BALANCED MILK PRODUCTION
NEEDED. SAYS STALLONES
Texas milk producers are going
to have to do better in the future
than they have in the past, ac-
cording to B. E. Stallones, mana-
ger of the South Texas Milk Pro-
ducers Association, if they expect
to beep their profitable market
and make money. He points'out
that there is no need for the milk
shortage which plagued Texas
cities last fall and winter. Better
planning and feeding, with ample
warm drinking water and winter
pasturage will actually result in
increased production of milk in
the winter, thus assuring a level
production the year ’round.

DAUGHTER OP TUX AN 18
DESTITUTE IN GERMANY
A pathetic plea was received last
week by Mayor Freytag of La
Grange from a Gorman woman.
She wrote that her father had lived
sad worked as a stone mason in
central Texas for 48 years, before
ha returned to Germany. There
his daughter was born, grew to
womanhood, married and was in
happy circumstances until Hitler
came to power. Her husband had
a prominent government position
but was anti-fascist, and was soon
hustisd oa to prison by the Gest-
apo, where he died. She lived in
Dresden until the American air
raids drove her snd thousands of
others from th* ruined city iat
Now destitute, she recalled
her stories of bkt
days and friends in Texas, so she
wrote asking any who might have
been his friends to send her any
Xopd clothing or money they can
spare.
