A DIRECT IMPORT FROM BROADWAY, “GEORGE
M!” with the full New York cast, sets and costumes, will
be seen at the Music Hall from Oct. 3 to 19 as the special
attraction for the State Fair of Texas. This family-appeal
musical, based on the famous “Yankee Doodle Dandy”
showman who dominated Broadway in the early 1900’s,
stars Joel Grey as George M. Cohan, seen here in the
high-stepping song-and-dance hit, “Give My Regards To
Broadway.” The show is loaded with time-honored Cohan
melodies such as “I’m A Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “Over
There,” and “You’re A Grand Old Flag.”
man with a plan
Biggest farm bargain?
If you want more income from farming, here are
several things you can do:
1. Buy more land (Cost: Over 100% higher than in
1950).
2. Hire extra help (Cost: About 65% more than 1950).
3. Buy bigger machinery (Cost: Over 50% more than
1950).
4. Boost yields with fertilizer (Cost: About 7% more
than 1950).
FARM COST COMPARISONS:
According to USDA fig-
ures, the only crop pro-
duction cost that has
not skyrocketed in re-
cent years is plant
food. That’s why if
you’re after extra in-
come, fertilizer is the
best buy of the year.
