Agricultural leaders throughout,
the state last week hailed the suc-
cessful passage of the new scien-
tific truck load limit bill as one of
the most progressive a«d impor-
tant pieces of legislation placed on
the statute books in a decade and
pointed to the fact that united ef-
fort under the direction of the Dirt
Farmer’s Congress was primarily i
responsible.
"Enactment of this measure
which has i>een a bone of conten-
tion before every session for the
past ten years, demonstrated be-
yond argument what agriculture
can do when it marshals its vast
strength from scattered sources
and centers all of its energy in
one direction,” Bailey B. Ragsdale.
President of the Congress said in
a statement issued shortly after
the governor had placed his signa-j
ture on the bill thus formally plac-
ing it into operation.
“For many years farmers and
ranchmen have sought to secure
certain benefits they were justly
entitled to but in many cases of
major legislation they were block-
ed by minority or small selfish in-
terests, because they were unable
to present a united, front. The day
of lack of coordination in efforts
of agricultural groups is a thing of
the past in Texas and from now on
organized agriculture has proven
to its own satisfaction that by sol-
idfying its position any reasonable
and justifiable objective can be at-
tained,” he said.
The new law which permits a
gross 38,000 pound load based on
a 16,000 to 18,<>00 pound maximum
per axle will save farmers and
ranchers of Texas thousands of
dollars annually in getting their
products to market. The new sta-
tute provides stiff penalties for
convicted violators.

Meal Planning Simplified
“Meal planning is easy if one
has plenty of vegetables, eggs,
milk and butter." says Mrs. J. F.
Edwards, home food supply dem-
onstrator for the West Side Home
Demonstration club.
Mrs. Edwards has found that it
is more economical to keep a cow
than to buy the amount of milk
and butter needed for her family
of four. Also, she has a poultry
flock large enough to supply the
eggs needed by her family.
Recently she has added six bot-
tles of orange juice and thirty
quarts of kraut to her food supply.
To make the kraut she shredded
the cabbage, and packed it firm-
ly in jars. One teaspoon of salt
was added to each quart; the jar
was filled with boiling water and
sealed immediately. This is defin-

D. C. DANIEL. Manager
Texas’ Selective Service local
boards this week were urged by!
General J. Watt Page, State Direc-
tor. to warn every reglstant ord- j
ered to report fer induction under
the Selective Servlee System to ar-
range his affairs so as to prevent
undue personal hardship in the
event he is rejected later at the
Army induction station.
General Paue said that there are,
instances when men sent to indue-1
tion stations by local boards are i
rejected on physical or other |
grounds by Army examiners, and i
that State Headquarters is ex-
tremely anxious that any injus-j
tices suffered by reglstants in such
cases be reduced to a minimum.
"Probably more often than not.’’i
the Director said, "when a regis-1
trant is ordered to report for in- j
ductlon, he disposes of his auto- j
mobile at a sacrifice since he hasj
been instructed that he cannot
take it with him. He either sells
or gives away his civilian clothes
and gives up his lodging accom-
modations.”
"But, more serious is the possi-
bility of inequity to rejected regis-
trants centering on the fact that
they have severed their employ-
ment connections when ordered to
report for induction. When a reg-
istrant is notified by his local I
board to report for induction, he|
should point out to his employer j
the possibility that he will not be i
accepted at the Army induction!
station. The employer can then be I
prepared to replace the man if he j
is accepted,” General Page said. |
"or to continue his employment if |
he is rejected.”
"It is difficult to find an imme-1
diate cure-all for this problem, but j
it is hoped that through a closer
coordination between the employ-
er and the prospective induciee
much of the hardship an«i suffer-
ing in these cases may be alleviat-
ed Employers should feel a ’moral
obligation' to hold a registrant’s
job for him until he has actually
been accepted at the Army induc-
tion station. Even though he is re-
jected, surely he has fulfilled his
duty to his country by responding
to the call for service."
"Of course, registrants should be
cautioned to notify thetr employ-
ers immediately whether they have
More Tomato Plants
Given To 4-H Boys
Seventeen 4-H club i>oys of the
Flowella community received 425
tomato plants last Thursday, ac-
cording ic information released by
County Agent Tom Easley. These
plants were furnished through the
courtesy of Eulogio Mlreles who
farms south of Falfurrtas.
This makes a total of 665 plants j
which Eulogio has provided for
club boys of Encino and Floweila,
and the boys have entered a con-j
test with club girls to determine !
who the champion will be. boys or j
girls.
Bulletins are availalbe in the
home demonstration agent's office,
as well as the county agent's office,
for the construction of "Frame
Gardens", and this type of garden
has many advantages over an op-
en garden.
