r HERALD
Statement
i the Voters
In Behalf Candi-
dacy for Sheriff
of Limestone Co.
To Th« Votert of Limestone
County:
Several months ago I mad* my
Announcement for Sheriff of this
County, so am now making my
formal statement. I am fifty-four
years old, have lived in Limestone
County for the past forty-six
years, was born in Alabama. My
father came to Texas in 1884, set-
tled t Cottonwood- south of Prairie
Hill and began farming as a share
tenant in 1805. I attended my first
school at Cottonwood. The follow-
ing year we moved to Callina west
of Coolidge, remained there until
1904. In 1905 I began farming for
guy self as a share tenant on the
Estat farm near Horn Hill, 1 have
dose my best at all times to make
a good citizen.
If elected Sheriff I promise that
I will enforce the laws to all alike
regardless of race, color or creed.
It is not the duty of the Sheriff,
aa I see it, to make laws or to de-
cide which h« will' enforce and
whiefc he will not enforce. If elect-
ed I shall enforce all the laws of
the State to the best of my ability.
I believe that the prevention of
is as much the duty of a
peace officer at Uw enforcement.
Many times an officer can tee
crimes in the process of formation
long before the crime is. committed.
Friendly advice given at the right
time and in the right way has help-
ed to keep many
of jail or the
I want the people to feel free to
come to me with any of their trou-
bles and I can assure you I will be
glad to help in any way I can. The
Sheriff's office, if I am elected,
will be open to all the people at all
time*.
Law enforcement ehould be bas-
ed on common sense, and genuine
regard for the rights of the peo-
ple. I expect to appoint deputies
whom the people can respect and
at the same time, men who will re-
spect the righte of the people.
Methods in use twenty years ago
in rounding up criminals are to a
great extent out of date today. Ef-
ficient identification facilities cou-
pled wth hearty cooperation of and
with all other law enforcement
agencies will go far to eradicate
crime. ,
I have tried to see every voter in
the County, but if I have missed
you, this it my personal appeal,
and if you should see fit to support
me on July 27th I shall ever be
grateful.

Filipinos Hear
Army Adviser's
Re-Ready Plea
MANILA <U.R>—There is no half
way point for any nation facing
aggression—it must either prepare
to defend itself to the last ditch or
capitulate at the first show of
force, Major William C. Dunckel,
of the staff of the United States
military mission in the Philippines,
told students of the University of
the Philiippines.
Major Dunckel, a field artillery
officer in the World War, emphat-
ically declared that it would be dis-
astrous for the Philippines to sit
idle, doing nothing to prepare
against possible aggression in the
belief no aggression would come.
Dunckel added that an unprepared
nation would always be under the
shadow of aggression and in dan-
ger of falling into abject slavery.
Appealing to the Filipino youth,
Dunckel *aid that "anything worth
while it worth all the sacrifice."
The Philippines, he said, was
worth all the sacrifice Its youth
could give. The loyalty and patriot-
ism of the Filipinos and their
known fighting qualities augured
well for the defense of the coun-
try't integrity, he added.
Praiting the Commonwealth's
"fartightednets" in adopting a na-
tional defente program, Dunckel
declared that preparedness would
be a safer guarantee than treaties.
Mrt. Mildred Goodwyn and
daughter. Mrt. Jack Adam* have
returned after a two weekt vaca-
tion trip to Boston, Mats, where
they visited their daughter and
titter. Mitt Ann Goodwyn. While

ton, San Antonio. Waco, Amaril-
lo, El Paso, and Port Arthur have

ering adoption of the new plan, he

FDR Considers
Calling Guards
For Training <
WASHINGTON, JuJy 12, <U.R)
—President Roosevelt said today
that he is considering calling up
the National Guard for intensive
training in a new step to streng-
then the reserve defenses of the
United States.
He revealed the possibility at
a press conference attended by
his new Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson.
He plans an immediate talk
with Stimson on the possibility
of mobilizing the guard* for
training.
The president revealed no de-
tails of the possible plans, ex
cept to admit that it was one of
several possibilities which he was
taking up with Stimson.
At the same time, General
George C. Marshall, the chief of
staff, told the Senate military
affairs committee that he would
recommend immediate mobilize
tion of the National Guard if a
compulsory military training bill
it enacted. „

U. S. To Form
9th Mechanized
Army Division
WASHINGTON, July IS (U.R)
—The war department today an-
nounced plans for widespread
reshuffling and expansion of the
army's land forces, including the
formation of a ninth stream-lined
division of 8,000 men, with head-
quarters at Fort Bragg, N. C
The new division—to be equip-
ped with the latest type semi-
automatic guns and motorized
facilities—will be drawn from
55,000 men to be added to the
army by September to provide
an enlisted infantry strength of
385,000. Later, 40,000 men will be
added to the air corps to bring
total army enlistments to 875,000.
Newly enrolled infantrymen not
selected for the Fort Bragg di-
vision will be utilized in 58 units
to be created in various sections
of the country and in completing
many existing units to authorize
peace-time strength.
The program will give the army
nine completely stream-lined in-
fantry divisions, two armored di-
visions patterned after the fa-
mous German Panzer mechanized
units, and one cavalry division
The entire second division will
be concentrated at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas. The 38th infantry
now quartered at Fort Douglas,
Utah, will move to Fort Sam
Houston and be replaced later
by air corps units.

A good land u e program con-
sisting of toil erosion control, wa-
ter conservation and crop rotation
including soil improvement crops
has made it possible for him to op-
erate his 109 acre farm at a profit
each year for the patt four year*
according to a statement today by
Ruff Watton whose farm is located
five miles northeast of Mart, in
the Kirk community.
Mr. Watson saya that before
he terraced tnis farm In 1935 with
the aitistance of the Soil Con-
servation Service CCC camp at
Coolidge, thi yielda were low, gul-
liet and washes were so bad that
cultivation wat difficult, a uni-
form stand of cotton or corn wat
almost impossible and the farm
wat considered a bad investment.
Sheet washing wat to bad that
light colored tub-toil wat exposed
on teveral acret.
Mr. Watson lays that before he
terraced thit ferm, he plowed in
the gulliet and drawt. After the
terraces were built, the rows were
laid off to run with the terraces.
In 1938 at a protection against
heavy rains, he increased the ef-
fective height of hit terraces by
creating a wide flow-line channel
on the upper side of each terrace.
This hcannel wat plowed out so
that the finishing water fuirrow
wa* in the middle of the terrace
channel. He then laid off his row*
in this channel area to run with
the terrace*. Mr. Wataon say*
that "crop production in the chan-
nel area it greater than that on
the area between terracet but not
at great at that produced on the
terraces." Total yieldt are at least
50% greater than they were be-
fore he began this program.
For the past two years Mr. Wat-
son has sown an 18 foot strip of
oats and hubam clover above this
terrace flow line channel between
the terraces. He eays, "I like the
strips to protect the terraces. Hu-
bam and oat strip* kept the ter-
race flow line channel from fill-
ing up. There wasn't any dirt de-
posits in the flow line channel be-
low the hubam olover and oats
straps following heavty rains. I
have not been bothered with cms
washing between terraces since I
sowed my strips." He plows under
the oat* and clover as a soil build-
ing practice.
Crop rotation practiced is to ro-
tate cotton so that it is not plant-
ed two years in succession on the
same land, interchanging it with
corn, oats, sorghum, hubam clover
and other legumes. A legume has
been plowed under on every acre
of this farm at least one year in
the paet four.
On the west boundary of the
farm, a raw gully, .8 feet deep in
places was plowed in, worked down
and sodded with bermuda grass in
1938. It is now a uniform channel,
well covered with grass that pro-
tecte terraee outlet* with a drain-
age area of 60 acre* of terraced
land.
