Wheat and oats over the county
don’t look so good. Looked at a lot
of it, and can’t tell exactly what
is doing the damage. Farmers say
they can’t either. It may be that the

cold spell toward the last of March,
when the temperature dropped to
17, was too much for young grain
in the boot. Looks like a half crop
at the most now. Rain would help
a little, but there is still plenty of
moisture in the top soil. Another
two-weeks with no rain would tell
another story though. As dry as it
was last year at this time, this year
has been drier. A fairly-good rain
fell east of McKinney and north of
Westminster last week, but the
central portion of the county is
dry, very dry.

Talked to James Westley Weath-
erby, who once lived near Anna,
but now of Grand Prairie Satur-
day. Jim and I, after profound ex-
position, agreed that present condi-
tions are too good to last. We also
agreed that there is too much easy
money; too many people are draw-
ing big wages when they could be
doing more good following a plow.
After a bit of stalling Jim admitted
he was taking home $125 every
week from his job in an aircraft
factory near his home. Dissolution-

O. J. Wortham, who lives on the
old Pennington place west of
Farmersville, asked me last week if
I had ever eaten any crow. I told
him that I had, figurtively speak,
ing many times, but none of the
real bird itself. Josh said he ’tried
some last week. Tough as whet
leather, he said, tasted like spoiled
fish and smelt like a billy goat.

Talked to W. K. Laughlin who
lives west of Anna Saturday. He
runs a farm of about 75 acres, all
good, level land. Walt was com-
plaining that he could not make a
living on it. Said he was going to
try something new this year. He is
raising ten killing hogs, has two
Jersey cows and about 100 hens.
He has two acres right in the mid-
dle of his best land in garden stuff.
Walt said he was going to turn
most of his 40 acres of corn into
meat, milk and eggs and live at
home. He is letting one of his sons
have 30 acres to plant to cotton and
clover. Yes, he said. Walter Knowl-
ton Laughlin intends to live at
home.

John Eskew, who lives in the
north part of McKinney asked me
if that section was not once called
by a name of its own. Sure was.
’Way back fifty years ago it was
known as Boxtown, due to so many
box houses there. About 1908 Matt
Pearson started an addition there
and gave it the name Urbanton. It
was primarily for those people who
worked for the interurban line at
that time. Matt moved out there
himself, and was killed in his home
by accidently coming in contact

Westrum Howard from over
south of Blue Ridge was in McKin-
ney last Monday to see a doctor
about his side. Wes said he had a
“stitch” in it. Sunday, he said
while a few of his grandchildren
were playing in his back yard, one
of them threw a chew of bubble
gum down. Now Wes has about
100 month-old chicks. One of them
grabbed up the gum and fled, the
rest of the chicks in pursuit. Wes
laughed so hard over watching the
little chicks grab and tug on the
used chew of gum that he got a
pain in his side. The doctor, Wes
.said, told him it was only a strain-
ed muscle; one he seldom used, and
would be alright in a day or so.
Wes said by grabs he was sure the
■doctor was right, as a farmer now-
adays finds that he can’t laugh at
■drouths and low prices.

Franklin Harvey Chandler died
suddenly at his home in Frisco
Monday morning, April 25, at 10
o’clock. He had been in declining
health the past few years but was
able to be up and around the home.
Funeral services were held at 4
p.m. Tuesday at the First Metho-
dist Church in Frisco, with the
Received a letter last week from
a big bank in Dallas. The letter was
brief, and read, “The accommodat-
ing loan we made you March 2,
1955, will become due May 1, 1955.
If your project has not materi-
alized, please consult us immediate-
ly for re-newment. The amount,
plus interest is $22,565.” Well, of
course I knew it was not old Cap-
tain Hall, so I mailed the letter to
the bank, asking how come. I wrote
them to hurry up and send the rest
of the twenty-two thousand, as my
“project” was a flop, but if they
wanted to send the $22,565 along I
could use it to buy pipe tobacco
and groceries. Nice letter of apolo-
gy came back, requesting me to
withhold the name in the letter
sent me by error. I will, but to live
in a town where a citizen can bor-
row that much on his own note is
too good to keep. Willing to renew
the loan too.
