The above picture was discovered painted on the side of a refrig-
erator car that railroad men had set out on the tracks at the Alva-
rez packing shed. Joe Alvarez. who operates the shed, says it is a
perfect iikenoss of himself and he had the artist to draw the picture.
We think Herald readers wii] agree that it is a good likeness of
Alvarez. Cut lines under the picture says: "My feet, 'tis killing me."
which is also an expression that is used by Alvarez. The word
"Winesap," must have been the name of the artist.

The fall crop of East Texas to-

the first part of June is making a
good growth at this time. It is esti-
mated there will be approximately
1,000 acres in fall tomatoes for Oc-
tober harvest. Growers should not
stimulate plant growth of fall to-
matoes by heavy applications of
fertilizer. A minimum application
of commercial fertilizer with nor-
mal tillage is all that if
