Collided On Busy
Doumtoum Street
_>_ *
A late model Chevrolet coupe
driven by A. E. Chapman, local
Singer Sewing Machine agent, and
tne City Bub, driven 'by its owner,
A. V, Roberson, collided at the cor-
ner of Washington and Columbia
streotA between the Emptre-Trt-
office and the Bowen Bus
Station, Friday morning about
9:46 o’clock, slightly injuring M*-
Mre. Chapman, the other oc-
ipant of the car, and damaging
vehicles.
Chapman received a minor in-
jury to the left arm and Mrs.
Chapman’s left leg was bruised
by the impact. The fronts of both
machines were slightly damaged.
Roberson was not hurt and there
were no passengers on the bus at
that time.
Mrs. Chapman paid the accident
occurred-when her husbhnd turned
the corner by the newspaper office,
wide enough to prevent
cars parked on the right
side of the street facing north.
The car and the left front of the
bus met as Chapman completed
the turn. A light rain was falling
at the time of the accident and the
streets were wet, ........ '
“Those cars parked where they
can block the right side of the
street at this corner caused the ac-
cident,” Mrs. Chapman said. “They
should jiot be allowed to park
there.”
The Chapmans came here from
Brownwood early in June, Mr.
Chapman having been transferred
to this city by the company for
which he is agent. They make
their home on Sloan Street.

Marshall Goes To Hamlin
Jimmy Marshall, assistant coach
at the Stephenville High School
the past school year, has been
named as head coach of the Ham-
lin High School and has accepted
the position. His one year record
here was outstanding and his ab-
sence from the coaching lines will
be missed during the coming sea-
son. Marshall came to Stephenville
from Howard Payne College where
he was a star for three years, and
prior to that made a big reputa-
tion where he was raised.
Ross R. Wolfe recently has
bought the Munson grape vineyard
and nursery at Denison and ex-
pects to incorporate it into his
Stephenville nursery as rapidly as
possible.
. The Munson Nuriery was found-
ed by T. V. Munson more than 60
years ago and has become known
the world over for its celebrated
varieties of grapes. The govern-
ment of France conferred on Mun-
son a cross of honor for his valu-
able contribution to the grape in-
dustry.
Only recently J. W. Stubenrouch
of Mexia, who created the Frank
Peach and other valuable peach
varieties, wrote Wolfe as follows:
“Realizing the active part of my
life is growing to a close, it is my
desire and request that you propa-
gate and disaiminate the desirable
peach varieties that I have bred
and created, and that you will con-
tinue the breeding work that I
have begun.”
Has Famous Pecans
For several years Wolfe has
been propagating E. E. Risien’s
famous pecan varieties and has ar-
ranged to continue to propagate
and introduce these line varieties
of pecan and ornamental live oak
trees.
The Wolfe Nursery, since a very
small beginning in 1919, is grow-
ing rapidly into an institution that
is using a large crew of men and
women in its expanding busi-
ness. With the breeding work of
Messrs. Munson, Stubenrauch and
Risien combined into their busi-
ness, it is expected that the Wolfe
Nursery will grow into a still more
valuable institution, serving not
only the Southwest but other parts
of the United States and foreign
countries.
It is the ambition of Mr. and
Mrs. Wolfe to build one of the best
fruit nurseries in the South and,
with their large collection of valuj
able fruits, they believe that they
are well on their way to the realiz-
ation of their ambition.
WILTIE CRE8WELL FAMILY
HOME FOR WEEK-END
Mr. and- Mrs. Wiltia Creswell
and small son, Wiltie, Jr.; were
here from Fort Worth Saturday
and Sunday for a visit with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Cres-
well at their home on West Tar-
leton avenue. Wiltie Creswell was
reared in Stephenville where he
is well known and has many
friends.
He and Mrs. Creswell formerly
made their home in Erath county,
having been located for a number
of years at Thurber, where Mr.
Creswell was employed in the of-
fices of the T. P. Coal and Oil
Company. He was transferred to
Fort Worth when the company
moved its offices to that city seve-
ral years ago and they have since
made their home there.
Oak 4-H Club brought in some fine
tomatoes that were grown on his
less than half an acre this season.
Kenneth states that his crop of to-
matoes made very good this year
and so far has sold 164.00 worth of
tomatoep from this small acreage
The tomatoes were not staked
pnjned but were fertilized It d
prove that if the tomatoes are
planted out early enough and are
fertilized the sandy sou in Erath
county will produce one all of the
tomatoes they care to use for
fresh and canned. A. F. Mclnroe of
the Huckabay country states that
he is getting more tomatoes than
he knows what to do with. He has
several acres of tomatoes.
. Anbther Trench Silo
Six acres of corn was burning up
before these last rains, so to save
the crop Walter Smith of Pony
Creek dug a trench silo and filled
it with this corn. He states that he
was certainly glad that he had
that feed saved. He used the silage
cutter that was bought last year
by the Triangle Cheese Factory
for the farmers of the county. This
corn was cut by slide and Mr.
Smith started at 1:30 in the morn-
ing so that he could fill the silo
that day. He states that the moon
gave him good light for the cut-
ting. His tr,ench is 4 feet deep, 7
feet wide at top and 4 feet wide at
bottom and 26 feet long^t; >
Figuring the silage to weigh 35
lounds per cubic foot 'Jie should
iav« around 21,000 pounds of good
green feed for his stock this win-
ter when the frost has killed all
green vegetation except the small
grains and winter grasses. He
used 6 barrels of water while fill-
ing and then hauled five barrels
more and put on this silage. If the
silage is damp it will be wet
enough to pack good in the trench
and that is all the water that is
needed. Mr. Everett states that
there is a great deal of interest in
putting feed in the trench silo and
believes that after these rains it
will still pay to put some of the
cbrn that he has fired up half way
of the stalk, in the trench.
Named First-Sergeant
Garland Crawford of this vici-
nity, now stationed at Camp Bul-
lis for training with the Camp
Bullis C. M. T. C. from July 1,
1938, to July 31, 1938, inclusive,
has been appointed student non-

ant, 368th Infantry Reserve, pub-
licity officer of the C. M. T. C.
headquarters at Camp Bullis.
Jack Benton Visits Brother
Jack Benton, who has been em-
ployed for several years with an
oil company at McCamey, visited

ther and sister-in-law, Mr. and

tives. Mr. Benton lived in Steph-
enville for a long number of years,

Rains have been spoken of as
million dollar rains in the past,
but these last rains and showers
have been of great value to all of
t^e stockmen whether he was beef,
sheep, or dairy farmer. The grass
was not only getting short, but it
was getting dry and these rains
will certainly green up all the
400,000 acres of pastures in' the
county. In some parts of the coun-
ty there was enough rain to fill
tanks while in other parts aU of
the water that fell went into the
soil. Pastures will be in good shape
the rest of the season if we do not
overstock same. «
The feed crops such as lata corn,
grain sorphums, cane and sudan
were certainly benefitted and plen-
ty of feed should be on hand this
winter. Cane and sudan planted on
oat stubble should do fine planted
now, especially for pasture, for we
have over 90 days, before frost.
Fall gardens can be planted and no
doubt there will be many turnips
sown. Fall planted potatoes made
good last full and there will be a
large acreage planted now since
the timely rains. The whole small
potato is planted like potatoes are
planted in the spring, but soil
should be Well drained. Most of the
potatoes planted this spring were
grown in the county last fall. Gar-
dens for fall should be planted af-
ter middle of August, but when
the seed costs so little one can take
a chance on planting, onion sets,
radishes, lettuce, mustard, spinach,
beets, carrots and turnips.
Pasture grasses for the winter
such as rescue grass and rye grass
and clovers such as burr, black
media and white dutch can be
sown now in the pastures on the
native grasses. These winter pas-
ture plants do better on good soil
such as creek bottoms. Where
there is good Bermuda or buffalo
grasses these grasses and legumes
will do well during the winter. A
large number of farmers planted
burr clover last fall and more in-
tend to plant this fall.

Wide-spread Praise follows adoption of Code
of Practice by members of Bretpers Foundation
Kenneth Smallwood of the Lone
"i
THE PUBLIC’S response to the adoption of
a Code of Practice by the members of the
Brewers Foundation waa prompt and
favorable.
Newspapers, social service groups and
thousands of individuals expressed great
satisfaction with the brewers’ determination
to conduct their business in accord with the
desires and conscience of the American public.
The Code pledges the brewers publicly to
“support the. duly constituted authorities in
the elimination of knti-iocial conditions
wherever they may surround the sale of
beer to the consumer.”
How far we can go, and how soon, de-
pends very much on ourselves.. .’but partly
also on you.
Public opinion once aroused, can operate
to bring about honest enforcement of existing
laws. Restriction of your patronage only to
legal, respectable retail outlets can and will
operate to raise retailing standards.
Public preference for the products of Foun-
dation members, identified by the symbol
reproduced beloW, will bear witness of your
approval both to members and to cooperating
retailers, and will enoourage them to re-
newed efforts.
