs brought here a year
or so ago from Florida by Lawson
Stapleton and planted in bottom land
in Brooklyn Heights have recently
been transplanted into higher land,
where he* anticipates greatest success
in cultivation of this luscious fruit.
The cultivation of blue berries in
Sumter county is now in »Le experi
mental stage, though the crop prom
ises to become one of commercial
value within a few years. W. J.
Josey.and a number of others besides
Stapleton have planted, numbers of
the shrubs, and it is estimated there
are now more than two thousand of
these scattered throughout Sumter
county.
The berries, which are said to be
highly prized by thousands for their
delicate flavor, grow lururiantly in
Florida on the poorest kind of soil,
and sell readily at good prices in
northern an deastern cities, as well as
in Jacksonville, Atlanta and Birming-"
ham, where shipments are made reu
larly by Florda growers.
Your cut glass will be clear and
sparkling if you add a little bluing
to the suds in which you wash it.
