Be it resolved that this Convention of the Demo-

names of Adlai E. Stevenson and John Sparkman be
placed on the ballot under the label of The Democratic
Party if it does so direct, does so because of the pledge
given at the Chicago Convention and the provision of
the present Texas Election Code, and to give such Demo-
crats as desire to do so an opportunity to vote for Stev-

Be it further resolved that it is the recommendation
of the Convention that every Democrat in Texas vote
and work for the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower for
President and Richard Nixon for Vice-President either
under the label of the The Republican Party or the label
of any other party that may have electors identical with
the electors as finally approved by the Republican Party
in Texas, and,

of 1952. During 1951, the last year for
which figures arc available, proved re-

W DALLAS
n brief, the Texas oil industry during the past year
continued to do its part in meeting the demand for oil. It has
expanded pipelines to provide low-cost transportation.
It has improved facilities for making more and better
petroleum products for your use. Today, two gallons of
gasoline do work that required three gallons in 1925; and the
gasoline costs no more than it did then.
New Wells —During the twelve months
ending August 31, 1952, the Texas oil
industry drilled 17,000 new wells, at a
cost of over $700 million. Most of the
heavy expense of drilling these new wells
was paid from earnings plowed back into
the development of the State's oil re-
sources.

Sweet Potato Market
Sweet potato prices have de-
clined slightly but due to short
supplies and competition among
buyers we do not think the mar-
ket will go below 6c per pound.
Some sweet potatoes are bringing
growers 7c per pound and a few
lots of extra good sweet potatoes
brought as high as 8c. The sweet
potato trade in Louisiana thinks
this year’s crop will be slightly
larger than last season. Other
southeastern states report fewer
potatoes this year. When cold
weather arrives and sweet pota-
to consumption increases, there
should be a strong demand and
higher prices.
Last week, Ralph Michael of
the Gilmer Experiment Station
and I went to Louisiana to visit
the Sweet Potato Show. We
checked variety performance in
fields and in market channels.
Most growers are using Louisiana
Porto Rican Unit 1. A selection
of Ui.it I called No. 2 has better
flesh color and appears to be
smoother than Unit 1. Many
growers are using it now and
more seed will be available next
season.
Gold Rush is steadily increas-
ing in popularity. Louisiana grow-
ers report that Gold Rush ma-
tures quickly, has skin that is
tougher than Porto Rican and
does not skin as easily, and out-
yielded all others this season. It
is very resistant to stem wilt and
does not loose its golden flesh
color when planted in light soil.

Since Van Zandt county has
been placed under quarantine for
Pink Boilworm, cotton farmers
should be taking some measures
to help prevent the spread of this
destructive pest. He is by far the
most destructive of all cotton
pests and it is well to try to con-
trol him before he has spread too
widely.
C. E. Wesley, entomologist with
the United States Department of
Agriculture, Division of Entomol-
ogy and Quarantine, will be in
charge of control work in Van
Zandt county.
One of the measures which
cotton farmers are urged to take
is also a good farm practice.
Stalk destruction as soon as the
cotton has been picked is an ef-
fective control measure since it
removes the worm’s food supply
and hibernation place at the same
time. Stalks should be cut or
chopped as soon as possible and
plowed under. wherever possible.
Tests have shown that where
stalks were turned under to a
depth of 2 inches, 60 per cent of
the worms over-wintered and
emerged i the spring; at a depth
of 4 inches, 40 per cent emerged;
and at a 6 inch depth only 10 per
cent of the worms emerged in the
spring.
Another good practice is to
graze the cotton fields heavily
and even overgraze since cattle
will clean up all damaged bolls
rot picked or pulled, all locks left
hanging, and all green bolls
which have provided a food sup-
ply for the worm.

very promising. It has a purple
skin like Red Velvet and the flesh
has a rich gold color. Growers
who prefer Red Velvet would
like this selection because of its
smoothness and attractive ap-
pearance.
All of these potatoes are under
test at the North Louisiana Ex-
periment Station at Chase, La.
Dr. R. T. Hernandez is in charge
of the sweet potato work. At this
time there are between 2000 and
2500 bushels of Gold Rush pota-
toes in the hands of East Texas
growers. In addition to Gold Rush
"240," Porto Rican Selection 2
and 9-33 will be under tests at
the Gilmer Experiment Station
next season.
Sizing Sweet Potatoes
Helps To Sell Them ,
For the first time some sweet
potato sizing equipment is being
used. The machine divides the po-
tatoes into three sizes small
medium and large. The small size
ranges from 2% to 2 3 4 inches in
diameter; the medium size ranges
from 2 3 4 to 3% inches in diame-
ter; and the large ranges from 3%
to 3 3 4 inches in diameter.
These potatoes are packed and
labeled on a size basis. Grocery-
man can place each size in sep-
arate display bins so the house-
wife can get the desired size with-
out having to mull over a big
pile of mixed sizes. Early shop-
pers usually get the good baking
size of sweet potatoes and later
in the day only pie type sweet
potatoes are left. If the house-
wife can’t get what she wants in
the sweet potato bins she is apt
to find an appealing package of
Irish potatoes on the display
counter.
Don’t Treat Peach and
Plum Trees For Borers
October is usually the month
for treating peach and plum trees
for borers. In average years,
daily temperatures in October
are about 70 degeres F and the
soil has moisture to hold the PDB
fumes, for an effective treatment.
The temperatures are about right
but the soil is too dry. Doctoring
each tree in a big orchard is not
a small job and the cost is con-
siderable. Wait until we get some

Kind-Hearted Sheriff’s Deputies
Let Ball Game Continue
Corsicana -A Corsicana-Calvert
Negro football game might have
broken up here Thursday night,
had it not been for two kind-
hearted sheriff's deputies.
Just as play was about to get
underway, Deputies Howe French
and Pete McCain recognized the
referee as a long-sought fugitive.
They searched their files, found
the old warrant of arrest for
worthless check writing, and
walked on the field to nab the
grid official.
He pleaded, “Can't we finish
the game, please?”
So, the deputies wanting to
see the game, too, made the ar-
rest at the sound of the final
whistle.
