There were people from different

Rev. Graham took for his subject,
“Daniel in the Lion’s Den.” He
brought a most inspirational ser-
mon. The choir of five hundred
voices under the leadership of Cliff
Barrows is also very inspiring. The
soloist, George Shen, is a wonder,
ful singer with a great voice. Both
the pianist, Ted Smith and Paul
Mickelson, the organist, cannot be

that brought their Bibles, and it
seemed thousands held them up. At,
the close of the service about one
hundred and seventy-five went to

by the evangelist.
It is well worth anyone's time

Farmers, Business Men Meet at City
Hall Monday in Interest of Castor
Bean Planting for Comanche County
A large number of farmers met
at the City Hall Monday to listen
to Ben Spears, County Agent and
Mr. Johnson, Triple A, explain the
process of raising Castor Beans as
a new cash crop.
Mr. Johnson stated that farmers
should raise Castor Beans as a
patriotic duty. They are used f<*r
the production of castor oil, which
is n strategic and critical material
needed by the armed forces. It is
used in hydraulic fluids, heavy duty
paints, waterproof plastics, arid oth-
er water-proofing materials thatr
are needed in large quantities.
There are 85 different uses listed
if Castor Beans can be raised in
large quantities. No other* oil ans- >
wers this purpose.
Farmers can sign up for as little
ns five acres and not more than
50 acres. When the seed is ready
they sign a contract with Commod-
ity Credit, similar to other farm
contracts.
Castor Beans have been coming
from Brazil but not in sufficient
amounts. Mr. Spears and Mr. John-
son had just returned from a meet-
ing in Brownwood where men from
Anson, Okla., Chilicothe and various
experimental stations, who raised
the beans last year explained their
experiences both good and bad.
Perfect Soil
The district of Comanche, Erath
and Brown counties is fortunate to
have an almost perfect soil for the
culture of these beans.
The contract covers only the Con-,
ner Bean. This is to keep the seed
strain pure and uniform. However
a better seed is being perfected to
use later called the 224. The new
bean will be hardier and stormproof.
There will be no allotment of
seed for five years at least.
This, new crop has unlimited pos-
sibilities, but a study of its grow-
ing processes should be used. Mr.
Spears and Mr. Johnson are the
best consultants.
Too much fertilizer or planting
in bottom lands or where there is
organic material turned under is
not good. This causes a rank growth

The Happy Goodman
Quartet Here Friday
The Happy Goodman Family
Quartet from Mayfield, Ky., will
perform Friday flight, March 16 at
the De Leon City Hall.
This famous quartet will be re-
membered as the outstanding quar-
tet last July 4 at Hodges Park.
A large crowd of friends and
neighbors gathered at the First
Baptist Church Wednesday after-
noon to offer their sympathy and
pay their last respects to the mem-
ory of Verble Hodges whose un-
fortunate death occurred at Seattle
Washington on March 6. Revs., T.
J. Sparkman and M. L. Welch con-
ducted the services while Higgin-
botham Funeral directors made ar-
rangements. The body was accom-
panied by U. S. Navy escort, Rus-
sen A. Edwards, Bremerton, Wash.
Interment was in De Leon ceme-
tery.
Pallbearers and flower gtrts were
former school mates and friends of
the family.
The deceased was the son of
Johnny and Beulah Hodges and was
22 years old. He was reared in
this section and had paid a recent
visit to hls home. Verble was well
liked by all who knew him and was
respected and admired by men and
fellow crew men in the navy.
Verble Hodges was a member of
the Baptist Church, having been
converted when a small boy. He
was a graduate of the local high
school and had served in the navy
for several years.
The Free Press joins with the
entire community in offering ■sym-
pathy to the bereaved family.
1'he De Leon Quarterback Club,
at their regular meeting Monday
evening, expressed a desire to get
started on seeing that the new
football field is put in shape for
the coming'season. With Vice-Presi-
dent Reese Upshaw presiding in the
absence of President Blake Heath,
the Club decided upon having u
well dug for irrigating the turf.
Other projects discussed were
moving dirt from the site, building
fence, bleachers, bath house and
planting grass for turf. A plan is
now underway for getting the dirt
moved.
Various plans were presented for
raising funds to help build the grid-
iron, one of which is a minstrel
show, to be put on in the near
future.
Bleachers were taken down from
the old field to make way for the
new school building. It was orig-
inally planned to build the school
farther east in the wooded section,
but the curst of buying more prop-
erty made it necessary to use land
already belonging to the •school.
There are some objections as to
the location of the new field, but
due to circumstances, it was the
most likely spot. It will prove bet-
ter than where it was, due to the
fact that the soil will grow grass.
The Bearyats certainly deserve bet-
ter to play on than hard, bare
ground and sticker burs.
The Quarterback Club, which
is sponsoring only school sports,
plans to see that the Bearcat field
meets the standards of other nearby
schools, and one that will be a
credit to De Leon High instead of
a sore spot.
Information on suitable plates can
be obtained from the County Agent
or P. M. A. office. Seed should be
planted about like peanuts with
rows 38 to 40 inches apart. Ten
pounds of seed are needed for this
spacing.
Cultivation Methods
Castor Beans should be cultivat-
ed very much like cotton. How-
ever the shade after growth has
started discourages the growth of
weeds and grass.
The tall middle spike growing
in the center of the stalk matures
earlier than the other spikes and
must be harvested by hand first.
’ Otherwise it is dry and shatters.
This would be a loss as this center
spike constitutes one-third of the
crop. Mechanical harvesters will be
available by the fall of 1951. There
will be one machine available for
every 500 acres of beans.
Castor beans are easily gathered
by hand. Fanners growing them
last year had no trouble getting
help. They are gathered like cot-
ton, placed in sack free of spikes
and other debris. They paid $1.25
per hundred for picking. The hul-
lers, located at Brownwood and St-
phenville, will not accept them gath-
ered in the spikes.
The hulls are taken by the com-
pany unless the farmer has a truck
to haul them away at once. These
hulls are a good fertilizer equal to
good barnyard manure. But they
i cannot be allowed to pile up as
they constitute a fire hazard.
Cost of growing one acre is esti-
mated in this way; 10 lbs. seed
$1.50, fertilizer $4.50, cultivation
$8.50, gas and oil $2.00, with a
total of $16.50.
There is a guaranteed price of
10 cents a pound for the beans.
However the market price might be
more. The average yield expected
is 400 pounds or $40.00 per acre,
less the $16.50 for expenses making
$23.50 for the
the land.
The plants
much water.
Castor Beans but irrigation
grew a rank stalk. This is another
fact that makes this area good for
the growing bean.
The bean is classed as poisonous.
There was much discussion and no
one seemed to know if cattle or
hogs would ent them but some
horses were reported enting them
and dying.
It is not good to strip crop them
with peanuts. The rank shade is
on obstacle and shattered beans will
be harvested witli the peanuts mak-
ing a poor grade for the peanuts.
Mark Stephens, of the Comanche
Co. Tractor Co., made an interest-
ing talk of his visit to the areas
where the beans were grown. Grady
Terrill, of Terrill Motor Co. and
Vernon Gilchrcst of the De Leoir
Implement Co. were other business
men present. Mrs. W. H. Smith was
present to take notes for her hus-
band who was called out of town.
Mrs. Smith was accompanied by
Mrs. Ivah Pittman and Mrs. F. D.
Hicks who took notes for the news
A number of out-of-town
were also present from Gor-
and other towns.
CLYDE PADEN,
who lectures at the De
church of Christ at 8:0ft o’clock
tonight (Thursday). For more than
two years Mr. 'Paden and a. dozen
others have been successful mis
sionaries in Italy, much of the
work having been done in and near
Rome. Their home is at Frascati,
12 miles out from Rome, where a
good church and orphanage have
been established.
Some thirteen churches have been
established, hundreds have been
baptized, including five influential
Catholic priests. Because of the
outstanding work being done and
the harrassing persecutions, the
Italian Government is hesitant to
allow these missionaries permanent
visas; in fact, the visas are renewed
for only six months.
Just a little more than a year
ago, because of persecutions and
the above experiences, all the news-
papers of not only our country,
but throughout the whole world as
well, carried the most exciting

SAN DIEGO, Calif. Mar. 14. (by
mail)—Marine Private First Class
Billy J. Scott, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry E. Scott, De Leon, recently
completed his initial training at the
Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San
Diego, Calif.
Upon completion of this training
he was prompted to the rank of
Private First Class, an honor be-
stowed upon every Marine who fin-
ishes his recruit training with a
dean record.
The young Leatherneck spent the
first three weeks of training here
at the post receiving instruction on
small arms, first aid, field sanita-
tion, map reading, military cour-
tesy and infantry drill. The follow-
ing three weeks the young Marine
spent at the rifle range where for
two weeks he was taught the fun-
damental principles of marksman-
ship and during the third week he
made practical use of his training
by firing the Marine Corps basic
weapon', the M-l rifle, for record
purposes.
The new Private First Class
spent his last two weeks in the Re-
cruit Depot boning on i
subjects necessary to a
These included bayonet fighting,
combat formations of a rifle squad,
digging of fox holes and a series
of field problems where practical
experience was gleaned through the
application of classroom work.
He has been transferred to a
Casual Platoon here nnd will soon
be assigned to one of the many
duty stapons where Marines serve
their country.
He has been home visiting his
parents, other relatives and friends
recently. He left this week to
turn to San Diego.

news item that caught
our eye was headed “Snowfall Tues-
day (March 9) Heaviest for Years."
The story stated that it was the
heaviest since 1898. As of now the
farmer’s chief concern was of the
fruit crop.
Another interesting account
the huge crowd attending Trades
Day on second Monday. No drunks
—orderly crowd.. A vivid word des-
cription is given of a bronc being
ridden on a side street near Hig-
ginbotham's Lumber yard. We
quote:— "The pony, which was
girted unmercifully tight, pitched
■so hard as to break some vital part
of its anatomy and died almost in-
stantly, this incident occuring only
a few minutes after the owner had
•swapped” for the animal.”
There are many interesting stor-
ies; one of crop diversification
where Marshal Caraway was inter-
viewed as one who had tried all the
plans suggested by the state dem-
onstrator. They give his huge crop
yield but claim that the chief part
of the story lies in the way he had
marketed his crops. They also list
him as poultry financier which I
think the Golden Oak Farm quali-
fies to a greater extent to day.
There is a beautifully written
"Resolutions of Respect,” for C.
W. Patterson. This was the E. A.
Bailey Sunday School Class and
signed by Mrs. W C. Streety. Mrs.
J. B. Wilson, Mrs. S. B. Barrett,
J. V. White and J T. Rice.
The advertisements
catching especially this classified:
“If hauling a trunk is what you
want, just call old Preacher and
me. We never miss a train.—Fred
Harmon." Our prominent attorney
of today must have been quite a
small lad at that time.
The bank advertisement lists the
following officers: R. W. Higgin-
botham, president; T. P. Weaver,
1st vice-president; W. M. Manches-
ester, 2nd vice-president; W.
Lowe, cashier, R, R. Harvey,

It is good to look back on
pages of De Leon’s history so well
