THE TEXAS MESQUITER
FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1949
Starlight Operetta
Showing Rose Marie
A gala production of Rudolf
Friml’s “Rose Marie,” one of the
best singing shows ever written, will
be the Starlight Operetta’s second
offering of the season, opening in
the State Fair Casino, Dallas, for one
week beginning Monday evening,
July 4.
Keeping pace with the high musi-
cal standard of “Rose Marie,” the
Starlight is bringing to Dallas for
their first Southwestern appearance
two of the finest singers to be heard
on Broadway in recent seasons—
John Raitt, singing star of the
Theatre Guild’s production of “Ca-
rousel,” and Marion Bell, star of the
highly acclaimed musical, “Briga-
doon.”
Comedy scenes also will be in ex-
cellent hands with this department
entrusted to Buster West, an ac-
complished veteran of stage and
screen, and Imogene Coca, one of the
drollest performers on the American
stage. Miss Coca has been seen in
numerous Broadway revues and is
now one of the comedy stars of the
Admiral television revue, foremost
of network T-V shows.
Starlight patrons through the
Southwest have been eagerly await-
ing “Rose Marie,” which boasts more
than its share of song hits that seem
to gain in popularity through the
years. Among the favorite musical
numbers from the show are “Indian
Love Call,” “Totem Tom-Tom,”
“Rose Marie,” “My Jim,” and “Hard
Boiled Herman.”
The story, a robust tale of the rug-
ged Northwest, is replete with in-
trigue and adventure, trappers,
Mounties, and Indians, against a
background which ranges from the
Canadian Rockies to the elaborate
ballroom of a Montreal hotel. A fea
ture of the settings will be an enor-
mous totem pole to be employed in
a picturesque ballet number.
Dallas County Dance
To Benefit Crippled
All Dallas County is invited to an
old fashioned square dance July 4,

The Palsy Center is an unit of the
Dallas County Society for Crippled
Children.
R. L. Thomas, president of the
Texas Society for Crippled Children,
parent organization of the Dallas
Society, announced plans for the
dance. There will be prizes for the
best square dancing teams, Thomas
said, and Dallas County’s best
known callers will be on hand to
give their chants.
The dance will begin at 8:30 at
the Log Lodge location, 11038 Gar-
land Road. '

New Product Meets
Million-Mile Test
Engineers completed over a
million miles of road tests
before the new Humble Esso
Extra Motor Oil was offered
to motorists. The tests, scien-
tists explained, duplicated
every driving condition, and
all makes of cars were used.
The testers reported that in
every instance, the new Hum-
ble motor oil gave extra pro-
tection to automobile engines.
Humble station salesmen are
urging customers to drain
dirty, diluted oil and refill
with Esso Extra Motor Oil for
extra protection. Adv.

An excellent job of conservation
farming can fee found on the M. L.
Zachary farm in the Elm Fork con
servation group 4-miles Northeast of
Mesquite. The size of the farm is
50-acres, tlje majority of which is
cultivated land. Mr. Zachary works
in Dallas and Mrs. Zachary is the
farmer. It is hard to tell what Mrs.
Zachary is proudest of - a good stand
of Madrid sweet clover that is on the
steepest part of the cultivated land,
or the vegetated waterway that is
now being established. The water-
way consisting of about 4-acres was
sodded with Bermuda grass in April
of this year and cotton planted on
top of the Bermuda grass. Both the
cotton and the Bermuda grass are
up to a good stand. Mrs. Zachary
says “I don’t trust anybody to hoe
out the cotton but myself: I'm afraid
they’ll chop up some of my Bermuda
grass.” She pointed to Bermuda
grass runners, some of which were
two feet long - “I hope this grass be-
comes solid this year as I want to
build the terraces on the steep land
as soon as I can.”
Last year a mile of terraces, emp-
tying on permanent pasture, was con-
structed on the farm. On this terrac-
ed land Mrs. Zachary planted wheat
and Vetch. The late drought last fall
killed most of the Vetch. “I am not
discouraged with Vetch though, said
Mrs. Zachary, “and I am going to
plant it next year, because I know
what a good soil builder it is and I
think I can grow it as well as anyone
else.”
Pasture improvement by mowing
and proper stocking is also being
practiced on the Zachary farm. The
Zachary’s signed a conservation
agreement with the Dalworth Soil
Conservation District in October,
1948.
Native grasses, oonsisting of Little
Bluestem, Big Bluestem, Indian grass
and Side Oats Grama are coming up
to a good stand. W. O. Jorgensen of
the Cedar Hill conservation group
has a good stand of native grasses
where cedar trees were cleared last
fall. Mr. Jergensen also has a good
stand of King Ranch Bluestem on
about 15-acres in the same pasture.
Geo. A. Titterington of the Mountain
Creek conservation group four miles
West of Duncanville has good stands
of tall grasses on two badly eroded
fields that he seeded this spring. Mr.
Titterington plans to use the fields
as meadows.
******
W. P. Luce of the Mesquite con-
servation group two miles West of
Mesquite is saving an 80 acre mead-
ow so he can harvest a native tall
grass seed mixture if weather con-
ditions this fall are favorable. If the
meadow does not produce seed, Mr.
Luse will cut hay from it in Septem-
ber or graze it with livestock. If seed
is produced they will be used to
establish grass on approximately 100
acres on this farm and on a ranch
that Mr. Luse owns in Cooke County.
Technicians of the Soil Conservation
Service, located in Records Bldg.,
Dallas, Texas, assisted Mr. Luse in
the selection of the meadow and will
help him determine if enough native
grass seed are produced to justify
combining this fall.
Miss Betty and Martha Knowles
spent Sunday night with Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Lee jYIorris.
