Announcement is made that due
to the Leonard Picnic there will
not be any contests by the Leon-
ard Saddle Club members at the
local arena Saturday night.
The next scheduled events will
be July 25th. The public is in-
vited.
A representative of Bluebonnet
Homes, builders of nursing homes,
has notified Chamber of Com-
merce officials the proposed
plans for building a nursing home
in Leonard have been postpon-
ed because a local man is build-
ing a similiar establishment.
The company representative
assured L. R. Fullerton while in
Leonard last Friday the company
will build a home if and when
the need) for two nursing homes
in Leonard is evident.
It is not the policy of the Blue-
bonnet Co. to build in a town
where an individual has already
begun construction of a home.
After conferring with local busi-
ness men, Mr. Fullerton said all
agreed it was best to postpone
the plans for the present. It was
agreed that the business people
and citizens should encourage
Billy Gilbert and give full co-
operation in his efforts to build
a nursing home in Leonard.
Now under construction, the
home will be located on High-
way 69 near the Leonard football
field.
Six banks in the county are
sending invitations to farmers to
“Fannin County Day” activities
at Renner. All land operators are
invited to tour the privately-fi-
nanced agricultural institution.
“We feel farmers will get many
worthwhile ideas by observing
firsthand the Renner Farming
System and the Renner Pasture
System now — when crops and
pastures are telling their own sto-
ry,” said Dr. C. L. Lundell, Direc-
tor of the Foundation. “The vary-
ing levels of soil fertility and the
effect of proper rotation on crop
production are easily recognized
at this time of the year,” Dr.
Lundell added.
The Foundation has harvested
an average of 4,451 pounds of
grain sorghum, 38.3 bushels of
wheat and 479 pounds of cotton,
to the acre for the last four years ■
from its recommended system of
farming.
“Every framer in Fannin is in-
vited to attend the field day and
tour,” Dr. Lundell said.
Starting at 10 a.m. a five-stop
tour of Renner’s 800-acre experi-
mental and demonstration fields
will be made on tractor-drawn
trailers. Particular emphasis will
be given to the 309-acre demon-
stration farm wheih reported a
gross income of $18,850 last year
—the highest in its 10 year his-
tory.
A Dutch treat -lunch will be
provided at noon followed by an
informal question and answer ses-
sion with Renner sceintists. The
event will conclude by 2 p.m.
Since a meal will be provided,
each person who plans to attend
is asked to so indicate to any one
of the co-sponsoring Fannin
County bankers:
Roy Owens, Bonham State
State Bank; John ArledgO, First
National Bank, both of Bonham;
Lee Roy Ammons, First National
Bank, Honey Grove; R. M. Mc-
Cleary, Fannin National Bank,
Windom; Henry Donaghey, First
National Bank, Trenton; and Rob
Roy Gattis, First National Bank,
Leonard.
“The tom- will be informal and
tailored to the specific interests
of farmers in Fannin County,”
Dr. Lundell added. Ladies are in-
vited also.
This is one of 12 such field
days at Renner for special groups
during the summer months.
