mits producers to repay their loans

Texas' outlook for reaching its
Food for Freedom goals is bright
despite the labor shortage, the bat-
tle against insects and disease, and
the scarcity of equipment, special-
ists of the A. & M. College Ex-
tension Service reported last week.
Milk production will exceed the

report said. Demand for fluid milk
from Army camps has decreased
the volume of cheese plants, and

These heavy tanks are needed for
certain phases of modern warfare,
and with their thick armor and
heavy-gauge guns they are almost
unstoppable. They are considered
superior in gun power, in maneuver-
ability and in the power of their
huge tractor motors to Axis tanks.
Americans everywhere are helping
to pay for these monsters of war
through their purchase of War
Bonds. Invest at least ten percent
of your income in War Bonds every

Blackhead is one of the serious
problems confronting turkey rais-
ers, with poults of one to three or
four months old most affected,
says W. A. Boney, Jr., poultry
veterinarian of the Texas A. &
M. College Extension Service. The
source of the disease is a one-cell
organism which is taken into the
body in the cecal worm egg picked
up from contaminated soil or
food.
Tire principal symptoms are
drooping and decline in feeding,
and the death rate soon becomes
very high if preventive measures
are not adopted. There is no prac-
tical treatment available, Dr. Bo-
ney says, but regular worming
with phenothiazine or tobacco dust
has proved beneficial as a pre-
ventive.
Phenothiazine powder is given on
the basis of one pound to 1.000
birds. It is easily mixed by pacing
one pound of the drug in 60
pounds of mash and feeding six
pounds of the mixture to each 100
birds for two days. Tobacco dust
at the rate of two to four per
cent easily is given for one to two
weeks. If possible, move the birds
to clean ground and isolate the
sick.
Another disease, trichomoniasis,
i closely resembling blackhead. It
J also is caused by a one-cell organ-
ism picked up directly from soil,
I water, litter and feed, and affects
all ages. Dr. Boney says he has
I observed more of it this year than
! any other disease, and loses have
' been large. The birds show gen-
eralized weakness and droopiness
when affected, along with watery,
foamy, whitish diarrhea. Treat-
ment he adds. Is strictly a prob-
lem of sanitation. By administer-
ing a mixture of two ounces of
coppersulphate (bluestone) in one
pint vinegar, and moving the birds
if possible, good results can be ex-
pected. Tire mixture should F*
given in quantities of one table-
spoonful to each gallon of drink-
ing water in a non-metal contain-
er for four or five days.
condensed
The state is also
meeting the required 12 per cent
increase in egg production. Texas
has 16 per cent of the nation’s
egg drying capacity and can dry
50 per cent of the eggs produced
in the state, poultry husbandmen
said.
Recently vegetable growers have
moved 70,000 carloads to Eastern
markets. Tire horticulturist indi-
cated that the current problem Is
getting enough canned tomatoes
needed for distribution under lend-
lease commitments. A 52 per cent
increase in this year's pig crop
was forcast by the Extension swine
husbandman, who said the number
of pigs raised per litter has reach-
ed an all-time high. The Texas
pig population Is 18 per cent great-
er than ever before.
This year's calf crop Is far in
excess of the average, and cattle
sold for slaughter are considerably
heavier than last season.
Peanuts offer one of the biggest
problems to Texas farmers, since
the state’s 1942 acreage is three
times as great as that of 1941 and
five times the 10-year average. Tire
Texas goal for soybeans was 5.000
acres, but farmers planted 50,000,
it was reported.
Food specialists said Texans are
patriotically trying to get by on
as little sugar as possible, and that
thousands more are trying to eat
by the Texas Food Standard, a
simple guide to a good daily diet.
This year’s unprecedented food
production together with shortage
of canning equipment, is resulting
in greater emphasis on drying of
food. Sun driers recommended by
the Extension Service are
tical in all parts of Texas.
Reports also were given on the
progress of the Victory Demonstra-
tion, the Extension Sendee war-
time program for enlisting all farm |
families in war work. Mr. and Mrs. John Partridge and
medical assistance pro- children of Pampa are visiting this
way in Cass and in week with relatives and friends
here.
I am deeply grateful to my many
friends of Montague County. The
overwhelming vote of confidence
which you gave me shall be an in-
spiration to me to serve you to
the best of my ability.
Your friend,
LOUIS HOLLAND.
Planting of state certified seed
for most field crops is increasing
steadily in Texas, says E. A. Mil-
ler. agronomist of the A. and M.
College Extension Service. Use of
pure seed of high yielding strains
Is more necessary now than ever
before, in order to meet the grow-
ing demand for farm crops and
products. Planting pure seed makes
farming more profitable, too.
The grain sorghum seed
provement work has been rather
outstanding, especially in connect-
ion with pythium root rot. Miller'
says. A resistant strain, called "
Texas milo’’, developed by the —
Texas Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion. has replaced most of the sus-
ceptible seed and saved the milo
maize growers of Texas several
million dollars a year.
The seed improvement work with
oats, barley and wheat consisted
largely of demonstrating the value
of the best varieties, and to get
farmers to standardize on those
which proved to be the most satis-
factory. A systematic educational
campaign in wheat was conducted
' in cooperation with the Texas
. Wheat Improvement Association.
I because the seed of many growers
had become mixed and also because
some poor baking varieties espec-
ially Chiefkan and Early Black-
hull were gaining a foothold. The
educational work resulted in a
much bigger demand for pure seed
of the best varieties.
Texas hybrid corn, which pro-
duces an average of 20 percent
more than ordinary corn, became
available for distribution in 1941.
The 6.000 bushels available in 1942
was considerably less than the de-
mand.
“It is hoped that the supply of
Texas hvbrid seed corn, grown by
certified seed growers will be much
larger for 1943 planting, especially
since it now looks as though the
new type is definitely on the
march,” Miller observes.

LEARN TO REPIACEBIOWNFUSES
Here’s How To Do It!
If Lights Go Out, check with your neighbors to see it their service
is also oft. If not, look for a blown fuse, as the cause of the trouble
is probably in your own home.
Pull Cords From Outlets. If you’re not sure what caused the fuse
to blow, disconnect all appliance and extension cords.
Turn Off Main Switch. Stand on a dry surface. Set main switch
at "OFF” position, so no electricity will flow through fuses. Main
switch is usually on fuse box, but may be separate from same.
Remove Blown Fuse. Replace blown fuse with a new fuse of
same size ... generally 15 amperes for household circuits.
Turn On Main Switch. If new fuse blows again and you cannot
locate the trouble call an electrician or serviceman.
Examine All Cord*. Before reconnecting appliance or extension
cords, look for breaks in insulation or loose connections that may
have caused "short” and blown fuse. Repair .or replace same to
prevent a repetition of the trouble.
Never Use Substitutes. Never replace a blown fuse with a penny
or with a fuse of too high an amperage. It's dangerous. Always
keep a few extra fuses of right size on hand.
Many folks always have replaced their own fuses. Those who
haven't can be a big help in saving rubber and automotive equip-
ment by doing it themselves from now on. It’s easy ... and not
only do you eliminate the wear and tear of extra trips by our
service trucks; you also help yourself by restoring service imme-
diately without waiting for the serviceman . .. who may be delayed
these busy w-artime days.

Expresses Appreciation
(Political Advertisement;
I desire to express Io the voters of Montague
County my sincere appreciation of your generous
support in my behalf during the campaign and
primary e*ection last Saturday, July 25, 1942.
I will ever remain grateful and indebted to my
friends who so loyally worked for and supported
me in the race for the office of Sheriff.
Many of you have assured me of your support
during the run-off campaign to be held on
August 22nd, and I assure you that no one will
appreciate more than Bedford Henley the vote
and support of the citizens of Montague County
on August 22nd.
I have tried to run a clean race and feel that I
have done so and expect to continue the same
kind of clean campaign in the run-off.
The people of Montague County know me and
know the kind of officer I have made and I as-
sure you that if I am elected your Sheriff I
will put my heart and soul into the office and
give the best that is in me to merit the con-
fidence you have p>aced in me.
Again expressing my thanks and appreciation
for the vote given me last Saturday and as-
suring you that I will appreciate the vote and
influence of every voter in Montague County
who sees fit to support me in the run-off elec-
tion on August 22nd, 1942.

Vulcanizing
You can’t buy new tires or have old ones re-capped
or re-treaded, but you can still have those breaks
and holes vulcanized.
WHY FUSES "BLOW"
Fuse "blow outs" are usually
due to wornout, damaged
or loosely-connected appli-
ance cords, or to circuits
overloaded with too many
j appliances and lights. With-
out fuses, your house wiring
might be damaged They
are electric "safety valves.”
HOW TO TELL A "BLOWN" FUSE
Notice metal link under
window of fuse. It is de-
signed to carry a measured
amount of current. When a
circuit is overloaded or
"shorted,” the link melts or
"blows out," and the cur-
rent stops. The melted link
and scorched spot under
window indicate a blown
fuse.
