Peaches Coming
A Texas peach crop that’s ex-
pected to be of the best quality
yet has started rolling into market
from the West Cross Timbers
area and the northeastern part of
the state.
Most growers in both areas
have carried out intensive spray-
ing schedules throughout the
growing season, which is produc-
ing worm and rot free peaches.
During the last half of July
and well into August, the yellow
freestone peaches, Fairs Beauty,
Halehaven,, TexDeria and others,
will be coming in. The Elbertas
will start moving in early August.
The big crop is coming from
some 6 million trees, most of them
are around Weatherford, Eastland
and Commanche in the West
Cross Timbers area. Approxi
mately one million of the fruit
trees, mostly Elbertas, are in the
vicinity of Avery, DeKalb and
Omaha, Texas.
For the first time in several
years, housewives will have a
chance to combine this quality
peach crop with unlimited sup-
plies of sugar. The peaches will
go by way of truck to every city
in Texas.
This is the time of year when
animals often get prussic acid
poisoning when turned on grasses
whose growth have been stopped
or retarded by drouth, trampling
or overgrazing. Smart stockmen
are feeding hay before turning
cows on pasture.

WHY long distance
lines are so busy
Long distance telephones are carry-
ing a heavier traffic load today than
even in wartime. Business men in
search of merchandise, manufac-
turers and builders in need of equip-
ment, naturally use the telephone
as the quickest way to reach
suppliers. Our long distance
lines are still overloaded, so
telephone “traffic jams”
occur. If you have a few
minutes’ wait when call-
ing long distance, please
be patient. Today, as al-
ways, telephones carry a
lot of important business.

“Be prepared” is a good motto for the good old summer-time, w
when guests are apt to drop in unexpectedly. So here are some '
delicious dishes you can fix at your leisure and keep in your

Aid To Builders
A lot of us are thinking about
building; homes these days—and
if you’re like us—there’s a lot
about building you don’t under-
stand. Meaning, for one thing,
the many technical terms used by
engineers, architects, contractors
and carpenters. The Extension
Service of Texas A&M College
has tried to help you out on that
score—and has just put out a
small circular called "Frame
House Construction Details.” In
this small leaflet you’ll find a
skeleton drawing of a house—
showing how it’s built—with a
list explaining about siding,
sheathing, bridging, anchor bolts
and so on. William S. Allen, Ex-
tension agricultural engineer in
charge of farm buildings says that
by using these terms and insist-
ing upon good construction meth-
ods, you il be putting permanence
i od soundness into your building.
Write to the Texas A&M College
Extension Service, College Sta-
tion, and ask for Circular No.
C-237.
The average American farmer
is in the best financial condition
he’s ever been in before.
Play Safe With Electricity
If you’re making plans to make
electricity changes around the
farm soon, you may want to hear
this warning from William S.
Allen, of the Texas A&M College
Extension Service. Mr. Allen is
agricultural engineer in charge
of farm building and he tells us
that amateur wiring or overload-
ing of electrical equipment may
cause a bad fire on your farm.

too.
You’ve probably tried the old
trick of putting a penny in a
blown out fuse box. It might
work a few times, but actually
it’s just like tying down a safety
valve on a boiler.
The best way to play safe with
electricity, says Mr. Allen, is to
have a responsible electrician in-
ti* . . . spect your electrical setup and
changes.
Mr. Allen warns especially
against overloading circuits with
temporary wiring. Homemade ex-
tensions to the barn or other out-
buildings have been a big cause
of fires in the past.
And if an electrical fire does
break out, don’t use water to put
it out. That may sound peculiar,
but Mr. Allen explains that a
stream of water can conduct
electricity into your body with
very unpleasant or even fatal re-
sults. He advises getting an ap-
proved carbon dioxide extinguish-
er, or vaporizing liquid fire ex-

L-JAICF.E CORONA STARLIGHT 2096960
Her production of 1087.3 pounds fat and 27,408 pounds milk
with a test of 4.0% gives L JaiCee Corona Starlight top place among
Texas owned Holstein-Friesian cows who have completed official
production records in the 3X division of the 365-day test in Ad-
vanced Regitery, announces The Holstem-Friesian Association of
America. She is owned by Neale Farms, Waco, Texas.
In addition to her outstanding production, she has also been
classified “excellent” in body conformation, which is the highest
score an animal can receive in the official classification program.
She was on pasture throughout her lactation, reports Manager
D. I. Dudley at Neale Farms. In fact, she didn’t spend a single night
in the barn during the production period, he said. All feeds tha
in the barn during the production period, he said. All feeds that
she ate were grown on the farm with the exception of beet pulp,
wheat bran and cotton seed meal, he reported. Also, she has quali-
ties other than superior type and production ability: “She is a good
feeder—never off feed—and an easy breeder—two services at most
for a calf.” She has two young daughters in the Neale Farm herd
and also a yearling son by the favorably proven sire. Caranation

the 3X milking division of the Advanced Registery test and she is
the 402nd Holstein-Friesian cow in^the nation to have an official
365-day record of more than 1,000 pounds of fat regardless of age

comes from water pressure only.
You push a button to direct the
water through a chamber which
contains the detergent that cleans
the dishes. Another push of the

The entire machine is enclosed in

Home Canning Tomatoes
Tomatoes ripening on garden
vines are a bright signal to h'ome
canners to get directions and sup-
plies ready for the country’s
favorite among the home-canned
vegetables. Rich in flavor and
vitamin C, tomatoes are the easi-
est of vegetables to can, and the
only common garden vegetable
that does not require a steam
pressure canner.
Some experimental canning
gives evidence that raw-packed
tomatoes hold color and shape
better than hot-packed. Not much
difference was noted in flavor.
Tomatoes not heated sufficient-
ly in canning will not keep in
storage.
Here are the directions for can-
ning tomatoes: Use only perfect,
ripe tomatoes. To loosen skins,
dip into boiling water for about
half a minute, then dip quickly
into cold water. Cut out stem
ends and peal tomatoes.
Leave tomatoes whole, or cut
in halves or quarters. Pack toma-
toes to one-half inch of top, press-
ing gently to fill spaces. Fill with
tomato juice or hot water. Add
a half teaspoon salt to pints and
one teaspoon to quarts. Have
water in canner hot but not boil-
ing to prevent breakage of glass.
Steam pints 10 minutes, quarts 12
minutes. Remove from canner
and refill if necessary. Process
pint and quart jars 25 minutes.
As soon as jars are removed from
canner, complete seals if closures
are not of self-sealing type.
Merry Widow Opened
At Casino Monday—
Roberta Next Week
With beautiful songs, lavish
costumes and settings and brisk
dialogue predominating, Franz
Lehar’s superb operetta, “The
Merry Widow”, ushered in its
seven day run Monday night, July
21, at the State Fair Casino be-
fore a large and appreciative audi-
ence. All performers received ac-
colades for their work with spec-
ial praise going to Allen Jones
as Prince Danilo; Dorothy Sandlin
as the widow, Sonia; Davis Cun-
ningham as Camille de Jolidon;
Eric Brotherson as Nish; Joseph
Macauley as Baron Popoff and
Xenia Bank as Natalie. The Le-
har score, containing such hits as
“Villia, “Love in My Heart”, “Wo-
men” and “Maxims”—to mention
but a few—was accorded heavy
rounds of applause by those who
viewed the opening.
Coming up next on the Casino
scene, for the week of July 28, is
one of the top shows of the year:
‘Roberta”. The great musical that
became the springboard for star-
dom for both Bob Hope and Fred
McMurray is jammed to the
theatrical walls with some of the
nation’s top talent for its Casino
run. Heading the great cast will
be one of the country’s finest
singers, the “I Want To Get Mar-
ried” girl, Gertrude Niesen, star
of stage, screen and radio. With
Miss Niesen will be lovely MGM
starlet, Ann Ayars. Handling the
comedy of the show will be one
of the theare’s fastest coming
comedians, Lew Parker, star of
the smash Broadway musical,
“Are You With It?” George Brit-
ton will play John Kent in the
production and Casino dance di-
rector Maurice Kelly will step in-
to the cast to do some of the
dancing that has made him so
famous. The score is from the
talented pen of Jerome Kern and
features such hits as “Smoke Gets
In Your Eyes”, “Devastating”,
“Let’s Begin” and “Lovely to
Look At”, to name but a few of
the show’s top numbers.

Rural Electrification in Texas
A he Texas Power & Light Company began its rural electrification program back ia
1915. By 1921, we had brought electricity to 6,926 farm and rural families. This
number has almost doubled every ten years since, as we consistently added more
and more lines, reaching a greater number of farm families each year. Now, ap-
proximately 7,000 miles of TP&L rural lines alone serve more than 68,000 farm and
rural customers.
More than thirty years of research, development and experience have shown
our engineers the most economical way to extend these rural lines. As a result, we
have been able to provide dependable, low-cost rural electric service to farms and
rural homes throughout the 52-county area served.
The Company also supplies electric power at wholesale to 21 REA Distribution
Cooperatives which in turn serve many thousands of additional rural and farm home*.
The rate at which this Company supplies service to these Cooperatives is one of the
lowest in the nation, and is lower than that of the Tennessee Valley Authority to
Cooperatives in its area.
A continuous rural expansion program is being carried out in North, East and
Central Texas by Texas Power & Light Company, and 1947 plans call for the con-
struction of 1,000 miics of new rural lines to serve approximately 9,000 new cus-
tomers living on farms and in rural communities.
