He has perfected a two-row

the available working time during
the rainy weather 166 percent
over that available for sweep cul-
tivation or for the use of rotary
hoeing attachments with sweep
cultivation. Cotton from one to
five weeks of age whs suceessfully
hoed with the new machine at
rates of 6 to 8 acres an hour.
Here is Rea's summary of what
the new machine did this spring.
From 66 to 70 percent of the
annual weeds and grass seedlings
were controlled with one rotary
hoeing with thee new machine;
two or more hoeUigs increased thci
control to 85 to 90 percent and 95
to 9 8 percent control was obtain-
ed when the rotary hoeing was
preceded by the pre-emergence
use of C1PC at 8,10 and 12 puonds
an acre respectively or Karrnex
1, or Oarmex DL at 1. IV* and 1 %
pounds an acre, respectively, on
Miller clay soil. Lower rates of
these chemicals must be applied
on lighter soils, he says.
* * *
It all adds up, says Rea, to lower
production costs and that means
more profit at the end of the year.
Results of the trials and a de-
scriptlon of the new machine are

Jubilee Paying Bills
—As It Always Does
Brady’s 27th annual July Jubilee and Race Meet is history,
to everyone except Treasurer Charley Darley. He is paying the
hills! You know the Jubilee’s slogan is “We pay off after every
race.” And don't think the race horse men don't appreciate that
‘‘pay off” deul. It has been carried down by the Jubilee officials
since horse racing was brought into the celebration back in the
late twenties. And the Jubilee always pays every current bill
promptly after the celebration closes each year.
Too, there is not a Brady merchant or an individual who
ever worries about collecting his money from the Bill Humes
Shows and Rides. If “old Bill” owes you anything, you can bet
your last dollar you are going to get your money and get it
quick. Unsolicited by Bill, a trade was made right here in Brady
fluring the Jubilee for the Hames shows to play the Gillespie
County Fair the latter part of next month. Several Fredericksburg
men drove up here the night of July 1st and made the deal with
Bill.
* * •
Incidentally, the Fredericksburg fair is the oldest fair in
Texas. Those hoys down at Fredericksburg don’t pass up any good
deal. Remember, hack in the depression days? Fredericksburg got
a beautiful new courthouse under the PWA program. Brady missed
the boat for a new courthouse in those days by only 76 votes! Thr
76-vote count may not hr accurate, but it was somewhere in
that neighborhood,
Back to the Jubilee, Darley raid last Friday that it looks
now that the annual celebration here may break even and may
have a few nickels in the till when everything is counted and dis-
bursed. Not too had, when you think of the prolonged drouth
here for the last four and a half years. Did you ever think of it
... it has been NINE LONG MONTHS and SEVEN LONG DAYS
since The Brady Standard ran its “Million Dollar Rain” Head-
line. To he exact the headline came out in the Standard on Tues-
day, October 6, 1953.
* * *
Maybe we’ll have a wet month of August. Back in August of
1924 the first street paving started in Brady, around the square
here. Believe me, that was a* wet month! And paving contractor
Wilson had a hard time getting started. John Henry Campbell re-
members that year very well . . . because in May of 1924 his class
graduated from Brady High School ... 12 girls and six boy*! . . ,
a total of 18.
* * *
A lot. of you folks don’t know it and a lot of you don’t know
the man, but within the past three years the Jubilee has acquired
the services of a “wheel-horse” . . . Jack Locklear, track manager
and starter of the races, lie knows the race horse business from
A to Z, and despite aJl the talk that we wouldn’t have any horses
here for the Jubilee, it didn’t worry Jack one bit. He got the job
done, and practically every stable at the track was filled a couple
of days before thr races started. And, in rase you didn’t know it.
Jack is a college graduate and taught school for a number of
years. The Locklears live in Brady and spend their MONEY HERE.
* * *
While wc are passing out bouquets, here is a BIG ONE for
Sol Rosenberg, the work-horse of the Good control committee of
thr- Brady Chamber of Commerce for the past four years. There
is not a person in Brady and McCulloch County who wouldn’t
agree that Sol ha/ done his best, and within these last four short
years he has spent much time and thought and has accomplished
a lot of outstanding work in this undertaking. Sol i* right back
on the job, and mark an outstanding report last Thursday night
at the initial meeting of the director^ and committee chairmen of
thr chamber, for the ensuing year. Tommy Ereckson, new presi-
dent of the chamber, presided at the meeting.
i/cs Townsend is councilor of the flood control committee, ami
Sol is hi* chairman again. Lea is just a little closer to Brady
Creek than Sol . . . KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING BOYS.
• • *
After Sol's flood control report he pointed out that thi* busi-
nei of Brady not being able to operate a small factory or two
because of insufficient water facilities is “puppy-rot.” A small
factory, say a garment factory, doesn’t need too much water,
only for the employes, for drinking purposes. The labor situation
in the big cities over the nation is the factories’ chief worry in
operation. Not *o in the small towns, a* workers can live for
much less money. Sol pointed out that if Brady ever needed an
additional payroll, it is needed now to combat the drouth.
