Agriculture Department report-
ed Monday that 18,316,000 acres
of cotton were in cultivation on
July 1, or 3.2 per cent more
than a year ago.
No forecast on production
was given. If the yield per
acre equals last year’s 251
pounds, however, and the full
July acreage is harvested, pro-
duction this year would be a-
bout 9,158,000 bales. Last year's
crop totalled 9,015,000 bales.

pharmacist and owner of Car-

hospital at 1:45 a. m. Tuesday,
July 2. He had been ill for sev-
eral months and as his condi-
tion became worse he was forc-
ed, several weeks, ago, to retire
from his business. He did not
regain consciousness from the
time he was taken to the hospi-
tal over a week ago.
Death was ascribed to perni-
cious anemia and complications
with the malady. He was 57
years of age.
Mr. Carter was a popular
Bellville citizen for 27 years,
coming here from his native
Warrenton, in Fayette county,
where he was born August 23,
1888. He established his drug

June session on Wednesday
evening, June 19, at the Clarke

Tuesday until the fair opens in
October.
Attending the meeting were

Chances are that the first
you will know of the Red Spider
being in cedars, arborvitaes, I
and evergreen cypress is that
you will notice leaves turning
gray or brown. A good, strong
stream of water hosed on the
plants twice a week or dust-
ing with cotton sulphur will
check the insects.

Be on Alert for Termites
During the next few weeks
termites still will be swarming,
which makes them easy to dis-
cover. Termites are what is
known as white ants and fly
during swarming season. Later
they lose their wings. The
pests form concealed canals in
which they travel and eat away
the wood. Inspect frequently
and treat immediately. Good
ventilation and drainage be-
neath a house is most import-
ant.
limited quantities of its first
postwar color travel map are
now rolling off the presses.
The expected bumper crop of
summer tourists in the Lone
Star State will be guided over
Texas highways with the aid of
a map that will give visitors a
brief introduction to a few of
the State’s points of interest.
In addition it will afford a
complete, accurate, easy-to-read
travel map for the use of all.
The de luxe map is expected
to be the most popular feature
at the Department’s Informa-
tion Bureaus which have been
reopened at strategic pointe to
supply post-war tourists with
reliable, up-to-date facts on
highways and tourist attrac-
tions which support one of the
state’s largest and fastest
growing “cash crops.”
The postwar edition carries a
small scale map of the United
States, the usual large scale in-
sets of the state’s metropolitan
areas, strip maps of the main
Texas travel routes and the
Pan American Highway into
Mexico. It gives mileages be-
tween towns and carries a sup-
plementary mileage chart. The
highway marking system is ex-
plained with illustrations and
there is a column of miscellan-
eous facts about the nation’s
largest State.
Shown also are the State and
National parks, some of the old
Missions, and other points of
historical interest. Twenty-aix
color pictures, which will be
changed in each subsequent edi-
tion, depict typical Texas
scenes.
The outside of the map, when
folded for mailing, bears a pic-
ture of the State Capitol and
another of Governor Coke Ste-
venson. Below the Governor’s
picture is his official greeting
“To Motorists Everywhere.” In
hrs message Governor Steven-
son extends to the people of
States and Nations a cordial in-
vitation to visit Texas and en-
joy the hospitality of its peo-
ple. “The highway of Texas are
yours.” he says. “Use them free-
ly for your business and pleas-
ure.”
An early American fireside
chair, approximately seventy-
five years old, is one of the
cherished possessions of Mrs.
E. H. Baumgart. The chair is
sturdily built and beautiful in
design; and despite its age, is
still in excellent condition ex-
cept that it nee Is re-upholster-
ing.
The re-upholstering of this
chair was the task undertaken
by Mrs. Louis* Harper, home
demonstration agent, and the
local H. D. Club members on
Monday, July 8, when a regular
meeting was held at the school
building. The upholstery, pad-
ding, springs, and webbing
were removed from the chair
and replacement of all, except
the copper springs which were
in excellent condition, will have
been made when the chair is
finished at the next meeting.
Time for the work period, after
the upholstering was torn
down, allowed for the securing
of the new webbing or spring
support, and the fastening and
tying of the springs. Covering
and padding them and making
an inner and outer cover with
complete finishing touches is
to take place at the
monthly meeting.
The business meeting was
held during a rest period. Fair
exhibits were discussed and an
educational exhibit by the local
club was decided upon. Mem-

The Department of Agricul-
ture announced today the de-
signation of the week of July
15 to 22 as National Home Food
I Preservation Week, according
to Lucy Barden, Associate FSA
Supervisor of Austin County.
This week will focus attention
on the necessity for home can-i
ning and preservation of food'
supplies for the coming winter
months at a time when food
supplies are badly needed
throughout the world. It will
serve as the beginning of in-
tensive food preservation ef-
forts throughout the summer
and fall months.
Home food preservation not
only will increase supplies for
American families, but it also
will help release those foods
that are particularly adapted
for shipment to the famine
areas abroad.
During the war years Victory-
Gardens produced over 8 billion
tons of food annually and our
housewives preserved 3 1-2 bil-
lion quarts of fruits and vege-
tables yearly during the same
period. In view of the world-
wide tood shortage, the need
for repeating and even exceed-
ing these accomplishments is
greater now than it was then.
Record crops of home grown
and commercially produced
vegetables are available and
everyone is urged to take ad-
vantage of these supplies.
Pt aches, especially, are plenti-
ful throughout the country and
easily adapted for “putting
up.”
Actively cooperating in this
program, says Miss Barden,
will be various consumer and
trade groups, the President’s
Famine Emergency Committee,
the National Garden Institute,
the National Red Cross, and
various other interested public
and private groups.
Commenting on the need for
every type of home food pre-
servation by American home-
makers, Secretary Anderson
said:
“The war years are behind.
In front of us is the task of
retooling for peace.
“The immediate problem that
faces a war-torn world is food.
Food spells peace and demo-
cracy. Food spells rest instead
of foment. It is the obligation
of every American to conserve
and to preserve this precious
food. In this way we assure our
own people a better diet, as
well as help the famine strick-
en of the world.”

Her veil was beautifully styled
with a beaded crown. She car-
ried a little white Bible with

Mrs. Herbert Ellerman, sis-
ter of the bride was her only
attendant. She wore a gown of
deep rose taffeta fashioned
with sweet-heart neckline. She
carried a bouquet of white
daisies.
Brookie D. Ward served the
groom as best man.
A reception honoring the cou-
ple followed immediately at the
heme of the bride’s parents.
The table held the beautiful
three-tiered wedding cake cen-
tered by a miniature bride and
groom.
Miss Thelma Meier of Bell-
ville, had charge of the bride’s
book, while Mrs. Alois Schmidt,
sister of the groom cut the
cake.

ple will make their home in
