B. M. HITCHCOCK
Funeral services wpere held Wed-
nesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
at the Vera Baptist church for
Ben M. Hitchcock. 54, who died
October 10th at Cauthron, Ark.
Services were conducted by Rev.
John Evans, pastor of the Cauth-
ron church; who was assisted by
Rev. R O. Sullivan, pastor of the
Vera church. Interment was in
the Truscott cemetery, beside the
Braves of the deceased's father,
brother and daughter.
Mr. Hitchcock was born In Na-
varro County, Texas, on May 22,
1895. He was married at Cisco, in
1920, and he and wife came from
there to Truscott In 1921. They
lived on a farm there, later mov-
ing to Vera, then Seymour, and
to Arkansas about three years ago.
He was at work on his farm there,
had eaten a hearty dinner and had
gone back to sowing oats when
seized with a heart attack.
The deceased is survived by
three children J. D. Hitchcock of
Fort Worth, L. B. Hitchcock of
Seymour and Mrs. Chester York
of Kansas. All came for the
funeral. L. B. Hitchcock drives
a truck for Joe Tuck of Seymour.
Alos surviving are a brother,
Henry Hitchcock of Cisco; and a
sister, Mrs. Allis Honeycutt of Ft.
Worth. They were here for the fun-
eral. A niece came from Fort
Worth; and another niece living
in Baylor County is Mrs. James
Elam of Westover. Others pres-
ent for the services included a
number of relatives of Mrs. Hitch-
cock.
The deceased was a member of
the Baptist Church, and his mem-
bership was still with the church
at Vera. He was a good man, and
deservedly had many friends.
These join with the family in sor-
dow over Mr. Hitchcock's early
departure from this life.

WHOOPING COUGH
AUSTIN. Texa, Oct. 10. Now is
the time to have your baby pro-
tected from whooping cough, says
Dr. George W. Cox, State Health
Officer. The Texas State Depart-
ment of Health recommends that
vaccination against this disease
be administered at three months
of age with a booster dose of vac-
cine when the baby is two years
old. There is many a child whose
life could have been saved if he
had been immunized in infancy,
said Dr. Cox.
“Whooping cough," said Dr. Cox.
“first masquerades as an ordinary
cold, with running nose and eyes,
followed by a slight cough. These
symptoms develop about 1 to 14
days after exposure. Then in about
another week the cough develops
into a series of continued attacks,
in an effort to expel the trouble-
some mucuous. An attempt to
breathe during the chocking spell
produces the characteristic whoop-
ing sound. In mild cases it may
be absent. The whooping stage
lasts 4 to 6 weeks and may then
take another two or three weeks
to decline gradually.
"Here are some facts about
whooping cough;
1: The disease starts like a com-
mon cold. 1 to 14 days after ex-
posure. In about another week the
cough develops and the whooping
usually begins.
2. It is one of the communicable
diseases children often catch at
school. After a child has reached
the age of five, fatalities occur less
frequently. Children may carry
this disease home to babies.
3. Most important of all is to see
that infants are vaccinated against
whooping cough, for most deaths
occur among children less than
one. year of age.
4. Call your family physician at
once if you suspect your child has
whooping cough and follow his di-
rections in detail.”

BIGGEST POSTWAR CROP
STARTED IN SOUTH PLAINS
AMARILLO, Oct. 11 <Spl).—
Cotton farmers of this area waged
and won a summer-long combat
with insects and have started
plucking their biggest postwar
crop. Even most conservative
prophets say the 1949 cotton har-
vest will be the bumper of them
all.
The 14 cotton producing coun-
ties in the Panhandle and South
Plains—most of them in the
South Plains — will produce as es-
timated 598,000 bales this year.
The 1948 crop totaled 371,407
bales.
There are 1,275,000 acres in
cotton this year compared w'ith
911,000 acres in 1948.
The overall picture shows the
estimated yield to be a half bale
to the acre with some counties
eyeing nearly one bale to the
acre. A very few do not expect
more than a quarter bale.
Growing conditions in most of
the belt were ideal. A few iso-
lated sections saw their seed
washed out but the overall plant-
ing. growing and ripening condi-
tions were good this year.
Acreage is up in all counties;
doubled in some.
Camels and pigs are said to be
unable to swim.
