Testing Laboratory. Farmers will
be able to get their hay or silage
analyzed for protein content or
a complete analysis made. When
a complete analysis is made the
per cent of energy, total digesti-

Thirteen game wardens made a
week end tour of Lake Tawakoni
checking license. A large number
of notices to appear in court
were issued. The State’s fishing
license only costs $2.15 and the
minimum fine for not having it
is $27.50. You can buy a lot of
licenses for that kind of money.

The County received 1-2 to 1
inches of ram, Saturday night,
April 4, and a whole lot of wind.
The rain fell hard and would
have been a pond filler if it had
kept up until three or four inches
had fallen.
A&M University announced
0
ers to keep a close watch for in-
sects on their small grain and
legumes that will be used to
harvest seed from. There are
many fields of good vetch and
crimson clover that could make
a profitable seed crop if the in-
sects are controlled.
Two insects usually do most of
the damage to vetch. These in-
sects are the pea aphid anl vetch
weevil. These insects are easily
controlled with chemical poisons.
The aphid is a soft green insect
that sucks the sap from the plant.
They are usually clustered along
tender stems and under the
leaves. The weevil is not often
seen. It is a dark hard shelled
insect. The female weevil lays
eggs on the small seed pod. The
weevil hatches and bores through
the pod and into the small vetch
seed thus destroying it. If wee-
vils are a problem, an application
of endrinand diedrin applied about
the time the blooms begin to slip
from the seed pod will help to
control this pest. Apply parathion
to control the aphid.
If cut worms or grasshoppers
are damaging the crop, add toxa-
pheme to the spray.
If bees are in or near the field,
to be sprayed, remove or notify

when using any chemical. Be sure
to follow directions and warnings
on the label.
See your Soil Conservation Ser-
vice technician for further in-
formation. or contact your local
County Agent. He is equipped to
make an insect count and deter-
mine the severity of infestation.
Are gophers destroying your
grass roots system? As our pas-
tures increase and improve so
does the gopher population. For
best results, use the mechanical
burrower which places poisoned
grain into the artificial burrow.
After this is done wait a few
days and when new mounds are
seen, use a probe to find the run
and place poisoned grain in by
hand.

I take this means to solicit your vote and active support on the following
statement and qualifications:
1. Bom and reared on farm—41 years old (know what work is—and what
work will accomplish when applied properly to any trade).
2. Educated in public school—and trade schools in the service.
3. Veteran—World War II (12-15-41-1-26-46). Entered service as a pri-
vate in Army Air Force—separated from Active Service as Captain Army
Air Force. Served in overseas combat—German prisoner of war for 13
months.
4. Married—Father of three daughters (two daughters now married and
reside in Van Zandt County).
5. Have owned and operated successfully my own businesses (Hauling
Service in Dallas—Grocery Store in Mesquite and Cafe in Grand Saline).
6. . Prior to moving to Van Zandt county served on Dallas Fire Department
five years.
7. Moved to Van Zandt county of own choice. We liked the people and the
country. Have always been pleased with our decision to move to Van Zandt
county.
8. Have served the people of Grand Saline as their Chief of Police
(1-1-55 to 1-1-56).
Resigned to make Sheriff race in 1956, at which time I ran second.
Being a true Democrat, I have done what I believe the Democratic way—
and (have lived up to the code of ethics the voters and residents of Van
Zandt county have a right to expect of their candidatea I have waited two
full terms (eight years) before asking the people again for their vote and
support in another effort to be elected Sheriff of Van Zandt county.
I have (had no criticism to offer of the present administration nor do I have
any to offer at this time.
I have cooperated when called on in every way.
9. I have experience in law enforcement work (and eight years ago receiv-
ed from the people of Grand Saline an endorsement of seven out of 10
votes—with five men in the race) where I had just finished serving as
Chief of Police.
My basic beliefs are as follows:
I will carry out the duties of this officee in a fair, honest and impartial
manner.
To handle each problem regardless of how large or how small in an effi-
cient manner.
To be courteous and understanding of other party’s feelings.
To work very close with parents and school officials in teenage problems
—Strive to have the confidence and respect of this group. Achieve this
through fair, courteous anci impartial treatment.
I will answer every call to this office that is humanly (possible to do so.
I will be alert and aware of each problem handled by this office.
I will cooperate with all local, county, state and federal offices in every
manner.
I will station deputies in areas over the county where this office can and
will give prompt and efficient service to everyone.
Have for deputies men of honesty and integrity.
I will carry out these duties in a manner that will be a credit to this coun-
ty and its people.
I believe, to carry out these duties as they should be, a man should have
experience in law enforcement work (prior to attaining this office).
I have but one obligation to the citizens of Van Zandt county and that be-
ing to carry out these beliefs in an honest, fair and impartial manner.
I have campaigned on my merits, accomplishments and integrity I have
slandered no one nor do I intend to.
I have tried to live by Christian principles, be an example for my family,
one that will be of high honor. We are members of the Baptist Church.
I am publishing this article at this time to give anyone who might like to
check the validity of the foregoing statement time to do so.
‘ A charge of two dollars is
made for protein content only, or
$7.00 for a complete analysis.
In addition to the above ser-
vices. the Extension Specialists
will suggest a balanced ration to
be fed with the forage if the live?
stockman requests it. For this
service the livestockman will fill
out an information sheet giving
the kinds of feed he already has
or intends to buy. The specialist
will take this information, plus
the forage analysis and work out
a balanced ration. There is no
additional charge for this service.
The service that the Extension
Specialist gives could be the most
valuable part of the forage pro-
gram. This will help the live-
stockman to one step further in
his beef or dairy operation and
could save him money.

wood were judged for the Com-

ple who live in the community.
