“My arm felt pretty heavy

That afternoon, along with
hundreds of other casualties,
Fink underwent at: operation

brass was removed. It had en-

without breaking the skin along

My Mother’s Flower Bed
My mother has a flower bed,
Where many a seed she has
sown.
And upon each clean and fertile
bed,
Many a flower she has grown.
Each sunny day in early spring,
She saves some precious hours
In which she hoes her flower
bed
And cares for all her flowers.

Texas Lutheran College Choir
one of the outstanding choirs
in Texas will appear in Colum-
but, Sunday, March 29, at 3:00
o’clock. If you want to give
yourself a good treat, come anc
hear this choir. It will be in La
Grange on the same day at 8:00
p. m. at the High School. This
will be nearer for those living
around Willow Springs, to hear
the choir.
Germination tests of old gar-
den, seeds may be made by
planting several kinds in boxes
of moist dint kept in a sunny
place. Each lot should be num-
bered on box and package and
a record made of the number
of seed planted in each, which
usually is 100. This is neces-
sary to get the percentage of
germination.
During the ten-year period,
1930-39, Texas plairted an aver-
I age of 186,000 acres to peanuts
with a total production' of more
than 84,000,000 pounds of pick-
ed and threshed nuts.
In 1941, the acreage was in-
I creased to 343,000 acres, wibh a
production of 171 and one-half
million pounds. This would
yield more than 50 million lbs.
of oil.
Now, in 1942, with many of
our sources cf vegetable oil im-
ports cut off by the war, the
USDA War Board is calling on
Texas farmers to plant 1,056,-
000 acres to pealnuts.
This is an increase of 713,-
1000 acres over 1941, or 208
per cent. In some counties the
percentage of increase is much
more, as in Wood county, which
planted 831 acres to peanuts in
1941 and which has a 1942 goal
of 7,808 acres. Other sample
counties showing big percent-
age increases: Callahan, 6,433
acres were planted to peanuts
in 1941, goal for 1942 set at
19,350 acres; Grayson, 4,684
acres in 1941, goal of 16,804
If.r 1942; Lee, 3,346 in 1941,
13,070 in 1942; and La Salle,
2,606 in 1941, 8,487 in 1942.
Counties such as these aren’t
the big peanut producers, but
they’re doing what they can.
In counties such as Callahan,
Atascosa, Eastland, and Frio,
the percentage increases are
not so large, but the acreage
increases run into the thous-
ands and tens of thousands of
acres.
A bottom price of 82 dollars
per ton or $123 per bushel of
30 pounds for number one
White Spanish type peanuts,
delivered to an approved local
receiving agency, has been an-
nounced by the Secretary of
Agriculture.
Here are some peanut pro-
duction.' bints from E. A. Miller,
Agronomist of the Texas A.
and M. Extension Service, on
how to get the job done.
Plant only the Spanish type
peanut, since it is best suited
to Texas, is richest in oil con-
tent, and highest in shelling
percentages. County Agricul-
tural Agents and Coutty AAA
offices have full information
with reference to obtaining
seed on a loan basis.
Inoculate seed with a bacter-
ial culture to enable the plant
to take nitrogen from the air.
Yields have been greatly in-
creased in many cases through
inoculation. This is always ad-
visable, and is necessary unless
the land has been planted re-
cently to cow peas, velvet beans
and peanuts.
Plant about 45 pounds of un-
I shelled or 25 or 30 pounds of
shelled peanuts per acre. Soak-
ing unshelled peanuts overnight
before planting will hasten ger-
miration. Do not soak shelled
peanuts. Plant on the level or
below the level rather than on
beds.
Fertilizer is recommended,
especially on sandy soils in East
Texas and the Cross Timber
section. It should consist of
100 to 200 pounds of 20 per
I cent superphosphate or its equi-
valent on the loamy ^oils or
about 200 pounds of 4-12-4 on
the light sandy soils.
Shallow cultivation is (neces-
sary to destroy weeds and grass
and to keep the soil loose. The
soil should be gradually work-
ed to the plants and should be
loose when the pegs begin to
form. The vines must not be
disturbed after they have be-
gun to peg down and the blos-
soms must not be covered, as
this would prevent proper pol-
lination.
Peanuts are hard on the soil
if both nuts and hay are 'har-
vested. Therefore they should
always Ibe grow in rotation
with other crops and should be
followed by winter cover crops
to be plowed under in the
spring. In areas subject to wind
erosion it is best to strip crop,
alternating eight rows of pea-
nuts with 4 rows of grain or
sweet sorghums, sudan grass
or cow peas.

Birds
Birds are flying here and there;
Everyday they eat their share.
They can fly east and west,
But they never have to rest.
They can fly every day,
But they never want to stay.
Merry songs they all can sJr.g,
They are always on the wing.

A Tree of Promotion
(Editorial)
If you have difficulty dis-
tinguishing U. S. Army offi-
cers’ insignia of rank, this alle-
gory, traditional in the service,
wi’l help.
The young officer, climbing
the tree of promotion, sets foot
cn a ladder. Its first rung, a
precious step up from the
ranks, is golden—the second
lieutenant’s gold bar. Next
higher is the first lieuten-
ant’s silver bar. One more rung
to a captain’s two silver bars.
At the top of the ladder and
up among the branches, he
wears a major’s golden leaves.
These turn to silver as he
mounts to a lieutenant colonelcy.
Birds begin to circle around
him and two perch on 'his
shoulders—the colonel’s silver
eagles.
By now he’s well up in the
sky. A silver star on each
shoulder strap and he’s a briga-
dier general. Two stars on each
shoulder mark a major general,
three a lieutenant general, and
finally the magnificent four
star constellation distinguishes
the rare full general.
School News
Our Scout and Cub troops
went on a hike last Friday eve-
ning. They did not go far but
carried everything needed on
the hike. The first thing they
did was fish with little success
but soon began to roast weiners
with more success and all ate
until there was little to carry
home. All had a very enjoyable
time and are looking forward
to the next outing. Mr. Brune
and Mr. Ahihorn, accompanied
the boys on their hike.
The primary room reports
more stamps sold last week.
The amount may be small but
it helps some and above all the
abject Of saving is brought out
at an early age.
Bobby Zanek is again on the
sick list.
Rockhouse beat us in a very
interesting volley ball game
last Friday. The better team
always wins.
Zone Meet
Many people have asked a-
tbout the zone meet which has
been held Annually during the
month of March. Due to the
unsettled conditions and the
sugar rationing program to be
carried out, no definite plans
could be made. Now that defin-
ite days have been designated
for each, the zone meet has been
set for Friday, April 10. These
will be held over bhe entire
county.
A committee consisting of A.
A. Brune, Chairman, J. A. Ahl-
horn, Mrs. Melvin Spiess and
Miss Alice Krueger have been
appointed to work out definite
plans for the meet. A very
educational and entertaining
program will be in store for
you.

D. Fink, son of Mrs. Mary Fink,
of Sealy> the Honolulu Advertis-
er carried the s.ory of the in-
jury to Fink at Pearl Harbor
on December 7th and the forti-
tude he displayed wher. hit by
a chunk of shell. Fink was rear-
ed here and several years ago
was for four years in the serv-
ice. Receiving an honorable dis-
charge, he later got a jab in
the ship yards and was at
Pearl Harbor when that place
was bombed by the Japs on
December 7th. His home was
just out of Pearl Harbor.
Friends here of Mr. Fink and
his mother will be interested in
the storytaken from the Hono-
lulu paper and published below:
HE TOOK IT STANDING
AND HE WALKED AWAY
Slug Entered Shoulder,
Drove Thru to Elbow
You couH have knocked
lot of people over with a feath-
er on Sunday morning, Dec. 7,
but it took more than the lime
fuse off a five inch antiaircraft
shell to put Owen D. Fink away.
Such a missile, whizzing back
to earth after reaching thous-
ands of feet into the sky, can
be highly destructive. L’s solid
brass, it weighs a pound and
10 ounces and it’s about as big
as a fair sized fist. This one
struck Fink, veteran navy yard
employe, on the right shoulder,
plowed down the inside if the
arm to the elbow and stopped.
Took It ‘ ’
Fink
well, in
hospital
ed to his quarters. But let him
tell the story:
“You see, it was this way.
The wife ard I had gone out in
the yard to see what was going
on. No, I wasn’t up early that
day. The firing woke me up.
“We had been watching the
action over by Ford Islat d, and
then we saw this Jap plane. He
came in low over the 'Mouse and
I could
baseball
then. I didn’t see any smoke
or fire, but he dropped one of
his cushions in my yard, and
it was burring.
“He almost crashed there,
and I thought he was going to,
but he righted his plane and it
passed on toward bWe naval
hospital. As I say, I could have
reached .up ar.d hit him with a
baseball bat, he was that low.
The Jap couldn’t clear the hos-
pital, and one wing tip caught
on a building. He’s the one that
was over there in the hospital
yard.
Hit By Shell Fuse
“Well, the wife and I were
standing there watching when
this thing hit me. I didn’t
knew what it was then, but I
knew I was hit. So I said to
the wife:
“Sweetheart, they got me.
Then I told her to help me
get to the hospital. We start-
ed walking—it’s about 150
yards from my quarters—and
pretty sodn a couple of other
gentlemen came up and helped
