for a 7 acre lake this week. The
machinery is clearing the lake bas-
in now. This is essential if proper
fish development is had.
Joe Stuckey of the new CaBB
Springs Conservation Group and
J, A. Dodson of the Smyrna Con-
servation Group have ask for the
services of the engineering crew of
the Soil Conservation Service in
laying out a system of terraces on
their farm.
Allen Sims of the Queen City
Conservation Group says that he
will be ready for a system of ter-
race lines in the next few days.
Lines were run and plowed out
on the W. W. McCoy farm in the
Cranberry Conservation Group this
week. Mr. McCoy is planning con-
struction immediately.
The drouth, together with the
fact that some are cutting their
sericea hay rather late in the sea-
son, may weaken the plants. Addi-
tional fertility and some reseeding
might be necessary next spring.
This will depend of course on
rains and how late our frost ap-
pears. A soil, void of vegetation,
will have greater amount of ero-
sion.
W. G. Cranberry of the Gran-
berry Conservation Group is mak-
ing a complete coordinated Soil
and Water Conservation Plan on
his farm this week.

| except to break the crust for 15
: to 18 inches around the tree and
to remove any grass and weeds.
, I'aradichlorobenzene crystals
should be placed in a circle around
the tree, about two inches from the
base. For mature trees of average
size, 1 oz, by weight should be
used; for unusually large treesl^
ozs. is sometimes needed: for trees
4 to 5 years old, % oz. and for
trees 1 to 3 years of age, Va oz., or
slightly less, should be used. Im-
mediately after the crystals have
bee/i applied, they should be cover
ed with several shovels of dirt,
j and the dirt packed with the back 1
! of the shovel to make a cone-shap |
■ ed mound. The material should be t
applied between October 20 and
I November 15. After about six
[weeks, the mound of earth should
be torn down and the residue or
crystals removed.

How To Control
Peach Tree Borer
Ethylene dichloride emulsion is
the most satisfactory material for
peach tree borer control. Directions
for diluting the stock solution are
given on the manufacturers con-
tainers. Clear the grass an<' weeds
from around the tree trunk. Build
the ground level above where the
borers are working in the trunk.
,lt is not necessary to remove the
j mound around the tree at a later
date. The material can be applied
any time after the leaves shed in
the fall until early April provided
the temperature is above 45 de-
grees F and the ground is not too
wet. Apply Ms pint of the diluted
ethylene dichloride emulsion mix-
ture on the ground around the tree
\ for mature bearing trees. For trees
2 to 4 years of age use %pint per
tree. Cover the liquid with a few
t shovels of dirt.
i Paradichlorobenze crystals will
• also control peach borers. No pre-

Great Danger Of
Forest Fires Now
Several weeks ago an article ap-
peared in this paper calling atten-
tion to the imminent danger of for
est fires in this area. At that time
the Cass county section was under
going one of its worst droughts in
history; this made our woods and j
forests extremely vulnerable to
the spreading of costly conflagra-
tions. Shortly thereafter, fortu-1
nately, the drought was broken!
and the danger decreased by sev-1
oral much needed rains.
However, once again our rains
have deserted us and although the
weather is somewhat cooler, the f
ground and the vegetation is rap-
idly drying out. Wo no longer can
depend on nature to protect our
natural resources, IT IS UP TO
US. If nature is becoming more
forgetful, we in turn must become
I more mindful. Trash fires, cigar-;
ettes, burning matches, grass fires
etc., must be carefully watched
j and controlled.
The people of Texas and the en-
| tire nation have been awakened to
I the destructive possibilities of for-'
jest fires. Two great conflagrations
j in the past two months have cost
untold missions of dollars in dam-j
j age. The Walker-Montgomeary!
County treas will be years trying 1
to recover from their stupendous 1
losses. If Cass county were to have
such a fire the possibilities of its!
losses would be equally staggering
In 1944, Cass county produced
62,150,000 board feet of lumber I
and containers plus 4,000,000 board
feet for pulpwood, ties, etc. For
this they received $3,039,100.00. |
There was a total of 850 full-!
time employees and the annual
payroll ran to $1,190,000. The saw
I mills alone had $855,000 invested
in equipment, stumpage, etc.
Surely, with figures such as
these to prove the value of the tim
her industry to us, we can ill af-
ford to ignore conservation and
preservation. BE CAREFUL —!
PREVENT FIRES!
Cass County 4-H
Club Boys Win
During the past two weeks, 4-H
club boys of Cass county have en-
tered animals in four shows includ
ing the Four States Fair at Tex-
arkana and the Central East Texas
Fair at Marshall.
Following is list of the boys
showing in the various shows with
placings and awards won by each
boy.
4 States Fair, Texarkana, Cass
County Scramble Calf Class: Wes
ley Henry, 1st, $25; Bobbie Ken-
nedy, 2nd, $20; Jimmie Dee Avery
3rd, $15; Billy Wilbanks, 4th, $10;
Emmett C. Kennedy, 5th, $5.00.
Other boys competing in this
class were Dean Kirkland, James
Clements, Paul T. Allen, Billy
Heath, Willard Lovvry and Grady
Hill.
Cass County Sears Roebuck
Foundation Pig Show, Gilts, Six
months and under 1 year: Edward
L. Purser, 1st, $8; Eucline Rich-
ardson, 2nd, $7; Charles Ray Wil-
cox, 3rd, $6; Franklin Washington
4th, $5; John Watkins, 5th, $4.00.
Other boys competing in this
class were Lawrence Woodard and
Miles G. Tolleson.
Sears Roebuck Foundation Area
Pig Show, Gilts, 0 months and un-
der 1 year: Edward L. Purser, 2nd
$30.00. First place in this class
was won by Bowie county and 3rd
place went to Titus county.
Boards, 6 months and under 1
year: Pressler Woodard, 2nd, $.30,
First place in this class was won
by Titus county and 3rd place
went to Bowie county.
Central East Texas Fair, Mar-
shall, Gilts, 6 months and under 1
year: Edward L. I'urser, 2nd, $3;
Eucline Richardson, 3rd, $2.00.
Boars, (i months and under one
year: Pressler Edward, 3rd, $2.00
The boar show in this class was
bred by Pressler and is not the
same animal shown in the Sears
show. Though the boar only took
3rd place in the show, he stood
above all other Junior entries and
was beaten only by two boars
shown by adult breeders.
All boys entering animals in the
various shows have done a fine job
on fitting and showing their ani-
mals and are to be commended for
their efforts.
The usual down payment afford
ed the lender in transactions not
involving G.-approved loans, said
VA, generally ranges from 10 to
40 per cent.
"In the face of that fact," said
the statement, "it should lie obv-
ious that the insistence by the lend !
er of a down payment in G. I.
loans, except where indicated for
the particular case, defeats thel
fundamental purpose of the law,
and invites new legislation which 1
will achieve the original purpose
and intent of Congress."
VA said it recognized'circum-
stances in which no legitimate oh-I
jection can be made to a lender re;
quiring a down payment or in de-
clining to make a loan.
The government agency said it's
policy prevented the naming of
lending institutions where applica-
tions for G. I. loans would receive
favorable consideration. This policy
has now been changed. Loan
Guaranty Officers may now direct
inquiring veterans to institutions
which are favorably disposed to
make G. I. loans without requiring
down payments.
This step, VA said, has been re-
garded as a necessary service to
veterans.
Guard Children
Against Illness
Seasonal health hazards for
young children are to be guarded
against in the wintertime just as
carefully as they are in the sum-
mertime in the opinion of Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer.
"Every mother is familiar with
so-called summer complaints which
affect small children but certain
winter diseases can be just as
harmful and are just as likely to
make their appearance unless pro-
per precautions are used during
the approaching season," Dr. Cox
said.
In the group of winter diseases
Dr. Cox included influenza, ton-
sillitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, as-
thma, and even diphtheria when a
child has not had diphtheria im-
munization. Any such disease af-
fecting a child's respiratory or
breathing system is apt to be very
serious and all too often fatal.
Pneumonia often develops from
a neglected cold or may follow a
severe case of measles or whoop-
ing cough. Bronchitis conditions
may also prove to be an after ef-
fect of such diseases and these re-
..pii ■•lory ailments are much more
difficult to combat successfully
the digestive ailments which are
prevalent in the summertime, and
known as summer complaints.
"These winter diseases are espe-
cially dangerous to babies and
very young children,? Dr. Cox stat
ed. "Nearly all of them are spread
from the secretions of the nose
and mouth. Children not in vigor-
ous health are naturally more
susceptible to these complaints
and the first line of defense again-
st them is to build up the child's
general health, as a power of re-
sistance against disease," Dr. Cox
advised. "The second step is to
keep them under medical supervi-
sion and the thjrd is to make sure
that they avoid contact with those
who have coughs, colds, or fevers."

There will be a singing at the
Cass Baptist church October 26th

Veterans Loans
Are Guaranteed
There is a growing tendency on
the part of mortage lenders to re-1
quire veterans buying homes with
G. I. loans to make down payments
the Veterans Administration said
today in a statement released t
through W. Hays Moore, local Con
tact Representative.
This practise, said VA, has pro-;
duced results that seriously retard
fulfillment of objectives of the
Servicemen's Readjustment Act. j
Under this legislation the govern
ment is allowed to guarantee the
lender against loss for 50 per cent
of the purchase price of a home
up to a maximum of $4,000.
VA said that a decision was
reached at a recent Washington
conference of Loan Guaranty Of-
ficers to make a clear-cut policy
statement to lenders. It was point- f
ed out that Congress had authoriz
ed a guaranty greater than would
have been necessary to supply cov
erage against principal risk in
order that veterans might be able
to acquire homes without supply- (
ing cash to the transaction.
