THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1950
which is still the principal
variety of Hegari.
The labor shortage during
World War II, the demand for
grain and the development of
the double dwarf grain sor-
ghums brought the combines,
into the sorghum fields. In 1949,
more than 85 percent of Texas
grain sorghums were combine
harvested.
The popularity of the combine
varieties in turn led to a short-
age of bundle feed; the supply
is expected to be shorter still
in the future because of acre-
age reductions.
Plant breeders of the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station
foresaw the need for forage and
silage and for the past several
years have been working on the
problem Hi-Hegaria is the re-
sult.
The entire supply of seed has
been distributed for increase,
and a fair amount of Hi-Hegari
will be available for 1951 plant-
ing through regular trade chan-
Seed Of New
Variety Hi-Hegari
Has Been Released
Seed of a new variety named
HirHegari has been released to
certified seed growers for in-
crease, R. E. Karper, agronomist
in charge of Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station grain sor-
ghum investigations, has an-
nounced.
It is a tall variety of Hegan,
bred and developed primarily
for forage and silage.
Karper says it has the high
quality and palatable forage of
Hegari and the same maturity
and adaptation, but yields ap-
proximately 20 percent more
forage.

The approach of spring in many sections of the country is
heralded by robins, crocuses and marble playing boys, but in
Indianapolis, home of the internationally famous 500 mile auto-
mobile speed classic, the true harbinger of spring is John F. Moore.
Field manager of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company racing
tire division, Moore is pictured above Just after his arrival at the
Speedway moving a shipment of race tires into the Firestone garage
at the track. Shortly after Moore arrived race cars began to reach
the track, and the garage area, where delicately tuned race cars are
prepared for the annual classic, began to stir with life* Since 1920
every winner at Indianapolis has used Firestone tires, and 1950 will
mark the twenty-sixth consecutive race in which the winner has used
Firestone. It is the.only tire that is “safety proved on the speedway
for your safety on the highway.”

Children Back From
Sight-Seeing Tour
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Higgin-
botham, teachers at Cee Vee
school, accompanied the follow-
ing children on a sight-seeing
tour last week: Jerry Barlow,
Don Finch, Harlen Lawrence, J.
Buck Bumpus, John Walter
Bumpus, Richard Bumpus. Dale
Hankins, Gale Wayne Merrill,
Charles Holman and Marion
Woodard. Points of interest en-
joyed by the group were Carls-
bad Caverns, El Capitan and
Sginal Mountains, Palo Dura
Canyon, and the Museum at
West Texas State College, Can-
yon.
While in the Palo Dura Can-
yon, the group participated in
a Treasure Hunt. All found gold
coins which entitled them to
free tickets on the car to be
given away this summer. Other
prizes won were: $1.00 Chicken
Dinner, for John Walter Bumpus;
$2.00 meal ticket at Shady
Brush Inn at Amarillo, by J.
D. Finch; one gallon ice cream
for Mrs. Higginbotham; an elec-
tric toaster and a car seat cush-
ion for Marion Woodard.

Senator. In the yard is a pecan
tree said to have been planted
by Houston himself. The home’s
six rooms are furnished com-
pletely with pieces representa-
tive of Houston’s time, much
of it his family’s personal pos-
sessions.
Two log structures — the
kitchen, a replica, and the law
office original—are equipped
just as Houston and his fam-
ily used them. A carriage house
contains transportation and
agricultural equipment used in
Houston’s time.
Paintings of buildings and
houses connected with the gen-
eral’s life and family portraits
adorn the walls of the Steam-
boat House, which was moved
to Memorial park as part of
Texas’ centennial celebration.
The park itself is part of
the Sam Houston State Teachers
College campus and the original
133-acre Houston farm. Hun-
dreds of different species of
trees and plants representative
of all Texas surround a small
lake dug in the shape of the
State.
In addition to the tourist-vis-
itors, the shrines annually at-
tract another 25,000 school chil-
dren, who come throughout the
year to learn their history les-
sons “out of books”.
The admission-free park and
buildings are maintained by
the college, which too is a part
of Texas history as the oldest
State-supported educational in-
stitution. It still uses the first
building erected in Texas for
higher education, now 98 years
old.

HADACOL sales or shipments
have reached the amazing total of
5,000,000 bottles since January 1,
more of any one tonic than has
ever been sold in so small an area
in so short a time.
Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc,
Founder and President of The
LeBlanc Corporation, Lafayette,
Louisiana, makers of HADACOL,
said the sales and shipments
would have been far greater if his
company could have obtained
enough material to meet the de-
mands.
“We have been several hundred
thousand bottles behind in ship-
ments since January 1,” said Sen-
ator LeBlanc. “It looks like we
just cannot catch up because
every time we increase produc-
tion the demand increases.”
Senator LeBlanc credited the
South’s heaviest newspaper
schedule with much of the success
of HADACOL.
