Signing of men for the con-
struction of the WPA farm to
market road from Deport to a
point west of Milton was com-
pleted Monday and operations
were started in the vicinity of
tne Martin school.
Drainage structures are be-
ing built and grading done un-
til a full supply of rock for sur-
facing, which is being blasted
from the Robert Harvey farm,
is available. An allotment of
over $21,000 was made by the
Works' Progress Administra-
tion recently for building the
road and provisions were in-
cluded for the employment of
62 men.
The -road, which follows ap-
proximately the existing route
to Milton, will intersect a sim-
ilar WPA road which has been
under construction for ten days
extending from Pattonville to
- Minter. Other projects link
Minter with Highway 24 twelve
miles south of Paris and the
system when completed will
offer a short cut over a hard
surfaced road from Deport to
Dallas and other points on the
south highway. It will also
permit Milton and Minter
farmers to get to Deport 365
days in the year.

not a good test. The best test
for a suspected stone meteor-
ite is- to grind a little spot on
it with an emery or corborun-
dum wheel, and if little bits of
metal (iron) appear on the
ground surface, the object is
almost certainly a meteorite.
Some large stone meteorites
weighing over 300 pounds,
wene found near McKinney
over 60 years ago, and a small
2 pound stone fell near Troup
in 1917. These are the neas-
est stone meteorite localities in
Texas-, with regard to Deport.
Monnig further stated that
he will gladly pass on any sus-
pected stone meteorites, and
will furnish interested parties
with more information at no
charge. He is gathering a col-
lection of meteorites, which

The world stock of American
cotton, including unpicked, was
about 16,981,000 bales at the
end of October compared with
17,295,000 bales a year ago
and the average end-October
stock for the last five years of
20,071,000 bales. At the be-
ginning of this year, all for-
eign consumers had only a
small stock of American cot-
ton, a fact that doubtless con-

Payment twill be not less
than five cents per pound for
the average yield of line cotton
on the land withheld from pro-
duction. Division of payment
will be 371/2 per cent I to the
landlord, 12^ per cent) to the
furnisher of work stock and
tools, and the remaining 50
per cent is to be divided in the
same proportion that the cot-
ton or its proceeds is divided.
Signers agree to keep the
same number of tenants' as the
preceding year, in so far as is
economically practical, and not
to decrease the percentage in
cotton the tenants were allowed
the preceding year. Adjusted
acres may be used for the pro-
duction of food and feee to be
used on the farm, but the
acreage growing crops for sale
is- not to be increased. The new
plan wil ^increase the benefit
payments to sharecroppers and
nonmanaging share tenants.

Details of a simpler, more
flexible four-year cotton adjust-
ment contract to be offered
growers to replace the contract
expiring this year have been
announced by the secretary'of
agriculture. The contract cov-
ers the four succeeding years
beginning with 1936, but re-
lease may be obtained at the
end of any year, provided no-
tice of that intention is given
the AAA before Dec. 1 of the
terminating year. The secre-
tary may end all contracts at
the end of any year by giving
notice to that effect on Nov.
15 preceding.
Each state will receive a
quota of allowable acres to be
allotted to counties, but 10 per
cent will be held for adjust-
ment of individuals and coun-
ties by the state cotton board.
States are given the choice
of several periods' from which
to arrive at their base, in or-
der to take care of low product-
ion periods in certain sections,
The question is asked by Os-
car E. Monnig, amateur as-
tronomer of Ft. Worth, who
has been collecting from the
finders many of the iron me-
teorites which have been found
near Deport.
Monnig states that there is
a large block of counties in
Northeast Texas in which no
stone meteorites' have ever
been found, but he points1 out
that results obtained in other
areas make it highly likely
that there are some stone me-
teorites in this' region. Such
objects are much more common
than was once supposed, the
difficulty being that most peo-
ple do not know what they
look like, and hence generally
pass them by.
Stone meteorites have a

tenants, and landowners ■ several car- of sand and gravel

At 11 o’clock Saturday morn-
ing bids will be opened and
contracts let for Deport’s pro-
posed $63,636 water-sewer sys-
tem and the new $40,000 school
building. Bidders have until
that hour to submit their pro-
posals for the two projects,
both of which were made pos-
sible through federal PWA
grants and local bond issues.
Resident, tax-paying voters
authorized an issue of $19,000
in general obligation bonds and
$26,000 in bonds secured by
the system and its income at
an election held in October. A
PWA grant of $28,636 had pre-
viously been approved and al-
lotted.
A Public Works grant of
$18,000 for use in constructing
a new high school building and
for making extensive improve-
ments on the existing structure
to be used as a ward school was
made almost concurrently with
the water-sewer grant. A
$22,000 bond issue to supple-
ment the federal funds' for this
project was voted in October.
State aid to the Deport school
was raised from $290 last year
to approximately $2,400 for
this term after a proposal con-
tained in the bond election rais-
ing the school tax $1 per $100
valuation was approved.
Officials of the state public
school fund, to which the
school bonds will be sold, re-
r .u j .l xr .cently agreed to purchase the
tified of the death of Vage | bonds at four and one-half per
occurred ; cent instead of five per cent as
voted. Bonds for the water
and sewer system, to be sold to
the PWA, bear four per cent.
Plans, specifications and
transcripts' of the bond issues
have advanced as far through
legal channels as is possible
until after the bids are opened,
according to' school and city
officials. All proceedings are
said to be in a favorable status.
