I State Drafting
Regulations for
Bollworm Areas
J. E. McDonald, Commissioner
of Agriculture, said regulations
are being drawn to govern cotton
processing in twenty-one counties
infested by pink bollworm.
McDonald is working with fed-
eral authorities in drafting the
rules. They will be designed to
permit normal processing of cotton
and its products without harmful
effects from the pink bollworm.
Detailed conditions for the han-
dling of cottonseed in the infested
counties will be outlined for the
1951 cotton crop.
McDonald said all dealers, seed
breeders, oil nulls and others en-
gaged in the purchase, sale or
processing of cottonseed will be re-
quired to treat the cottonseed to
kill pink bollworms. •.
“This means cottonseed oil mills
will have to install facilities for
heating cottonseed or for fumigat-
ing it,” McDonald pointed out.
McDonald said that, until further
notice, untreated cottonseed may
be taken from the gin back to the
farm of origin for planting pur-
poses.
“Due to the considerable varia-
tion in planting dates for the coun-
ties involved, cultural requirements
involving stalk destruction will not
be announced until just prior to
planting time,” McDonald said.
Counties involved are Archer,
Bastrop, Bell, Bosque, Clay, Falls,
Hill, Hood, Jack, Johnson, Lee,
Limestone, McLennan, Milam, Palo
Pinto, Parker, Somervell, Stephens,
Travis, Williamson and Young.

Fire Facts & Figures
From Meridian Fire Dept.
The Circle Fire
We are indeed sorry that we
were unable to successfully combat
the recent fire at the Circle. We
are always glad to give our time
and efforts to combat the fire
demon within or without our city.
We deeply regret that water short-
age, brisk winds, and toxic gases
made the inferno uncontrollable.
Grass Fires
May we remind you again of
the danger of grass fires. Every
grass fire is a potential major
fire. We anticipate at least 20
such alarms between now and the
end of the year and some of them
may mean property loss. Never
before has this condition been so
prevalent in our town. Summer
rains produced waist-high grass
that has been killed by the recent
frost. Lack of fall rains has made
this grass extremely dry above and
below and this condition is always
conducive to a major grass fire
from a single spark.
Along this line may we urge
you not to burn trash without
watching it — whether or not you
have a container. Barrels start
more fires than burning trash in
the open, because no civic-minded
person would dare leave an open
fire. But the open fire that is
being watched is much safer than
the fire barrel left alone.
Our Regrets
Let us try to explain briefly
our position to so many of you
who have asked that we burn your
vacant lots. We cannot possibly
do this for everyone who has re-
quested this service. Our member-
ship is made up of men who are
working by the day or by the hour.
Their employers have generously
agreed to let the men off duty for
fire-fighting purposes when the
alarm is sounded, and it would
not be fair to ask them to do more.
We would not set fire to any
vacant lot unless we had enough
firemen present to fight a major
fire, and even then a fireman is
always reluctant to deliberately
“touch off” a fire. Let us sum it
up by quoting one of the mottos
of the fire service: “you light ’em,
we fight ’em".
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Cockrell and
daughter, Wanda Rose, of Austin,
visited with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Homer Rose, of Cedron.
Mountain Top H. D. Club.
Mountain Top H. D. Club met
in regular session Nov. 10. Mrs.
Barton was hostess at the Meridian
Lake. All enjoyed the cosy open
fire on such a cold day.
Seven members answered roll
call and welcome was given two
visitors.
The President gave a report of
the council meeting, and the cov-
ered dish supper held Nov. 18.
The Mountain Top Club will
have their Christmas Party Dec.
15, at Mrs. H. R. Routt’s.
There being no other business
the club adjourned to meet with
Mrs. Rufus Cosper, Nov. 24.
The hostess served delicious re-
freshments.—Rep orter.
Mrs. Hazel Gates, who was with
Dr. C. 0. Brown while he was in
Meridian, is now with the Brown
and Hansen Chiropractic Clinic of
Clifton as a technician.

Vv ith a single oven range, only if it is gas can you bake
and broil at the same time. You can bake rolls, potatoes
and a casserole dish while you broil meat in the separate
broiler.
"Claims” of speed don’t mean a thing. But seeing is
believing. Here you see why gas is fastest and most effi-
cient—why 96 out of 100 women in this area cook with
gas.
If your range has seen its best days, now is a good time
to get a modern gas range. They cost less. They operate
for less than 14 the cost of non-flame ranges. Gas burners
last a lifetime; don’t burn out. No special, expensive
utensils are needed. No costly installation charge is added
(to the purchase price. Buy a modern gas range.
Speed you can see. Bring 12-
inch of water to a boil. Add
vegetables and cover.Time re-
quired—two to three min-
utes! Turn burner to .simmer
speed which completes cook-
ing.

Warm up a gas burner? You
don’t have to! The second it’s
on, it’s at maximum heat. No
other range can be fast as
gas. Or as efficient. The flame
gives tailored heat—fits itself
to any size or shape pan. Less
waste heat.
