The question is this: “Is there any
power vested In congress to place re-
strictions on newspapers in publishing
what is public news?” I say there
is none.
Otherwise the Revolution was a

tution was a solemn farce. They still «a MORAL CODE FOR

PLOW—KEEP PLOWING
'On Wednesday night and Thursday
morning of last week good rains fell
in the north and west parts of the
county, and a lighter precipitation in
other parts of the county brought re-
lief and aid to the crops. All crops
were in a fine state of cultivation,
for this has been a very favorable
year for keeping crops free of weeds
and grass. This is the season of the
year when most farmers “lay by”
their crops. However, the general
opinion prevailing among the best in-
formed and most practical farmers is
that most crops are “laid by” too soon.
This is especially true with respect
to cotton and other crops which do
not complete their stalk, vine, or weed
growth within a given period regard-
less of the seasons.
The late Dr. Knapp’s prescription
with regard to late plowing of cotton
and other crops in the above classes
has never been improved upon. He
believed in plowing late, rain or no
rain. His idea was to keep a dust
mulch in the rows, because a dust
mulch prevents the evaporation of the
moisture which rises from the subsoil
by capillary attraction, that is, like
water rises to all parts of a towel hav-
ing one end thereof immersed in the
fluid. Let us not make the mistake
of quitting the plow and laying by the
crops too soon. It comes to us that,
altho his section has not had even
the rain that ours has had, John Me-
Farlane, king of Texas cotton grow-
ers, down in Anderson county, says
that his prize cotton is not needing
rain. That’s because he has plowed
regularly and frequently and is so
continuing regardless of the absence
of rain. Another report, which we
have not been able to confirm, indi-
cates that Mr. McFarlane’s prize cot

mitted tomato belt of East Texas.
However, their efforts will go far
toward muddling the market, so to

GET THE RIGHT TRAINING
It is a regretable fact that an
amazingly large percentage of our
young people spend from ten to twelve
years of their lives—years of hard,
patient study—to acquire an educa-

6,153 FARMERS VISIT ONE EX-
PERIMENT STATION IN 1924
There may have been a time when
the progressive, live, wide-awake
farmer had little patience or sympa-
thy with the book fanner (so called),
and with the instrumentalities pro-
vided by the State and Nation for the
advancement of agriculture. But that
time has passed with all farmers—
does all this while you are still young.
The first step is to TRAIN for
business just as you would train for
any other profession. The Tyler Com-
mercial College can train you in just
a short time to accept and hold a po-
sition in Business. Business is a pro-
fession. In fact, business is a pro-
fession of many professions—adver-
tising managers, sales managers, of-
fice managers, salesmen, credit mana-
ger, accountants, secretaries, etc.
When you train for business you
will be better qualified than the uni-
except those who are mere “jacklegs” j yersity graduate with no specal bus-
at the business. For example, a re-
port of operations at the Lubbock
State Experiment Station shows that
during 1924 there were 6,153 visitors
as against 415 in 1916 and about the
same number for the three years
following. This increase of 1382 per
cent in 9 years, shows a steady
ton this year is much more promising growth in usefulness of the station,

thousands of times.

ANOTHER CHANGE DUE
IN POST OFFICE RULING
On and after August 1, 1925, all
insured or C. O. D. parcels will be
regarded as having return postage
guaranteed, and in case of non-deliv-
ery will be returned to the sender with
postage due rate for collection on de-
livery.
The present ruling on such
parcels requires thsit postage must
first be sent for the return of such
undelivered parcels. The new ruling
will save time in its method, and while
perhaps not many C. O. D. parcels
are ever returned, they create a lot of
extra work on the postoffices and
forces. . :

f» Yet, withal, there are people thru-
out these United States who are jeal-
ous of their constitutional rights, hut
nevertheless so minded and disposed
that they would destroy some of their
rights. There are some so far for-
getful of their religious rights that
they would force the Bible to be
taught (taught is the word we mean
| to use) in our public schools. We be-
lieve the Bible to be the Divine Reve-
lation of God to man, but, granting
that Man is his own free moral agent,
and aware that the Sacred Book
means one thing to Protestant Chris-
11 tians, another thing to Catholics and
quite a different thing to Jews, we be-
lieve that in the Home and the
Church schools are the places to teach
the Bible—surely so unless we could

School teachers would never put par-
ticular credal interpretations there-
Again, Tennessee, for example, has
placed a statutory ban upon the teach-

schools and institutions of higher

great impetus to the growth of that
very thing which the statute was
at to eradicate.

national weekly, Collier’s, is respon-
sible for this document and has it
copyrighted. Our understanding of
tne way it originated is that Collier’s
asked its readers thruout the country
to offer suggestions of what should
be incoporated in such a document.
People from a’l parts of the country
submitted drafts. Among the many
distinguished persons who submitted
drafts were Chief Justice Taft and
Dr. Charles W. Elliott, President
Emeritus of Harvard. Many others
from every walk of life submitted
drafts, among them men and women
of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
faith, and of other faiths. Collier’s,
is is said, combined into the draft
which we publish the best thoughts of
all. So this “Code” may be truly said
to be a composite of the best thought
of America. We trust our readers
will find its reproduction in our pa-
per of great value to them. The idea
of formulating the Code of Ethics was
suggested to Collier’s by the agitation
that has developed thruout the coun-
try with regard to having the Bible
read in our public schools. :
there is no better evidence that the
Experiment Stations are functioning
in a most efficient manner, than the
rapidly increasing number of farmers
who visit them. :

THE TOMATO GAME IN 1926
Will the year 1926 be a good year
for tomato growers? So far as sea-
sons and markets are concerned, no
one can tell. Neither can one tell
what blights and pests will come, nor
what the hazards of early cold will
be. Our idea is that the very care-
ful, experienced tomato grower can
figure on some profits from his oper-
ations. Even with the most favor-
able conditions of weather, the mea-
sure of his profits will depend on the
way the tomato game goes in Miss-
issippi and other trana- Mississippi
tomato areas.
These things are true: the Eaat
Texas tomato growers have had

there are many isolated instances
lit mast svsry wmmlty meager
profits, and some instances of down-
right losses. Moreover, reports have
gone out from the tomato shipping
points that are exaggerated aa to the
facts of this year’s productions, sales
and net profits. This means that
sections which have never pro-
ties will attempt to do so in 1926
It must be assumed that their lack cqui
of experience will prevent them from levl,
