school saw and heard at first
hand one of the most success-
ful farmer’s produce markets in
the country operating tor the
benefit of truck growers in the
Jacksonville area.
Allen Goforth, manager, buy
the fields cultivated about the
same as any good tomato grow-
ing farmer would do in East
Texas.
The land was plowed in Jan-
uary. On March 24, the rows
were fertilized with 5 10-5 at
the rate of 390 (rounds per acre.
The tomato plants were set

Senator Johnson. Democratic
Leader in the Senate, rallied
his fellow-Democrats in support
of the amendment. It was ap
proved by a 42-40 vote, closely
lollowing party lines.
The amendment would boost
KEA's lending authority, start-
ing July 1, to $135,000,000. The
.President had asked for $55,-

Senate Committee had approv-
ed $100,000,000.
“It seems to me false econo-
my to appropriate less money
lor REA than was appropriated
last year,” Senator Johnson
said. “The REA program does
not cost the Government any
money. The money loaned is
being returned at 2 per oent in-
terest. I am proud, as all
friends of REA are pnoad, of
the fact that these loans are be-
ing paid back ahead of time.

If you wish to be secure and
satisfied in your own mind that
you have no gas leaks in and
around your home, we have a
very efficient man to call on
at the Gas company office, Mr.
Johnny Maggard, call him and
let him efficiently go over your
gas system. He will advise you
and counsel with you and you
can be sure in ypur own mind
that your house is safe from
gas leakage and possible ex-

If you use Butane or Pro-

and he will be in a position to
put your mind at ease for sa-

explosion and fire by lighting
matches to detect gas leak's,
