ALLIED WARSHIPS CONTINUE to operate in the Mediterranean. They have brought another convoy to
Malta. There were grave losses of British warships, but the enemy also suffered losses and the needed
supplies reached the sturdy islanders. Other ships of the British Mediterranean Fleet have bombarded th*
island fortress of Rhodes. These pictures show ships of the previous Malta convoy, a few weeks ago. Above,
escorted by a cruiser, two of them see Axis air bombs burst close. Below, an escorting battleship of th*

Plains Guayule
Plants Doing Well
In Lubbock Plot
LUBBOCK—Guayule plants set
out on the Texas Technological
College farm March 23, 1942, to
test their rubber-producing quali-
ties on the high plains of Texas,
now appear vigorous and healthy.
Average height of the plants is 16
inches and the breadth is about
the same.
“From all indications the plants
have made a very satisfactory
growth,” says. Dr. A. W. Young, '
head of the plant industry depart-
ment. Seed production has been
abundant. Already the seeds have
been harvested twice and taken to
government nurseries in San An-
tonio for the propagation of ad-
ditional plants.
Guayule plants may be expected
to produce 300 pounds of rubber
per acre the first year, with a
gain of 300 pounds per year for the
next three years, but after that the
increase is not so rapid.

Lions Are Advised
On How To Act
During Blackout
Lions were told Thursday of
plans for the blackout Thursday
night, and advised by Chief Air
Raid Warden Walter Fiensy that
the principal things to do in a
blackout are to stay at home and
remain calm.
England has found that 80 per-
cent of air raid casualties are
avoided if citizens will remain in
their own homes, Fiensy said.
Lion E. E. Spangler, Kermit War
Bond and Stamp sales chairman,
proposed that the club have a bond
auction. Merchants or others
could provide items to be auc-
tioned off, such as baskets of gro-
ceries, cartons of cigarettes, or
whatnot, and the successful bidder
at, say, $75, would receive the gro-
ceries or cigarettes in addition to
$75 worth of War Bonds.
A committee composed of Lions
J. A. Slaughter, M. M. Burns and
Spangler was named to investigate
the proposal. x

A call to poultrymen as well as
individuals has been made by Sec-
retary of 'Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard to' help beat the meat
shortage by raising 200 million
extra chickens this fall, and win-
ter. “This increase must go into
pffect .immediately. to be of real
value in the present war time
emergency,” said Mr. Wickard.
County Agent Lee R. Pool, in
commenting on this, said, “Many
mdividuals in this area could con-
sider raising more chickens.
Since there has been one of the
largest feed crops produced this
year, feed prices should soon be
cheaper.- Also in this area there
is plenty of electricity and gas for
brooding purposes. With so many
Army camps so close, this should
be an incentive to produce lots of
winter and fall chicks; at least
enough for local consumption.”
Pool also cautions individuals
with poultry to observe the strict-
est measures in sanitation and dis-
ease conrol practices.

pox. This is a bad disease but
healthy flocks are not so suscepti-

internal parasites.
