PRODUCE CENTER

Penn Grocery and Service Station
They will buy all of farm Produce
and will be ready to serve you
soon with those delicious Elberta
peaches. This is convenient place
to trade, give them a call they
will appreciate it. Our little town
continues to grow, of which we're
proud. Ferguson's grocery and
Station is completed and have a
nice place of business. Mr. J. D.
Fouche has added new cabins,
and just completed a fish pond
which will be stocked with fish
•and this adds much to his already
modern and beautiful place. Work
has begun on the school building
and will be completed in early
September. This of course is an-
other stepping stone for Queen
City of which we're justly proud.
Maybe some day well be proud to
say! Yes, I'm from Queen City,
Texas.

Church services were very well
[attended Sunday considering hot
| weather. We must remember even
I the weather is hot on Mondays.
jOur work must go on and most
important of all is the 7th day
of the week the Lord's day, after
all this is the good old summer
time ^and such weather is very
necessary. So what ever it is, we
should be content, with that which
we have, no this isn't the hottest
place on the globe by far.
Just use your fan, keep cool
as possible.
ry Patman of the Turkey Creek
community is making his second
cutting this wedk and thinks he
will beat the 1500 bales crop that
he harvested before.
, Sudan and Johnson grass can be
:cut as soon as the first seed be-
gin to form or even earlier. Sor-
ghum should be cut when the first
| heads are formed where it is being
saved for hay,
Cowpeas should be left until the
first pods start to rippen. Soy-
beans should be cut when in full
bloom.
Kobe hay should be cut when in
full bloom which should be within
the next two weeks.
Yes, the sunny weather is good
I hay curing weather, but don't
leave your hay out too long for
the food value will go down very
fast. Grass hay may be left in the
swath until well cured. If a pick-
up baler isn't handy, stack hay
in small windrow piles before the
leaves shatter.
The important thing is to drive
the moisture out fast and don't
leave the hay out in the sun too
long and lower its food value.

During the summer months he
is working as an assistant in the

sity and will begin work on his
Master's degree there in Septem-
ber.
His wife the former Miss Geral-
dine Lindsey of Magnolia, Ark.,
has been working as a secretary at
the - College.
Varnell's parents hail from Cass
County and friends will read with
interest of their son's graduation.
At present the Jim Sexton's are
living at Waynesboro, Miss., where

^SWhe biggest half year
in Studebaker history!
THE Studebaker buy-
ing wave that's
sweeping the country
grew to huge propor-
tions the past few weeks.
By the end of June, so
many people had bought
new Studebakers that
the biggest half year in
all Studebaker history
was recorded.
A 1949 Studebaker is
more than a new vision
of loveliness inside and
outside. It brings new
thrift that counts, new
handling ease and riding
comfort into motoring.

Hay Curing Is
In Full Swing
Hay curing is in full swing all
over the county as every one is
making use of the old proverb
"make hay while the sun shines."
There's a best time to cut every
kind of hay. That time of course
depends on the kind of hay crop
to be harvested. If hay is left stand
ing it becomes coarse and looses
much of its feed value, especially
proteins. This is certainly true
with sericea hay. Oh, yes, Mr. Har
