Cass County Has 443 Acres Trees Planted Farmers Aided by Cass Camp Boys Take Steps to Save Loss- of Land from Erosion. The Missouri Pacific Railroad Co., by Guy A. Thompson, receiver, has filed a petition in the office of the county Judge asking for the appoint ment of a board of six appraisers for the purpose of appraising a tract of lind near Louisville, the property of William H. Hoover, et al. The railroad desires the property in or der to change trackage to eliminate two bridges and a bad overflow con dition when the creeks are high. Judge A. H. Duxbury has named as the appraisers George Born, Frank Parkening, Otto Petereit, J. E. Mei singer, Henry Born. David Ruther ford. This is the first condemnation ac tion by a railroad filed in the court during the tenure of Judge Duxbury. although there have been a great many of the highway condemnation cases. HERE FROM WASHINGTON Mrs. Max Schultz, Olympia, Wash ington, and Mrs. Thomas Hardwick, Tacoma, Washington, are In Platts mouth visiting1 and vacationing with a number of their relatives. The Tac oma, Washington lady is a daughter of Mrs. Schultz. At the present they are staying: with Mrs. F. W. Nolting, a sister of Mrs. Schultz. Other sis ters and brothers of Mrs. Schultz who reside here are Mrs. P. A. Meis- inger. Mrs. John M. Kaffenberger, and E. Stenpat. The completion last week of the job of planting 170,000 trees and shrubs is the result of the cooper ative effort of sixty-two Cass county farmers and members of the Weep ing Water CCC camp. This repre sents a total of 163 acres planted this spring and a combined total of 443 acres of trees planted on 115 farms In the past five years. Farmers have contributed more to tree plantings for erosion control this spring than ever before. In addi tion to labor, power, and fence ma terials, farmers have furnished more than 20,000 trees, and shrubs this spring. The most popular varieties were Chinese elm. cottonwood, black locust and osage orange but there were twelve other varieties repre sented. All of the Austrian pine, yellow pine, and Russian olive plant ed this spring were furnished by cooperating farmers. The success of tree plantings made in previous years is largely respon sible for the interest and increased contributions of farmers toward tree plantings. Plantings such as those made in 1937 on the Henry Ragoss and John Kaffenberger farms, or those made in 1938 on the Fred Stohlman or Herman Schweppe farms are already approaching mature woodland conditions. They are ef fective in controlling erosion, valu able in the protection of birds and other wildlife, and give definite promise of future post and fuel sup ply. The accomplishments and con tributions toward tree plantings this spring shows that trees are taking a place of importance similar to con tour farming and the other conser vation practices used in a complete Job of erosion control.

Smith Thursday that liquor seized by officers in the progress of a raid may be sold on order by the court in which the seizure took place.

FRED SHARPNACK LEAVES Soennichsen's Showing New "Nylojf Hosiery Production Being Stepped Up as Yarn Available See Window Display! We are aomng the fortunate few to receive from the Phoenix Mills a shipment of hose made from Nylon yarn. While the initial quantity we received is almost negligible, we have been assured by the mill that within the next few months a larger quan tity will be increasingly available. The reason for the small quantity of these hose available at the present time is explained thus: "It was originally estimated that there would be, in the entire coun try, a production of about 100,000 dozens for May 15th delivery. How ever, DuPont is about 30 behind in their deliveries of yarn so that there will be only .about 70,000 dozens of Nylon hosiery available on the opening day. While 47 mills have been licensed by the duPont com pany,' about 35 mills will be ready for the opening date. On this basis, there is sufficient amount of yarn to provide onl for an average of about 2.000 dozens per manufacturer. With the great number of retail stores to be services and with such a restrict ed quantity of available hosiery, you can readily see the problem with which we are confronted." See the display of Nylon Hosiery in our window. Wednesday. Mav 15. We will take orders for Nylon hose and fill them in rotation when we receive more Nylon hose.
