The House of Representatives
resumed its labors Monday, but
with less enthusiasm than was
heretofore displayed. The mem-
bers are tired and from the way
things are taking shape this ses-
sion could last longer than had
been anticipated. The big ap-
propriation bills have been con-
sidered by both houses and they
are by no means in agreement
on the amount that should be
spent. In the near future the
Speaker of the House will name
members of the conference com-
mittee which will attempt to ef-
fect a compromise between the
two houses. The governor has in-
sisted that this Legislature put
through a building program for
the eleemosynary institutions.
This could bring about new taxes.
The House considered HB No.
150 Monday. It proposes to re-
quire auction sale barns to keep
a record of the license plates of
all vehicles hauling stock to the
barn. Data would be required

the 47th straight year as Spen-

he’ll continue to clean the city
thoroughfares with a broom, just
as he always has done.
Love is non-commital about re-
ports of recent weeks the coun-
cil now has definite plans to pro-
vide him with some such mechan-
ical device. The members’ of the
city governing body have volun-
teered to donate their annual
salary of $60 each toward buying
street cleaning equipment. Mayor
Eddie Farmer says he will match
the sum contributed by council.
Meanwhile, Love continues to
report for work each morning at
3:00 o’clock and stay on the job
until daylight. Police Chief Er-
nest Barnes, who formerly work-
ed the night shift, says he could
set his watch by the veteran
city employe’s appearance.
Love is considered the only
living person to know the com-
plete Spencer sewage system from
memory. Many of the lines were
installed years ago, and no blue-
prints were made of their routes.

LONDON, (A) — Bernard Shaw
has written a play about the
world after atomic bombing. It’s
called “Far-Fetched Fables" and
will be .published before August, i
So the 92-year-old playwright
told a reporter who saw the play ,
' listed to Shaw’s credit in the 1949
edition of “Who’s Who” and tele-
phoned him to find out about it. i
Shaw’s biography in the book, 1
supplied by himself, still gives j
his recreation as “being past 90.”
A feast of a famine is a pretty
good description of the feed situ-
ation many cows face every year.
Green growing crops have plenty
of all the nutrients needed in a
good ration, especially protein
and vitamin A.
And the silo offers the best
storage means for these nutrients
until they’re needed. Making
good hay early in the season pre-
sents a problem because spring
weather favors growth rather
than, drying out processes need-
ed for silage.
As a result, lots of the good
hay is lost ,or hay of poor quali-
ty is made into silage. With every
crop, there’s a best time for har-
vesting to get the highest nutrient
value. Good silage can be made
from hay and grass crops, with-
out the use of preservative, by
means of the wilting method.
With a little practice, farmers
can learn to tell the best time
the crop is ready for siloing. When
a crop has wilted slightly, it ap-
pears a little lighter in color, and
the leaves and stems will be limp
but not dry and curled. Twist-
ing will pring the moisture out of
the stems, but no free moisture
will run off.
4-H CLUB NEWS
One of the high lights of a 4-H
club is to attend the annual
roundup, which is held at Texas
A.&M. College each year.
This year, Titus County will
be represented by two boys who
have been picked for their re-
cord in club work.
They will leave Mt. Pleasant
on June 13 and go to the round
up by bus and return some time
Wednesday afternoon, June 15.
One nice thing about the trip
is that the boys will be meeting
with other top notch club boys
and girls from all over the State
of Texas.
In addition to having a nice
visit and vacation, there are many
educational features of the round-
up.
the Italian treasury.
The black-market-in-reverse is
a thriving business. It’s par-
i ticularly a good deal for the ho-
if the trend on your farm is
toward more pasture and forage
production you’ll need seed, for
new planting or reseeding. Grass
and legume seed are not ,too
plentiful, and they are expensive.
Growing and saving^your own is
mighty good insurance and con-
siderably less expensive.
There is plenty of some pasture
grass seed ready-grown and wait-
ing lor someone to harvest them.
One of these is rescue grass. It
grows in abundance along roads,
ditches, fencerows and in other
protected places, and is well
known to most Texans. Its seed
branches droop with the heavy
ripening crop of seed, while mer-
chants import seed from Aus-
tralia.
Rescue can be harvested with
a combilne. When the seed are
ripe enough to shatter, it’s ready
for combining. Before shattering
begins, it can be moved with a
‘windrower or windrowed with
a rake or cut with a broadcast
binder, but not tied. The seed-
hay should be allowed to dry for
about four days, depending upon
the weather. Threshed seed must
be spread under a shelter until
it is dry enough for storage, but
if you plan to plant immediately
by spreading the seed-hay, most
any method of harvesting can be
used.
Dallis grass seed, likewise, is
going to waste in the Gulf Coast
area and in many sections of
East Texas. It can be mowed,
raked and the seed-hay spread or
scattered where you want it. Disk
it in, says Grisham, for dallis
grass grows better from that me-
thod of seeding than any other.
Many of the clovers produce
heavy seed crops that can be
saved by similar harvesting me-
thods or by sweeping up the seed
by hand. Then there is a com-
mercial, tractor operated machine
that sucks up the seed and blows
them back into a trailer. Regard-
less of the harvesting method to
be used,, save the seed that can
make your pasture better, you
may have trouble finding a sup-
ply of seed when you need it.
