RUSK, CHEROKEE COUNTY TEXAS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27,% 1945
Goals For Next
Year Announced.
Increase In
Several Major
Crops Desired
Texas farmers have been given the
green light for large scale produc-
tion of field crops, livestock, milk, and
poultry and poultry products in 194G.
Suggested production goals for
Jiext year were accepted by a large
group of farmers, and representa-
tives of the Texas Extension Service,
Production and Marketing Adminis-
tration, teaching departments of the
A. & M. College of Texas, and other
agencies working with agriculture at
a meeting on the College campus
December 17. The goals will be car-
ried to the counties in two-day edu-
cational meetings conducted by the
A. & M. College Extension Service,
with representatives of state and
Federal agricultural agencies parti-
cipating, during January and Febru-
ary.
The goals suggested for sweet po-
tatoes, flaxseed, corn, tame hay,
legumes and grasses, wheat, cotton,
cattle and calves, and spring pigs,
•represent ^increases over the 1945
indicated planted acreages and live-
• stock units. Sheep and lamb num-
bers are unchanged from the 1945
goal. Other goals are lower than the
1945 indicated totals.
B. F. Vance, state director of the
Production and Marketing Adminis-
tration presiding, said that acreage
allotments and marketing controls
would not apply to 1945 crop, live-
stock, poultry and dairy production.
IHe added that crop acreage repre-
sented in the goals exceeded 1945
planted acreages by more than 1,000,-
000.
Booklet Describe
Texas Pine Pests
Three new two-color booklets which
describe insects attacking Texas pine
trees have been released this week
by the Texas Forest Service, A. & M.
College, and are available free of
charge from that organization.
The titles of the booklets are:
"Pine Tip Moth," "The Southern
Tine Sawyer" and "Southern Pine
Bark Beetles".
The bulletins were prepared to an-
swer common questions asked by
farmers and other woodland owners
about pine tree insects. 1 ull details
with drawings describe the bugs and
suggest methods of preventing and
controlling attacks by them.
Southern pine beetles are the most
common insects which work on pine
timber in East Texas woodlands.
They kill standing timber, and quite
often the damage may run into ser-
ious proportions, the Texas Forest
Service reports. The southern pine
sawyer confines its attack to felled
timber and causes the most damage
in freshly cut pine logs. Pine tip moth
is the insect which works on the new
shoots of young pine trees.
The Texas Forest Service also re
ports that it has copies of a mimeo
graphed report now ready for the
public on some of the methods being
used in the attempt to kill undesir-
able hardwoods.
All of the free literature may be
obtained by addressing a post card
to the Texas Forest Service at Col-
lege Station.

Stores To Close
New Years Day
Rusk stores will observe New Years
Day by closing, it was announced
this week. This is one of the regular
holiday closing dates.
Now Best Time To
Kill Cattle Grubs
From now until the fifth of Jan-
uary is the time to give first treat-
ment to control cattle grubs. The
first crop is getting ready to emerge
from the cattle's backs and if treat-
ed at this time 100 per cent killed can
be obtained according to C. Metz
Heald, County Agent.
People wishing to control the grubs
can buy the medicine at most any of
the drug stores in the county. Grubs
killed now will save tremendous feed
this winter and at the same time
cattle will come out in the spring in
better condition.
This treatment is very economical
and easy to use and any farmer wish-
ing to kill the grub can do so by
following directions on the commer-
cial package. This is one way to save
meat for the victory, Mr. Heald points
out. Every cattleman should strive
to protect his -oattU Xar 1946 by
treating now.

THE WIZARD OF RUSK
The editor believes that people who
know him best are certain that he is
not boastful. So far as he remembers
no man has ever questioned a fish
story he has told; in fact, he does
not recall that any have even appear-
ed doubtful. Because of this veracious
record, he believes that few will doubt
his word when he states that he is
better at doing magic tricks than
any professional magician he has seen
on the stage.
By way of comparison, anybody
will grant that a magician can make
small items disappear so that only
he knows where they are. Well, the
editor can make them disappear so
completely that he himself does not
know where they are, and he has
never seen a professional so good
that he completely loses his gadgets.
The editor first became proficient
with small pieces of paper such as
a note about a subscriber's renew-
al, layouts of advertising copy, or
samples of printing to be duplicated.
He soon was able to make these fade
from his pocket, or even from his
hand, and disappear so thoroughly
there was no point in hunting for
them. Weeks or months later a few
were found in out-of-the-way places
as if an imp had hidden them. Some
have never been found. At first he
had a slight conscious recollection of
working the tricks and found a large
percentage of the articles. But with
practice he became so proficient that
he went about doing these stunts as
unconsciously as he breathes.
Make dodads disappear from a
hat? That's duck soup. The editor
can make the whole hat disappear
without giving it a thought! In fact,
as he gained more experience, he
gradually started using larger gad-
gets. Screwdrivers, pliers, hammers,
and oil cans followed after his print-
er's makeup rule and pica pole dis-
appeared. During recent months they
have grown to saws, axes, and even
a crowbar! Truly, to become a habit-
ual magician is just as serious as
to become a habitual anything else,
As intimated above, this is not
written in a spirit of boastfulness.
The truth is, as the editor looks
about his shop at the linotype, print
ing presses and such items, he be
comes very apprehensive. Such a
wizard might find himself without
the necessary equipment to produce a
newspaper. F. L. M.
Pride and Prejudice
To Be Presented By
TCU Dramatic Class
Jane Austen's "Pride and Preju-
dice" which is to be presented at the
Rusk high school auditorium Satur-
day night is being sponsored by the
junior and senior cllasses of the high
school, it was announced this week.
The play is being presented by the
Fine Arts Department of Texas
Christian University with a cast of
thirteen outstanding dramatic stu-
dents.
The group is making a stop-over in
Rusk for the show after presenting
it at Lufkin Friday night. Traveling
in a private bus with elaborate cos-
tumes, the group is making a tour
of this section. It is expected that
this will be one of the outstanding
entertainment programs of the win-
ter.
Admission prices have been set at
30c and 60c, which is considerably
less than is generally charged for
such a program. Commenting on this,
Supt. G. B. Chapman said he felt
it woyld be better to put the prices
low enough to make it possible for
a large number to attend.
GOFF REUNION
The six sons of Maggie Goff of
Rusk, who have been separated for
three years, spent Christmas together
at the home of their mother and were
entertained with a Christmas tree
and a turkey dinner Christmas day.
Also present were two daughters,
two sons-in-law, six daughters-in-
law, fourteen grandchildren, and one
great-grandchild. One son, L. G. Goff,
discharged, home from the South
Pacific; Gordon Goff, who is still
serving, is home from Missouri; and
J. R. Goff, of the Navy, is
awaiting his discharge.
Red & White Owners
Both War Veterans
Felton Banks and Jesse Smith, who
last week announced the purchase of
the Red & White store from Ed Sin-
gletary, are both World War II ser-
vice men. Banks was recently dis-
charged from the Navy and Smith
is still awaiting discharge from the
army.
They were associated in business
in Frankston before entering the ser-
vice.
SUPT. C. L. LANGSTON
KIWANIS SPEAKER
Kiwanian C. L. Langston was the
speaker at the club's regular luncheon
Wednesday noon. He discussed the
history of Kiwanis ideals which he
said dated back to the time of Noah.
The meeting was held Wednesday
instead of Tuesday on account of the
Christmas holiday. The same pro-
cedure will be followed next week
on account of New Year falling on
Tuesday.
Work Resumed On
Frozen Food Locker
Work was resumed Wednesday on
the Rusk frozen food locker plant
after considerable delay brought
about by a combination of circum-
stances. Lack of bricklayers, mater-
ials and bad weather caused the
work suspension and prolonged i(
for several weeks.
It is believed now if the weather
will permit, the job can proceed until
the plant is completed.
J. H. Holcomb Asks
Relief From Duties
J. H. Holcomb, Secretary Rusk In-
dependent District, has asked to be
relieved of his duties effective Jan
uary 1. He would have completed
twenty-two years in the position had
he remained in office until January
15.
{His reason for offering his resig-
nation is that he is not physically
able to handle the duties of the of-

NUMBER 48
Votes To Decide
Future Of Grade
School Thursday
Bond Approval To
Mean Modern New;
School Building
Tax-paying voters will go to the
polls next Thursday, January 3, to
determine whether or not children of
the Rusk Independent School Dis-
trict shall continue to go to school
in an out-moded building which has
attracted a great deal of criticism
because of its unsanitary condition.
The alternative is to vote a mini-
mum of $100,000 in bonds and ap-
prove a tax rate of $1.25 instead of
the present maximum of $1.00.
If voters here take the same atti-
tude as they are taking throughout
the country there will be few votes
cast against the two propositions.
Jacksonville recently voted a large
bond issue for road construction by
a margin of about eleven to one.
Dallas voted by about the same ratio
on an issue of millions for general
purposes. These are typical of com-
munities large and small throughout
the nation.
The only difference is that in most
places people are voting for improve-
ments that are necessarily post-war
projects. Here people will be voting
ior providing school facilities which
should have been provided long be-
fore the war.
Construction of a modern grammar
school will have advantages other
than those derived by the children.
As pointed out by one citizen, it has
been advisable to avoid Henderson
Street in showing visitors the town.
We could show our churches, our
high school, even our colored school,
he said, but most of us managed to
keep from showing the white gram-
mar school. If they insisted, most
of Us have been thankful the building
was well back over the hill from the
street.

Furnace Debate
Still In Progress
According to the best available in-
formation here the Rusk blast fur-
nace proposition is being tossed back
and forth between Washington and
New York. So far no agreement has
been reached on the lease terms.
It is understood that some progress
is being made towards an agreement
but nothing definite has been an-
nounced.
