Peanut Farmers
To Vote Here
Sat. April 26
Jim Hogg County commercial pea-
nut farmers will vote at the Jim
Hogg County Court House on Satur-
day, April 26, in a referendum to
determine whether they will market
theiT 1941 crop under marketing
quotas, according to Douglas S.
Kuehn, Secretary of the County
Agricultural Conservation Associa-
tion.
Rejection of quotas in the re
ferendum would mean that no price-
stabilizing diversion-to-oil program
would be in effect, while approval
would mean that either the diversion
program or a loan program, or both
would operate to protect the growers
The loan rate would be between 50
-and 75 per cent of parity.
Under the quota, a farmer who
plants within his peanut acreage
allotment may market all he produces
without penalty. Peanuts marketed
in excess of the farm marketing
quota are subject to a penalty of
three cents per pound. However,
payment of penalty is not required if
the excess peanuts are delivered to
an agency designated foa handling
excess peanuts. In this case, the
farmer receives for his excess pea-
nuts the .price for oil which usually
is considerably lower than the mar-
ket price for edible peanuts.
Only those peanuts which are
picked and threshed by mechanical
means will be subject to marketing
quotas. This means that peanuts
hogged off or harvested for hay do
not come under quotas. Also, quotas
do not apply to farms on which the
measured peanut acreage is one acre
or less.
All farmers, especially farmers
who threshed peanuts by mechanical
means during the year 1940, which
will give them eligibility to vote are
urged to attend a meeting at the
County Court House April 25th at
8:00 O'clock P. M. The purpose of
the meeting is to familiarize farmers
with the Panut Marketing Quota
■before the referendum is held.

Romance, action, drama and thrill-
ing adventure are all part of the
spectacle in “Western Union,” which
opens in the roaring boom town of
frontier Omaha—where the only law
was a blazing six-shooter.
Dean Jagger, portraying Edward
Creighton the telegraph builder,
starts a huge wagon-train rolling out
across the prairies. Their job is to
build the telegraph over a West in-
fested by renegades and savage
Indians.
Randolph Scott as a reformed out-
law and Robert Young, as a tender-
foot surveyor from Harvard, leave
with Creighton’s men. Both are in
love with the builder’s charming
sister, Virginia Gilmore.
First sample of the dangers ahead
comes soon after the wagon-train
leaves Omaha. Vicious renegades
attack without warning. Devasting
forays by the savage Sioux follow.
But the plainsmen keep moving
forward across the prairies, sinking
telegraph poles and stringing wires
as death strikes swiftly and silently
all about them. Thrill is heaped on
The annual election of officers of
the Library was held Wednesday
April 23rd at the Library at which
time reports of the various officers
and committee chairmen were also

Quilliam, who, as one of the founders
