NIXON WINS SCHOLARSHIP IN
STATE-WIDE COTTON CONTEST
--------• __
““ Gary Nixon, 15, son of Mr. and
Mrs. R. D. Nixon, Deport R2, is
one of the seven 4-H cotton pro-
ducers in the state to be awarded
i an Anderson - Clayton cotton
scholarship for 1950. Gary will
receive a $200 scholarship, pro-
vided he studies agriculture when
.he enrolls in college. /
, The scholarship 4-H Cotton Im-
provement program is sponsored
by the Extension Department of
A. & M College.
In 1950 Gary planted 5 acres,
rented from a neighbor. He used
100 pounds 5-10-5 fertilizer, ap-
plied at planting time and used
D. P. I. cotton seed—-which had
been culled and treated; seed
were planted on April 28. He
poisoned on June 6-12 and in July
side-dressed with amonia ni-
trate. Dressed four times in
August w ith Tox 20 Sulphur 40—
, 8 lbs. DDT
From the five acres he gather-
ed 1592 pounds of lint cotton or
average of 318 4 lbs. per acre. The
county average last year was Mj
, bale per acre, according to Coun-
I ty Agent Tom Prater, who gave
this newspaper the above inform-
ation over the telephone on Tues-
day night
Nixon won the right to com-
pete in the state-wide contest
when it was announced last De-
I. cember that he had won first
I place in Area 4. comprising thirty
I Northeast Texas counties.
II Gary has an outstanding schol-
I [ astic record in Deport Hi in
I scholarship and student activities.
• The land upon which he grew tne
cotton belongs to Fred Shuman.
