Hay Shortage
pr #1 /* •■* i
The hay situation is critical in
Fannin County, according t*> Cou-
nty Ageht Gene Graves. I.
The county agents says practi-
cally all catiameri have exhausted
r-itheir hay suppliese and,'none is
available in the county. It iss im-
possible to turn the cattle in on
small' grain pasturesee because of
the continued wet and cold weath-
er that has prevented growth.
Common pasturese have not start-
ed {o grow.. "
Gra)ves said that the ground was
^water-logged that approximate-
ly go per cent of;,the nitrogen in
the soil had been lost which would
necessitate top1 dressing with, ni-
trogen as soon as the ground had
dried sufficiently to permit get-
ting to the fields-and pastures.
"It will take two weeks for the
ground to dry out sufficiently for
the farmers to get in the fields
'V'!i
and thi'n hiioUh'i 20 days would
be • needed before the pastures
would begin to .show much grow-
th." Graves said.- 1
■ Several cattlemen have report-
ed losing cattle from "disease and
cold this winter. .
'"Most farmers retain" just
enough1 hay to carry their herds
through the winteere eand sell the
rest, but they have been forced
to feed more, hay than anticipated
and have rurt.out of hay early arid
there's" no pasture," ,he said.
Some farmers have reported
paying $1.20 to *1.75 per bale for
hay. . . * .*■ •;

Bond Assumption,
Tax Rate Election
a best two out of three volley
ball game. This has been qtdded to
.the program not . to attract the
crowd, but to give the concession
stands an oportunity to take in a
little, more cash,- one of the
mothers remarked. ;
For those .hot so athletically-in-
clined or" in the market for bar-
gins buys - the Honey Grove Mer-
chants have denoted' over $100
worth of merchandize to auction
off- there will be a string hand'
to play during half time intermiss-
ion.
The concession stand will'he open
throughout the- affair and will sell
sandwiches, fried pies, candy, pop
corn, coffee, and cold drinks.

If last year's Contest is any in-
dication of tonight's fracas, there
is destined to be much color and
excitement. The group of mothers
from Honey Grove teed off against
the high school girl's team in
1959, but found that youth was too
big an obstacle to overcome, los-
ing a closely played contest, 15-16.
This year, the Mohawks are
paired with an opponerit bearing
the same handicap—age—but who
is due to provide, keen competition,
if scouting reports from the enemy
lajr is any indication.
Coached by Kenneth „ Billings-
local high school coach, the Mo-
hawks are tabbed as slight fav-
orites - due to the previous ex-
perience of last, year, and because
only the more hearty players of
•last season have returned realiz-
ing in advance that there' will be
no sympathic homecoming for
bruised and sore spouses, the Hon-
ey Grove husbands have advised.
OUr husbahds remarked, "You
can play; but don't come home
with complaints of ailing hacks or
cramping legs because yoti know
in advance the consequences when
age versus activities."
Leading candidates and players
who have been designated as the
"Stars" by team members are:
Little Doe (Mary Dow Neeley),
Snow Cloud (Evelyn Walden), and
Pocachontas (Thelma Stuart).

Advance Census
Report Forms
Being Distributed
Advance Report Forms for the
1960 Census of Population and
Housing will be distributed by
Post Office employees this week
to all households in this area. Dis-
trict Supervisor Harry R. Scheid
announced today.,
The Advance Report Form. Is a
new census-taking device which
is resigned to speed up the field
canvass and provide more accur-
ate statistics. Distribution of this
form before the start of the house-
to-house canvass gives the fam-
ily a chance to assemble informat-
ion about each member in advance
of the census taker's visit. The
district supervisor urges all re-
sidents to fill out the form arid
have it ready for the census tak-
ers when they start their rounds on
|April 1.
The Advance Report Form con-
tains seven- questions about every
person in the household and six
questions about the household's
dwelling. The household Informa-
tion asked for is name, address,
sex, color or race, month and year
of birth, whether married or sing-
le, and relationship to head of the
household. The infbrnjation re-
quired about the dwelling Ts the
number of rooms, cooking facili-
ties, plumbing, and whether rented
or owned. •
At every fourth household, the
census taker will leave a Census
Household Questlonaire which con-
tains additional quetrttons covering
population and housing character-
istics which are being asked of a
25 percent sample of the Nation's
population. Householders are re-
quested to fill out the household
questionnaire and mail, it within
three days to the local census dis-
trict office. A pre-addressed, poS-
age free envelope is being provided
for this purpose.'
The "sample" population quest-
ions Include inquiries on country of
birth, mother tongues of foreign
born, Schooling, employment, in-
come and related items. The ad-
ditional housing questions relate
to rent or value ol dwelling, heat-
ing equipment, water supply, and
other facilities and equipment.
The district supervisor pointed
out that information about individ-
uals and their homes furnished to
the Census Bureau is kept confi
denttal under Federal law. Only
statistical totals and averages are
published. No Individual person
can be identified in published re-
ports' and census information can-
not be used for regulation, investi-
gation. or taxation.
