The first agricultural tour of
McCulloch Countj- in recent years
was a successful venture with
more than 100 farmers, ranchers
and businessmen of this locality
joining the motorcade to inspect
farms in the county, Wednesday.
Sponsored by the Brady Junior
Chamber of Commerce, the tour
was arranged for the purpose of
showing residents of each com-
munity what was going on in ag-
riculture in the other communi-
ties.
At noon, a bountiful barbecue
dinner, prepared bj- Jim Schafer,
was served the group.
County A cent Norvel McCauley
acted as spokesman for the group,
pointing out the various crops ex-
amined and explaining the meth-
od- used bj- the farmer. Each
owner was also called upon to
tell of his experience in gaining
the results seen by the visitors.
The tour started from South
Blackburn Street near the First
Methodist Church. Each car com-
posing the motorcade carried pas-
i sengers fium different parts of
[ the county so that the visiting
farmers could visit and fellow-
ship with agricultural men from
other localities.
First stop was made at the E.
I O. Henderson farm at Voca where
I vetch and rye were observed. The
same crops were inspected at the
E. L. Bodennamer place in that
vlcxnunu-’i‘^™. ..r —
The orchard of John Cox on
the old Mason road was visited
and barns and pens on the ranch
of Dick Winters were inspected.
In this same locality, Dodge, the
Miller Brothers farm was visited
and clover and grain fields ob-
served.
A study- of soil was made at the
Eddie Burkland farm and wheat

it’s miraculous what a “Mil-
Dollar” rain will do for the |
country. West Texas is smiling
from ear to ear as a result of the '
precipitation last week, and while
McCulloch County can use some
more of the same to flush tanks
and streams, nevertheless the far-
mer, the rancher and the busi-
nessman are jubilant. The coun-
tryside has taken on a prettier
coat of green, and one -an literally

Not only was West Texas given
a “shot in the arm” by last
week’s fine rains, but the Su-
preme Court likewise provided
Texas and the South a “pepper-
upper” when it upheld an Inter-
state commerce Commission de-
cision on ‘class freight rates”.
This was a project for which the !

Flood Control For Brady Studied As
Model Used To Determine Current Flow
Vicksburg, Miss., May 15.
bP)—The question that the
folks in Brady, Tex., ask—
How can we keep Brady’
Creek from flooding our
town?—has an answer here
in the hills of Mississippi.
The answer is not in words
but in a demonstration—on a
toy-like but accurately-scaled
model of the sometimes dry,
sometimes swollen Texas
stream. Similar flood prob-
lems in many American com-
munities are studied here.
The model at Vicksburg is I
fitted out with a system of
levees and a dredged channel
that, if reproduced at full
size and at a cost in excess
of a million dollars, would
guarantee the town of Brady
protection from floods more
than twice the volume of the
record 1938 innundation.

250 model studies conducted
