THE BOGATA TRIBUNE

VOLUME FOUR
BOGATA. Red River County. TEXAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1961
PRICE: 5 CENTS A COPY
Timely Topics
By MK8. DOROTHY HOPKINS
County WHO Agent
Here again is the 4H Achieve-
ment Banquet. On Thursday
Ihe 4Hers, their parents and
sponsors of 4H will attend the
banquet at which many will re-
ceive awards and recognition for
their accomplishments this year.
With so many 4Hers in our
county, it is a hard decision for
the agents and leaders to make
ir. giving awards to those who
should receive the different
medals
We are most happy that Cal-
vin Pigg, Radio Farm Director
of WBAP in Fort Worth, is to
be our speaker. An interesting
program is in store for
who attend.
With the many activities sche-
duled for the women in Red
River County one of the most
interesting to attend is the An-
nual Crafts Day. Crafts Day
will be at the Bogata Commu-
nity House, November 13 with
the registration beginning at
9.30 a.m. Each person attending
brings a covered dish and her
eating equipment. Each club at-
tending will have a “show how"
demonstration of a craft that
they have learned this year.
After all .club demonstrations
have been given, an auction sale
is conducted and proceeds go
to the council for its expenses.
Homemakers that will be
sewing with wools and blends of
wool should have their mater-
ials pre-shrunk at the cleaners,
or use a home method. Loosely
woven materials will sometimes
shrink up to 2 to 3 inches and
this will affect the finished pro-
duct. It is very harmful to have
a garment stretched after it
has been made and cleaned. It
weakens the seams, weakens
strength of fabric and it will
have a “pulled” or “stretched”
appearance.

POST OFFICE AIDS
Ml LIVESTOCK SURVEY
Rural mail carriers from the
Bogata Post Office will leave
some livestock survey cards
along their routes beginning
November 16.
“Information reported on the
cards is used to set the yearly
Inventory of livestock and poul-
trry on Texas farms,” Postmas-
ter A. C. Johnson explained.
Rural carriers distribute the
cards at random in boxes along
their routes. “This means that
not every box will get a card,”
Johnson said. “For this reason,
it’s important for everyone who
gets a card to return it filled
cut so that USIJA can get a
true sample of the State’s live-
stock holdings.”
Carriers assisting with the
survey are:
Fred Rodgers, Route 1 and
Howard E Bryson, Route 2.
Facts and figures secured in
this survey ae the basis for the
Texas and National pig crop
report and inventories of live-
stock and poultry on farms as
of the first of the year. Stock-
men and many others use this
information in making business
decisions.
Survey results will be widely
distributed through Texas Crop
