Pre-Emergent
Chemical
Program Set
Dr. : Allen F. . Wiese from
Bushland Experiment Sta-
tion will present a program
on pre-emergent chemicals
for grain sorghum and cot-
ton at a meeting Tuesday
night at 7:30 in the district
courtroom. ;
Others on the program
will include Charles Cy-
pert, sales representative
for an agricultural chemical
firm. ;
“This should prove to be
an excellent program for
Carson County farmers where
representatives from re-
search and commercial fields
give their views on modern
chemicals,” County Agency
Bob Sims said. ;
Propazine which is sup-
posed to control weeds and
grass in grain sorghum will
be the main topic. :
“This is another program
presented for your benefit
by the Carson County Crops
Committee and everyone is
invited and urged to attend,”
Sims added.
Wheat Seeding
Over Average
Texas winter wheat seed-
ings for 1964 harvest are
set at 4;079,000 acres, ac-
cording to the Texas Crop
and Livestock Reporting
Service. This is six percent
above last year and five
percent above the 1958-63
acreage.
The reporting service in-
dicated that based on Dec-
ember 1 conditions, a crop of
44;869,000 bushels is in
prospect. If realized, this
will be slightly above the
1963 production of 40,618,-
000 bushels and 1962 pro-
duction of 43,696,000 bu-
shels, but far below the
1958-62 average production
of 66,334;000 bushels.
Moisture from February’s
10 to 25 inch snow over the
Northern High Plains was
beneficial, and moisture re-
serves are now sufficient to
carry the crop until spring
growth starts. In the South
Plains and eastward across
north Texas, wheat prospects
continue to brighten due to
recent moisture received
over most of the area.
How To Live Is Theme Of
Career Day Keynote Talk
“I’m not interested in
what you do to make a liv-
ing, but how you live.”
This was one of the open-
ing remarks of John Frank
of Sapulpa, Okla., founder
and president of Frankoma
Pottery Company, who was
the keynote speaker at the
annual PTA sponsored Ca-
reer Day at Panhandle High
School Thursday. ;
Frank, a noted speaker
throughout the nation, illus-
trated points in his talk with
a potter’s wheel and a ball
of clay which was formed
into various designs. At one
point he made reference to
the bibical story of the man
who was told to go watch
the potter and illustrated
what the man saw as he made
a fac
a faulty vase, the corrected
the fault. ;
“This is a spiritual wor-
ld, not a materialist world,”
Frank told the high school
students, teachers, consult-
ants and visitors in the gen-
eral assembly which pre-
ceeded the Career Day meet-
ings between students and
consultants from the busi-
ness and professional world
in special meetings. ;
“What you learn when you
are in your teens, you re-
member. Chances are 1 to 19
you won’t learn it later,”
he said.
Frank discussed his work
as an artiest and how he be-
gan to create things. “Since
I was created in His image,
I am a creator,” Frank said.
An artist is responsible
to the people to take his
medium and put himself into
and create something which
did exist before, he told
the audience.
“Wealthy people are those
who know where they'are go-
ing and where they have
been,” Frank emphasized. ;
“We can loose money but
if we learn values, we will
always have them. Know
how is worth more than
money,” he stated. ;
In attempting to make a
clay bowl into a plate on the
potter’s wheel, Frank ex-
plained that it did not always
work and when it collapsed
he made the statement, “One
you louse up your life, it
takes a lifetime to rebuild
it, as it would take me sev-
eral minutes to rebuild this
clay into a plate.”
At noon, Frank was the
speaker at a joint meeting
of the Lions and Rotary
Clubs who were hosts to the
Career Day consultants at
dinner in the War Memorial
Building.
Frank described his prob-
