FAMOUS SAYING: "Do you
suppose it will ever rain?"
xxxxxx
A person would have thought
we never would have needed a
better chance than on Tuesday af-
ternoon. Guess the weather has
gotten out ol' practice op raining,
and will have jto learn all over
again.
xxxxxx
When it seemed certain Tues-
day that it woud rain, we asked
Mrs. Lavell Meaders if she would
like to see it rain all night. She
said that wouldn't be enough tor
he?' she'd like a week of it.
xxxxxx
Bill Thornhill said the only way nia to
for us ever to have enough rain
in this country is to have too
much. Which doesn't happen of-
ten. but maybe you can remem-
ber last September.
xxxxxx
That was when the Brazos river I
got out of its banks, and when
Bill Damron's big barn west of
the bridge had nine feet of water
in it.
xxxxxx
Somebody said we always have
too much rain or too none. And
this could recall a remark by Lit-
tle Liz, who said: "Not many
peope can stand prosperity—but
not many have to."
xxxxxx
When Mr. and Mrs. J J. Macha
celebrated their 50th wedding an-
niversary, we remarked to Joe
that they might bring in oil on
their place som'e of these days.
Joe said, "I won't need it—too old.
xxxxxx
Now. just what would a fellow
mean by a remark of that kind?
Maybe Macha was thinking back
cn the days—or nights—when he
was able to hell around more'n
he wants to now.
xxxxxx
Today's Chuckle tells about
wife who complained that her
husband seemed to forget they
were married, every time he saw
a pretty girl. He said: "On the
contrary, my dear, nothing brings
heme the fact with such force."
xxxxxx
Aunt Het says: "Sadie likes to
have a man around, to pay ex-
penses. but she'd enjoy marriage
more if it didn't include having
a nasty man to mess up the house.
xxxxxx
Barbs calls attention to the fact
that babies need more sleep than
grownups: 'out sometimes, in the
m'iddle of the night, the little
dears seeinf to forget about their
greater need for sleep.
xxxxxx
Bob Baskin of the Dallas News
was in this office, and said that
he likes country journalism bet-
ter. He likes to see the news
about people and their affairs, as
when the paper tells about Jim
Smith losing his best milk cow.
xxxxxx
Bob says places like Dallas are
too big, and still growing crazily.
He says he can start out, driving
around, and run across a swell
new shopping center he had never
seen before, which grew up like
a mushroom in somebody's cotton
patch.
xxxxxx
The whole country is in a race
with itself. We build m'illions of
cars, and then have to scrap our
highway system and build six-
laners, so we won't bump one an-
other off the road.
xxxxxx
It looks now like June Prich-
ard of Seymour, the current Miss
Texas might be on the way to
being named Miss Wool. Now
wouldn't that kill you? Instead of
having June riding in the parade
on a prancing white steed, she'd
be going along in a convertible!
xxxxxx
In national politics, J. M. Rob-
erts says the Democrats are talk-
ing about a dark horse candidate.
Roberts says there is a full stable
of them, and with pretty long
odds on some ol' the num'bers.
xxxxxx
President Eisenhower has gone
back to work, and the Demos are
■worried about his health. Some of
them probably think Ike ought to
stay in the hospital all the time,
or take on the role of semi-invalid
and preserve his health.
xxxxxx
This is off the subject of poli-
tics, but we wanted to stop off
long enough to say something in
regard to the city jKirk and the
swimming pool. They are swell
institutions, and take some of the
bite off the weather.
xxxxxx
Coffee has finally made it to a
dime in most places; and there
are some who think the new price
is more in line with what the
stuff is worth A nickel was the | 1<I55
price back yonder when wages,
were a dollar per day.

A residential paving
has been going on in Seymour
the past two months, which has
added no small amount to the city's
paved streets. City manager George Cotton Farmers
Notice to Overplanted
Mocek has given a Banner repre-
sentative an account of what has
been done, which is substantially
as follows:
One block has been paved on
East California Street, between
Stratton and Browning. This is in
the vicinity of the city light plant,
and the paving is on the street
that passes the residences of Mrs.
Garrett Seals, Mrs. William Little,
George Mocek and Bob Nix.
Three blocks have been paved
on Stratton Street, from Califor-
Oregon, in the east part of
town. This starts at the Charles
Martin home, one block east of the
grade school, and goes south to the
Guy Hargrave place. The paving
also extends 100 feet north, run-
ning on the east side of the old
W. R. Lee place, or Grossman
place.
One block has been put down on
East Nevada Street, beginning at
the southeast corner of the grade
school and going east past the
homes of Coleman Duggan, Sparks
Burnett and Mrs. Charles Randal.
There was very little base for this
paving, and the city had its trucks
to bring a quantity of gravel from
the city gravel pit and build up the
base.
In the northwest part of town
the most important of the recent
paving has been two blocks on
West Nevada, from Cedar Street
to Donnell. The west part of this
starts south of the high school
block and takes in the street south
of the block in which the high
school gymnasium is located, end-!
ing at Cedar Street.
At a somewhat earlier date, there
was three fourths of a block of
paving put down on the west end
of Oregon Street. This goes past
the new home of Dr. Wilson and
a j on to Plants creek.
This is quite a nice paving ex-
pansion program, which has been
accomplished without much flurry
and feathers. The hot topping has
been done by local contractors,
Ryan & Coltharp, and it has con-
sisted of the regulation two coat-
ings of asphalt, with gravel on top,
similar to the construction on the
farm-to-market roads. Most of the
streets that have been paved had
previously been paved with grav-
el and ail that was needed was to
fill in some of the low places with
fresh gravel. This was done by the
city. The city also paved the inter-
sections. The rest of the work was
paid for by the property owners
along the paved streets. No curb
was put down, as this is rather ex-
pensive. The width of the paved
surface has varied with the dif-
ferent projects, and it goes all the
way from 20 to 36 feet. The sur-
facing is not heavy, and would be
too thin for a highway: but is
ample for a residential street.
Manager Mocek says all of the
work has been done without any
high pressure methods being used.
And considering the long extended
drouth and the poor prospects for
summer and fall crops, the amount
of paving that has been done here
recently is something to crow
about. If times had been normal,
there would have been a good
many more blocks included. And
indeed, the paving idea is still
being talked of generally, and the
chances that there will be a num-
ber of other blocks hard surfaced
while citizens still have the fever.
Farmers receiving
notices on cotton are urged to not-
ity the ASC Office when the ex-
cess acreage has been desroyed. A
twenty day period from the date
of the overplanted notice is al-
A fee of $2.00 per farm plus
lowed for destroying excess cotton.
$1.00 or each plot over one, must
be paid before the office can e-
cheek excess cotton acreage. Even
though farmers may put cotton
acreage in the Acreage Reserve
Program, it is necessary that a fee
be paid and a re-check m'ade to
get overplanted farms in compli-
ance.

sociation's program for the season

It takes a mighty lot of care to get a calf ready for competi-
tion in the Junior Livestock Show, held around February 1
each year. Here, Richard Roberts, left, is getting some first-
hand information on how to wash a calf from John Mooney, an
old hand at the game. Roberts, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. G.
Roberts, of the Ogden community, is raising his first calf,
which is of the W. R. Nichols stock. The calf weighs 515
pounds and is gaining at the rate of 2V2 pounds daily under
Richard's care. He is a third-year member of the Future
Farmers of America, getting his training from Lester Burke,
vocational agriculture instructor at the Seymour High School.
Mooney is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Mooney. John, his
brother, Don, and sister, Joan, are each feeding a calf under
the FFA program.—Photo by Gene Carter.

lor County Agricultural Stabiliza-
tion and Conservation Committee
tod'ay called the attention of wheat
growers to the referendum on
wheat marketing quotas to be held
on Friday, July 20.
All growers who in 1957 will
harvest more than 15 acres of
wheat for grain on a farm are eli-
gible to cast ballots in the. quota
referendum. Quotas do not affect
farmers with smaller wheat acre-
ages.
Should there be any question
about the wheal program or local
voting places, information may be
obtained from the local ASC office.
Wheat farmers are urged to inform
themselves fully about the wheat
situation before casting their bal-
lots in the referendum.
The issues to be decided by the
vote are as follows:
If at least two-thirds of the farm-
ers voting approve the quotas, then
quotas will continue in effect for
the 1957 wheat crop and a grower
who exceeds the larger of his allot-
ment or 15 acres of wheat will bo
subject to a marketing quota pen-
alty on his "excess" production.
Under quotas, the available wheat
price support to farmers who havo
complied with their farm allot-
ments will be at a level between
75 and 90 percent of parity.
If more than one-third of th*
farmers voting disapprove
quotas, then no quotas and wi pen-
alties for excess productioi will t>o
in effect, but the available support
oil the 1957 wheat crop will drop to
5o percent of parity as provided by
the law The vote will not effect
acreage allotments which will con-
tinue in effect no matter how the
vote goc Legislation provides that
whi at allotments shall be in effect
i-m h > eati except in t»me of emer-
gency.
