years from the Koon farm to the
territory around Denison, Texas,

programs have been put to work
by many dairymen.

Houston, Aug. 20.—The Gulf
Oil Corporation has been given
permission to drill an oil well on
the Houston ship channel near
Spillman’s Island.
The company is posting a bond
o ftwo and half million dollars
against any possible danger to
navigation.
The dredging of a channel for
the company begins Monday. The
special channel will hold a float-
ing barge from which the well
will be drilled.

Market Combs to tko Cows
Another important factor in
making dairyings the leading busi-
ness in Hopkins' County was the
building of two [arge milk plants
in Sulphur Springs, one of them
s Kraft Foods paint. From these
plants, dairy products go to the
big Texas markets which had long
been importing Hairy products
from other sectior.V of the United
States at added cost. Following
establishment of these plants, the
value of the dairy products in-
creased almost 200 per cent in n
five-year period.

One way to see the change is

C of C Call Plan
Knowing what boys like Her-
bert Anderson have done in the
past, the Chamber of Commerce
has planned a heifer program to
help Hopkins County's young
dairymen. Heifer*, six to 12
months old, will be given to farm
boys. The boys will raise the heif-
ers, have them bred artiflcally
and return the first heifer calf to
be given to another boy. So herds
will be started. Better bred ani-
mals will ba foundation animals
of these herds of the future.

A couple who started around
the world in a converted Army
amphibious truck—Mr. and Mrs.
Benjamin Carlin—have been pick-
ed up at sea after drifting in the
Atlantic for 10 days. The couple
now is bound for Halifax, Nova
Scotia aboard the tanker New Jer-
sey. The Carlins had planned to
make the Atores their first stop.
The tanker radioed the Coast
Guard last night that it had pick-
ed up the Carlins 270 miles east
of New Yoork. There was no men-
tion of what was done with their
craft.
When they started, the Carlins
figured they could ride and sail
around the world in elx months.
Their craft was the type used by
