Washout Sends
Train Off Tracks
Near Waxahachie
DOWNTOWN COW DRAWS ATTENTION—An artificial cow took its place in Sulphur Springs’
business district Friday as a symbol of the new dairying expansion campaign being launched in
this area. The elevated milking parlor occupied by the “animal” in the front of the J. C. Penney
Store and the simple milker attached are being promoted as key factors for increasing milk
pioduction by small dairymen. Looking, on, left to right, are Glenn Warden, Carnation Company
field representative; Elton Morris, president of the Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce; R. S.
Plummer, Carnation general manager here, and Earl Bigbie, Penney store manager. (Staff Photo

An intensive campaign for the
expansion of small farmer dairy
production in the Sulphur Springs
area was officially launched Fri-
day with the dedication of a
downtown exhibit illustrating a
key feature of the program.
The display consists of a life-
sized artificial cow standing in
one stall of a simple walk-through
elevated milking parlor and at-
tached to a low cost milking ma-
chine.
The exhibit is in front of the
J. C. Penney Store on the west
side of the square. The artificial
cow, a Holstein model, was
brought here from Jackson. Miss.
Costing only around $200, the
parlor-machine installation is be-
ing used to spearhead the cam-
paign for increased manufactur-
ing type milk production being
conducted by the Carnation Com-
pany and the Hopkins County
Chamber of Commerce.
Good Result. Predicted
R. S. Plummer, Carnation Com-
pany manager here, expressed
confidence that an increase of at
least 25 per cent in .manufactur-
ing milk production will be ob-
tained during the first year of the
new program.
"We feel this is a very far-
reaching thing for all this area,’’
he declared. “It has a tremendous
pMaeMti'^ ......
“We are confident that in the
period of one year we will obtain
an increase of at least 25 to 35
per cent. This has been our ex-
perience in other areas.”
Plummer pointed out that the
first year of a similar program
carried out in Mississippi resulted
in a production increase of 38
per cent. Gains in the Carolinas
ranged from 26 to 30 per cent.
Boob to Small Dairyman
“We have great hopes for this
program here,” he added. “We
think it is the solution for the
small dairyman, including those
who might have a job somewhere
else. It makes it so much easier
for him to do his milking that he
can stay in the dairy business
might be
the premi-
by
where otherwise he
tempted to drop out.”
Plummer pointed to
urns being offered„to dairymen
Carnation under the program and
expressed again his company's de-
termination to stay in business in
Sulphur Springs despite the grad-
ual shrinkage in milk supplies ex-
perienced during recent years.
“We feel this is dairy country
and that we should be here and
provide a market for the milk
produced,” he said. “We are in a
position to take all milk offered
every day of the year, regardless
of quantity. We feel we have the
best ungraded market in Texas.”
Sale. Call. Planned
Carnation field personnel and
Chamber of Commerce members
plan to call on prospects in a 50-
mile radius of Sulphur Springs to
promote instalaition of the new
milking parlors and expanded
production.
Glenn Warden, Carnation field
representative, explained
downtown display shows only half
of the walk-through facilities.
Working models include a second
elevated stall to help speed the
milking process.
A driving rain dampened the
atmosphere for the dedication
ceremony, But enhanced pros-
pects for fall pastures and
eessful dairying in this area.

Heavy Fall Rains Pound
Sulphur Springs Area
Heavy fall rains pounded the
Sulphur Springs area Friday, run-
ning up approximately 4.00 inch-
es of moisture by mid-afternoon.
Weather Observer Ralph Hill
reported Sulphur Springs’ rainfall
at 2:30 p.m. as 4.13 inches since
7 a.m. Friday and 4.25 inches for
the two-day total.
The downpour broke an eaily
fall dry spell in this immediate
area and was beginning to pour
water into Century Lake for the
first time since completion of the
dam repair project.
City Manager Jack Henderson
predicted the 550-acre reservoir
would be more than half filled
from rain that had fallen by early
afternoon.
Whit* Oak Flowing
Water in the like at that time
was confined to the creek chan-
nels, but a considerable runoff
was anticipated from the prolong-
ed downpour.
White Oak Creek was flowing
at the Highway 11 crossing a
short distance above the lake
early this afternoon.
Rebuilding of the Century
Lake dam was completed several
weeks ago after a section had
beend destroyed by flood waters
in the creek last full.

an opening in the intake tower
still is being awaited, but the
hole has been blocked tempoiar-
ily. Henderson said some water
might leak into the tower and go
on downstream, but expressed
belief the volume would not be
enough to chain the lake.
Good For Farmer.
In contrast to the spotted
showers which have occurred over
the county eariei this month, Fri-
day’s tain appeared general in na-
ture as well as ample in volume.
It was viewed happily by most
farmers, some of whom had been
encountering trouble with fall
planting due to the dry condition
of the ground. The moisture also
was regarded as a boon to late
pastures. V-'
Cotton harvesting will be de-
layed for several days after the
sky clears.
Hill said light rain started fall-
ing about 5:30 a. m. after drizzle
during the night. The measure-
ment at 7 a. m. was .12 inch. The
volume picked up sharply during
the morning to total 2.03 inches
at 11:30 a. m. Another 1.4 7 inch-
es fell between that tune and
1 :20 p. m.
Biggest Since June
It was the heaviest tain since
last Jur.e 15, when 4.25 inches
was recorded.
The deluge brought the city’s
1958 moisture total to 11.19 inch-
es, which si 1.55# inches over the
39.ti0-inch normal precipitation
figuie for the entire year.
Varying only 6 degrees over
l the last 24 hours, temperatuies
■ tended to work their way lower
. as the volume of rain increased
during the day.
The mercury hit a high point
! of 75 degrees Thursday after-
i noon, reached a ' low of 70 de-
grees overnight and had slid
down to 69 degrees at noon.
Hill reported relative humid-
ity as 100 per cent and baro-
metric pressure as 29.88 inches.
Weather observers said the
rains covered a wide area of
North Texas and were caused by
moist, warm Gulf air flowing
north over the layer of cool air
covering this area.
