Strong Demand Exists For Good Grades
Of All Types Of Cotton, Dallas Cotton
Exchange President Points Out
Texas cotton farmers are offer- staple length, he said, because of
ed one of the greatest opportunities
in history in 1958, says the Pres-
ident of the Dallas Cotton Ex-
change.
A strong demand exists for
good grades of cotton of every
type grown in all areas of the
state, according to Jack M.
Craugh, who heads the Dallas Ex-
change. .
The farmers who plant good
seed, handle their crop properly
during the season, and then har-
vest and gin for quality, face the
prospect of selling all their cot-
ton on the open market at a price
above the 1957 loan level, Craugh
believes.
There will be a shortage of
high grade cotton in 1958 of all
Rites Held Wed. For

Mrs. Roy T. Thomas of 6024
Penrose, Dallas, a resident of Dal-
las since 1921, and daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Wishard
of the Bagby community, died at
January 13,
her home Monday,
after a short illness.
Mrs. Thomas was
born near
Honey Grove. She was a charter
member of St. Andrew’s Presby-
terian Church in Dallas and a
member of the Women’s Auxiliary
and the Friendship Class of the
church.
Survivors include her husband;
a daughter, Mrs. W. A. Stanley,
Jr., of Dallas; two sons, Earl T.
Thomas of Ft. Worth and Ben W.
Thomas of Dallas; four sisters,
Mrs. Vina Vickers of Durant, Ok-
la., and Mrs. Ethel Taylor, Mrs.
L. E. Myers and Miss Alma Wish-
ard, all of Honey Grove, and
three brothers, H. E. Wishard of
Ft. Worth and Frank Wishard and

Grove.

drew’s Presbyterian Church, Skill-
man and Monticello, Dallas, with
Dr. Kenneth L. Mauldin and Dr.
James E. Detweiler officiating.

Reactor Operating
FRANKFURT, Germany —
West Germany’s second atomic
reactor has been put into opera-
tion at the Goether University
here, it was announced today. An-
other research reactor went into
operation recently in Munich.
Clothes Make the Man
A meek little man in a restau-
rant timidly touched the arm of
the man putting on an overcoat.
"Excuse me,” he said, “but do
you happen to be Mr. Smith of
Newport ?"
“No, I’m not! the man answer-
ed impatiently.
"Oh — er — well,” stammered
the first man,” you see, I am, and
that’s his overcoat you’re putting
on.”
the conditions created by the
short crop and bad weather dur-
ing harvest of the past season.
The American Cotton Industry
should be able to export from 5
to 6 million bales next year with
little difficulty, providing farm-
ers produce the cotton suitable
for export needs, Craugh declar-
ed.
The premium for good cotton
compared to low grade cotton
should be higher next year be-
cause of the demand situation,
Craugh said.
Unless Texas and American cot-
ton farmers meet the market de-
mands, Craugh believes that the
buyers will turn to foreign cot-
ton and synthetics to meet their
needs.
Three Burglaries
Cleared With Arrests
Of Ft. Worth Men
Three Fannin county burglaries,
two at Leonard and one at Bailey,
have been cleared with the arrest
of three Fort Worth men for run-
ning a stop sign in Dallas Wed-
nesday morning, last wetk.
• Sheriff Hoyt Ivey said that the
four men, one a former convict,
had made statements in regard to
the three burglaries in Bailey and
Leonard but denied any knowledge
of the Bob Inn safe knob-knocking
job.
Officers identified tbe four men
as John E. Whisenhunt, 28; Jesse
Milton, 22; Horace Murr, 21, and
Doyle Murr, 17.
All were charged with burglary
in complaints filed in Justice of
Peace Hamp Harper’s court Wed-
nesday.
The four men were arrested in
Dallas at 3 a. m. Wednesday by
A. J. Brown and J. H. Martin,
Dallas patrolmen, as they ran a
stop sign.
The Dallas officers found a boot
containing some $35 in silver hid-
den under the front seat. A further
search of the car revealed cartons
of cigarettes, a radio and anti-
freeze in the trunk of the car.
Sheriff Ivey said that some of
the loot taken in the burglary of
the A. M. (Boog) Savage grocery
store at Bailey was recovered at
the garage apartment of the four
men in Fort Worth.
Whisenhunt was sentenced to
five years in the state penitentiary
from Fannin county and was re-
leased last October, Sheriff Ivey
said.
Burglars entered the Grill 69 and
the Treadway service station at
Leonard Wednesday morning after
midnight and took cash, cigarettes
and anti-freeze.
County Attorney Tibby Wright
said that the grand jury likely
would be convened in mid-Febru-
ary at which time the burglary
cases would be considered.
Publishers Will
Discuss Rising
Costs at Session
Ways to combat rising costs will
be a topic of major interest at the
11th annual Mid-Winter Meeting of
the Texas Press Association on
January 25 in Austin.
“Constantly spiraling cost of op-
eration is today’s greatest prob-
lem for newspaper publishers,” said
TPA President Jimmie Gillentine,
publisher of the Hereford Brand.
“We’ve invited Johnny Barron of
LaSalle, Illinois to show us some
of the many ways he has devised
to cut costs in a newspaper’s me-
chanical department. His talk will
be one of the most popular at our
meeting.”
Barron is mechanical superinten-
dent for the LaSalle News-Tribune.
“He has conducted thousands of
experiments to find better ways of
performing the many varied jobs
in a newspaper printing plant and
is a popular speaker on the sub-
ject,” Gillentine added.
Another feature of the meeting is
a special afternoon session for the
ladies when Mrs. Kay Metz of the
Quaker Oats Company in Chicago
will speak. Mrs. Joe T. Cook of
Mission is chairman for the session
and Mrs. L. B. Smith of Brady is
vice chairman.
Publishers will begin their annu-
al winter meeting with an Early
Bird Breakfast which will be fol-
lowed by a business session. Speak-
ers to appear on the morning pro-
gram are Gov. Price Daniel; Texas’
former secretary of state, Tom
Reavley; and Ben Reddick, pub-
lisher of the News-Press at New-
port Beach, California.
Cayce Moore of Hearne, Texas,
will be the luncheon speaker and
Leo Aikman of the Atlanta (Ga.)
Constitution is scheduled for the
banquet speech.
Late in the afternoon the news-
papermen and women will be
guests of Governor and Mrs. Dan- I expected to attend.
General Increase
In Insurance Rates
Effective Jan. 1st
For the first time in fifteen
years, all fire insurance and ex-
tended coverage rates have been
increased in the Ladonia area.
1957 proved to be a bad year,
insurance wise, this newspaper
has been advised, due to a high
number of losses throughout the
country. For several years all
policy holders of dwellings have
been receiving a 53 per cent credit
on the rates the premiums were
figured. This is in addition to
whatever the particular city or
area of the state might have in
the way of fire loss credits or
penalties depending on the par-
ticular average in that area.
This 53% credit has been re-
duced to 48% for the entire state,
effective January 1. This amounts
to roughly a 5% increase in rates.
Rates on fire insurance and ex-
tended coverage for both dwell-
ings and business and industrial
properties are set by the State
Board of Insurance Commission-
ers, and are the same for all com-
panies. For individual areas
rates are based on a five year
average of premiums received
in comparison with covered losses.
Increase on extended coverage
insurance for dwellings — hail,
windstorm, etc., was also increas-
ed slightly over former rates.
Farm rates in the Ladonia
area have been increased 15 per
cent.

Announces For
Commissioner
This is to announce to the
people of Precinct No. 4 that I
will be a candidate for Count ,, been interested in helping
Commissioner in the 1958 Demo-

first served our precinct. I invite
you to check the financial condi-

this age for our school children
and people to be able to go over
the
roads at all times.

Turman Studies
Needs Of Aged
State Representative James A.
Turman of Gober announced today
that he will attend the organiza-
tional meeting of the legislature
committee to study the problems
and needs of the aged which will
meet in Austin on Wednesday.
Representative Turman co-au-
thored a resolution during the last
regular session of the 55th Legis-
lature which created this com-
mittee. He was appointed a mem-
ber of this committee by Speaker
Waggoner Carr of Lubbock.
Rep. Turman was elected to the
House of Representatives, serving
Fannin County, in 1954. He stat-
ed: “Since I have been a member
of the legislature, the average
grant for Old Age Assistance has
increased approximately 22 per-
cent. Also, the maximum grant
has been increased from $55 to
$60 per month during the same
period of time. I have always
our
senior citizens in every way pos-
sible.”
With this study, Texas is keep-
ing in step with other states as
they have similar study groups for
the aged. The committee will make
a thorough study of the present
and future needs of our aged cit-
izens. The results of its study will
be reported to the next regular
session of the legislature which
convenes in January 1959.

Ladonia Grabs
Double Victory
The girls of Ladonia had a vic-
tory Tuesday night, 32-20. Guards
for the Rattlers contained the
Bells’ forwards very well.
Due to the inability of the La-
donia forwards to hit as consis-
tently as in earlier games the fine
defensive work of the guards was
the highlight of the Rattler at-
tack.
Ann Liston sank 19 points to
lead the scoring for Ladonia.
The score was dead-locke 8-8 at
the end of the first period. The
Rattlers went ahead in the second
period and were never overtaken.
They have not lost a game in
three district contests, and are in
first place.
Boys Have Easy Time
The entire Ladonia bench saw
action as the Rattlers coasted to
an easy victory over Bells, 60-52.
The Rattlers scored first and
were never behind. Playing con-
trol ball, the Ladonia team main-
tained a comfortable lead through-
out the game.
The reserves for the Rattlers
played most of the last half and
played very good ball. The Rat-
tlers record in conference play is
now 2-1. Ladonia now holds down
second place.
Syl Dean Davis was high scor-
er for the Rattlers.
The next home game for the
Rattlers will be January 21 with
Whitewright.
Although the weather was quite
bad, the gym was very comforta-
ble and we had a nice crowd.
Both Ladonia teams journey to
Leonard Friday night.
The members of both Rattler
teams want to express our thanks
for the new dressing rooms which
were built in the basement of the
High School.
Rattlers Split Pair
With Trenton
The Ladonia girls defeated the
Trenton girls 46-34 last Friday
night. The Ladonia girls trailed
all the first quarter and part of
the second before going ahead to
win.
High scorer for the Rattlers was
Jo Nan Mills with 22 and Ann
Liston, also with 22 points.
Boys Have Bad Night
The Ladonia team was unable
to hit consistently for any length
of time at Trenton last week. The
Rattlers scored first but were
overaken and continued to trail
for the remainder of the game.
Butler was high for Trenton
and James Hemby scored 10 points
to lead the Rattlers in scoring.
The final score was 51-31.

Wheeless Writes
About Fruit
Tree Care
By Steve Wheeless
County Agent, Hunt County
“The colder the weather, the
better the fruit,” is generally the
old saying. Actually peach trees
need to have 850 hours or more
of cold below 45 degrees F. before
February 15. Research works from
Texas A & M College tell us that
about this time of the year, when
the daily temperature is high (20
degrees F. or higher), this type
of weather tends to nullify some
of the cold hours which have al-
ready accumulated.
Bruce plum growers hope for
cold weather this time of the year
too. It is not often that a plum
crop is lost in Texas due to late
spring freezes but it did happen
March 28, 1955, and caused a
complete failure.
January is a good month for
pruning fruit trees and applying
dormant oil spray for scale con-
trol. Two good Extension Service
Bulletins for fruits and nuts are:
(1) L1245, Texas guide for con-
trolling “Insects and Diseases on
Fruits and Nuts” and (2) MP-
190, "Peach and Plum Insects
and their control.” These bulle-
tins may be obtained at the Ex-
tension Service office in the court-
house in Greenville.
Many growers have had diffi-
culty in getting new trees to grow
successfully in old orchards. Work
now being done at the Experiment
Station at Tyler would indicate
that a great deal depends upon
the extra care that is given to
the young trees during the first
growing season. Best results come
from fertilizing the trees, after
growth has started, keeping down
weeds by hoeing and cltiva-
tion through regular orchard till-
age. It is so easy to replant a
strip ere and there in the orchard
and then forget to give the extra
care necessary to make the tree
grow successfully. Replanting can
be done if the orchardist is will-
ing to give extra care.

Old Cotton Belt Association Asks
Clarification On Soil Bank Provisions
The Old Cotton Belt Association
of Texas is asking the Agricul-
ture Department for a ruling on
whether or not a farmer loses his
allotment if he participates in the
Soil Bank for three years.
The 1938 Agriculture Adjust-
ment Act as amended, provides
that if a farmer does not plant
cotton for three sucessive years,
he loses his allotment, the county
loses it and the state loses it.
Also sought are these rulings: if
a farmer participates in the Soil
Bank for two years, will his his-
tory be based on one-year plant-
ing; and, if he takes part in the
Soil Bank for one year, will his
history be based on two years.
In other words, the Old Cotton
Belt Association wants to know
whether or not placing acreage in-
to the Soil Bank will eventually
count against the cotton farmer
in future allotments — because
2,193 Bales Cotton
Ginned Here
Bishop Gin has ginned a
total of 2,193 bales of cotton from,
the 1957 crop, J. C. Ward, mana-
ger announced Tuesday.
It was also estimated that
farmers in the Ladonia area were
practically through with the har-
vest and there would be only 20-
25 more bales harvested in this
area.
P-TA To Meet

the Ladonia Parent-Teacher As-
sociation will be held in the school
auditorium Monday evening, Janu-

of the fact the cotton is not ac-
actually planted as provided in
the 1938 law as amended.
The reason for this uneasiness
is because of the fact the old cot-
ton growing area voluntarily re-
duced its acreage in 1953, on the
representation that it would not
count against the farmer in fu-
ture allotment. However, it did
count against them.
The voluntary reduction in 1953
caused the old cotton growing
area to lose a large amount of
cotton acres for every year since
1954, as the 1953 plantings had
been used in figuring the history.
The Old Cotton Belt Association
tried to get the 1953 plantings re-
moved as a history factor, but it
was unsuccessful.
Now it wants to know what
happens to cotton acreage placed
into the Soil Bank as it pertains
to future allotments.
