AUSTIN—The political pot was
off to a vigorous boil in Texas this
Harry Hines, highway commis-
sioner appointed five years ago by
Jimmy Allred, tossed his hat into
the ring with a forma! announce-
ment for Governor. Hines will be
a conservative candidate, pledging
himself to avoid promises that
cannot be fulfilled. He says, how-

The Caldwell News is authorized
to announce the following can-

the July Democratic primary:
and pledges himself to work co-
operatively with the Legislature—
¡stead of blasting at the solons who
don't agree witih h's views—to-

(daa is that ths necessary money to
pay reasonable pensions to those
actually in need, and to provide
funds for dependent children, the
blind and teachers' pensions, can be
raised by moderate increases in ex-
isting taxes, without wrecking any
one line of industry. His own suc-
cessful business experience, com-
bined with his background as an
important appointive State official,
qualify him, in the opinion of his
friends. He may be the man to give
O'Daniel a race for re-election, if
O'Daniel stays in, and the cam-
paign develops. Hines pledged him-
self flatly against the sales tax.
If O'Daniel does not run— and
there are few how think he will not
—Lt. Gov. Coke Stevenson will get
in, Ernest O. Thompson, railroad
commissioners, has told his friends
that he certainly will try again,
making his announcement in April.
Albert Derden, legislator from
Marlin, has already announced, and
there may be others.

The girls' 4-H club met with our

Monday, February 19, 1940, in
which we checked our charts, "Are

discovered how inr.ny of the girls
have their apron material. Due to
some difficulties just a few of the
members have their material yet,
but we all intend to have it by our
next meeting with Misr Poulds.

U. S. Supreme Court and sent back
to the State courts. It is now on
the way up again. If the State wins
it, nearly 300 cities and towns will
get reduced gas rates and refunds
for several years. Culberson seeks
to succeed Smith on the commis-
sion, so he can finish up the job ho
started.

Dallasite who ran a spectacular

time for Lieutenant Governor, is

Sheppard Out for Record
United States Senator Morris
Sheppard, regarded by many as
the canniest political mind in
Texas, lost no time in announcing
this week that he will seek re-elcc-
tion to the Senate, following the
publication of stories from Austin
that Attorney General Gerald Mann
might seek a Senate seat in 1942,
and that Sheppard might not run.
The Senior senator wrote that he
is out for a record—he seeks to
serve longer than any other member
of congress and another term would
give him that distinction. Sheppard
entered congress as a member of
the House on October 11, 1902, and
moved up to the Senate in 1913.
Only five others have served longer
in history, and another six-year
term would extend Sheppard'
service beyond all the«o.

Political Respite
Mm. Robert A. Taft, wife af Om
able valued at $112,000. Many
produced three to five crops in
1989.
The frame gardens, protected j surface.
against wind and extremes of heat Frame gardens often yield 10
and cold, and usually subirrifrated, times the volume of vegetables that
were especially valuable in a year can be produced on a similar area
when dought cut vegetable yields
over a large portion of the state.
The idea of the frame garden
for out-of-season vegetable produc-
tion goes back a number of years
ago to Castro Cunty, where Mr.
and Mrs. Charley Heck decided that
their family needed fresh vegeta-
bles nnd turned to cold frames as
a means of growing them in spit"
of limited rainfall, winds, and
blowing sand on their wheat farm.
Later, according to Jennie Camp,
specialist in home production plan-
ning with the Texas A. and M. Ex-
tension Service, a home demon-
stration agent was employed by
Castro County. This agent, Izora
Clark, parsed on word of the Heck's
success to other farm women and
to neighboring home demonstration
agents.
By 1936 the idea had spread to
a number of counties in the South
Plains area, and Grace I. Neely,
extension specialist in food preserv-
ation, investigated the plan. By
1986 the Extension Service had
adopted < he system as a standard
recommendation.
The secret of the success of the
in open gardens.
The vegetables, becaune they
grow rapidly and are protected
from sudden changes in tempera-
ture, are of surprising flavor and
tenderness.
The main value of the frame gar-
den from the standpoint of nutri-
tional expedí, however, is that they
produce vegetables early in the
spring and late in the summer at
a time when the ordinary garden
is bare. In some sections of. the
state, the frame garden is the only
source of fresh vegetables.
The miniature gardens are also
ideally adopted for use in towns
and cities, Miss Camp pointed out.
The 300 per cent increase in the
number of frame gardens in 1039
over the 1988 total is cited as evi-
dence of practical value of the sys-
tem.
Detailed information as to ibty
construction and culture of frawtff
gardens is contained in an Exten-
sion Service circular, C-121, "Frame
Garden SuggijiAons," which can be
