EX-AMBASSADOR TO PRAGUE RETURNS TO U. S.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Joseph E. Jacobs, who until last week was
American Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, is interviewed on his arrival
in New York from Paris, Nov. 22. He is accompanied by his wife
(left). Jacobs refused to comment on Czechoslovakia before conferring
with the State Department.
FARM BUREAU MEETING
Jimmy Lester, secretary of the
Baylor County Farm Bureau, was
in Dallas last week to attend the
annual meeting of the state organ-
ization. A large representation of
members was present from over
the state, and it was probably thh
largest attended and the best meetA
ing in the state Bureaus history.
A copy of the program showed
some of the Bureau's biggest men
in state and nation, to have been
present and spoke.
The general trend was a hopeful
one. with a full schedule of work
ahead, and prospects of much ac-
complishments.
Among other stands taken was
for a continued support of farm
prices, with 100 per cent parity,
instead of 90. The state policy
on ownership of tidelands was
vigorously supported. And a heavy
boost was given to the project of
more farm roads. The Bureau’s
position has been that the high-
ways can do the farmer no good
if the road from his front gate is
impassable. The Bureau had a big
delegation at the last session of
the Texas Legislature in support
of this program, and members of
the legislature who failed the far-
mers when the issue came up for
final vote will be remembered at
the next election.
Annual dues in the association
were raised from $5 to $10.00.
Johnny McLemore came in last
Thursday afternoon from Camden,
N. J„ and spent until Saturday
morning at the home of his aunt,
Mrs. R. C. Plants. He went from
here to Wichita Falls to spend a
little time with his sister, the for-
mer Valerie McLemore, and was
then going to spend a couple of
days in Dallas. John was born
and reared in Baylor County, and
comes back often enough to keep
up with the people and the situa-
tion here. For the past 20 years
he has been at Camden with the
RCA. and has about gotten accli-
mated up there. So far, he has
never gotten around to being mar-
ried.
C. H. Treat thinks Friday night
was a busy time in his family,
with two aditions to his family.
One addition was made when a
son-in-law was inducted into the
family, with a big wedding at the
Presbyterian church. The other one
was when Claude Jr. and his wife,
the former June St. Clair, became
the parents of a fine baby daugh-
ter.
Mrs. Will Yoe and son, W. L„
spent the week end in Cleburne
with members of her family. Fri-
day night they attended a foot-
ball game between Cleburne and
Corsifcana, and one of the home
boys on the team is Mrs. Yoe’s
nephew. Also, her niece was named
Homecoming Queen at a game
earlier in the fall.

Mrs. A. J. Schilling of Snyder
has written The Banner and en-
closed a picture from the Fort
.Worth Star-Telegram that is of i
interest here. The picture is of a |
rig that has just gone up in the
Union Grove Baptist churchyard,
five miles west of Snyder. The
church has leased its two acres of
ground for $500 per acre, which
will go into a building fund. If
the test should turn out to be a
producer, the church would not |
have to worry about where the j
rest of the money would come
from to erect a new building. Mrs. |
Schilling explained that the man in |
the picture who has his hand J
raised is her husband, who is the |
day driller on the rig. They have \
just moved to Snyder. Arnold |
Schilling has been there for six
weeks, and he is day driller on a
rig not far away. Mr. Schilling. I
who married Mozeile Harvey, is 1
the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. O. \
F. Harvey of Seymour.
Very few homes have ever been
built with too much storage space
but the lack of storage and closet
space contributes to over-crowded
closets, hallways and cluttered
rooms. The latter condition creates
many accident hazards in the home.
Milk production can be increas-
ed by as much as 100 percent dur-
ing the winter and on less feed if
the dairy cows are kept free of
lice, grubs, stomach worms and
other parasites.

SEYM >UR. BAYLOR COUNTY. TEXAS
INTER-COUNTY GINNING
H. C. Harvey Jr„ inspector for
the pink boolworm eradication
work at Seymour, has received a
bulletin in regard to seed cotton
being transported from one area
to another one that has a different
status ip regard to the- boll worm
infestation As a general proposi-
tion, the cotton should be ginned
not too far from where it is pro-
duced. The major portion of the
bulletin Is given as follows:
Federal Quarantine 52 as well
as the State Quarantines for the
Pink Boll worm of cotton in the
States of Arizona, New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Texas authorizes the
inter and intra-state movement of
seed cotton only from lightly in-
fested areas into <1) contiguous
regulated counties in which simi-
lar conditions of infestation exist;
<2> to designated gins (operating
under Dealer-Carrier Permit* lo-
cated in free areas but immedi-
ately adjacent to the regulated
areas for ginning, for which no
permits are required. Any other
movement of seed cotton (includ-
ing grabbots or hollies) or parts of
the cotton plant shall be _ made
only under permit duly authorized
by the appropriate quarantine of-
ficials.
In view of the large amount of
seed cotton produced within the
pink bollworm regulated areas lo-
cated in the States of Arizona,
New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas
for the crop year of 1949-50, it is
deemed advisable at this time to
call to the attention of all concern-
ed the importance of adhering
strictly to the above provision of
the Pink Bollworm Quarantines
under question. Inspection for the
pink bollworm during the current
crop has revealed the intensity and
degree of infestation of the pink
bollworm existing in the various
pink bollworm regulated areas.
For the guidance of growers and
ginners in the case of cotton pro-
duced in Northwest Texas, Eastern
New Mexico and Southwestern
Oklahoma, seed cotton will be al-
lowed inter-county movement for
1 ginning in the grouping of coun-
ties indicated below: (Seed cotton
from the following counties may
be ginned in any of them):
Counties of Gray. Wheeler, Don-
ley. Collingsworth, Hall, Childress.
Counties of Hardeman, Wilbar-
ger. Wichita, Motley, Cottle, Ford,
King. Knox. Baylor, Stonewall,
Haskell, Throckmorton, Shackel-
ford and Callahan.
J. R. Morgan of Red Springs re-
marked Monday on the perfectly
wonderful fall weather we have
had, and how it has enabled cot-
ton gathering to be done with a
minimum of expense. J. R. said he
had not pulled any bolls in seven
years, but this fall has been doing
about 400 per day. He and his fam-
ily have pulled 46 of the 48 bales
he has out. It was interesting to
hear Mr. Morgan's report on the
13 acres of land he has under ir-
rigation in the Lively community.
The water comes from a big surface
tank, which is nearly full now,
and ready for next year's crop.
This year the 13 acres produced
11 bales, with some niore cotton
left, but the plants were plowed
under while green. The land under
irrigation is not as strong as the
Red Springs territory, and may
eventually have to be fertilized.
This year, all the cotton made, but
during a very day summer that ir-
rigation land will make a differ-
ence.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Johnson and
baby were up from Nugent Sunday
night, and Edgar made a business
visit with his father, Dr. C. E.
Johnson. The latter has been re-
covering in a rather satisfactory
from a heart attack of last sum-
mer. An examination last week
in Wichita Falls revealed that his
heart is still doing well, but there
is a stomach trouble that is now
giving a bit of concern.
NICHOLB-RAGAN CO.
SHOWING NEW TRUCKS
Completely re-designed and re-
engineered International trucks
from International Harv to new
L-line were introduced Wednesday
at the showroom of Nlchols-Rugan
Co. 0
The new International truck line
consist of 87 basic truck ha-
models designed to handle any tvpi
of hauling job, Mr. Freeman Ra-
gan said.
Mr. Ragan said the heavy-duty
engineered L-line presented a com-
pletely new design in motor trucks,
at once apparent from the massive
front end to the smartly styled
cab. He pointed out that many
new mechanical and engineering
improvements, designed to promote
operating efficiency and economy,
were feature of the new line.
Outstanding advances in design
and engineering, Mr. Ragan said
include:
1. New chassis dimension engi-
neering permitting better load dis-
tribution, greater maneuverability
improved engine accessibility and
short overall lengths while main-
taining or increasing load-carry-
ing lengths.
2. New, improved valve-in-head
International truck series engines,
including an all-new Silver Dia-
mond engine.
3. A newly designed cab offering
more roominess added comfort and
convenience and all-round visibil-
ity, factors in safer operation
4. Complete restyling that blends
a new modern truck streamlining
with extreme practicability.
The new trucks, introduced af-
ter years of exhaustive testing and
research, required the greatest
