THE STATE OF TEXAS:
COUNTY OF ARMSTRONG:
TO THOSE INDEBTED TO, OR
HOLDING CLAIMS AGAINST
THE ESTATE OF JOSEPH E.
KELLEY Deceased;
The Undersigned having been
duly appointed administrator of
the Estate of Joseph E. Kelley
Deceased, late of Armstrong Coun-
, tv, Texas, by Clias. W. Stewait
July 20til, weight 7 2 lbs. named | judg0 of th<1 county Court of
said County on the 11th day of
July A. D. 1944, hereby notifies
effective July 17, 100 percent of
the turkeys marketed and pro-
cesed in Texas are required to
be set aside for purchase by the
Quartermaster Corps. This means
that until the full requirement
of the armed forces Lj met, Texas
producers can sell, only to author-
ized processers or to dealers buy-
ing turkeys for processors. The
birds must be slaughtered by au-
thorized processers and held lor
sale and delivery to the Quarter-
master Corps either directly or
through wholesalers or from cold
storage.
"Generally speaking," said Gene
Barnett, County Agricultural A-
gent, "This means marketing tur-
keys through many of the out-
lets the producers are in the
habit of using. The all important
thing, however, Is to market them
as early as possible so that they
can be delivered abroad hi time
to serve Thanksgiving dinners to
the men 011 the fighting fronts
011 land and sea"
Where they are no authorized
processors or turkey buyers pur-
chasing under the order in a
given locality, the producers who
wish to market turkeys may ob-
tain the name of processors from
either lhe Officer in Charge, Quar-
termaster Market Center, attention
Poultry Section, Produce Termi-
nal Building 1201 Jones Street,
Fort Worth 2, Texas.
Approximately 35,000.000 pounds
of turkey must be obtained. While
the 1944 Texas turkey crops is
large it will not be possible now
to approximate the percentage
which might be finished for the
holiday dinner pool.

NEW BOOKS FOR CLAUDE
LIBRARY
For the week of Aug. 4
Aug. 11.
The Bride Dinned Alone by
Vera Kelsen. This book has the
quality of a solid novel, but sus-
pense and intense excitement
make it a mystery story of high
Caliber.
Thorofare by Christopher Mot-
ley. This is the story of an En-
glish boy who came to the United
States, and his adventures of mind
and feeling in the years until he
became an American Citizc-n.
FARMERS FORCED TO PLOW
VEGETABLE f KOPS UNDER
I was down in the Magic Valley
of Texas where there are thou-
sands and thousands of acres of
the most fertile land In the
vorld In fact this gigantic '.iarden
of Eden in the Lowe,- Rio Grande
District of Texas could produce
enough food to feed the entire
population of the United States
if we could just fence out the
Washington Burea ucrat.1
Down there I saw truck farmers
plowing under acre-after-acre of
fine cabbage. I was told that over
three thousand carloads of cab-
bage had been destroyed in Just
two counties alone, and that si-
milar acreage of other food pro- '
ducts had been destroyed. When
I in quired as to why this good
food was being destroyed they
stated that the ceiling prices
which had been fixed by the OPA
were so low that they could not
employ labor at the present rate
and pay other expenses of har-
vesting the crop.
While I was out in one of those j
cabbage fields where the crop wa>; 1
being plowed under, the County
Agent told me that he had just
received a government letter ask-
ing him to go out and see the
farmers and urge them to pro-
duce more food this year. He was
disgusted, and said he just threw
the letter in the waste-basket. Ha
said he was not fool enough to
go out where farmers were plow-
ing food under ant! ask them to
plant more food.
The people down there think
it is the height of hypocrisy for
a Bureaucrat in one division of
our government to urge farmers
to produce more food, and ano-
ter bureaucrat in another depart-
ment to set the prices so low
that the faimers cannot get back
their CO.-.1 of production. But if
these produce farmers will holler
loud enough. Santa Claus may
send them some subsidy checks
just before re-election time to pay
for the cabbage plowed under.
He has already gotten around to
the citrus growers in that same
district. Good old Santa is get-
ting around early this year, in
most sections where voters live.
I also stayed over night 011 a
large ranch and looked over the
herd of cows and calves the next
morning. This rancher sells calves
off the grass. In former years-
BND—Before New Deal, he used
to sell these calves to feeders who
put them on full feed and great-
ly increased their weight oefcre
slaughter. Now the light-weight
calves are going direct to slaugh-
ter. because the feeders cannot
get feed to finish them out. be-
cause another Bureau in Washing-
ton issued edicts that curtailed
the prdouction of feed. The ranges
are flooded with more cattle than
E'ver had in the history of the
nation, but uiles and regulations
of the Washington bureaucrats
prevent the meat from getting to
your dining-room tables. The peo-
ple know this is pure foolishness,
but they are powerless to control
their own government.—W Lee
O'Daniel.
