Wildlife As A Crop In East Texas Wood County
Wildlife on farms in East Texas is worth about $140.81 in food for the farmer and family. Insectivorous birds help by eating crop-damaging insects, while squirrels are a major resource in many areas. The Wood County survey reports an average 154 squirrels per family annually, worth $53 at 35 cents each, plus 153 pounds of fish valued at $30. Rabbits, opossums, ducks and quail plus preserves contribute further. Some farmers own hogs feeding on acorn mast, and timber use adds income. An evergreen spineless cactus with red fruit filled a $1,000 decoration contract for the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show. One Gilmer-area farmer earned $17-$25 per acre annually from a six-acre lake, charging 50 cents daily.

The Jelly Bean Sermon On Immorality And Reform
A 1921 Dallas sermon by Dr. Phares condemns immodesty and sensuality, likening modern vice to a street full of chickens and roosters. He urges revival through gospel truth, condemns laughter as a tool of sin, and calls for courage from preachers to broadcast the still small voice of God.
