FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 28,
FIRST FLIGHT OF GEESE
SOUTH FOR WINTER
$*' '
H
Wild geese have already started
south, stepping up their usual sched-
ules about a month, with the first
' flight in Texas reported in August
by a Fort Worth citizen. Scientific
minded gentlemen, observing this and
Bimilar occurrences in other parts of
the state, have come forth with state-
ments that early flights of geese fore-
tell an early and a hard winter.
Gas companies, while not posing as
scientists, have been busy all summer
repairing transmission lines, laying
field* line to connect new wells, and
increasing compressor power. The
local gas company has checked over
its lines and believes’residents should
begin now to check their own house
heating.
'In warning customers to look over
their heating equipment before cold
weather starts and have it set up,
with meters connected in readiness
for winter, the gas company makes
the following suggestions:
Wall cocks and old space heaters
should be inspected and replaced if
necessary.- Whenever possible gas
equipment should be connected by
piping; if flexible tubing is used, it
should be renewed as it is rarely good
for more than one season. Addition-
al heating equipment, if needed,
should be purchased now to avoid
the rush that usually comes with the
first cold day. Vented automatic
heating equipment for increased com-
'Ojrt and more healthful conditions
in- the home has been adapted by
manufacturers especially for the
moderate sized home. A small fur-
nace which hangs beneath the floor,
-circulating warm air through a grill
into one or two rooms; gas steam
.mediators, which manufacture their
heat at the wall; and warm air circu-
lating heaters are some of the newer
popular heating units. Their even,
circulating heat which may be auto-
matically controlled eliminates wall
sweating and overheating with its at-
tendant/colds and other winter ail-

Skidding—cause of 5% times more
accidents than blowouts-—becomes
more dangerous as winter approaches.
For quickest stops buy “G*3” Good*
years—proved safest by 8,400 tests.
When you must suddenly jam on vour
brakes, averting an accident often is a
matter of Inches. Well, stop testa on
slippery pavement show: on smooth
tires you slide 77% farther, on other
new tires you slide 14% to 19%
farther than on new “G»3” Good-
year All-Weathers. That’s the
Goodyear Margin of Safety—a
big reason why more people
buy Goodyears than any
other tire. Since It costs you
nothing extra, why not
have this margin of
safety on your car too?

mitted up to 80 per cent or 86 per
cent of the base, and corn acreage
increased up' to 76 -p.er cent to 90
cent of the base, the exact per
to be optional.
Other recommendations made by
the conference were that contracted
corn acreage be used without restrict-8 ’
ion for hay, pasture, soil improve-
ment, soil erosion prevention crops,
fallowing, or for forest plantings;
that grain sorgums be included in the
1936 contract on the same basis as
corn as to adjustments, benefits and
tax; and that the base of processing
tax be broadened to include other
commodities in proportion to the
benefits accruing to them from this
program.
It was also recommended that the
plan for warehousing corn on the
farm be continued and the same prin-
ciple extended to other grains, awd
that the 1935 corn-hog contracts be
made a step toward a long-time con-
tract program to begin in 1936. It
was asked that the meeting be hold
the first week in October; that the
questions be clarified and more speci-
fic; and that the poll be taken by un-
paid workers. ‘‘It must be remem-
bered that these were merely recom-
mendations to the AAA and that they
may or may not be followed,” Regcn-
brecht said.

The 246 Corn-Hog contract signers
in Freestone County will be asked to
vote on the 1935 plan of the corn-
hog section of the AAA according to
word received here by County Agent
W. B. Frederick from E. M. Regen-
brecht, Extension Swine Husband-
man. A meeting will be held in Fair-
field, Tuesday October 2 at 2 p. m.
at the Tabernacle.
Regenbrecht represented the Tex-
as Extension Service in the AAA
meeting held recently in Kansas City
where farmers and representatives
from state agricultural colleges of
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas met
to make recommendations for the
next steps in the Corn-Hog program.
The first question discussed at Kan-
sas City and tl> be voted on by corn-
hog contract signers is whether or
not there shall be any sort of adjust-
ment program in this field, Regen-
brecht stated.
The second point to be decided is
whether the contract shall deal with
corn only or hogs only or be a joint
contract as in 1934.
The third question will ask for pre-
ference on the type of contract which
they wish to follow the 1935 pro-
gram. This refers to a possible uni-
fied contract for the six basic grains:
wheat, corn, rye, barley, grain sorg-
hums and flax. It would represent
a shift from several single crop con-
tracts to a broad program of develop-
ing better systems of farming through
less intensive use of land, conserva-
tion of soil resources, and the use of
land for those crops for which it is
best adapted.
The Fourth question will be voted
on only by those contract signers who
are grain sorghum growers for grain.
It will ask if they prefer that grain
sorghums J>e inejuded in the 1935
contract. The exact wording of the
question will be available at the time
of th* meeing.
At Kansas City the voting was that
payments be made on both
and hogs, that. the established
8 base in the 1934 program for
and hogs be used, with
ents Of $3 per head of
of the 1932-33 hogs, and

A timely reminder
'Days are growing shorter, nights longer, and

' of a match and you’ll find just the type
heater to fit your particular need on dis-

gas supply again this winter.
