Wilson Gives Farmers
Information on Wheat
Wheat quotas are now in effect
• and will apply on the 1941 wheat crop,
R. J. Wilson, chairman of the Collin
county AAA committee announced
l this week.
Tabulations compiled in the local
AAA office, McKinney, indicate that
, wheat farmers of the county ap-
proved wheat marketing qUotas by a
vote of 227 to 22. a majority of 92
per cent, when they voted in the na-
tion-wide wheat referendum. Satur-
day, May 31.
Mr. Wilson also announced that
. preliminary but unofficial figures
from the State AAA office indicate
that Texas farmers approved quotas
by a vote of 13,974 to 938, or 93.7 per
cent, while the United States voted
80.3 per cent for quotas.
"All farmers who have planted
'within their wheat allotments for
this year,” the committeeman said,
“may continue to sell or feed all they
produce. They may also dispose of
any old wheat carried over from pre-
vious years."
Since quotas are approved, wheat
farmers who have planted within
their allotments are eligible for a
wReat loan which will approximate
94 cents per bushel net in most Texas
counties for No. 2 wheat. The amount
of excess wheat will be smaller of ac-
tual production or normal yield on
th£ overplanted acres for the farm,
the committeeman explained.
Overplanted wheat farmers, Mr.
Wilson continued, who have a mar-
king excess may dispose of it in one
)f two ways, (1) they may market it
nd pay the penalty, which will be
4P cents per bushel, or (2) may store
it under bond, in which case the wheat
is sealed in storage approved for

CELINA, TEXAS. THURSDAY, JUNE 19. 1941
Marvin Collins Elected
To Head Junior Chamber
Officers were elected for the ensu-
ing six months, and other important
business was transacted at the semi-
monthly meeting of the McKinney
Junior Chamber of Commerce, held
Tuesday noon at Woods cafe, with
President Clyde Doyle presiding.
Marvin Collins, active in local busi-
ness, civic and church circles of the
city and a leader in the Junior cham-
ber for several years, was elected
president.
The Jaycees are rounding out a
successful and busy half year of
work under the able direction of
President, Doyle, and under President
Collins are expected to continue then-
worthwhile activities in the interest
of their home town and community.
The foregoing from Wednesday’s
McKinney Courier-Gazette, will be
pleasing to the friends of Marvin Col-
lins. since he is the son of Dr. and
Mrs. J. S. Collins of this city and
was reared here.

Marketing Quota Card
Removes Restrictions
J. B. Mooney, administrative offi-
cer Collin County A. C. A., directs
the following to Collin County wheat
growers;
If you have a wheat marketing
quota card, you are free to dispose
of your wheat in any way you wish,
R. J. Wilson, chairman of the Collin
county AAA committee, pointed out
this week.
Under AAA regulations, which
went into effect with the approval by
wheat growers of marketing quotas
in the referendum May 31, wheat pro-
ducers can not obtain a marketing
card until they have satisfied any
claims the AAA might have against
their wheat for production on excess
acres, the AAA committeeman said.
“Since this is true, then it natur-
ally follows that a producer holding
a card on his wheat can sell it, store
it, or do whatever lie wants to with
it." he continued. “This wheat is ab-
solutely clear as far as the AAA is
concerned and is eligible to move in
the regular chanels of trade."
Producers who do not clearly un-
derstand the operations of wheat
marketing quotas should ask for ful-
ler explanations at the county AAA
office, the committeeman said.

J. D. Cottrell of Plano
Died Saturday in Dallas
Monday’s McKinney Courier-Ga-
zette carried the following account of
the death of one of Plano’s prominent
citizens:
J. Dudley Cottrell, 75, u Plano at-
torney and former mayor, and a mem-
ber of the state legislature from 1903
to 1906, died Saturday in a Dallas
hospital after an illness of more than
two months. He was the father of

at one home the yard
was literally strewn with limbs both
green and dead.
During the time in which the* fury
of the wind prevailed the 80-foot iron
tower in the center of the public
square, large electric light atop, fell
with a crash. It fell in about the only
spot it could have fallen without
damaging a tree or one of the large
park lights mounted on posts just
inside the curb that surrounds the
park. Had the tower fallen during
business hours or even up to 10
o’clock at night, the chances are that
someone would have been killed or
hurt.
The fire siren was mounted on the
tower about half-way up and is said
not to have been damaged by the fall.
For this piece of equipment the city
paid 3360. The tower was erected in
1911.
The small grain crops, previously
damaged by rain, were further dam-
aged by this Sunday morning storm.

Pension Checks to Be Late
But Larger, Say Officials
Officials administering the old-age
pension funds say that provided fed-
eral funds are obtained for matching
state funds, the $9.00 cut of June
checks, as announced by the state de-
partment of public welfare, will be
avoided. The legislature took final
action Thursday. June 12, to provide
additional state money to avoid the
39.00 cut. The law was signed by the
governor on the day it was passed.
Tf federal funds are obtained to
match the additional state money
made available, checks for June aver-
vorably known in McKinney. He
worked his way to Texas as a boy
from his native home near Cumber-
land Gap. Tenn.. and had lived at Pla-
no ever since.
Mr. and Mrs. Cottrell celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary on
March 25 at their home in Plano.

Officials of the state department of
public welfare were hastily obtaining
certified copies of the amended law
and other necessary documents Fri-
day as part of the procedure for ob-
taining federal money. J. B. Murchi-
son, executive director o;f the state
department explained that “we have
been in contact with officials of the
social security board and they are
helping in every possible way to
*peed up our request for funds. The
regional office at San Antonio is to-
day reviewing the material submit-
ted, and we expect it to be in Wash-
ington Monday morning. However, it
takes time to get final approval on
such matters and for the United
States treasury to get a check back
to Texas. The checks to the old age
recipients will have to be held up un-
til we can get the money, but when
the checks are released, they will be
for full amounts if we get the feder-
al matching we are asking for."
Ordinarily, uld-age assistance
checks are mailed about the 15th of
each month. The June checks will
have to be held until additional fed-
eral money is received. The state de-
partment. officials expressed the opin-
ion that checks for June would be at -
least a week late, and that checks
will not be delayed any longer than
is necessary to receive the additional
federal funds.
