WEEPING OAK DRIVE-IN
HAS BIG OPENING NIGHT
Hundreds of people attended the
opening of the Weeping Oak Drive-
In Theatre last Thursday night. Mr.
Leonard .Scales had made every ef-
fort to make the beginning of this
new theatre all that could be ex-
pected.
While ample room had, been pro-
vided as parking spaces with handy
loud speaker equipment, yet the ov-
erflow attendance made it impos-
sible for all to get a place to see
the show. Many cars simply park-
ed down the highway and waited,
while others seeing the great crowd,
gave up and went home.
Children took advantage of the
opportunity and made use of the
playground equipment which had
been provided for the youngsters.
The concessions did a big business
as everybody seemed to want to try
out everything that was offered.
The fire works which had been
advertised as an attraction was a
display of rockets which was seen
for miles around and was a most
interesting sight.
The pictures showed plainly and
7— I the loudspeaker system was in per-
sions work, of soil conserve-\ feet order. All in all it was a most
successful opening and shows that
good entertainment can be had and
be appreciated.

in the local clinic with
cingly proved ability of adapted
Texas corn hybrids to outyield the
best varieties of open pollinated
corn.
Corn yields can be increased from
20 to 30 per cent, and in some cases
as much a*> 50 per cent, by planting
adapted corn hybrids. This lias
been shown by tests conducted on
Texas Agricultural Experiment sta-
tions and by many farm demonstra-
tions.
On 3,847 de.ui.nnrations conduc-
ted by Hi club boys and adults
in 1950, ave •afre corn yields were
increased nearly II bushels per
acre, says E. A. Miller, agronomist
Texas A&M Extension
He says that most of this
increase was due to the use of corn
hybrids.
Miller says the acreage planted
to corn hybrids in Texas is too
small, being only 57 per cent of the
total corn acreage.

More Than 17,800
Trucks Stopped in
1950; Overloaded
AUSTIN, Frt>. 28.—More than
17,800 truck arrests were made on
Texas Highways for overloading
and other' violations for the year
ending August 31, 1950, according
to a recent report released by Kent
Odom, Chief of the License and
Weights Division of the Depart-
ment of Public Safety.
Eight thousand four hundred and
forty-seven cases were filed in Jus-
tice Courts throughout the State,
charging the operation of vehicles
uith loads in excess of the 48,000
pound gross load limit and over
is,000 pounds of weight on each
truck axle; 3,801 cases charging
operation in excess of registered
gross weight of the truck and 5.-
582 cases were filed for miscel-
laneous offenses, such as over-
legth, overwidth, driving while in-
toxicated and operating ■without
permits.
According to the report, nine
trucking companies were arrested
more than 100 times last year. One
Dallas firm with 265 arrests, was
fined over $5,000 for hauling more
than a million pounds excessive
weight.
The License andi Weights Divis-
ion of the Department of Public
Safety is composed of only 33 in-
spectors, who must work in pairs
patrolling the 36,840 miles of the
Texas Highway System. During the
period covered by Chief Odom’s re-
port, these guardians of the State
roads checked more than 72,000
trucks and found one out of every
four were violating the law.
The January monthly report just
released by the Public Safety De-
partment indicates an increase in
highway truck law violations. It
shows a total of 2,051. arrests.
Many states have found the only
effective way to prevent these con-
stant violations of overloading
trucks to reduce the excessive
weight to the legal limits before
proceeding over the roads.
Texas has no such unloading on
the spot. law. A bill is now pend-
ing in the Senate, known as H.B.
11, designed to stop the practice
of overloaded trucks continuing on
their way after paying a small Jus-
tice Court fine. The proposal
would also give authority to the
Department of Public Safety, the
County Sheriff or his deputy to
make such arrests.
tion districts by Farm Bureau, Na-
tional Grange, and Farmers Union
representatives; report of progress
in soil conservation districts by
Waters Davis, President, National
Association Soil Conservation Dis-
tricts and work of committees on
districts operation, education, pub-
licity, and legislation. Local dele-
gates were active members of these
committees.
Governor Johnston Murray of
Oklahoma addressed the conven-
tion, pointing out great progress of
soil conservation districts in grass
and legumes the past three years; of
getting large area seeded to grass
and Igurnes th past thre years; of
the progress made in developing
such seeding equipment, and great
progres in flood control work in
the Washita Watershed of Okla-
homa.
President Waters S. Davis, NAS
CD, pointed out that never in tlie
history of the United States have
■so many people done so much for«
SCD’s and achieved so much con-
servation as during 1950. Other
1950 achievements of national as-
sociation include publishing or na-
tional magazine, the Dow Chemi-
cal Company Award, developing of
signs tor individual cooperator's
farms and ranches, and organiza-
tion and development of program
for greater conservatio by the Dis-
trict supervisors.
The theme of the convention was
Conservation, Development and Self
Government of Soil Conservation
Districts.
Donald McKnight of Street,
Man-land, winner of the Dow
Chemical Company Award gave a
stirring address Tuesday, February
20 on the subject “What My Soil
Conservation District has Done for
Me"
Other features of the meeting
were an address by Dr. Hugh Ham-
mond Bennett, Chief, U. S. Soil
Conservation Service; a special fly-
ing tour with the Flying Farmers
of Oklahoma to see the Wichita
Wildlife Refuge near Lawton. Here
