Wron" Yarborough
Voters are often reluctant to vote in such state races
such as Supreme Court Justice or some other race in which
the candidates are little known. In such circumstances
many mark their ballots for the candidate whose name
they recognize.
Just such a situation may cause many local voters to
make a serious mistake through name association in the
May 1 Democratic primary.
Don Yarbrough, candidate for the Texas Supreme
Court, whose name will be on the Democratic Primary
ballot, «ts not the ’Don Yarbrough who has visited
Clarksville during previous political campaigns.
While we are not personally familiar with the Don
Yarbrough who is running for Supreme Court, we feel that
we should pass on the observations of H. M. Baggarly,
editor of the Tulia Herald, since Mr. Baggarly does a
splendid job of keeping up with who's who in political
circles. Mr. Baggarly writes 'This is not Don Yarborough
of Houston, former candidate for governor, a very worthy
although unsueessful candidate, but most people think it is
the same man and likely will vote for this man for that
reason. The names aren't spelled alike, but many will not
notice this difference^
"The candidate now running has been under grand
jury investigation and we have been told by some who
know him that he is the last person we would want on the
Texas Supreme Court.
"The incumbent is Charles Barrow, only other person
running, and he s,hould be supported. ,
"The present candidate is an embarr*sment to both
Don Yarborough of Houston and Ralph Yarborough of
Austin. None of the three are related."

Local News Happenings of
Disaster Provisions
Changed
For 1976 we will be
operating our feed grain and
■cotton programs with new
terminology and different
interpretations when apply-
ing the disaster provisions.
Beginning this year we
will use the phrase Normal
Planting Period. This is a
period of time designated by
the Texas State ASC
Committee in which if a crop
is planted a normal return
could be expected. The
Normal Planting Period for
the crops in Red River
County are as-follows:
Cotton, April 15
June 10
Soybeans, May 1
July 15
Peanuts, May 1
July 15 „
Grain Sorghum, April 5
thru May 15
. Corn, April 1 thru May
20
This means that if at
any time during the Normal
Planting Period, the crop
could have been planted no
preventing planting credit
can be claimed. If a crop is
planted during the Normal
Planting Period and it
should fail, producers will be
expected to replant the crop
up to the last day of the
Normal Planting Period.
Twenty-Forty Years Ago
From the Files of
THE CLARKSVILLE TIMES
Any other non
conserving crop planted
during the Normal Planting
Period will be credited as
part of the allotment when
applying the "Prevented
Planting Provision".

In case of crop failure
after the final date for
replanting the crop, there
has been little change since
14st year. First of all, failure
of the crop had to be caused
by a disaster. Excessive wet
or dry weather, hail pr
severe insect infestation are
example. The disaster would
need to be reported as well
as the number of acres
affected to the ASCS office.
We will then inspect and
appraise the area involved.
This would need to be done
prior to destruction of the
remains of the crop. Failure
to do so could cause a farm
to be ineligible for any
disaster consideration for
low yield.

Demand for soybeans
continues to be strong both
here and abroad. Use during
the period of September to
January was up nearly 20
percent when compared to
last year. Crushing for the
season is expected to total
800 to 850 million bushels,
compared with -701- bushels
last year. In January,
crushings were running 17
percent above a year ago.
Soybean exports are ex-
pected to run from 79 to 129
million bushels more than
last year. HoWsyer, even
with the increased demand
for soybeans, the carryover
for 1976 is expected to be
from 50 to 125 million
bushels above last year's 185
million bushels.

Forty Years Ago
An automobile which
has been confiscated in
connection with the prose
dution of a violator of the
state prohibition law was
sold by the county at public
action. The high bid was $16.
The man who had the
misfortune of being caught
with the goods not only lost
his car but has other
punishment heaped upon
him to prove quite con-
clusively that he was in the
wrong kind of business. ,
Construction of water
mains through the Hocker
Heights and Rose Hill
sectors and extension of a
sewer line to the west
boundary of the Hocker
Heights may be undertaken
by the city at an early date
in connection with plans for
the development of this
residential area in south-
west Clarksville.
Hocker Heights was
dedicated as an addition to
the city in 1912 but never
officially accepted. Several
streets indicated on the
original plan were not
opened. There is at present,
however, the prospect of
several new homes being
erected provided the city
can supply the necessary
utility services.
The Lydia public school
will close the 1935-36 year

cally every rural school in,,
the county will have
completed the current year's
program.

1793: We begin to build big business.
Now that we've gained our independence, we need to grow
up. We need to compete in our own country with the imports
England can sell us more cheaply than we can sell our own
products to ourselves. We need to get out of this postwar
depression. We’ve got the resources, the minds and the men.
Men like Eli Whitney, a young Yale graduate who visited a
plantation one day and almost instantly saw a way to clean
cotton fitly times faster than we've been doing it by hand,
His cotton engine (we'll shorten it to "cotton gin”) makes
cotton king in the South. Soon, Charleston will ship twenty
million pounds of it in one year. But Whitney won’t stop
there. He’s getting busy figuring out a way to make guns
without a single gunsmith! And were waiting to see
whether his assembly line idea will \york out.
