“T~
Sunday was such a nice warm
day. It was a pleasure to take a
walk in the pastures and see how
the touch of spring -was in the
grass, a peach tree budding out,
and the singing of the birds. Have
a feeling it is a waiting spell —
there will be more winter along
just any time ant sure.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Stone
and Mr. and Mrs. Alva Stone
spent a few days in south Texas
last week visiting relatives.
We want to extend our synfpa-
thy to the family of Cap McEntire
who passed away last week and
was buried at Clairette. He is one
of the old timers and pioneers of
these parts. Until they moved to
town recently, they were our
neighbors in this community.
Thursday night presented us
with a surprise, 2" of snow which
meant more moisture we can al-
ways seem to use.
Mrs. N. E. McGuire stopped by
Wednesday afternoon a few rain-
uites at the Jorgenson home.
Rhubafb was brought to this
county by Benjamin Franklin. Seed
came mostly" from Europe for
about 30 years, then Burpee open-
ed his first small seed house in
1892. He was the first one to give
us a marigold that bad no odor.
Have been reading a book
“Garden To Order,” by Ken
Kraft, a story of Mr. Burpee’s
Seeds And How They Grow. If
you enjoy gardening, want to
know from whence many of our
seeds, etc came from, you will
love the book.
Mr. and Mrs. Billie Ed Koons-
man and boys had Sunday dinner
with Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Koons-
man. They visited Mrs. Rudolph
Koonsman Sunday afternoon who
is still in the Hico Hospital.
Golda Scott and Tanja spent the
day with Dell Mayfield last week
and came by to see Mrs. Cap Mc-
Entire a while on the way home.
We were sorry to learn that
George Crenshaw entered the
Dublin hospital one day last week
and was still there when I talked
to his daughter Sunday. We vis-
ited Pop Sunday night and we
pray for his recovery so that he
may come home soon. All his chil-
dren and their families have been
at his bedside. He is in room 21.
The open house of Mr. and Mrs.
Gale Stephens Saturday night was
a gala ocassion for them for it
meant about six months of hard
work on building and finishing it-
was about to come to an end. All
their children and daughter-in-
laws gave them a helphing hand
at any time they could spare the
time off from their own Jobe and
homes. About ISO signed the
guest book which Frankie design-
ed and gave M. E. for the open
house, punch and cookies ware
served by two granddaughters,
Brenda and Nita, from a table
covered with a lace doth. M. E.
wore «j! pink conation corsage, a
gift frjm her granddaughter*. Mr.
and Mjrs. Vance Stephens and
family of Groesbeek came Thurs-
day and stayed until the week
end. Also, two brothers of M. E.
Sid surd Johnnie Johnson of Abi-
lene, a son and wife spent Satur-
day night with them. Pictures
were made of all who helped build
the home, which included several
men of the neighborhood. The
home was built around two large
native rock fireplaces, one in'the
living-dining area and the other
in the den-kitchen. All rooms were
done in paneling. Joining the kit-
chen is a large utility room com-
pete with all modern conveniences
for making homework easier — A
bath joints the utility room on the
east and a double garage. A large
glassed-inporch also opens off
the utility room. The kitchen is
all electric and up to date in every
way. Three nice size bedrooms and
a white tile bath with a touch of
gold for color, open off the hall-
way. Wall to wall carpet covered
the living-dining room area and
inlaid linoleum on the living
areas. The Stephens wants to say
“thanks a million” to everyone
who helped in any way to main
this day a perfect one; to all who
brought to many nice gifts and
to those who took the time to
come by to see them and say
hello. -----------

Of Interest: It is with interest
that we note that the oil com-
panies are investing more and
more in the fertiliser industry.
This is called a “corporate mar-
riage” trend between fertiliser
and petroleum. Each has certain
things which the other requires
and each has a need which the
other is capable of filling.
World fertilizer comsumption is
expected to double within the next
10 years. There is increased em-
phasis on the use of natural gas
in the production of ammonia, s
major source for the vital nitrog-
en component of most fertilizers.
They are well on their way te
finding many uses for paraffins
and other petroleum fractions for
the control of plant fungus dis-
ease.
Research is on the way with
plans for a new agricultural
mulch which will increase the
yield from some crops 15 to 58 per
cent. The cost is 35 cents a gal-
lon and is sprayed ever the seed
beds. The resin film absorbs solar
radiation and retards evaporation
of moisture from the seed zone.
Watch for the stock to jump in
such companies as Continental
Oil, Socony Mobil, Cities Service,
Gulf and Standard Oil of New
Jersey as these companies are
now in the process of buying and
investing millions in the fertiliser
plants.

Dedication Service
The Huckabay Baptist Church

terested persons are invited to at-
