Preliminary reports from sixty-six
seed dealers in Texas to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture show that farm-
ers will plant more sweet clover, mil-
let, sorghum and seed corn this
spring and summer than last year.
Decreased plantings are indicated
for soybeans, lespedeza, alfalfa and
Sudan grass. Approximately the
same amount of cowpeas and red top
cane will be planted.
The drouth last year and the agri-
cultural conservation program are
causes of decreases nationally in les-
pedeza, red clover, sweet clover, al-
falfa and seed corn. Higher prices
for these commodities are also given
as a cause for decrease.

HOWE.—Local taxpayers for the
second time in two days Saturday
approved bond issues for local civic
improvements. An election on the
proposal to issue $12,500 in bonds for

nasium.
Money derived from the second
bond issue, supplemented by WPA
funds, would be used to blacktop
streets and improve the water sys-
tem. The bonds would mature seri-
ally over a period of 40 years and
bear a maximum of six per cent in-
terest.

NEW YORK.—More women wear
“cukoo” hats in America than in any
other country, Miss Lillian Fischer,
Hollywood fashion expert, said to-
day.
“In the old days they used to have

American woman would wear,” she
said.
“Now the opposite is true. Paris
is more conservative.”
She quoted an American milliner
as saying, “I have made some ter-
rible hats, but some women like
terrible hats. If Paris says hats will
be high, they want them still higher.”

While many highway patrolmen of
the Texas Department of Public
Safety believe that the “ceiling” for
safe driving is 60 miles an hour they
do not advocate such a speed on the
highways of Texas.
“Texas has a law prohibiting an
automobile exceeding a speed limit
of 45 miles an hour,” Captain G. P.
Nulty, head of the local division, re-
minds. “A person driving a car at a
speed in excess of 60 miles an hour, a
mile a minute, loses control of the
car the minute it passes the 60
mark.”
Safe speed of an automobile de-
pends a great deal on the mechanical
condition of the vehicle, the patrol-
men explain. They say that a mod-
ern car in good mechanical condition
is much safer at a higher speed than
an old model, particularly Ford T
models, at a slow speed.
“Old automobiles are a menace
to the highways,” patrolmen de-
