Farm Pond Construction
Mr. Walter Peters ol Hen-
rietta community, started con-
struction on a farm pond last
week and an automatic drink-
ing box below, for his cattle.
Mr. Peters plans to fence the
pond to keep livestock out,
thus providing ample supply
of cool, clean drinking water
for his cattle. More cool,
clean water means more milk
and more food for our fighting
men.
Mr. Homer Dotson of Cedar
Yard is building the pond. Mr.
Dotson is also cooperating
with the Shelby-Panola Soil
Conservation District and has
recently constructed a farm
pond on his farm. The Soil
Conservation Service techni-
cians assisted in designing,
laying out, and are supervis-
ing the construction.
The Farm Security Admin-
istration is furnishing the mon-
ey for the construction of Mr.
Peters’ pond.
Pasture Clover Planting
Demonstration

see community, planted a
seed plot of Winter pasture
clovers last Thursday after-
noon. The land was prepared
by scattering phosphate at the
rate of 200 pounds per acre
and streaking the ground with
a five-inch shovel at three foot
intervals. Five pounds of a
mixture of Persian, Yellow
Hop and White Dutch clover
seed were inoculated and mix-
ed in a wagon bed with barn-
yard manure so that a hand-
ful contained three or four
seeds. The mixture was drop-
ped at two to three foot ihtei
vals in the streaks made by the
plow, it was not covered. Mr.
J r. Kyle and Amos May were
visitors who expressed an in-
terest in the planting proce-
dure.- Also priSent for the
demonstration were Mr. Rush-
ing -Manning and his vocation-
al agriculture class from

Terrace Outlet
Construction
Mr. J. B. Taylor of Mt Her-

ed 3800 feet of terraces this
- week. The terrace outlets
were first excavated 4 inches
deep, 6 feet wide and 8 feet
long, then completely sodded
to Bermuda grass. Mr. Tay-
Washington, Nov. 2.CUP)—
Production of military aircraft
took a 600-plane leap upward
during October to reach the
record high output of 8,200
planes—within striking dis-
tance of the 10,000 a month
goal for 1944.
The sharp rise, paced by
speeding up of the big bomber
program including output of
super-bombers, marked recov-
ery from a two-month slump
in which plane output not only
failed to increase but actually
decreased.
Officials who revealed the
good news said the surge for-
ward exceeded all expecta-
tions.

and laying out terrace outlets

East Texan Finds
Quail Flocking To
Get Coffee Beans
Henderson, Tex., Nov. 2.
J. L. Maxwell, residing in the
Pleasant Hill community of
Rusk county, who planted pea-
berry coffee seed on his farm
months ago to provide home-
raised coffee, now thinks he
has stumbled on something
that will make bird hunting
something a hunter dreams
about. Quail are flocking to
the coffee plants and as fast as
the beans drop out, they en-
joy a feast. He hasn’t tried
any of the beans as a coffee
substitute yet but will just as
soon as they are thoroughly
dried. The plants are the first
of the kind ever seen in this
section and are prolific beer-
ers. H the birds.like the peas,
Mr. Maxwell believes stock
will too and instead of using
the peas for. coffee making, he
may have an answer to some
of the stock food shortages.
His experiment is attracting
much interest.
Christmas Packages For
Soldiers in Hospital
The East Texas Camp and
Hospital Council is preparing
for Christmas packages for the
boys in the hospitals at Camp
Fanning, Tyler, and Harmon
Hospital, Longview. They are
calling for 4000 packages so
that each boy in these hospi-
tals will receive a small Christ-
mas remembrance on Christ-
mas Eve. Many of these boys
will receive no package from
home. It is requested that the
value of these packages not
exceed fifty cents in order that
all will receive something of a
liks value. This is asking very
little of any one person and
Shelby county’s quota is only
260 and should be met with
very little difficulty if only we
do not say let the other fellow
do it
Suggestions for the pack-
ages: handkerchiefs, sox,
cigarette, candies, and many
other articles or number of ar-
ticles depending on the donors
judgment.
Many of the stores in the
cosnty have colorful posters in
windows calling your atten-
tion to this drive, and1 if you do
not understand what is want-
ed ask inside the store.
The need for this early
drive is obvious, as all of these
packages must be delivered to
a central distribution point
where all will be addressed
with some soldiers name
checked from the hospital reg-
ister that none will be missed.
Any overflow of packages
will be distributed to other
councils out of this area who
might not have sufficient pack-
ages to go around. Please at-
tend to this at once as these
boys have already attended to
our welfare.
The next cooncil meeting
will be held at Harmon Hospi-
tal in Longview, Wednesday,
Ncv. 10th, 2 p. m. A large
Shelby county delegation is
urged. Call Mrs. Naylor, coun-
ty chairman.
