HOW TO BRING THE NATION
"out of the doldrums is a problem,
that has been engaging therat-
tention of the nation’s best minds
dme—thinkers, from President
Roosevelt ( to Ame “ How to speed

the unemi, to find markets

Oregon an organization which
Publishes the Industrial News
Review, sent out a questionaire to
Country editors thruout the nation.
first question was as follows:
“.Assuming it were within your
" power to pass one national law
that you believe would spur in-
vestment and industrial expan-
sion, and create employment and
steady jobs, what law would you
pass ? ...
As might be expected, there was a
Wide range of solutions offered.
s Yet the majority were agreed that
a the passage of a law that would
it impossible for the govern-
remit to engage in activities which
ISkPcustomarily regarded as the
aeper realm for private enter-
thse, was the fundamental solution
the problem.
The next largest number suggest-
ed legislation which would make
labor unions equally responsible
with employers. And other sug-
gestions upon which a substantial
number of editors were agreed as
offering a possible solution, were
as follows:
1. Passage of the Townsend Plan,
or some similar law.
2. A sales tax to replace all or
most other taxes.
3. Passage of the General Welfare
Act (H.R. 4199).
4. Reduce number of government
employes and bureaus.
5. Revive the NRA.
6. Hours and wages law.
7. Tax securities which arc now
tax exempt.
THE SECOND QUESTION sub-
1 mitted to the country editors
was as follows:
Assuming it were within your
power to repeal one existing na-
tional law, that, your opinion,
is now discouraging investment,
industrial expansion and em-
ployment, what law would you
repeal?

Plans were drafted here last
Thursday at the first quarterly
meeting of the directors of the
Texas Hereford Association for a
series of educational tours over
Texas’s ranching country, the first
trip to begin about May 15, with
dates for others to be announced
later.
Twenty-one of the 23 directors
of the association were present for
the morning session, held at the
new office of Jamie Brook, presi-
dent. Following the business meet-
ing, a barbecue was served by Mrs.
Brook, assisted by Miss Mary Jef-
fers. Thursday afternoon, the group
drove to the Brook Hereford Ranch
where some of Mr. Brook’s pure-
bred cattle were inspected.
Frank P. Holland, publisher of
' Farm and Ranch magazine, and re-
presentative of the State Fair at
Dallas, met with the directors and
conferred with them relative to
plans for a livestock show in con-
nection with the fair, next Fall.
R. J. Kinser, secretary of the A-
merican Hereford Association,
Kansas City, attended the session.
Jack Turner of Fort Worth, secre-
tary of the Texas Hereford As-
sociation was also here, these two
being guests in the Brook home
from Tuesday through Thursday.
Aside from an occasional dead
leaf still clinging to a limb, scarce-
ly a trace of the freeze the early
part of April is now in evidence,
so well have the trees all leaved
out again. And here’s a tip worth
noting: Some folks even believe
we will have some sort of a pecan
crop this fall; they say they can
discern evidence of nutlets form-
ing on the branches of pocan trees.
First report of this nature came
from Comanche county, but the
past week-end a McCulloch citizen
volunteered the same information.
He said within the next week or
two. he would be able to say defi-
nitely whether his surmise is cor-
rect.
* **
Whereupon was raised the ar-
gument that is was next year’s
liecan crop that was killed by
the freeze, on the theory that
this year’s blooms make next
year’s pecans. However, the ma-
jority opinion is that this theory
is all wrong. The blooms with
which the pecan trees are laden
almost before they even begin
to leaf out, are the male flower;
the female forms the nutlet, and
this is invariably upon new
growth. Some local pecan grow-
ers aver they have had nuts pro-
duced by trees which have never
I bloomed: the theory being that
the nutlet blooms were fertil-
ized by other trees. J. A. Hark-
rider of Nine Saturday averred
that he had a pecan tree to pro-
duce nuts the first year it bloom-
ed, thus discounting the theory
that this year’s blooms produce
next year’s nuts.
Folks who have never seen a
century plant bloom, ar going to
have plenty of opportunity to do
so this year. Ed Campbell, out
at Pear Valley, says hi twin cen-
tury plants are coming along
nicely with their bloom- One has
run up a stalk something like 20
or 21 feet in height, and nearly
as big around as a telephone post.
Branches are forming at the top,
and these will be blooming before
ing, the plant died. Chas, then
took some small plants out to
the ranch with him, and a year
or two ago, one of these plants
bloomed. It also died after
blooming. The plant now de-
veloping the stalk necessary to
blooming, was another of the
small plants which he trans-
planted from his residence here
to the ranch nineteen years ago.
Chas, says the large wax-like,
bell-shaped blooms are mighty
pretty to behold, and as soon as
his plant gets in bloom, he is go-
ing to invite his friends out to
see it.
The fishing season, closed during
the spawning months of March and
April, opened with a bang May 1st.
And, since that date fell on Sun-
day, an alarming decrease in Sun-
day school attendance is reported
by local ministers. The cause—
well, your guess is as good as
mine! Incidentally, Edwin Broad
Saturday reported the biggest day’s
trade in fishing tackle and equip-
ment he had ever experienced. One
party of five making purchases at
the store hailed from New Mexi-
co; another party from Lubbock;
another from Abilene, and others
from various points in the state—
not to mention the local folks with
the fishin’ fever. Evidently the
streams and lakes to the south of
McCulloch are widely advertised
for fishing and outing.

If there were any McCulloch
citizens not pleased with the
general rain of Sunday a week
ago, they weren't in evidence on
the streets of Brady Saturday.
The only folks who disagreed
with The Standard's report of
a “Million Dollar Kain” were
those who averred that a “Two
Million Dollar” estimate would
have been nearer correct. The
rain came at the needed moment,
was universal over this immedi-
ate section, and not only got the
job done on oats and wheat, but
Stamp Taxes In Texas
Average $1.11, Person
Austin, April 30.—Stamp taxes
of various sorts in 1937 averaged
$1.11 for every man, woman and
child in Texas, according to a com-
pilation made today by Jesse
James, chief clerk in the State
Treasurer’s office.
From stamps on cigarets, beer,
liquor, wine and notes, the Treas-
urer collecter $6,665,334 last year,
James said, adding that the aver-
age cost to the State for collec-
tion was 1-6 of 1 per cent of the
amount collected.
He estimated this meant the sale
of $35,551,644 worth of cigarets,
20,911,026 cases of beer and 3,-
962,021 gallons of liquor.
Stamp tax collections in April
amounted to $1,025,655, Treasurer
Lockhart reported today.
Liquor brought in $278,569, wine
$16,970, beer $142,578, notes $31,-
045 and cigarets $556,492.

Straws show which way the wind

vote shows pretty definitely how
the nation thinks. If there are
any other and better solutions to
the questions asked, than the first
two listed, Sauce would like to
hear them. Government in busi-

are blighting industry, production

correcting these blighting influ-

LATEST FREEZE ON

W. W. Henderson. However,
Recalls Frost Which Killed
June Corn Back In ‘82-‘83
structing base and asphalt seal
coat on Highway 4.
Kerr—20.4 miles of leveling-up
and seal coat on Highways 27 and
39.
The killing freeze ot April 7-8th
was the latest ever experienced in
this country, according to W. W.
Henderson of the Lost Creek com-
munity. Mr. Henderson is one of
the real pioneers of McCulloch,
his father having settled at Lost
Creek back in 1874, and Mr. Hend-
erson now living on a place ad-
joining that where his father set-
tled. Despite this unusual experi-
ence, Mr. Henderson was undismay-
ed; he replanted the crops killed
by the freeze and says they came
up in surprising short time, and
that he has already plowed them
out.
While the April freeze was the
latest he ever experienced, es-
pecially with all vegetation so far
advanced at so early a date, Mr.
Henderson recalls that back eith-
er in 1882 or ’83 this section was
visited by a frost that killed June
corn. The corn, which had grown
as high as a man’s head, hung over
limp and dead after the frost, and
never did come out.
Mr. Henderson was only a small
lad when his folks located in Mc-
Culloch, and while he admits to
being past the allotted three score
years and ten, he nevertheless is
in good health, is active, can still
do a good day’s work, and enjoys
life to the fullest extent. Mr.
Henderson is not only a pioneer as
to residence, but likewise he is a
pioneer among Brady Standard
subscribers, having subscribed to
and been a constant reader of the
paper since virtually the first is-
sue. His mission here Monday was
to give us his renewal for another
year, and for which he has our
sincere thanks.
Mrs. V. L. Jackson of Rochelle
has been enjoying a visit from
Mrs. R. E. Williams of DeLeon

her home Saturday.
Rochelle emerged as the winner
of the all-round McCulloch County

added 20 points to their score as a
result of the county playground

The ward school division was the
only division where the champion-
ship had not yet been determined
because of close competition a-
mong a number of schools. The
final returns were: Rochelle 88,
South Ward 6212, Central Ward
62, and Lohn Grammar School 62.
The Rochelle Ward School will re-

Bulldogs counted in three events,
the 440-yard dash, won by Doug-
las Calley in the crack time of
50.7 seconds; first in the mile re-
lay, and fourth in the half-mile
run. Kirklin failed to place in the
javelin, being unable to get any-
thing like the throw he did the
week before when he hurled the
spear 172 feet for a new regional
record.
Other schools to compete in the
high school division and who made
points, were Kenedy, 10 2-8; Som-
erset. 8; Harlandale, 7: Carrizo
Springs, 6; Thomas A. Edison, 6;
Luling, 51; Lockhart, - 6; Rock-
springs, 5; San Antonio Tech, 4;
Odem, 3; Jourdanton, 2; Pawnee,
1; Kerrville, 1; Cotulla, 12; Ma-
rion, 2-8.
Calley breezed through the 440
and won with ease, finishing some
eight yards ahead of Jarvis of 0-
dem, who placed second. Calley
was due to run the 220-yard dash,
but he was not feeling up to par
that night and was withdrawn
from that event. Amos Lewallen,
Brady Junior High star, ran fourth
in the 880, and Brady’s relay team
of Calley, Roby Sheffield, Julian
Parker and J. M. Kirklin, came in
first in this event, defeating Brack-
enridge, the team that nosed out
the Bulldogs at the Texas Relays
last month. Brady’s time was
3:33.4.
Fidlowing the San Antonio meet,
Coach Russ Holland announced that
the 1938 relay team had run its
best race, which would not be good
enough to win the State title this
week, and that the Bulldogs would
not enter the mile relay at Austin.
Instead, during the week, Calley,
Kirklin and Lewallen will be
groomed for their specialties. Cal-
ley will enter the 220- and 440-
yard dashes, Kirklin will throw the
javelin and Lewallen will run the
880. Sheffield and Parker have
turned in their suits, completing
the third straight successful track
season for Brady High School.
