AGED BURTON MAN
Egale Lake Headlight, Mar.
17.—Charlie E. Hilboldt, 54,
Slaly stockman and a former
game wardejj, died at his home
Monday night. He was a son of
C. S. Hilboldt, one of the oldest
and most widely known stock-
men of South Texas.
He was born at Millheim and
with his father devoted many
years to the cattle business, al-
so serving as game warden for
the Sealy district for several
years.
Surviving are his wife and
one son, C. E. Hilboldt, Jr., of
Houston; his father and moth-
er, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hilboldt;
four brothers and one sister,
Frank of Sierra Blanca, Dallas.
Jack »nd Waco of Sealy, and
Mrs. J. G. Hill, also of Sealy.Twenty-eight peach trees and
eight plums were grafted by
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Jurchak dur-
ing February. Mrs. Jurchak
member of the Bleiblerville
home demonstration club re-
ports that they have added one
fourth acre, black berries, 85
peacn trees, 55 plums and three

Now is the time to begin
spraving fruit trees, especially
peach and plum, to insure a
good cron of delicious fruit this
summer. Fruit trees are now
setting a wonderful crop of
fruit. Farm families need more
fruit to eat fresh and to can in
order that they may have a
better balanced diet. Following a
simple spraying schedule to con-
trol plum curculio, wormy
peaches, brown rot, scab and
leaf spot will help to hold this
fruit on the trees and give it
a chance to mature.
Peach and plum trees should
be sprayed at least three times
after blooming.
First spray: When most of
the petals have fallen from the
blossoms, spray with the fol-
lowing mixture.
1 ounce arsenate of lead.
4 ounces lime sulphur.
2 gallons of water.
Second spray. Two weeks af-
ter the first spray, repeat using
same mixture.
Third spray: About 3 weeks
before fruit ripens spray with
a mixture of 4 ounces lime sul-
phur and 2 gallons
to control brown rot
and Leaf spot.
To control blight
spray trees as soon
develop with a mixture of */i
pounds bluestone, % pounds hy-
drated lime, and 6 gallons of
water.
Grapes should be sprayed to
control Black rot, Mildew, leaf
folder, leaf hopper, and aphids.
The spray to use is Bordeaux
mixture made by mixing 1
pounds bluestone, 1 pound stone
lime and 10 gallons water. Fol-
low this schedule:
First spray: About a week
before blossoms have opened.
Second spray: When majority
of blossoms have fallen.
Third spray: About 3
weeks later.

Congress and Exposition in Cleveland, Ohio, July 28 to August 7, 1939,
will be probably the most comprehensive display of all breeds and varieties
of poultry ever gathered under one roof. It is the purpose of Congress
officials to gather and display here representative specimens of every
known breed and variety. Asked what the word ‘‘poultry" denoted as
applied to this exposition, one official has replied—"Everything that wears
feathers.” Here the visitor will see every breed of chicken from the
familiar breeds of our neighboring farm yards to rare and exotic varieties
from out of the way corners of the world. There will be ducks and geese
and turkeys, pigeons, water fowl and other types of common and rare
feather bearing specimens. Here before the eye will range a vision of color
and graceful line that would surpass any "beauty parade” for interest.
Even the most experienced poultryman will find himself confronted by
surprise after surprise as he encounters many of our lesser known breeds,
coloi.'ul fowl from the tropics, rare breeds from far off Asia and little
known varieties from the out-of-the-way corners of the world. To Congress
visitors the Hall of Live Poultry will be a source of new-found interest and
pleasure—and a most worth-while educational feature.

La Grange Journal, March
16.—"Following the recent in-
cident in which a Burton resi-
dent was fleeced of more than
8800, another event in which
the swindler failed to get away
with it was recounted here to-
day by Chas Kasten of Burton.
It seems that about 2 weeks ago
a well-dressed stranger drove
up alongside August Kieke, 80-
year-old Burton man, and said:
"Hello Mr. Kieke. Get in and I’ll
take you home.” Although not
recognizing the man, Mr. Kieke
assumed it was someone he
should have known, and so he
got into the car. On the way,
the man explained he was writ-
ing family histories for a maga-
zine, and that he had included
the Kieke family in the list of
pioneers. He explained that he
had to have the written per-
mission of all those written up,
and when they arrived at the
residence, he asked Mr. Kieke
to sign a paper giving the per-
mission. Now Mr, Kieke, al-
though up in years, has retain-
ed good eyesight, and he be-
lieves in scrutinizing everything
he signs. When he looked at
the paper, he discovered it was
a check for several hundred
dollars which the man sought
to have him sign. Without a
word, Mr. Kieke turned on tjje
stranger and, despite his age,
hit him squarely in the face,
and put the man to flight. Noth-
ing further has been heard
from this swindler since.

fatally Sunday afternoon after
pushing Miss Minnie Bennight,1 in

miles north of Smithville.
Wilkerson, whose skull was
fractured and his neck broken,
died before his arrival at a hos-

Witnesses said he was walk-

the girl when a passing auto-
