THE BONHAM TTexasT HERALD, THURSDAY, OCT. 24, 1963
Disaster Tag Asked
For Fannin County
A request that Fannin county would be able to cut and bale
be declared a drought disaster
area has been prepared for
filing with the state disaster
committee.
Should the county be declared
a disaster area, farmers and
ranchers would be allowed to
graze and harvest hay from
land placed in the conservation
reserve and the diverted acres
in the feed grain program.
The petiton asking that Fannin
county be declared a disaster
area will be forwarded to the
state office at College Station,
and if given approval there, it
will be forwarded to the nation-
al office in Washington for fin-
al action.
Lamar, Grayson, and Collin
counties in the North Texas area
have filed requests that they be
designated as drought disaster
areas.
If the area is declared a
drought disaster area, farmers
hay from land placed in the
Conservation Reserve and the
land diverted under the Feed
Gran and Wheat Stabilization
program on a payment of $6.50
per acre.
A charge of $1.30 per acre per
month would be charged for
grazing CR land. No charge is
made for grazing land diverted
under the Feed Grain and
Wheat Stabilization program.
Rainfall for Bonham during
the frst nine months of 1963 had
been 17 inches as compared to
33 inches for the same period
of 1962.
Each individual producer will
be notified of the action of the
national disaster committee and
are being advised not to cut bay
or graze grass on the land until
so notified by the county com-
mittee.
Individual applications
be filed by the farmers
must
the right to graze or cut hay
from the land. . a
Members of the county disas-
ter committee are Ray Grish-
am, chairman, representing the
ASC; County Agent Wayne
Cranfill, Texas A&M Extension
Service, and Ray Wylie, FHA.
Members of the committee
stressed the fact that application
must be processed and approved
by the state and national offices
before the grass and hay would
become available.
The individual applications
must be made to the dsaster
committee through the Fannin
county ASC office and the pro-
ducer will then be given an
okay to graze or harvest the
hay on the land involved.
Rainfall has been normal in
some areas of the county, but
is far below normal in most
areas of the county, members
for of the committee said.
I Beauty Contest Saturday Night
16 Vie For Miss County Fair
Cake Judges
To Get Only
A Tiny Bite
Fannin county’s finest cake
bakers, man or woman, will be
competing for blue ribbon hon-
ors Saturday at the Fannin
County Community fair. ;
And in connection with this
phase of the competition, a
complicated problem had to be
solved since the cakes are to
be both judged and sold at auc-
tion. .
The problem was: How can
a cake be judged without tast-
ing it, and if it is cut and tast-
ed, how can it then be auction-
ed off to the highest bidder?
It has been worked out this
way. Judges will cut a tiny tri-
angular. bite from the base of
each cake for tasting and ar-
riving at their decision. , The
bite will be so small and neat-
ly taken that it is hoped the
appearance of some mighty
pretty cakes will not be mar-
red. dnor
Mrs. Mable London, county
home demonstration agent,
said this was the only solution
the committee was able to ar-
rive at — promising that the
buyer at the auction won’t have
enough of their cake gone to
miss it — unless, of course, the
judges like a' cake so much they
become gullible.
The bake baking contest will
be open to any person, man,
woman or child, wishing to en-
ter. The only* qualification is
that the cake becomes the prop-
erty of the fair board for auc-
tioning off after the judging.
All cakes must be in place
at the armory building by judg-
ing time at 10 o’clock Saturday
morning and the auction will be
held at 2 p.m. Money received
from sale of the cakes will go
into the fund to help defray ex-
penses of the fair.

Illustrated above are a mere 36 of the 166 electrical appliances which
today are available for use in and around the home. How many of the
36 do you have? What others do you have that are not shown?
Fifty years ago, the principal use of electricity was for lighting. Today,
the majority of American homes has at least 13 different electrical ap-
pliances. But, whether you have a few less or considerably more than 13,
the point is that electricity serves in many ways besides providing light.
Electricity and electrically-operated devices play a vital role in giving
Americans a higher standard of living and greater productivity in busi-
ness, industry, and agriculture than any other people in the world.
Future contributions of the electric industry to our way of life may
well be even more revolutionary than those of the past. Whatever the
need for electric power in the years ahead, you can be confident that
under our unique American economic system, Texas Power & Light
Company and other investor-owned electric utility companies will meet
the need.
