AUSTIN. — The road system
Texas
COLLEGE STATION. — Dairymen
should provide small grain pasture
for their cows during the fall, winter
and early spring whenever possible.
But, says E. R. Eudaly, Extension
Service Dairymen for Texas A. and
M. College, too much of this kind of
pasturage tends to lower the cows’
production and, therefore, they
should have an accompanying feed of
hay.
A Jersey cow producing two gal-
lons of milk daily has^to have at least
20 pounds of dry matter. Small grain
pasture in late autumn usually
analyze about 85 per cent water, and
in order for the average Jersey to get
the necessary 20 pounds she would
have to eat 133 pounds of this pas-
turage, which would be more that she
could hold. Moreover, small grain
pasture alone causes cows to scour, a
condition that prevents the animal
from getting full benefit from what
she eats.
Eudaly suggests keeping hay in a
rack where cows can have free access
to both hay and pasture. Assuring
that they will eat the correct
amounts, he says this ordinarily will
vary from five to ten pounds of hay
and 50 to 80 pounds of small grain
pasture daily, depending upon how
“watery” the pasture growth is.
Small grain pasture being high in
protein and , low in carbohydrates,
Eudaly recommends sorghum cane
hay, johson grass, Sudan, Bermuda
and prairie grass hay as suitable
sources of carbohydrates to provide
the balance of the two substances.
Good dairy cows also will need some
grain mixture low in protein in addi-
tion to hay and pasture. A combina-
tion of 500 pounds of ground ear corn
TOKIO.—Japanese will have to get
along on one towel a year, starting in
January, under a rationing system
decreed by the ministry of commerce,
Tokio newspapers reported Saturday.
A ration card system already is in
effect for bleached cotton and in-
fants’ underwear. Stricter rationing
of gauze, absorbent cotton and con-
densed milk also is imminent, the
press said.
of
is comprised of 185,860.67
miles, it was shown Saturday in the
first comprehensive survey ever
made of the entire system.
The survey was a part of the re-
port of the state-wide highway plan-
ning survey, a branch of the Texas
Highway Department, in co-opera-
tion with the Federal Government.
The state system — maintained by
the state government — was com-
prised of 20,818.48 miles while all
other roads, including all rural roads,
totaled 165,042.19 miles.
and 100 pounds of cottonseed meal
would analyze 14 per cent crude pro-
tein.
As a second choice, the dairyman
might replace 100 pounds of the
ground ear corn with 100 pounds of
ground oats or barley, feeding three
pounds of the grain mixture daily
for each gallon of milk a cow pro-
duces.
Adoption of this feeding schedule,
Eudaly says, will get the maximum
amount of milk at the least possible
cost.

AUSTIN.—The spirit of Christmas
giving, reflected in the sale of Christ-
mas Seals for anti-tuberculosis work,
mounts steadily higher, indicating
new records of generous Texas sup-
port of the program, reports reaching
the Texas Tuberculosis Association
offices here reveal.
The small seal depicting three
small children singing Christmas
carols with all their might are adding
color to a niagara of Christmas mail
and, according to postal employes
writing in, are being used for Christ-
mas package decoration more gener-
ously than ever.
“Christmas Seals not only add to
the spirit of Christmas, they add to
life itself for thousands of persons
afflicted with the dread germ and to
the happiness of millions of others
who are protected from tuberculosis
by the constant fight being made
against this purveyor of illness and
death,,”’ Dr. E. G. Faber \of Tyler,
president of the association, said.
Reports from county and city or-
ganizations throughout the state show
a 16 per cent increase of Christmas
Seals over the first 10 days of the
sale in 1939 and if the trend is sus-
tained, 1940 will be the banner year
of the 34 years of seal sales in Texas
headquarters here reports.
Approximately 10,000 more bales
of cotton had been ginned in Grayson
County this season up until Dec. 1
than during the corresponding pe-
riod of last year, according to
Peterson of Carpenter’s Bluff,
eral cotton census agent.
The report showed 49,292 bales
ginned this year against 38,611 dur-
ing 1939.
BALTIMORE. — Warren Irvin,
NBC reporter, just returned from a
year of the European war, estimates
that bomb damage had caused a
20% reduction in British industrial
output, compared with a 30% drop in
Germany.
Stories from England, sent out un-
der comparatively mild censorship,
had given Americans a greatly exag-
gerated idea of damage done to
Britain, Irvin said.
“In Germany, the correspondents
are confined to what the Germans
say about what they have done to
England, and nothing of what hap-
pens in Germany,” said Irvin.
The RAF was hitting military ob-
jectives, he said, because German
cities were unprotected by balloon
barrages and British pilots could aim
from low altitudes. Nazi bombers, on
the other hand, must resort to hap-
hazard bombing from altitudes of
from 15,000 to 20,000 feet, Irvin ex-
plained.
“I know that the dock areas of
Hamburg are ruined,” he said, “that
there has been heavy damage to the
industrial plants in the Ruhr and
that Cologne is in ruins.
“The Germans work night and day
to conceal the damage, and then take
correspondents on a tour to show
them that very little damage has
been caused.”
He said that, on the night of the
Munich beer hall explosion, after
Adolf Hitler had spoken and left, the
Gestapo rounded up all the glazers in
town and made them repair blown-
out windows before civilians saw the
damage.
Irvin rated British morale at 85%,
German at 45.
Waiting For It
The cavalry recruit was instructed
to bridle and saddle a horse. Ten
minutes later the sergeant major
came along for his mount and found
the recruit holding the bit close to
the horse’s head.

“Until he yawns,” answered the re-
cruit.

The Whitewright Lumber Company is a good place
for you to Select Christmas Gifts. The variety is ex-
tensive, and everything we offer is thoroughly prac-

most appreciated. We suggest one of these items:
One of the most vivid pieces
Texas newspaper writing seen
■quite some time was Bill Potts’
cent article in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram telling of a ride in one of
■the army’s newest scout cars, weigh-
ing 9,000 pounds, armed with four
machine guns, covered with half-
inch steel plate yet capable of 60
miles an hour over concrete roads.
The marvelous machine raced with a
cavalry horse over cactus-studded
•sand dunes near El Paso.
“This is just like a battlefield torn
up,” said General Swift as he swung
in his saddle to point with sweeping
■arm to the vast area of waste. “Let’s
«ay the enemy is on that high point
■and we’re supposed to circle and at-
tack from the rear. You start!”
Wham—we plowed into a small
mountain, climbed to the top of it
•and pitched over, all wheels spinning
in the air at once. Then it was up
-and down and around for what
■seemed like hours. My seat, flat on
the floor of the steel steed, was little
Thus it was proved once more that
the horse is still a vital part of na-
tional defense. Though declaring
they are handicapped by the fact that
racing no longer is permitted in the
state, Texas thoroughbred breeders
are co-operating with the army to
provide stallions for the production
of cavalry horses.

more than, a bouncing place which
the seat of my pants missed as often
as it hit, while I clung grimly to
dashboard and steel rail around the
top of the car.
We had gone less than 50 yards
when the general sailed nonchalant-
ly by at a full gallop, the terrain
bothering his horse no more than
would a race track. In two minutes
he was out of sight.
When we stopped, I untangled my-
self and climbed unsteadily to the
ground. A button had popped off my
vest; my tie was askew; my shoe
laces were undone; my hat rested in
the rear. I’d lost my stomach.
With Texas newspapermen: An
early Christmas present, $4,000 for
an oil lease on 40 acres, has been re-
ceived by George Baker, publisher of
the Fort Stockton Pioneer, according
to the Stanton Reporter. . . . C. C.
Hadsell, in the Donna News-Advo-
cate, after quoting this columnist’s
description of a complicated tooth-
pick machine, says two Donna men—
Leo Wharton and Ralph Minshall—
have applied for a patent on a simple
machine, which at the turn of a knob
rolls a toothpick into a little trough,
and already an ordei' for 100 ma-
chines has been received. . . . Doc
Sellers passes on this fine philosophy
in the Rising Stai' Record:
To cultivate calmness and self pos-
session, to live longer and to enjoy
life more fully—
Learn to like what
much.
Learn to like reading,
tion, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain ser-
vice, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, woods,
brooks, fishing, rowing, hiking.
Learn to like people, even though
some of them may be as different
from you as'a Chinese.
Learn to like to work and enjoy
the satisfaction of doing a job as well
as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of the birds,
the companionship of dogs, and
laughter and gaiety of children.
Learn to like gardening, carpenter-
ing, puttering around the house, the
lawn, and the automobile.
Learn to like the sunrise and
set, the beating of rain on roof
windows, and the gentle fall of
on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple.
Refuse to be owned and anchored by
things and the opinions of others.
DALLAS.—Hungry to see a test of
Southwest football against some of
the East’s best, fans chalked “sold
out” all over the ticket slate for the
New Year’s day Cotton Bowl classic
here.
Applications started when Ford-
ham University’s Rams accepted the
visiting team’s role; boomed when
the Texas Aggies, co-champions of
the Southwest conference, agreed to
play and finished the supply of 45,-
507 seats available by Sunday night
—eight days after the line-up was
announced.
Dan D. Rogers, president of the
Cotton Bowl athletic association, said
“We’re completely sold out for the
Aggie-Fordham game and have a
number of reservations for the 1942
contest.” He said the
would have to return hundreds
checks which arrived too late.”
