Open Conservation
Farm for Inspection
A look at the Collin County soil
conservation district farm is being
offered to the general public on
Good Friday, April IS, between
the hours of 8 a. m. and 6 p. m.
The district board of supervisors
arc especially anxious that as
many people as possible see the
farm in its present rundown condi-
tion in order to show slep by -ten
what must be done to our black
land to accomplish proper land vi-
and thereby return many of our
so-called worn out farms to nation-
al assets.
This fai m wa selected because
it has a little, bit of everything bad
on it that has come about bv bad
land use on our blackland soil. A
complete conservation program
will be carried out on the farm
with all possible haste. All of the
work that can possibly be carried
out in one brief day to lift the
face of this tired old veteran will
be done n»xt September when a

period of twelve years; and the
underprivileged in elementary
schools are still getting a half pint!
of fresh milk daily, purchased:
with the Legion’s funds.
S. V. Earnest is chairman of
the milk fund committee and in a
statement from him, it was learn-
ed that more voluntary contribu-
tions to this fund would be great-
ly appreciated. In previous years
the Legion’s fund has been built
up from the proceeds of its street
carnivals, minstrels and various j
other amusement projects. Mr.
Earnest said the program of sup-
plying milk will continue for as
long as funds are available for its
purchase.
“The Legion believes the wel-
fare of the country depends upon
children with strong bodies and
mir.ds,” Mr. Earnest said, “and it
is the Legion’s desire to see that
these children have the chance for
such development.”
The funds for the project are
now being produced by the Le-
gion’s club canteen.
Katy’s Gross Revenue
for 1948 Shown to be
14 Million over ’47
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The Missouri-
Kat.sas-'iexas Railroad Company's
gross revenue for 1948 amounted
to $83,203,000, an increase of
$14,476,000 over the $68,817,000
gross reported for 1047 according
to the company’s annual report re-
leased to stockholders this week.
Met income for the year totaled
$6,304,000, an increase of $3,684,-
000 over the previous year.
Costs included $35,814,000 for
wages and salaries as compared to
$31,981,000 for the previous year;
$19,352,000 for materials, rentals
with thousands of gallons of excit-
ing paint mixed with imagination,

war summer season at C p. in. Sat-
urday, April 16, R. L. Thornton,
president of the State Fair, ha?
announced.
The Midway will open daily,
through mid-September, from 6 p.
m. until midnight on weekdays,
and from 2 p. m, until midnight on

1947, and fuel costs of $8,033,000
in 1948 compared to $5,837,000 in
1947. Total railway operating ex-
penses were $60,876,000 a ratio
of 73.09, compared with $53,440,-
000, a ratio of 77.06 the previous
yoai.
Freight revenue for the year
totaled $72,287,000, an increase of
$14,379,000 over 1947. While the
volume of freight traffic in 1948
exceeded the 1917 total, decreases
occurred in the movement of some
of the major commodities. These
were more than offset by a sub-
stantial movement of crude petrol-
eum, most of which moved through
the company’s temporary terminal
at Wichita. Falls, Tex., where ex-
tensive loading racks were install-
ed pending completion of a pipe
line from Jal, New Mexico, to
Cushing, Okla.

has been made in the formulation
of a plan for funding the accrued
unpaid interest on the adjustment

Brotherhood Backs
Plea of Railroads
Before Commission
CHICAGO. — A railroad labor
organization has aligned itself with
numerous shipper groups in sup-
port of the railroad defendants in
the multi-biilion dollar reparations
suits instituted by the department
of justice.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, through its grand chief,
Alvanley Johnston of Cleveland,
O , filed a petition at Washington,
D. C., this week to intervene in the
cases pending before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Bd Surd Old House
Merits Remodeling
Before Job Starts
Before you get too deep into
plans for remodeling an old house
make sure first that the house was
well built and is still sound, says
Mrs. Bernice Claytor, extension
specialist in home management of
Texas A. & M. college.
Do some checking before you
decide to remodel, advises Mrs.
Claytor. Examine the house from
foundation to roof and estimate
the needed repairs and their cost.
Cheek the location from the stand-
point of good drainage, protection
from cold winds which make a
house hard to heat, protection
from flooding during heavy rains,
good sewage disposal and conven-
ience to the highway. Don’t forget
the water supply. Water should
be plentiful and tested for safety.
If the house and its site pass in-
spection, and remodeling seems a
wise investment, USDA housing
specialists say it’s wise to give as
much thought'to remodeling plans
as you would to planning for a
new house, Mrs. Claytor points out.
She suggests that careful atten-
tion be given to the following
points: Plan for enough rooms to
take care of your family’s needs.
Well located doors and windows
will help solve the lighting and
ventilation problems in the house
and don’t forget a closet near the
