this Column wax enthusiastic about
''the many officially designated

' That date is th anniversary of
the submission of th federal con
stitutlon for ratification As th
Daily Oklahoman amid Tuesday it
is - in an important sense th
birthday of tho American republic
i And equally Important with th
original 'body of th constitution
is th bill of rights not adopted
until th second year of President
Washington’s administration
5 W agree with the Daily Okla-
homan that "it would be profitable
if aU of thia constitution week
-were devoted to a faithful study
of th biU of righto It would bo
- profitable indeed if every class in
every American school room were
reminded of what it moans to every
citisen and of how calamitous it
‘ would bo for this bill of liberties to
bo lost It has long been a proud
boaet that every American is the
equal of a king And it is th bill
of right that inaurea that oquall-
‘ ty and perpetuates Jt - -
"We of the living inherited that
charter of freedom from men who
- have long been deed We did not
have to turn a hand to win those
ptrtceless privileges Unlike the
brave men of old who braved death

dom we who are living were born

An -area truck crop fftrmor-U
who is a professional agronomist
and big operator— is quoted In ft'
recent issue cf th Paris News ad'
declaring b would not continue
his truck farming venture in thia
area without irrigation - i
The man is BiU Schmidt a Wl2
eonsln - native ' and professional
agronomist and vegetable fftraa
by trade He farms 49 scree on thf
Jim Sharp piece in the Red river
bottom at Slat Shoals in nearby
Lamar county and 20 acre on the
Ray Peeler farm near Bonham : I
On the Slate Shoals land Schmidt
harvested a bumger crop of green
beans this' year selling them to’
Whitson- Food Products company’s
Hugo cannery at the fancy pact
price
While the beans did come U
market without benefit of -irrlga
tion there was no need for:: it
early in the season but Schmidt
now is banking on th sprinkle
system to turn -out a top qualif
sweet potato crop : ' -
Here 14 Schmidt’ story as
to Tony Prices farm editor of
Paris News:
If Biir Schmidt has his way Beu
river bottomlands: will someday
take ' a place alongside the JU?
Grande "VaUey and Jacksonville
st major Texas truck crop'growing
centers’
"Schmidt look s long stop toward
th production end of the truck
-crop business this year 'shuttling
beck and forth between Fannin
countyand Lamercounty to keep
two farms in operation -' '
“The big question mark fo estab-
lishing - truck crops however
looms in the markets Although
the' Red River Valley may offer
more fertile soil for vegetables
than th East ’Texas and Ms
Grande regions 'the area doesn’t
have the reputation needed to at-
tract stable ’market with com-)1
pstithr bttying that “pats top mob
ey into farmers’ pockets '
"Schmidt is the first to admit it’s
not a one-man job Large acreage
in one crop may be the answer he
relates By large he mesne hun-
dreds of acres where crops have
been counted by the two’s and ten’s
of acres '
"The Wisconsin native an sgron
omiat by profession ard vegetable
farmer by trade says he’U settle
for the Red river bottomlands aft-
er farming commercial crops ' in
tho north and east Currently he’s
farming some 20 acres in Fannin
county on the Ray Peeler farm
near Bonham Ho has some 40
acres under cultivation on the Jim
S Sharpe farm in the Slate Shoals
bottom
"Both -fields are ' new land
cleared of timber and brush with-
lir tho past year"
‘On th Slat Shoals place
Schmidt has harvested a bumper
bean' crop which produced more
than a few premium shipments to
Whitson’s - Cannery - in Hugo
Prospects are excellent for a rec-
ord sweot potato crop although
the lack of a market may- hurt
th success f th crop Digging
of yams In ' Fannin county was
halted recently when he failed to
find a satisfactory market
"While ‘th beans went to market
without irrigation Schmidt banked
on th sprinklor system to turn out
top quality sweet potato crop
“He admits he wouldn’t
continue his truck fanning
venters without an irrigation
system He uses water from
a alough at Slat Shoals
pumping in aix Inch pipe some
819 yard In Fannin county
ho has taken water from a
' spring-fad crook with a river
slough as a atand-by
' "Th sweet potato receiv-
ed about eight Inches of water
’ during two applications A
third application- was halted
by ralas Schmidt applied nl-
! trogen and phosphprua ferti-
liaer through the Irrigation
system Vine growth barred
: tractor operation Ho put the
- fertiliser throng h the system
during th first hour f wa-
tering Th rest of th water
washed - fertiliser from th
leaves and prevented damage
' to th follag
" ’There’s no doubt about what it
didr Schmidt relates
"Irrigation will increase the yield
of No 1 potatoes
"Tomatoes received seven inches
of water - plus fertiliser put
through tti system The irriga-
tion extern was used to bring th
tomato plants through on erltieai
stage Water cam too lata for

NUMBER 38
BUFFSMNGni
YET UNKNOWN
SAYSPARKER
“We still don’t know’' v1
This was th verdict of Coach
Buff Parker given in a talk to the
Hugo Rotary club Tuesday noon
concerning th 1955 version of the
Hugo Buffalo
"Their attitude” said he of tho
quad which includes only three -veterans
“was not so good for
th first two weeks of workouts”
After the Ada game — in which
the Buffs held the No 1 rated ‘
Oklahoma high school toon to on-
ly 18 points— -it still wa a case
of "don’t know” -
“We don’t know” said the coach
“whether the Ada team in good or
just down for their first game”
or whether the Buffs are better
than they aeemd to be - - '
On defense the Hugo eleven was
good On moving the ball it wa
“not so good” Otherwise they
wouldn’t have given Ada ' the
break they did — and “you don’t
make mistakes against chafflpiohs
without paying” the coach- re-'
minded hie interested audience
The Buffb could with a Uttlc more
offensive ability have scorod on
the highly-rated Ads squad
As to the game with the Mur- '
ray college B team hero Friday
night It still is quoth Coach Park-
er a case of “don’t know” “Wo
don’t know whether w will be
playing a straight B team from
Tishomingo or a squad including
some equivalent of big college 1
sophomores” But his audience got
the idee that he thinks it may be
a real football game
Parker accompanied to the Ro-
tary luncheon by hi ' assistant v
Beaver McIntyre frankly listed tho
assets and liabilities of every one '
of his first string players

Buffaloes 13-0 in Ada Friday
night before a crowd of 8000
Outweighed 20 pounds per play-
er on th line and 80 pounds per
player ia the backfield the Buff
named Ada look like just another
football team instead of the power-
house it is supposed to be But the
Cougars won by converting a
blocked kick and a fumbled punt
into tounchdowns
Larry Young 195 pound tackle
was responsible for tho Mocked
kick which gave Ada it first
touchdown He leaped in front of
a boot off th' too of Don Short
Buff tailback on the Hugo 16 and
tho hall rolled into the end sono
where it was covered by Jo Hy-
den 199 pound halfback with 9:35
left in the second quarter Tackle
Jerry Thompson’s boot for th emi
trs point was wide 7
The Cougars scored their second
touchdown four minutes deep in
the fourth quarter The score eras
set up when a Cougar punt was '
muffed on tho Hugo 29 and Ada
recovered the ball Six plays later'
the Cougars sent Ben Welle 190 '
pound fullback around end from
the thTee yard line for th touch-
down This time Thompson didn’t
miss the extra point
The Buffs threatened to score
several times They reached Ada’s
