Local Man Plans
To Fool Sabine Deer
With Crotalaria
Mr. C. O. Black, of Carthago, whose
farm lies past the Sabine River, has
had quite a hit of trouble growing
peas as a summer cover crop in the
past several years due to the num-
erous deer in the vicinity.
If any of you eeer hunters doubt
there being many deer in the Sabine
bottom in the northern end of the
county, ask Mr. Black. Just about
the time when his pea plantings us-
ually ripen, about twenty to twenty-
five deer visit the patch nightly and
eat it back to nothing.
This year Mri Black plans to plant
Crotalaria. a summer legume which
is not palitable to stock, or rattle.
Crotalaria may be drilled or broad-
cast. and since it Is a legume, it
puts nitrogen iu the soil, and also
should be fertilized with acid phos-
phate. Crotalaria grows a very large
amount i*f green matter which can
be turned under in the fall of the
year as green manure after it has
made seed Because it seeds very
readily, it will come back the follow
Ing year voluntarily. However, the
seeds may be picked from the pods
as they ripen. The lowest ripen first.1
and as they do so burst, scattering
the seed. Therefore It is necessary
to watch the plants and pick the
pods when they are ripe, but before
they burnt.
Crotalaria is ralrly draught resis-
tant, and therefore usually stays
green throughout the summer and I*
still green when it is time to tarn it
under in the fall. ThLs far surpasses

Distribution Payment To Be Made
On 1942 Peanut Plantings

oil peanuts to dlsignated grower
agencies under the 1942 peanut pro-
gram will receive additional pay-

state AAA office.
The payments will be made at S10

Truck Certificates
Not Transferable
Certificates of War Necessity and
•vT" ration gasoline coupons are not
to be transferred along with tlUev to
trucks, the Texas ITtDA War Board
has been advised by ODT.
ODT pointed out that violation of
this regulation may result In suspen-
sion or revocation of Certificates.
When transfers are completed, the
the now operators should file appli-
cations for Certificates of War Neces-
sity. Failure to file the application
also may result In suspension of Cer-
tificates. the ODT said.
Single unit operators who make
transfers must return Certificates to
their district ODT office and surrend-
ed unused "T" coupons to their
local War Price and Rationing
Boards. Fleet operator's are required
to advise the rearest OIYT district
office of their action and return the
appropriate sub-certlflcate.
According to the ODT, operator*

substantially changing the nature of
their business must Inform their local

The “come and gel it” call never comes loo early for
hungry soldiers at the end of a (lay’s march. It’s a
welcome call for pipeliners, too, as they wind up
their day’s work of patroling gas transmission lines.'
Important as a means of cutting down on transporta-
tion, these maintenance crews usually make two-week
Journeys—pitch camp to eat, and sleep where the
day’s work leaves them.
By keeping thousands of miles of high-pressure gas
lines throughout the Gulf South in tip-top shape, these
, crews are performing a vital war-time service. For
on the efficiency of these huge steel arteries greatly
depends the output of war materiel. And nothing
must interfere with the production of ships, guns,
tanks, and planes that means success or failure to
our heroic defenders of freedom. '
