Where Son
Wounded
It. K. Black has returned from
Brooks General Hospital, San
Antonio, where he visited his
son, S. Sgt. Reeves K. Black, who
was critically wounded while
serving with E company, 142d
Infantry, in Italy, on Feb. 11.
Sgt. Black was shot through
the arm, the shell penetrating
his ribs, breaking three, tearing
through his lung and lodging in
his spine. Although his legs and
arms are paralysed, he can move
several fingers and the doctors
•in charge say he will recover.
His sister, Mrs. John Galloway
and her husband, drove there to
accompany the father home.
The sergeant has been in ser-
vice since the guard unit was
mobilized in 19-10. lie landed
July 3 at Charleston, S. C.,
where he spent a week in a gen-
eral hospital before being sent to
Texas.

Farm Front
(Reg. U. S. Fat. Off.)
Farm leaders are keeping care-
ful tabs on the Democratic con-
vention. They are present in
Chicago to watch developments
and urge a strong farm plank,
just as they were when the Re-
publicans met to nominate theii
candidates.
One of the leaders present to
advise Democratic platform mak
kers on agricultural affairs is
Albert Goss, head .of the national
grange. Goss hopes the party's
farm plank will call for adequte
farm prices, high production and
lull employment. Says Goss: "We
must avert the tragic error of
allowing abundance to destroy
its producer."
President James Patton of the
National Farmers union is also
urging the Democrats to adopt
policies which would enable far-
mers to get their full share in
post war prosperity. Anil it's
Patton's hope that the pariy
will take a stand against a num-
ber of changes in the farm se-
curity administration which have
been approved by congress.
Representatives of other farm
groups are also present in Chi-
cago to place their views and
recommendations before the plat-
form makers. Incidentally, lead-
ers are expected to complete the
party's farm and other domes-
tic planks by tonight.
The USDA epects milk pro-
duction this year to be at least
as great as it was last year. In
other words, about 118,000,000
pounds of milk are in prospect
Production is holding at a
high level—the department says
—owing to livestock-feed ratios
which are more favorable for
dairy production than for other
livestock enterprises.
June pasture conditions were
described as the most favorable
for June in the past 22 years.
Milk production per cow is
down slightly but this is offset
| by the greater number of milk
I cows on farms.
I Butterfat prices declined a
j bit in June but were the highest
I for that month than in any oth-
i er June since 1920.
The War Food Administration
| has lost one of its high officials
j in the death of William G. Meal,
j He was chief of fruit and vege-
" table distribution. Funeral ser-
j vices will be held for Mr.
! Meal at Ithaca, New York to-
day. He was born at nearby
Lockport, New York, in 1900.
He first joined the USDA in
1929.
Harrison Salisbury — one of
the United Press correspondents
in Europe—has found what ho
describes as Russia's "Garden of

GARLK TO HAVE LEAD
IN 'STRANGE ADVENTURE'
HOLLYWOOD. (UP)—Metro-
Goklwyn-Mayer announces that
Major Clark Gable will return
to the screen with the leading
role in "Strange Adventure"—
a story based on the Clyde Da-
vis novel, "The Anointed."
Gable now is vacationing in
Oregon. He will start work on
the picture as soon as he finish-
es editing the films he made
over Europe for the Army Air
Forces.
to the thirsting acres of Usbek-
isran, it was known as "starva-
tion steppes."
Solciers have pitched in to
help farmers with many an em-
e' feiicy job. They frequently
give up furloughs in order to
help with harvests. Recently th_>
i >b of unloading grain cars in
t:ie larger ternvnals became '\o
h g for the regular labor force
t> handle. The fii-ight ya'tls at
Al /a and Enid, Oklahoma —
a*- ■ r.g others—wire swamrji i.
Tiie war manpower comr.ii--i n
rtpoits that 2"i soldiers tcn-k
o er and the si . ration was sav
c..t .'nd 30 sol hers gave up a
? < ui leave to unload C'^ui
at Wichita Fall?, Texa#;.
Sometimes after helping to
harvest crops, soldiers *on fur-
lough turn in and help process
food. This has been true in Mis-
souri and Oregon. Men in uni-
form helped to get in a potato
crop at Moses Lake, Washing-
ton which might have been lost
otherwise. The stockyards at
Denver, Colorado had a rush sea-
son recently. Officials were migh-
ty pleased when 138 soldiers
took part-time jobs in the yards.
Furloughs and leaves are
mighty precious to boys in uni-
form. But the manpower com-
mission reports that they can't
abide being idle while an impor-
tant war job remains to be
done. Thousands of them re-
gard crop harvesting as a num-
ber one war job. That's why so
many of them cheerfully give
up furloughs to spend their days
in hot fields rather than lolling
on the front porch at home.
Cotton One of Most
Important Assets
DALLAS, July 18. — Cotton-
seed makes cotton an essential
food anil feed crop and one of
the most important economic as-
sets for Texas and the nation,
speakers told the final session
of the' Cotton Research Con-
gress, sponsored by the State-
Wide Cotton Committee of Tex-
as, here on July 14.
"It is a recognized fact that
Cottonseed meal has been and
is today the cheapest and best
protein concentrate for livestock
in Texas," said E. R. Eudaly,
Texas Extension Dairyman. "The
roughages in Texas in most cas-
es are too low in phosphorous
to meet the needs of our live-
stock. Cottonseed meal is high
in phosphorous. Therefore, cot-
tonseed meal serves a two-fold
purpose by furnishing a good,
cheap source of protein and
phosphorous."
Pointing out that the 1943 cot-
tonseed crop brought Texas far-
met s- $-17,877,000 cash income, T.
H. Hughston, oil mill manager
at McKinney, lold the Congress
that this was more than twice
as much revenue as was receiv-
ed from all of the grapefruit
raised in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, seven million dollars
more than the combined cash
income from all feed grains and
hays, twice as great as the in-
come from peanuts, and four
hundred and twenty-four times
as much cash as farmers re-
ceived last season from Texas-
grown soybeans.
Hughston said that Texas cot-
tonseed, alone, brought more
cash to growers last year than
all crops produced in any one
of the following state: West Vir-
ginia, Delaware, Vermont, Wy-
oming, New Hampshire, Utah,
New Mexico, Connecticut, Ne-
vada or Rhode Island.
In employment, expenditures
lor materials and services ren-
\ dered to farmers and livestock
producers, over 140 operating
cotton oil mills rank as one of
the major industries of Texas,
and are major assets to the 120
Texas towns and cities in which
they are located.
Stressing the national impor-
tance of cottonseed as a leading
source of fat essential in the
human diet, A. G. Hopkins, pre-
.-.ident of a cottonseed oil food
manufacturing plant at Sher-
man, .discussed the future signi-
ficance of cottonseed oil in food
production.
A Cecil Wamble, College Sta-
tion. cottonseed research direc-
tor for the Cotton Research Com-
mittee of Texas, brought out the
importance of research in de-
veloping new uses for cotton-

Too Embarrassing
to Talk About!
It is no lonper necessary to put up with
the trouble caused by Tin-Worms. Don't
let your child or yourself suffer that tor-
menting. embarrassing rectal itching, or
take chances with the internal distress.
Medical science has now discovered a
vrw and hiqhlu effective tray to deal with
this stubborn and troublesome infection.
This important scientific discovery is a
remarkable drug known as gentian violet.
It is the vital element in P-W. the new
Pin-Worm treatment developed by the
laboratories of Dr. D. Jayne & Son, Amer-
ica's leading specialists in worm medicines.
P-W tablets are small and easy to take,
and they act in a special way to deatroy
the ugly creatures.
Watch for the warning signs: itching
nose and seat, iim>nsy stomach, bed-wet-
ting. uneven appetite. Remember that now
there is a treatment that works on Pin-
Worms as no old-fashioned "worm syrup"
or "worm candy" could. So if you even sus-
I ect Pin Worms, get a bo* of P-W right
Hvvny. and follow the directions carefully.

After you freeze foods or desserts that require
fast freezing, turn the temperature control
half-way back to normal. This temperature
setting is sufficient on most refrigerators to
hold the food at freezing. After removing the
frozen food, turn the temperature control to
normal position.
When the temperature control is kept for long
periods at "cold" position, running time of
your refrigerator is increased and you wast£
refrigeration.
If you're leaving home for several days, turn
the temperature control to the warmest
setting. Do not shut off the refrigerator
completely, for very little current is used to
keep the food and ice cubes until you return.
