MAN WRIGHT PATMAN
Congressman Wright Patman will
spend the. weekend in Hopkins Coun-
ty, speaking at M-iller Grove at .-ix
o'clock Saturday evening before

fold purpose: to continue to pro-
mote the work done so nobly by
the Federal Government in the dis-
trict nnd to discuss plans for great
cr, more beneficial and more endur
ing benefits for people of the district
and other districts in Texas. Mr.
Patman may not have time to dis-
cuss his record in Congress for more
men, the finest in all Texas, to stay
home and carry on for the home
hind, which some day in some way
will be recognized by all nations and
lie who guides the destiny of all na-
tions as the savior of civilization

put an end to the present European

The development, in prehistoric
North America, of new varieties of
corn also originating from the cross
between corn and gama grass points

have some other characteristics that

For example, gama grass and te.-i-

simple, with tho stocks of plants and
other materials now on hand at the
Texa- Station, to introduce gama
