EMERGENCY FOOD
COLLECTION EXPLAINED
College Station.—The plan
for Texas rural women to pro-
cess and ship surplus home
grown products in cooperation
with the national emergency
food collection has been an-
nounced by Maurine Hearn,
vice director for women and
state home demonstration
agent for the Texas A. and M.
College Extension Service.
“Food conservation is pust as
important as it waa any time
during the war,” Miss Hearn
said, "and, judging from in-
quiries received from many
Texas counties we believe the
plan will meet the approval of
4-H girls and home demon-
stration club women through-
out the state.”
All products must be canned
under supervision to be accept-
ed by L'NRRA. Canned foods
should be put in Ko. 2 tin cans.
Processing time tables found ir.
Extension Service publications
B-101, B-88. C-223 and C-224
should be followed. Any of
the following canned foods will
be accepted: meats, including
chicken; ranch style pork and
beans; concentrated vegetable
soup; grapefruit juice; Eng-
lish peas, field peas, com, map
beans, sauerkraut, tomatoes,
and fruits.
Counties who have no sur-
plus fruits and vegetables to
can may ship dried peas or
beans in bushel-size cotton or
barlap bags.
Containers of home canned
foods should be marked before
processing to identify the con-
tents. A recommended meth-
od is the use of a rubber stamp
and special ink. Cans process-
ed by club members or others
under supervision may carry
the Texas 4-H Pantry Label
with the name of the product
typed or legibly written with
water proof ink on each label.
Food must be packed in
ahipping containers and ship-
ped freight collect to the Na-
tional Shipping and Warehous-
ing Officer, Emergency Food
Collection, 100 Maiden Lane,
New,York 7. New York.
More detailed information
about collection and shipping
can be obtained from the local
county home demonstration
agent.
DRIVERS FAILING
IN STATE TESTS;
PRIDE BLAMED
DOLLAR BILLS
RAIN Off CITY;
PEOPLE HAPPY
Garibaldi, Ore., June 6.—
Residents of Garibaldi prayed
today for another rainstorm
like the one that struck last
Monday—but they waited
with buckets instead -of ., um-
brellas.
Dollar bills, crisp and green,
fluttered from the sky soon af-
ter an airplane had flown over
this tiny fishing community.
The bills sprinkled down
over fishing boats, homes, and
business houses. Commercial
fisherman Tom Hess had $16
hy the time the flurry had end-
ed.
Ho flying banks were re-
ported operating in Oregon,
bnt the fishing folks would not
object if their benefactor flew
over again.
Austin, Tex.—This business
of waiting for hours to take
the examination for a driver’s
license could very well be eli-
minated, Director Homer Gar-
rison. observed today, if it were
not for foolish pride.
"Examinees stand in line for
hours, fail the tests because
they have been too proud to
spend a few minutes studying,
and then they have to come
back and stand in line again,”
Garrison said.
In Texas’ greatest rush for
licenses, 80 examiners gave
45,427 tests in April. “This is
nearly twice as many examina-
tions as the number of exam-
iners should give in a month,”
Garrison 3aid. “Frankly, I do
not know how the men can
turn out that much work, keep
up the standards, and hold
their tempers.” Department
records show they averaged 2
hours overtime a day without
overtime pay.
Of the 45,427 April exami-
nations, results showed 11,430
failure to pass because appli-
cants were unfamiliar with
safety driving rules and traffic
signs.
Garrison said a handbook of
the department gives all that
information and can easily be
learned by 30 minutes study.
Sturgis, S. D., June 1.—Two
geologists were enroute here
today to look at the hole in E.
V. Morrill's back yard.
Morrill looked at it and
said, “I guess we’re sound
sleepers.”
The hole i3 35 feet deep and
measured 12 by 18 feet around
the edge.
Morrill could not explain it.
There was no hole in the yard
when he and his family retired
for the night. When they got
up the next morning they look-
ed out the window and there it
was.
Neighbors reported a “blind-
ing flash” about midnight, and
thought it was too bright for
lightning. They thought per-
haps it was a meteor. Morrill
thought maybe it was a stray
V-2 bomb fired from the army's
proving grounds in the New
Mexico desert. But the army
didn’t think so.
To settle the speculation
President jr P. Connolly of the
South Dakota school of mines
sent two geologists to find out
if a meteor had left its historic
mark in Morrill’s back yard.

College Station, June 4.-
Onicn and tomato growers in
North and East Texas are be-
ing helped again this year in
selling their late spring crops
through daily market reports
issued from two seasonal mar-
ket news offices, according to
the Dallas area office of USDA
production and marketing ad-
ministration.
Throughout the marketing
season these offices will collect
and distribute daily market
news reports based on ship-
ments from Texas and the oth-
er producing states. The re-
ports will include local prices,
prices and passings at the prin-
cipal terminals, and market
information from other ship-
ping point areas.
The service is available
without cost to growers and
shippers who request it.
North Texas onion growers
may receive the onion report
by writing to M. C. Gregory,
Fruit and Vegetable Office,
511-513 U. S. Courthouse, Fort
Worth, Texas. Th- i mar-
ket report has been issued
daily since May 27.
Reports on the tomato deal
may be obtained by asking for
R from R. E. Winfrey, Fruit
and Vegetable Office, Post Of-
fice Building, Jacksonville.
This office began sending out
the daily report on June S.
Mid-Sabine Is
Boundary Line
Austin, Tex., May 11.—The
middle of the Sabine river and
not the west bank is the divid-
ing line between Texas and
Louisiana, the Texas attorney
general’s department ruled
here today to settle doubts of
state police.
The opinion was given to
Police Director Homer Garri-
son who said Ranger Capt. H.
B. Purvis of Houston had rais-
ed the question.
Purvis, Garrison said,
thought that by reason of some
treaty, bis jurisdiction as a
Texas officer extended only to
the west bank of the Sabine
River.
The opinion cites the Louis-
ian?. purchase of 1803, bound-
aries set out for the Republic
of Texas and the description of
the boundaries when Texas be-
came a state, as well as an act
of the legislature defining the
boundary.

eyes must last a lifetime, so don’t risk getting the
wrong lenses. Thorough training, experience and

tion and to prescribe glasses that shall exactly meet

FRUIT PROSPECTS
IN TEXAS GOOD
College Station.—Prospects
for a bumper fruit crop are
good over all parts of Texas,
according to C. R. Heaton, Hor-
ticulturist of the Texas A. and
M. College Extension Service.
But,. Heaton warns, due to
the enormous crop of fruit on
trees the heavy load is using
up so much plant food that
there is a slow growth of
limbs and twigs.
Since next year’s fruit erop
will be borne on the new wood
now forming with prospects of
an abundant supply of fruit on
the market, Heaton recom-
mends that fruit be thinned
out from 4 to 6 inches, remov-
ing the frnit that has been
damaged by hail, -brown rot.
