FIREMEN MAKE
TWO. RUNS WED.
AFTERNOON
Firemen were on the jump
Wednesday afternoon.
Around 1:30 o’clock on that
date the Paducah Volunteer Fire
Department made a run to the
John Brown home, weeds and
grass ignited from a trash fire
threatened to get out of control.
No damage was reported. Fire-
men are thinking about adding
Mrs. Brown to the fire-fighting
brigade, as she did an excellent
job with her broom in fighting
the blaze before firemen ar-
rived on the scene.
Approximately thirty minutes
after the grass fire another run
was made by the fireboys to
extinguish one of Charlie
Holder’s gasoline trucks, which
became ignited in the process
of loading. Henry Bartee, driv-
er of the truck, believes a spark
originating from the process of
placing the cap on the tank
caused the blaze.
The upholstering and wiring
on the truck was destroyed, and
of course the load of gasoline
was lost.
Firemen are to be praised for
their quick action and the
manner in which they brought
the blaze under control.
In order to show his apprecia-
tion, Mr. Holder purchased a
new fog and straight-water
nozzle and presented it to the
fire department. This type of
nozzle was used in extinguish-
ing the burning gasoline.
Richard Archer, Texaco Dealer,
also made a $15.00 donation to
the fire department, “stating he
felt the efforts of the fireboys,
helped save his property from
the blaze.”

FLOUR MILLS
RAP QUALITY
OF WHEAT
County Agent, G. J. Lane, a
few days ago received the fol-
lowing letter from Mr. Frederic
T. Dines, of the Tex-O-Kan Flour
Mills Company, Amarillo, Texas,
in regard to the growing of a
better quality of wheat.
“I am writing this letter to
you to bring out a few impor-
tant points in regard to the
quality of Texas Panhandle
wheat from the 1947 harvest.
“Preharvest surveys shows
that the North Plains of the
Panhandle had 21% of the wheat
acreage in Chiefkan or Red
Chief and the South Plains had
18% of these poor quality var-
ieties. Certain Counties were
very heavy in the acreage of
poor quality varieties while
others had very little of such
varieties. The overall figure,
however, of poor quality varie-
ties is so high that millers
throughout the country are
either refusing to purchase
Southwestern wheat or are dis-
counting in some manner South-
western wheat. As an example,
carloads of wheat reaching the
Kansas City market from rec-
ognized poor quality wheat
areas have been known this sea-
son to have failed to receive a
bid of any kind. Other car-
loads of poor quality wheat have
been taking severe discounts at
certain terminal markets. Texas
Panhandle wheat has been in
the past, a good source of high
protein, high quality wheat with
a good market demand. This
year, in spite of a shortage of
high protein wheat, Southwest-
ern wheat, particularly from the
recognized poor quality variety
producing areas, has not en-
joyed a favorable market in
comparison to good quality pro-
ducing areas. Many carloads
of Chiefkan-Red Chief wheat
even of high protein have either
failed to receive ready bids at
terminal markets or have suf-
fered as much as 16% per
bushel discounts from the price
paid for good quality wheat.
“As a whole the Southwest-
ern area of Kansas, the Pan-
handle and western parts of
Oklahoma and Texas are
suffering from an unfavorable
reputation on quality of wheat.
Texas and Oklahoma mills are
being forced to 'purchase wheat
for baker’s flour from the rec-
ognized high quality wheat pro-
ducing state of Nebraska and
Spring wheat States. Most
Chiefkan and/or Red Chief find-
ing its way to mills and ter-
minal elevators is being ship-
ped out of the country. Of
course, you can appreciate that
this will “kick back” on our
area for future export busi-
ness.
“The need for changing over
to only good quality varieties
has now reached a state of
necessity to head off further
decline of the Texas wheat
quality reputation and further
discrimination against Texas
wheat.
“For the Texas hard, red, win-
ter wheat producing area, the
new varieties of Comanche,
Westar, • Triumph and Wichita
have given satisfactory yields in
most cases. These varieties are
of acceptable milling and bak-

Eugene Chadwick
Receives Burns
Eugene Chadwick, young son
of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Chad-
wick, of this city, received pain-
ful, but not serious burns on
his left hand and arm, last
Thursday evening, near the
Tomerlin Garage.
Young Chadwick, was help-
ing to prime a car, when it
backfired, thus igniting his
clothing. He started to run,
then stopped, and began rolling
in the sand, thus extinguish-
ing his burning clothing. Fire
Chief, Price Sandlin, happened
to be passing the Tomerlin
Garage, in the fire-truck, at the
time of the accident, ran over
the blazing gasoline on the
pavement, thus whipping out
the blaze from the suction creat-
ed by the truck. Sandlin then
grabbed a fire extinguisher, and
offered assistance.
Several persons are still
wondering how the Fire Chief
arrived on the scene so quickly.

CROPS FADING
DUE TO LACK
OF MOISTURE
The lack of rain, the last
few weeks, holds the fate of
Cottle County’s 1947 cotton crop
in the balance, as undecided
clouds left fields scorching
under August skies.
Seriousness of the situation,
for cotton, is reflected in other
counties, too, but the excellent
prospects of the crop in Cottle
County make the desire for rain
stronger than in many sectors.
Persons who have toured
many Texas counties and other
states, say crops in this im-
mediate vicinity are the best
they viewed anywhere.
A development of the past
few days, on the county’s cot-
ton front is a danger sign—
blooms keep climbing higher on
stalks, and in many instances
are right on the top of the
plants. When cotton goes to
blooming on the top stalk, rain
must be received immediately
or the yield will be cut
drastically.
Crop observers point out,
whether or not moisture falls
immediately, will determine the
amount of cotton Cottle County
will harvest from the current
season, > but regardless of
whether it rains or not, the
county will make considerably
more cotton this fall, than last
year.

the City Park.
LEST WE ARE CONFUSED
The advertisement appearing
elsewhere in today’s issue of the
Paducah Post under the caption:
“Your State Taxes Doubled”, has
no reference, whatsoever, to the
proposed Junior College project,
and should not be confused with
that program. The ad refers to
the Amendment to the constitu-
tion which will be voted upon
Saturdav in regard to the fin-
ancing a building for State
colleges.
ATTEND CONVENTION
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Boley and
son, Tommy J., were in Dallas
last week attending a Florists
Convention. They report a very
enjoyable and profitable meet-
ing. ‘ .

Plainview, Texas this week.
SATURDAY IS
ELECTION DAY
Cottle County, as well as all
other counties in the state, will
march to polls, Saturday, August
23, to vote on a constitutional
amendment proposing an a-
mendment to Article VII of the
state constitution.
The Steering Committee for
tiie college building amendment
explains the proposed amend-
ment as follows:
It proposes a $60,000,000 build-
ing program -whereby 16 state
supported colleges and universi-
ties may expand physical plants
to relieve overcoming caused by
a great influx of veteran stu-
dents and adequately to meet
future demands by increasing
number of Texas high school
graduates who are attending
college. The combined enroll-
ment of Texas colleges’ has
nearly doubled since pre-war
years.
The amendment would levy
from the present authorized 7-
cent per $100 valuation state
property tax for Confederate
pension purposes a 5-cent por-
tion for special fund with which
to finance a 30-year building
program at 14 institutions other
than the University of Texas
and Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical college. It does
not disturb the present 2-cent
tax rate for Confederate pens-
ions.
At the same time it reduces
for all time from 35 cents to
30 cents per $100 valuation the
maximum state property tax
rate that may be levied for gen-
eral fund support. For the 30
year life of the amendment the
colleges could not ask the legis-
lature for general fund ap-
propriations for building pur-
poses, except in case of
calamity.
It permits the University to
issue $10,000,000 in bonds and
Texas A. and M. $5,000,000 in
bonds, payable out of income
from the invested portion of the
permanent university fund
which income the two institu-
tions share. No tax revenues are
involved in this portion of the
amendment although the whole
program is contained in one
amendment to the constitution.
Absentee voting ended Wed-
nesday, and if the number of
abentee ballots cast is a fore-
runner of what to expect in the
election Saturday — then very
little interest seems apparent.

Well, well, well—Prattler re-
ceived the following letter from
the Des Moines Register and
Tribune, Des Moines, Iowa:-
“Dear Mr. Hinds—that was a
darn fetching piece you wrote
about the burial of ‘Porky’. I
expect to use it”. For the bene-
fit of the readers, we explain—
The Des Moines Register and
Tribune is selecting what they
think to be outstanding articles
written by weekly newspaper
Editors, throughout the United
States and publishing them into
a book. So, we do'feel honored,
in the fact a “Prattle column”
has been picked to be publish-
ed among the selections. Readers
of this column may remember
the article in which the letter
refers to, is the one dealing with
the poisoning of Beverly’s little
dog sometime ago.

In all probability, within the
near future, a drive will be
staged to raise money for the
purchasing of a Mullikin Res-
pirator for usage in Cottle-
King Counties. Through news
stories, printed recently in the
Post, we have outlined the ad-
vantages and pointed out why
we need the Portable Respira-
tor—so there is no need to say
a lot here in regard to the mat-
ter, other than we should de-
finitely give the project some
deep thinking before we say
no to the matter. The purchas-
ing of the “iron lung” would not
cost any individual very much
money, and it would certainly
be a worthwhile investment.

A grim forecast of a United

writer of the article, Dr. O. E.

“A people who do not care to

cease to exist and other peoples

responsibility cannot be blamed
if they press into a partial
