Editor G. M. Haltom of the
Nacogdoches Sentinel, who is a
visitor to the city, says the farm-
ers of that county have taken up
the diversification idea with vigor
and more food crops will be rais-
ed this year than ever before,
from the present outlook for
yields. As an evidence of the
hold diversification has taken on
the people, he states that the
county has more than 3000 acres
planted in peanuts and that the
crop is thriving—in fact it is a
matter of common knowledge
that peanuts are a sure crop in
soil suited to their growth, and
there is none better adapted than
the red soil of Nacogdoches
county. Like the Texas hen, the
peanut is a mortgage lifter, and
under intelligent cultivation and
wise disposition of the crop a
never failing source of profit.
The three p’s—peanuts, peas and
potatoes—can be made financial
burden lifters for all the coun*
ties of East Texas under a prop-
er co operative marketing sys-
tem.—Houston Post.

The Champion is still here, has
been for many, many years and
will be for many yeais more to

is ready to take the lead in a
campaign for more business for
Center this fall than it has done.
Let’s get busy.
Governor Ferguson, in referr-
ing to the matter of legislation
for educational purposes, re-
marked that there was such a
thing as the country going “hog
wild” on a subject, but they did
go a long ways towards doing
something for the rural student.
Also among other things that
have been proposed for educa-
tional purposes is a resolution,
hoped that Texas will lead in the
movement_________
The appropriation bills passed to the front and the day is
by the recent Legislature for the
support of the various institu-
tions of the state, including the
educational, will reach near eigh
teen million dollars for the next
two years. This is a pretty large
sum of money to be expended for

purposes. It carries items, no

DOES CENTER WANT TO
DO BUSINESS THIS FALL?
It is not expected that there
will be any “big business” in
the general line here for the
next several months. There will
be business, special lines and
necessary lines, but the big sales
will be absent for awhile now.
This is expected in this coun-
try always and under any and all
circumstances. But the crop
prospects look fine for this time
of the year and it is said that
there could hardly anything hap
pen that would prevent the har-
vesting of a splendid feed crop,
for, it is said, there is such a
variety of feed stuff planted till
some of the crops will make in
spite of everything. The corn
yield gives good promise and
some contend that a good crop is
assured now. The cotton crop is
fine and while it is too early yet
to forecast cotton much it looks
as though we will have about as
much as usual. The acreage is
not so large but the crop has
been worked better and it will
make more per acre.
In the several years passed
Center has not done the business
that it should have done. This
is a frank statement, but it is
the truth. This has not been
for any reason that the public
has not liked Center and its mer-
chants; not because the Center
merchants do not carry the providing for the amending the
stocks or give the prices or pay
as good prices for cotton and
other country produce as do the!
other towns in the trade terri-
tory. We say it is not for any
reason like this. But there is a
reason, and that is, the Center
merchants, collectively, do not
solicit the trading public as
strongly as they should, at the
right time. That is, they have
not been doing it for the last
several years. The farmer plans
his crop months before planting
time and prepares for the plant-
ing. The ladies plan their
dresses before they make the
purchase of the goods and trim-
mings. The good business man
should plan for his season’s trade
before he purchases his goods
for that season. The Dallas fair
has been one of the most success
ful institutions ever organized in
this country. As soon as one
fair is over they begin a system*
aticlineof advertising for the
next fair. Right now they are
sending uut press notices telling tion was being held, and receiv-
about the wonderful fair they ed considerable encouragement,
are going to have this fall. Thus
it is that plans must be 1
ahead.
Center wants to do the biggest
business this fall that it has ever
done. It has the opportunity,
for its very location gives it
many advantages over any other
town in this section. But Cen
ter must get busy right now to
start that campaign. The busi-
ness men should begin telling the
prospective customer for the fall
trade what he is going to have
for him when he needs the goods
and let him know that the Cen-
ter merchants want him touring
for current running expenses
the Legislature wanted to know
something of how the affairs of
the system were conducted be-
fore appropriating that amount
information the Senate passed a bh°P-
resolution providing for a com-
higher education and too lit- mittee of five members of the
tion but the latter is being push- of the affairs of this institution
