Lime Pays
Dividends in
Most Soils
COLLEGE STATION — A dol-
lar spent for lime will generally
return a profit if 5 to 1 in in-
creased grazing, forage or crop
yields.
Liming is the first step in
building soil fertility, says John
Box, assistant extension agrono-
mist. It supplies essential plant
foods, such as calcium and mag-
nesium. Liming makes both ma-
nure and commercial fertilizers
more effective and, therefore,
improves plant yields. Most le-
gumes will not grow in soils
that are low or deficient in
calcium.
Liming granulates the soil, im-
proves tilth and drainage, and
speeds ithe decay of organic mat-
ter and formation of humus.
There is no substitute for lime-
stone on acid soils, Box em-
phasizes. Lime used at recom-
mended rates and according to
soil test recommendations will
increase your yields and pro-
fits per acre.
Today’s farmer has to be ef-
ficient to meet competition and
remain in* business. If he plans
to be in business tomorrow, he
must use every known efficient
production practice. He must not
fail to have his soils tested and
use the lime needed to main-
tain the right pH for the best
crop production.
Proper liming can also help
slow erosion by wind and wa-
ter. How? Liming the soil sup-
plies essential plant nutrients,
the agronomist points out. It
also makes nutrients already in
the soil more available to plants,
thus supporting better plant
growth. Residues from the in-
creased growth offer protection
ito the soil from wind and wa-
ter.
Heavier crop growth break
up raindrops before they hit
the soil, thus reducing the spat-
tering and splashing of soil par-
ticles. More organic matter,
from crop residues and roots,
is left in the soil. This helps
to bind soil particles together
so that less soil is carried away
by run-off water or blown away
by the wind. Box adds that now
is the time to lime.
to send one or two companies
of rangers over to assist the
Matamorans, merely by way of
cancelling the obligations we are
under to them for the troops
we sent to aid the citizens of
Brownsville, and which troops
fought Cortinas so valiantly with
the blank cartridges on the
memorable occasion of the first
battle of the war against the
citizens of the United States. I
think the rangers could teach
them many new things, among
them ito do better fighting with-
out, than with blank cartridges.

We are requested to state that
Mr. Wilson yesterday, gave per-
mission to a sailor to go up in
his balloon, but that he jumped
out as the balloon was com-
mencing to ascend, in conse-
quence of which ithe balloon went
up without anyone to take charge
of it and it ascended some 3-4
of a mile above Schmidt’s Gar-
den, and finally descended into
the Gulf, about five miles dis-
tant. Mr. Wilson requests us to
say that he will pay anyone
well for finding and returning
his balloon. Meantime a sub-
scription is being gotten up to
enable Mr. Wilson to procure
another balloon to be inflated
with gas.
We have barely time to say
that Mr. Wilson’s balloon* went
up from Schmidt’s Garden about
10 a.m. with Miss Myra Rosella
in the car. It passed northward
over the city, moving about a
mile from the ground, and final-
ly descended in the Bay, about
two miles from the eastern point
of the Island and five miles
from the place of ascension. It
was taken up by a pilot boat
and is now being safely brought
back. This we believe, is the
first balloon ascension ever
made by anyone in Texas

Odemites Return
From Houston
Funeral Friday
H. C. Roberts and daughter,
Mrs. Art Proudfit, and E. L.
Duensing returned to Odem Fri-
day afternoon* from Houston
where they had gone to attend
funeral services for Mrs. Ro-
berts held there the previous
day.
Mrs. and Mrs. Roberts had
come to Odem to make their
home with Mr. and Mrs. Duen-
sing, friends of many years-
standing in October of last year.
Mrs. Roberts passed away un-
expectedly Sunday morning of
last week.
Mrs. Proudfit makes her home
in Caracas, Venezuela. Her
husband is president of the Cre-
ole Oil Co. (Standard Oil Co.)
and the couple and her sister,
Mrs. George Lockett of Porta-
la-Cruz, Venezuela, made the
trip from Venezuela by Creole
Oil Co. plane when the com-
mercial plane which they had
passage on had to be grounded
temporarily because of mechan-
ical trouble. The group on the
Creole plane landed first at Mia-
mi and then went to Houston.
Proudfit left Houston Friday
morning for New York for a
business conference, Mrs. Loc-
kett returned to Venezuela on
the company plane; and Mrs.
Proudfit came to Houston with
her father and Duensing. She
will be a guest in the Duensing
home for several days after
which she will join her husband
in New York for the flight back
to Venezuela.
New Vet Legislation
Explained By Officals
How will it affect me? Many
thousands of veterans and their
dependents are asking this about
the new pension law recently
enacted by Congress. This news-
paper asked the Veterans Ad-
ministration for answers to bas-
ic questions about this complex
legislation. Here are the ans-
wers in the second of five in-
stallments.
Q. What are the changes in
methods to be used in comput-
ing income under the new sy-
stem?
A. Income received by a vet-
eran or by his widow from
any source, with few exceptions,
will be considered as income
under the new system. In cases
where the veteran’s spouse has
a separate income the new law
provides that all such income
over $1200 per year shall be
counted as the veteran’s in-
come under the new system?
A. Income received by a ve-
teran or by his widow from any
source, with few exceptions, will
be considered as income under
the new system. In cases where
the veteran’s spouse has a sep-
arate income the new law pro-
vides that all such income over
$1200 per year shall be counted
as the veteran’s income, unless
to do so would create a hard-
ship.
Q. What would constitute
“hardship” in this instance?
A. If the evidence shows that
the entire income is needed for
large and unusual family ex-
penses — such as those incur-
red by serious illness or un-
usual family expenses —such as
those incurred by serious illness
or unusual expenses incurred for
the education of children—count-
ing all but $1200 of the
spouse’s income as the income
of the veteran might be regard-
ed as a hardship. Each case of
this nature is considered on its
own merits.
Q. What income is specifical-
ly exempt by law?
A. Eight categories of income
are exempt from consideration
in calculating the annual income
to determine pension eligibility.
They are:
1. Payments of the six months
death gratuity by the Service
Departments.
2. Donations from public or
private relief or welfare organi-
zations.
3. Payments of compensation
or pension by the VA.
4. Government life insurance
Mrs. J. Ray Haese of Corpus
Christi was a guest in the home
of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. B. Rentz Tuesday of last
week*
payment and payments of
servicemen’s indemnity.
5. Social Security lump sum
death payments.
6. Payments to an individual
under public or private retire-
ment, annuity, endowment or
similar plans equal to the
amount he contributed thereto.
7. Proceeds of fire insurance
policies.
8. In the case of widows or
children of a deceased veteran
there are excluded amounts
equal to the amounts paid for
settlement of the veteran’s just
debts, the expenses of his last
illness, and the expenses of the
veteran’s burial less the amount
reimbursed by the VA.
Q. How does a veteran’s es-
tate become an eligibility fac-
tor under the new law?
A. It is one of the need factors
used in determining eligibility
under the new system. It means
that pensions will not be paid to
veterans who have sizable es-
tates. (The estate of his wife
and children will not be con-
sidered.) Those having quite a
bit of property will not be elig-
ible until they have used up
some of their estate for living
expenses.
Q. Does this mean that if a
veteran owns a farm or an
apartment house he will have
to sell his property before he
can be eligible to receive a
pension?
A. Not necessarily. It would
depend upon the size and value
of that property and many other
factors. The VA has made no
attempt to provide an absolute
yardstick for measuring the cor-
pus of an estate. Nor has the
VA set a dollars and cents ceil-
ing where the value of an estate
will operate as a bar to pen-
sion entitlement.
In each case consideration
must be given to the type of
property, the age of the claim-
ant, his life expectancy, his state
of health, the number of per-
sons dependent on him for sup-
port, and his income from other
sources. A veteran’s dwelling is
excluded from consideration as
part of his estate. Each case
will be judged individually on
its own merit.
Q. Does the rule regarding
“corpus of estate” also apply
to widows and children?
A. Yes, the same as it does
to veterans. (Where there is a
widow1 and children the corpus
of the widow’s estate only will
be considered. Where there is
a child or children only, the
corpus of the estate of the child
or children will be considered.)

Trinidad Pantoja, 40, an em-
ployee on the R. E. Stalcup
farm at Edroy died Friday af-
ternoon from injuries received
when* he fell from a two-wheel
trailer loaded with heavy mes-
quite posts and the load passed
over his body as the tractor-
towed truck was descending the
hill near Edroy on the San Pa-
tricio farm to market road.
The driver of the tractor did
not notice the man missing from
the trailer until he was some
300 yards away from where Pon-
taja had fallen from the truck,
said coroner Bob Whitten- of
Odem who was called to hold
the inquest.
Pontaja was brought to Odem
in a pick-up driven by his fa-
ther Miguel Pantoja and was
pronounced , -dead' upon arrival
at the doctor’s office. However,
Whitten said that the driver of
the tractor, Luis Gonzales, said
that Pantoja was able to talk
and had said that he did not
think he was too -badly injured
at the .time Gonzales reached
his side.
The accident occured at 2:20,
according to the coroner’s re-
port of accidental death from
internal injuries and a broken
neck, was made. Apparently the
truck passed over the neck and
upper portion of the torso.
Funeral services for Pontaja
were held at Our Lady of Guada-
lupe Church in Edroy at 3:30
p.m. Monday with burial made
in the Edroy Cemetery. The par-
ish priest the Rev. Hubert
Adam officiated.
The body of Pontaja was tak-
en- to Mathis for burial.
Survivors include Pontaja’s fa-
ther, Miguel Pontaja; one bro-
ther, Julian Pontaja; four sis-
ters, Eugenia, Catarina, and'
Porfira Pantoja, and Mrs. Ysi-
dra Guajardo, all of Edroy, and
a half-sister, Mrs. Josephine Ro-
driguez of San Antonio.
Deputies Jay Whitehead of the
central office and Bill McMul-
len -of Odem investigated the
accident.

Kline stated that he was di-

all the voters and -not just to-
ward any particular faction.
“If I am elected,” he stated,
“I will be sheriff for all the
