There were three candidates
for County Commissioner of Pre-
cinct 1, and there will be a run-
off in this race at the August
■primary.
Incumbent R. V. Patterson,
running for a fourth term, was
low man with 645 votes.
J. N. Lee, who made this race
two years ago, was high man
with 786 votes. Lee fell behind
Patterson 38 votes two years ago.
Lucian Humphrey was second
man in the race Saturday with 674
votes, and will contest for the
office against Lee on August 28.
Fire of undetermined origin
destroyed the home of Walter
and Miss Chess Rollins of Bo-
gata, within a few minutes after
being discovered by Miss Chess
at 8:30 a. m. Monday. The kit-
chen attic was in flames, which
soon enveloped the entire struc-
ture, comprising four rooms and
porches.
Bogata’s Volunteer Firemen an-
swered the alarm immediately,
but the fire had gained too much
headway. The clothes they had
on was all that was saved.
Faulty wiring is thought to
have caused the fire. No insur-
ance was carried on the house in
which the brother and sister
had lived since 1918.

cury has soared to the 100 de-
gree mark or above for about 20
days. Little rain has fallen dur-
ing the month.
A cooling breeze moved in Sun-
day night and the mercury rose
to 97 degrees Monday but climb-
ed back to the 100 mark Tuesday „
and Wednesday.
A good general rain is needed
in the area. Cotton is beginning
to suffer some damage by the
extreme heat. Rain would be of
little help to corn and row feed.
Pastflres and grassland are dry-

already begun to feed livestock.
In rural areas some are already

Farm Practices in
Red River County VOTES FOR VICTORY SATURDAY
Reported by Ag’t
New farm ponds have recently
been constructed for livestock
water on the farms of Ben War-
ren, Paul Hill, W. E. Lassiter, B.
L. Rainey, E. L- Green and Sam
Buzbee. New ponds have been
staked for construction on the
Jim Alawine and Bill Ingram
farms and on Dr. J. C. Calabria’s
Magic Valley Ranch. These farm
ponds have been designed and
staked by the Soil Conservation
Service, assisting the district, and
some assistance payments will be
made to landowners through the
agricultural conservation
gram of the ASC agency.
Barton Ponder of the White-
man’s Chapel community, , who
recently combined some madrid
, sweet clover, is now selling those
recleaned seed for 15c per pound.
He had 3200 pounds of recleaned
seed. Madrid sweet clover is a
deep rooted biennial legume and
is a good soil improving crop,
almost equal to alfalfd. It adds
organic matter and nitrogen to
the soil and the deep root system
helps to break up the hardpan
present in many of our soils.
Landowners having land adapt-
ed for growing madrid sweet
clover should consider planting
some acreage to the biennial soil
building crop next spring.
Doyle Morris of the Morris
Farms reports that he combined
some 3500 pounds of Singletary
pea seed. He plans to sell some
of the seed but will keep some
for planting additional acreage.
Doyle states that where Single-
tary peas were planted five years
ago, on land that was almost too
poor to sprout the peas, that the
land has so improved in fertility
that it now grows bermdda grass
knee high.
Landowners not previously re-
ported as mowing their pastures
include: Enos Elder, S. L. Coop-
er. W. M. Fausette, Barton Pon-
der, J. D. Shultz, Emma Ander-
son, A. L. Buckman, C. B. Chand-
ler, Jack Elder, Leroy Lewis, K.

Gov. Allan Shivers
election without a
about 6,140 votes. ’
Practically complete returns to
the Texas Election Bureau at 5
p. m. Tuesday showed the Gov-
ernor short that much of having
a majority—a victory without a
run-off—over Ralph W. Yarbor-
ough.
The Governor’s growing lead
over Yarborough caused some
concern among the runner-up’s
followers. But their fears were
unfounded. There aren’t enough
votes uncounted to make it pos-
sible for Shivers to bp renomin-
ated without a runoff Aug. 28. It
wilj be the first gubernatorial
runoff since the Rainey-Jester
campaign in 1946.
Shivers led Yarborough by
23,852 Tuesday afternoon. But
Cyclone Davis had 16,147 votes;
J. J. Holmes, 19,983. This pre-
vented either of the two leaders
from having a clear majority.
Shivers’ vote was 666,226 and
Yarborough’s 642,374. Total vote
for Governor was 1,344,730—with
fewer than 2,000 votes to come in.
The Texas Election Bureau an-
nounced that it would release
complete unofficial totals next
Sunday.
Clear winners were Ben Ram-
sey who defeated C. T. Johnson
and George Hinson for lieuten-
ant governor; John Ben Shep-
perd who defeated Doug Crouch
for attorney general, with the
biggest majority in pny of the
races; and Lyndon Johnson who
defeated Dudley
for U. S. Senate;
Patman for congress,
trict.
Elected without opposition
were Martin Dies, congressman-
at-large; John C. White, commis-
in headgear when
accompanied by a gun. Cash in your home attracts
