Farmers Get Good
Prices Who K novt
Their Marketing
Farmers get better prices for
ihi-ir cotton wht n they know
three things before going to mar-
ket, according to Sam W. Martin,
head of the Dallas cotton class-
ing office, l,’. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Mr Martin named grade, staple
length, and knowledge of local
Ipririe Quotations. Then he explain-
ed that farmers armed with these
facts are in a position to demand
fair value, whereas those who
only know that they’ve got a bale
ol cotton to sell are likely to get
paid less.
There's a simple way for farm-
ers to get this information, he
pointed out, and at no cost. They
can sign up with a cotton im-
provement group under the
Smith Doxey program. To do this,
a farmer must contact his county
agent, nearest cotton classing of-
fice or ginner.
After his group is organized,
the ejected group leader files one
application with the cotton class-'
ing office covering all of its
members.
"Once this is done," Martin
said, “members will get free
classing service on all their cot-
ton. And in addition, they can
get USDA’s price quotations each
ww-k. This service is mailed free
upon request.
And when their cotton is class-
ed b> USDA, Martin stated, farm-
ers will get back to green class
card showing grade and staple
length. With this card they ran
sell their cotton without bother-
ing to submit samples to buyers.
Mr. Martin reminded .interest-
ed farmers to sign up before the
August 1st deadline to insure
their place in the 1954 program.

HOLLYWOOD — — A
Quadruple-threat individual to
handle all important ends of a
motion picture’s "words and mu-
sic” has been forecast by Dimitri
Tiomkin, composer-conductor.
Tiomkin bases his prediction on
what he terms a growing need for
one person to handle integration
at a filfn's musical score with its
story.
His man-of-the-future will be
a producer who not only can
write and direct but also can
compose and .conduct the film’s
score.
In order not to get caught
when super-producers come into
style, Tiomkin, who has turned
out many film musical scores,
has turned producerPhimself. And
to assure himself of producer
status, he bought screen rights to
a story.
The four-way producer
strictly a natural development
said Tiomkin, and stems from a
trend of tighter story-music uni
fication. His untitled story, which
he owns with Chester Miller, will
be based on the life of the great
Irish tenor, John McCormack.
, Not Directing Yet
"Integration is the thing," Tio-
mkin explained. "More and more
the smart producers insist on the
composer-conductor sitting in on
the story conferences from the
beginning. The musical score
isn’t just something you tack on
later.
"It is used to help tell the story,
to set a mood, even to reveal a
person’s character, and we’re
really just scratching the surface
on this thing’s possibilities.”
Tiomkin, whose credits include
the current Warner release and
Wayne-Fellows production, “The
High and the Mighty,” isn't going
to pull out all the contractual
stops in the story he half-owns.
Any leal, purchase, package or
any otner type of participation
must include his services as pro-
ducer. He’d like to be a director,
but that will have to wait.
He’ll just triple-threat for this
one as its no-directing producer-
composer-conductor.

MORI MONEY
w ROADS
xm^
During All.tn Shivers’ Administration more money has been
spent for lotds than in any other comparable period in
Texas history.
For that money Textis added 14,926.10 miles of smooth
roads to the state highway system and maintained all roads
to keep them safe and sound for you.
Allan Shivers knows the importance of good roads to you.
Whether trade-routes that speed goods to market or modern
super-highways that make your driving a pleasure, good
roads save you time and money.
IN FREESTONE COUNTY
$2,443,023.36 has been spent on roads for you during Allan
Shivers Administration.
You have 62.76 more miles of roads today than when iie
became your governor.
This means better Farm-to-Market roads, so important to
farmers and citizens of small towns.
It means modern, safe highwaYs that make vour trips en
joyable and inexpensive.
Texas comes first with Allan Shivers.
