The hot days are here. Have you
built a shade for your poultry and

dividends and the cost in either time
or labor is small.

Most of the county has had good
rains. Let’s all take advantage of
this moisture and finish planting our
gardens and any unplanted parts of
our farms. All kinds of feed-stuffs
are going to sell at a premium this
year.

Somebody on the Subdivision tried
to discourage Mrs. Fenley in planting
a garden. We would like for this
party to go by and look at what she
has growing. If you are still not con-
vinced just spend an hour and look
around and you will find that every-
body that has planted and tended it
has a fine garden.
Loyd Lee has a fine acreage of
cantaloupes that are now blooming.
Here’s hoping that a good crop will
be harvested.

Even the. Supervisor has roasting-
ears. Certainly everybody else has
them.

Have you seen the sweet Sudan
crop now growing on both the Beard
and Kelly farms. It will pay to watch
this crop for it is the writer’s opinion
that this sweet sudan will complete-

has been grown here for years.

IN MEMORY OF G. C. BARNES
By Mrs. H. L. Gladney, Kingsville, Texas
Two years ago Mr. Barnes, a roomer, came with us to stay.
He meant more than this, a friend and neighbor he was in every way.
As a game warden for the ranch his duty he never shirked,
And with the law enforcement he congenially worked.
When a transgressor broke over and the law tried to evade,
Mr. Barnes dealt with him fair; instead of an enemy, a friend he'd
made.
His work was untiring and no one passed him by,
The transgressor felt he had justice and this he couldn’t deny.
The Golden Rule Mr. Barnes tried to live each day,
He didn’t demand of others that he himself wouldn’t pay.
Mr. Barnes’ untimely death was a shock to us all,
For it was through the night the Death Angel made his call.
We miss Mr. Barnes and his place will be hard to fill.
His work and kind deeds we hold in our memory still
A friend and neighbor has been our loss,
Lord, help us to share with others and bear our cross.
inches in diameter and of good col-
or. Cut off the tops of beets and
carrots, leaving one inch of stem.
Dry one hour in the shade, and store.
Storing Green Tomatoes
In commercial tomato areas, green
cull tomatoes from packing sheds
may be properly treated and placed
in storage for a month or two. Before
storing, paint both the stem and scar
with wak made by melting together
one part beeswak and two parts min-
eral oil. Store in a cool, well venti-
lated place to ripen. Place them on
a slatted shelf so that they do not
touch, or deck in a cellar.
Pack beets and carrots in layers of
sand in jars or boxes of about one
bushel capacity and store in a cool
ventilated place. In packing in dry
climates, slightly moisten the sand
and place two or three inches in the
bottom of the container. Then put in
a single layer of vegetables not
touching each other. Then cover with
one inch of sand, then another layer I S
of vegetables and continue until the
receptacle is filled.
Beets, in order to store well,
should be about two inches in diame-
ter, in perfct condition, and of good
color. Carrots should be one to two

Ladies, if you have not placed your
order for your cans or jars for spring
canning, now is the time to purchase
them.

Conserve surplus, don't let waste
and neglect rob you and your family
of a variety of well canned foods
during these months when they can-
not be had fresh.

Americans must meet a new prob-
lem—produce and conserve food for
home use. If you have more than you
need, share with a neighbor.
Take no chances—can vegetables
in a pressure cooker only.
Save your food values in fruits and
tomatoes by canning exclusively by
the water-bath method.

ly marketing.
The War Food Administration is
not advocating the marketing of
cattle that are not in reasonable
marketing condition, nor advising
any livestock producer as to the ad-
justment he should make. On the
basis of this information every live-
stock producer should appraise his
own situation and determine the ad-
justment he needs to make.
Last year Argentina burned 200
million bushels of corn as fuel. The
Government price support on Argen-
tina corn is about 20c a bushel. They
had so much corn that the govern-
ment offered to feeders all they
could use at lc a bushel. The Argen-
tine government support price of
wheat has been approximately 40c
a bushel. Many thousand bushels
were burned last year for fuel.
Dairy Feed Payments
The period of May 1 through June
30, shall be considered as one pay-
ment period. Payments for this pe-
riod are to begin as soon as possible
after June 30. Payments for this pe-
riod are at the rate of 45c cwt. for
whole milk and 6c a pound for but-
terfat.

3. Plenty of ventilation; low tem-
perature; dryness.
4. Insure safety from actual
freezing.
Beets
To store root vegetables, such as
beets and carrots, in sand, some
moisture may be needed because it
will increase the risk of spoilage.
Storing in layers on clean sand or
without sand has given good qual-
ity products. If sand is not clean, it
may produce an earthy flavor in the
product.
