The gadget contained a reed or
league has been formed with seven
teams definitely participating. An
organized meeting was held on
Monday night at the district
courtroom with Charley Dye in
charge. Other teams may join the
league, Dye said.
The First Christian Church, the
Brady Fire Department and the
Brady Butane Company, all in
Brady, will sponsor teams along
with Pear Valley, Salt Gap, Mel-
vin and Rockwood. Lohn will like-
ly make the eighth team in the
loop, Dye said, and Fife and Wal-
drip have shown interest in par-
ticipating in the league.
On Monday night, April 3, a
final meeting will be held in Lohn
with George Reed in charge. A
schedule will be prepared at that
time and other arrangements will
be completed. Dye urged all team
sponsors to attend the meeting, or
to notify him is they would be un-
able to attend. All other interested
persons are invited to attend, Dye
said.
The league will use the new
“fast ball” and will be governed
by the rules and regulations of
that game. This is the first system
to operate under this system in
the community. Play will probably
begin about May 1.

Enumerators Finish
Training Today
Enumerators for the 1950 cen-

plete their training today, Wayne
Spiller, crew leader said yester-
day. As a portion of their final
training practice enumerating will
be done today. If the work is
satisfactory it will be used as of-
ficial records en the eengus Spiller
said.
Enumerations will actually get
under way on Saturday. April 1,
Spiller stated. Due to the. school
trustee election it is likely that
operations will be hampered some-
what, and the workers will begin
in earnest on Monday.
Under the present schedule the
census is due to be completed in
Brady in two weeks and in the
rural areas in four weeks. The
Job of enumerating the residents
of the county is a big undertaking
Spiller said. He urged all citizens
to cooperate with the enumera-
tors to the best of their ability.

"A very prominent fact cited by
Dillard was the disappearance of
about 51,000 small farms in the
state during the past 15 years. In
addition, many agricultural areas
which were rich producers of truck
garden products, hay and other
agriculture products have grown
to the point where they produce
only enough for the use of the
persons occupying these areas. The
reason for this great decline, said
Dillard, is the fact that farmers
have not been able to get their
products to market.
“With many farm-to-market
roads being built in the state,
that last mile from the farm-to-
market road to the front gate of
the farmer or raneher. is what we
are striving to obtain." Dillard
