Reklaw On The
jMarch 3 Days Early
The people of Reklaw believe
the March of Dimes cannot start
too soon. Supporting their con-
scientious campaign chairman, A.
M. Jordan, citizens are planning
a 42 party that will allow them
to buy a share in the future well-
Jjeing of some polio-strricken
child.
Neighbors in Rusk are invited
to drop in Friday evening January
*13, at 7:30.
Hybird Corn Giving
jBig Yield Increase
The use of corn hybirds in
Texas for the past eight years
has enabled farmers to produce
jmore corn per acre than was ever
possible with the common vai;?-
ties previously planted. The re-
sults from the 1949 corn test con-
ducted by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station at 17 widely
scattered locations show that
farmers may expect even greater
increases in yield from some of
>the newly developed hybrids, says
J. S. Rogers who is in charge of
corn investigations for the Sta-
tion-
^ The yellow hybrids showing the
greatest promise, continues Rog-
ers, are Texas 24, 26 and 28. Texas
11W is recommended for those
'farmers who prefer to plant white
corn. All of these hybrids show
a wide range of adaptability, and
will give good results in any area
)where the older hybrids are now
grown successfully. The tests this
year show that Texas 24, 26, and
28 may generally be expected to
^produce from five to 10 per cent
more corn than the hybrids now
available.
Texas 26 and 28 are particularly
• recommended for the Blackland
Prairie and the western corn-
growing regions of the state, says
Rogers. These two hybrids are
j^quite drought resistant, and will
outyield the other hybrids under
conditions of limited moisture.
Texas 28 and 20 produced the
highest yields in East Texas this
'year and are recommended for
that area.
Texas 28 appears to be the most
widely adapted of the new hy-
brids. It has produced outstanding
yields wherever tested- Texas 26
is the earliest of the new hybrids
and produces a large yellow-dent
>grain that resembles Texas 18.
Texas 24 is superior to all of the
, Texas hybrids in standing ability
and is recommended wherever
j lodging is a serious problem. Tex-
as 24 is also more resistant to
earworms and ear rots than the
other hybrids and should be plant-
ed where damage may result from
'such injury.
In making a choice of hybrids
'in 1950, Rogers suggests that
.farmers try these new Texas hy-
"brids. He says over 2,000 acres
of these hybrids were produced
by seed growers in 1949 and that
farmers should be able to secure
'seed if they will place their or-
ders early. He adds that these hy-
brids should be planted on good
. land and recommended fertilizer
Ipractices followed. Experimental
results have clearly shown that
hybrids will give a maximum re-
turn per acre when high yields
tare obtained-
The feature attraction will fol-
low the girls' game when mem-
bers of the high school faculty
and veterans of the Dialville GI
school take the floor. Members
of the faculty team, including the
reserve, are C. L. Langston, Wv J.
Moore, C. A. Beathard, Dan
Walker, C. C. Moore and Osalee
Durrett.
All proceeds from the game
will go to the March of Dimes, it
was announced by Superinten-
dent C. L. Langston. County
Chairman, O. M. Walker, com-
menting on the game, said it is
greatly appreciated as all con-
tributions will be, but pointed out
many people are going to have to
contribute much more than ten
cents to the March of Dimes if the
County reaches its quota. He said
the quota for Cherokee county
is thirty-five cents per capita.
Banks Announces
For County Supt.
Robert L. Banks, County School
Superintendent, has authorized
the Cherokeean to make the an-
nouncement that he is a candidate
for re-election to the office which
he now holds.
In connection with this annouce-
ment he released the following
statement:

Looks Like Tough
Year For Editors
The year 1950 looks like a
tough year for editors. At least
here's what this one was handed
Tuesday—the first day after the
holidays which he did not have
time to celebrate.
Tuesday noon he was installed
as president of the Kiwanis Club.
He felt that this was going to be
about the only outside job he
could handle so he would resign
as secretary-treasurer of the
Quarterback Club, which was to
meet Tuesday night. But first he
had to attend a meeting of the
officers of the Presbyterian
Church, and go to the Quarterback
meeting too late for the luncheon.
At the church meeting he was
elected secretary of the Board of
Deacons. He tendered his resigna-
tion at the Quarterback Club
meeting about thirty minutes
later, and the club voted to re-
ject it.
At the church meeting Mayor
Lewis McCarroll was elected
president of the Board of Deacons-
Perhaps it is going to be a hard
year for lots of folks.

Funeral services were conduct-
ed at one o'clock Monday after-
noon at Benton Bros. Funeral
Home for Lewis H. Reed, 74. Rev.
Lee C. Perry was in charge of the

in the Salem cemetery with Ben-
ton Bros, in charge of arrange-

He is survived by a daughter,
Mrs. Roy Ferguson, Jefferson,
Texas and a son, L. D. Reed of
Marshall. He is also survived by
four grandchildren, and the fol-
lowing nieces, Mrs. L. R. Hardy,
Mrs. Tom Penn, Mrs. Edgar
Banks, Mrs. Leona Jordan, anjl
Mrs. Lee Byers of Rusk.

VFW To Present
99
"It's A Date
Mrs. Edna B. Shalander has ar-
rived in Rusk to start work on
"It's A Date," which will be pre-
sented January 19-20 at the Rusk
high school auditorium for the
benefit of needy widows and
orphans
Mrs. Shalander comes to Rusk
highly recommended. She has
been interested in dramatics and
Little Theatre work. In addition
she has had special training on
this particular production.
When asked about the forth
coming production, Mrs. Shalan-
der said, "I am most enthusiastic
about the possibilitiies for an out-
standing show here in Rusk.
Everyone seems so friendly and*
cooperative, I am sure I shall en-
joy my stay here."
Mrs. Shalander met with mem-
bers of the VFW, sponsors of the
big event. Plans are being made
to start rehearsals at once.
"It's A Date" has the unquali-
fied recommendation of many-
other towns where it has been !
staged. The organization is confi-1
dent that it will be a worthy ad-
dition to the entertainment sea-
son.
Watch for further announce-
ments about those who have been
chosen to take part in "It's A
Date."
Says Chlordane Is
Cockroach Killer
The holidays are over for most
of us and now comes the job of j
cleaning up the house. Might as ]
well clean out the household in- i
sects while you are cleaning, and j
the one most common to Texas
is the cockroach.
The County Agent says that
here is the way to get the roaches.
Remove all foodstuffs, utensils,
etc., from cabinets and storage
closets. Wash these places with
soap and water to remove musty
roach odor, then spray with two
per cent chlordane. Be sure that
all cracks, crevices and base-
boards are thoroughly treated.
After the spray residue has
dried, don't wipe it off. Go ahead
and replace the food and utensils.
C. Metz Heald says a thorough
treatment will give control for
as long as six months.
NUMBER 27
Quarterbacks To
Hold Important
Meeting Tuesday
As Many Members
As Possible Urged
To Be Present
The Quarterback club, at a meet-
ing held Tuesday of this week,
voted to meet again next Tuesday
night Quinton's Restaurant, and
urged as many members as possi-
ble to be present. Because of con-
flicts in dates with other activi-
ties, ho meetings were held dur-
ing December.
Especially urged to be present
are all who sold tickets for the
Junior High-Allen Academy
' game who have not yet turned in
the money they received on tick-
ets sales. Payment for the junior
high uniforms is due and it is im-
portant that all outstanding cash
be made available at this time.
Members are advised that the
Tuesday meeting is not for the
purpose of raising money. No
funds will be asked from mem-
bers other than that mentioned
for sale of tickets. If it will be
impossible for any of those to be
present Tuesday, they are asked
to turn their reports in to the
treasurer at the Cherokean of-
fic, to Billie Edwards, president,
or to O. M. Walker.
Undefeated Dialville
Looks To Future
With a 42-27 win over Summer-
field Tuesday night, the Dialville
basketball boys cinched the first
half conference playoff by going
through the entire period un-
defeated in conference play. High
point man for Dialville wa J. C.
Tate with 13. Hall was top scorer
for Summerfield with eight

The Dialville boys are looking
forward to the annual "Little
State Tournament" which will be
held at Dialville January 25
through January 28. Twenty-six

ment, including many of the top
ranking boys' and girls' teams of
the state.
New Firm Presents
New Chevrolet Line
The new 1950 Chevrolet will be
shown in Rusk Saturday, as
throughout the country. The Rusk
announcement differs from the
others in that it is made over a
new firm name—the Lee-Mc-Car-
roll Chevrolet Company. However,
the new models carry numerous
changes, but the new partner-
ship is made up of the same men
who have managed Cherokee
Motors for over a dozen years. The
change in firm name merely in-
dicates that the interest of other
parties has been bought by J- E.
Lee and Lewis McCarroll.
Mr. Lee said there will be no
change in policies or manage-
ment arrangement, except for an
expansion program which was
started some months ago when
the firm opened the used car lot
and filling station facing on
Palestine street. He said plans
are to expand to operate com-
plete automobile facilities with
a service station as well as sales
and service departments.
Outstanding changes in the new
1950 Chevrolet the new Power-
glide transmission; a larger and
more powerful engine; body and
chassis improvements; Jet Car-
bureator; newly fashioned ex-
terior metal work and interior
trim.
Also presented for the first time
is the Bel-Air, a luxurious sin-
passenger coupe possessing the
swank of the convertible with the
practicality of the solid top. It has
forty per cent more rear window
space area than the conventional
coupe.
DOYLE BAGLEY OK AFTER
SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
Doyle Bagley, who was flown,
to New Orleans Tuesday night of
last week for the removal of a
chicken bone from his lungs, re-
turned home Saturday after a
successful operation.
He is now able to be about at-
tending to his business affairs.
