New Hopper Cars
The Texas & Pacific Railway
Company has been notified by
the American Car and Foundry
that seventy-five new seventy-
ton all—teel hopper cars will
come off t|he assembly line for
delivery during March. Nego-
tiations for the cars began a
year ago but due to war short-
ages, the Madison, Wisconsin
plant has only recently com-
pleted the first car, which was
^inspected and approved by
'company officials February 5th.
The cars, which will be used
to transport such bulk com-
modities as cement, are being
built to special Texas and Pa-
cific specifications at a cost of
about $400,000.

, summer plantings and has pro-
duced fruits of high quality
while the Common Hale’s Best
varieties grown side by side
have gone down with the dis-
ease. The resistance of this
cantaloupe to aphids (plant
lice) makes dusting for control
of this pest unnecessary.
A few points to remember
in raising cantaloupes are men-
tioned by the Agent. First, good
seed bed preparation on land
not used the previous year for
melons, cucumbers,- squash, etc.
will pay dividends? Since sev-
eral diseases are carried on
the seed—they should be con-
trolled by a germicidal seed
treatment. One pound of seed
will plant an acre and provide
for thinning.
Cantaloupes are usually
planted after warm weather
arrives, on rows seven feet
apart and thinned to four or
five feet apart in rows. Success
depends on getting the plants
off quickly and growing rapid-
ly. Fertilizer therefore plays an
important part, so that at least
two and maybe three applica-
tions of a complete fertilizer
should be used.
Boyce House Quotes
Monitor Editorial
In Sunday Broadcast
Heading this Sunday’s Justin
Boot broadcast of “I Give You
Texas and the Great South-
west”, Boyce H-ouse relates an
interesting story of a small
dinner bell which was used to
summons George Washington
and his father, Augustine, to
their meals.
Boyce House mentions that
the bell was displayed publicly
for the first time at the Wash-
ington silver tea and hobby
exhibit of the Daniel McMahan
Chapter of the DAR, which
was held at the home of Mrs.
W. C. Richards of Athens.
The bell, Mr. House continues,
is owned by Mrs. L. G. Wilder
of George West. Texas, aunt of
Mrs. James A. Miller of Athens
who is a great niece of the
father of our country, six gen-
eratians removed.
Risking his reputation as a
teller-of-tall-tales about Texas
on the same broadcast, Boyce
House quotes a series of stories
about Texas weather by Bee
Handley, which were first
printed in the Wellington Lea-
der.
On this same broadcast, Boyce
credits one of his tall tales to
the Whitewright Sun. He also
quotes a story of “Dunk” Car-
rington, printer extraordinary,
by Cayce Moore of the Hearrre
Democrat, and an editorial,
“Learning New Things”, from
the Mineola Monitor.
