Phebe I K Warner describes the 1922 Short Course at A and M College focusing on country editors and farm writers. She argues state farm news is underrepresented in city papers, stressing farms as Texas wealth and urging balanced coverage of country and city events.
A Texas article reports Wilbarger County paid just over $11,000 in automobile taxes to the State Highway Department in 1925 while receiving aid allotments totaling about $265,000. The 1928 payments rose as vehicle ownership grew.
A discussion notes that Wilbarger County has already received highway aid and will gain future participation in aid distributions. Under the new law, automobile registration fees kept by the county must be spent on lateral roads, with Highway Department maintenance taking over highways. About $10,000 from last year will now fund nonhighway road work, suggesting county taxpayers have little to complain about in the law's effects.
A Texas A M College driven push for a School of Journalism highlights the role of the Agricultural Writers Association. The piece notes training 2,000 Texans yearly, research in animal husbandry and soils, and the county press as the channel to reach farmers. A class in Agricultural Journalism studies county weeklys for farm coverage, with eight students and one female student. The writers plan to present findings at a July writers conference and invite all editors to participate.
The Literary Societies of West Vernon express gratitude to Vernon businessmen who assisted in obtaining their curtain.
