Blair road NV, last night de-
stroyed more than 1000 cases of
beer and caused damage esti-
mated by the owner, Wash B.
Williams, in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
Most of the bottles were cracked
by the intense heat. The company
is sole distributor for Schlitz beer
here.
Mr.. Williams said that the 1000
cases lost were all stacked inside the
warehouse. About 2,40O cases were
on railroad cars on a siding a few
feet from the rear of the warehouse,
but were not damaged, the owner
! added.

Firemen were concerned over
underground fuel oil tanks and
pumps to the rear of the building,
but the flames were extinguished
before the fire was able to spread.
Mr.. Williams said that 81 cases
OF shotgun shells belonging to the
Park or. VIII o1o,, Cportjpr cooIe ~
which were stored in a fire-proof
room under the cement floor of a
warehouse, were unchanged.
The blaze was discovered at about
pm. by the night watchman Louis

company credit manager.
Firemen said the blaze apparently
started in garage at one end of the
warehouse. Two trucks in the garage
were destroyed. Five other trucks

the fire spread to the railroad cars

said the carloads were the first of

was imposed this week.
Mounting to the top of the ware
house, f1remen chopped their way
through the roof while flames and
smoke were still swirling around
them. Hoses extinguished the blaze
by about 1915.
"Two-thirds of the building seems
to be about gone" Mr.. Williams
said. "A couple of the walls are
ready to cave in, so they've been
closed off,"
Regarding the damage, he said
the building should run to about
$4,000 or $4,000, and two ice ma
chimes for a freezing unit at about
$4,000.
I'm have to count all the beer
inside as lost" the owner remarked.
Even the bottles which weren't
broken are useless, because at such

BY A. P. ccrron

B. w. Humphrey Of Ebenezer is

old pasture he is applying 1000 lbs.
of basic Stag per acre on the old sod.
On the new pasture being establish
ed he is applying 1000 lbs. per acre
and discing it in. The new pasture
win be seeded to pasture plants con-
sisting of dallas grass, white clover
and lespedeza.
In cooperating with the soil con-
Servation district several years ago
Mr.. Humphrey constructed some
secondary drainage bitches. On a
recent visit to this farm he stated
that this drainage had doubled his
yield in cotton and corn. Before
establishing his average yields were
10 to 10 bu. of corn per acre and $50
20 $50 lbs. Of lint cotton per acre.
Now he is averaging 80 bu. Of corn

bitches. Mr.. Humphrey has con-
structed four stock ponds during the
past two years. He states these
ponds have meant as much to his
cattle production as the improved
pastures. In 1943 his water supply
was inadequate and he lost several
cows and had to rent pasture
which was 25 miles away to which
he hauls his cows. He stated this
resulted in complete loss of profit
on his cattle. T. w. Ware, a farmer
near Lexington, has cut his cotton
and corn stalks. He states that he
makes practice Of cutting them
soon as he gathers, this will improve
his soil. He said that throwing these
stalks on top of the land will cerate
a litter which will prevent erosion,
cause the stalks to rot earlier, makes
them easier to turn under, and they
| will give less trouble in cultivating
| the following crop.
