Rains ««r* apparently pretty
general over Cherokee County
last week. Reports indicated
around 2 inches average rain-
fall for most parts of the Co.
unty. However it was too late
to save some crops. Much
reseeding crimson clover has
already come up and died a
couple of times. Only time
will tell whether there is en-
ough hard seed left for it to
come up again. Many farmers
also lost ryegrass planted in
September and October.
There was enough moisture
for it to come up, but a
combination of dry weather
and hot sun killed it.
Clover and ryegrass may
still be planted if you need
late winter and early spring
grazing. A hard freeze about
the time the plants come up
might kill the clover. Other
than this, chances for es-
tablishment would be good.
Most winter small grains,
planted (0r stocker calves and
supplemental grazing for
cows, did pull through-hut
barely. Someone told me last
week that their small grains
had started to die and that
another week or two of dry
weather would have been too
much.
Pastures that have been gra.
zed short need a rest and
shot of nitrogen to give them
a chance to come back.

Dr. W.F.. Black, Extension
Economist and marketing sp-
ecialist from Texas A &M Uni-
versity, spoke to a group of
interested persons at a noon
luncheon meeting last Thurs-
day in Rusk, Subject under
discussion was cooperative
marketing of finished hogs and
exploration and feasibility of
a cooperative hog slaughter-
ing plant.
Interest was strong and it is
anticipated that additional
meetings will be held in the
East Texas area in the near
future.
Doug Maxwell and Mike Sto-
vail of Rusk were elected
to represent Cherokee Co-
unty producers if areawide
interest develops.

Some 65,000 farmers and
ranchers in Texas are rec-
eiving crop or livestock qu-
estionaires during late Nov.
ember and early December
from the Texas Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service.
1 urge each of you that re-
ceives one of these to fill
it out as accurately as pos.
sible and mail it back pro-
mptly. The^e samplings are
used to give the most accur-
ate estimates possible of the
agricultural production for
each county and the State of
Texas.

1 wish all of you readers a
happy Thanksgiving holiday.
This is a good occasion to stop
and thank Cor!, as our fore-
fathers did, for the bountiful
harvest of agricultural pro-
ducts and for the freedom we
enjoy in this Country of ours.
Houston Whites'
Entries Place
At Flower Show
Mr. and Mrs. Houston Wh-
ite of Rusk, growers of
show Chrysanthemums won
13 first places, six second,
four third and two honorable
mention on their entries in
the Kilgore Chrysanthemum
Show November 13.14th.
Mr. and Mrs. White grow
these flowers as a hobby.
This is their fifth ami most
successful year. They are
members ofChapterTwo.Na.
tional Chrysanthemum Soc-
iety which sponsors an annual
show.
Exhibitors from any chapter

some 500 hundred entries
there.
Types of flowers entered

ills, spoor, and pompoms.
Thanksgiving is tradition U> a lime" to give thanks. Thanks
for the many things we have and thanks for the courage of our
forefathers to help our country grow so we may have the-
things we have.
Thanksgiving is many things to many people.
To many it is only a day off from work. To others it is
a time for family and friends to get together for a bountiful
meal with many traditional items on the menu.
Visiting with loveJ ones is a form of recreation while
others cheer the action on the screen as their favorite
team runs for a touchdown.
Thanksgiving can also be lost among the hustle and bustle
of her sister holiday—Christmas.
As has been said many times, many of us forget the true
meaning of many ol our traditional holidays.
As we Americans sit down to our traditional turkey and
dressing this Thanksgiving Day in home¿ across the nation
we have much to be thankful for. Needless to say, there are
factors which give cause for great concern, both on the
domestic and international scenes, but if we look deep
enough, we shall find unmistakable reasons for Thanks-
giving.
While we are grateful for a special day when we can join
with others all over the country in counting our blessings
and thanking God for them, we are still challenged to make
every day a Thanksgiving Day as we recall the blessings
that ever surround us.
Consider the many liberties we enjoy in this nation and be
thankful for the freedom to work so we can have a day
off, for the freedom to worship and our right to free speech
and free elections.
There is much we can be thankful for if we remember
there is a day set aside for this purpose. And this over-
flowing of good should daily remind us to pray for peace
throughout the world so that all mankind may Uve in har-
mony and enjoy the fruits, other than those in our salads, of a
better life.
Poem Relates
Truth, Is
Very Timely
(Editor's Note: The follow,
ing poem was taken from a
recent edition of the Jasper
News Boy. The author is
unknown.)
Remeber when hippie meant
big in the hips,
And a trip involved
travel in cars, planes
and ships?
When pot was a vessel for
cooking things in,
And hooked was what
grandmother's rugs may
have been?
When fix was a verb that
meant mend or repair.
And be.in meant merely
existing somewhere?
When neat meant will-
organized, tidy and clean.
And grass was a ground
cover, normally green?
When groovy meant furrow-
ed with channels and hol-
lows.
And birds were winged
creatures, like robins
and swallows?
When fuzz was a sub-
stance, real fluffy,
like lint.
And bread came from
bakeries and not from
the mint?
When roll meant a bun,
and rock was a stone.
And hang-up was something
you did with the phone?
It's groovy, man groovy,
but English it's not.
Methinks that our lan-
guage is going to pot."
THE
LIONS
DEN
By: E. B. Musitk, Jr.
If you plan to go to the
lions Club this Thursday-
don't. We will skip this Th-
ursday and then on Wednes.
day December 1, we will be
meeting with the Rotary Club.
According to Lion Ike Dan-
iel cows are slowest to learn.
They just won't pay attention.
Seems anything you tell them
goes in one ear and out the
udder.
Our guests last Thursday
Mr. Raymond Ross Vermil-
lion and Mr. Marshall Petty.
Hope these two will soon be-
come Rusk Lions. Lion
President Glen Stanley re.
ported that the board of dir-
ectors voted to recommend
to the membership that a
Whirlpool Bath be purchased
for use at the Rusk Memorial
Hospital. It was a unanimous
decision. The Rusk Lions
feel that the Rusk Memorial
Hospital is a great asset to
our city and community and
that everything possible sh-
ould be done to make it com-
parable with other hospitals in
our area. Lion Deputy Dis-
trict Governor Ike Daniel
is to be commended for this
fine idea.
Lion J.F. Futch, Director of
the Li oris Crippled Chi^ren
Camp, was Introduced by Lion
Robert von Doenhoff as our
program. Lion Futch pr«s-.
ented a film along with his
comments. This Lions Crip-
pled Chlldrens Camp is such
a great thing for the Lions of
Texas. Something every Lion
should be very proud of
13,500 crippled children have
gone through this camp since
it was organized in 1951 at no
cost whatsoever to them. Then
a few years ago after the
summer was over a program
was started for the blind and
this has also been a tremen-
dous success. Now the latest
program for the Texas Lions
is a camp for the diabetic
children. This camp is loca-
ted near Houston and Galves-
ton because of the necessity
of Doctors to be present from
these two cities. We Lions
pay $3.00 each year in dues
to support all three of these
camps. Isn't it great to be
a Lion? We now own 540
acres of land with many be-
autiful buildings valuedat $1,-
950,000.00.
We are very proud to have
Mr. Bob Wimberly as a new
member inducted by Lion von
Doenhoff.
