The article counsels fall and spring tree care using fish oil applications to protect trees from rabbits, urges local seed potato and corn planting to boost earnings, and warns that farming fails when people lack practical know how. It also notes a dubious earache cure and a Kansas schoolmaster’s odd incentive for study.
The Banner expands to a 32 column paper, the largest in the county and the sole English newspaper. It champions democracy in Austin, Washington and Burleson counties, supports immigration of industrious workers, and promotes state development and railroad expansion. Baxter, publisher in Brenham since 1853, reflects on growth from 300 to about 4000 residents and pledges continued local journalism and Democratic advocacy.
