S. CONGRESSMAN POPULAR FARMINGTON ATTORNEY SEEKING DEMOCRATIO NOMINATION The Houston Herald is authorized this week to formally announce the candidacy of Judge Joseph 0. Swink, of Farmington, for the Democratio nomination for United States Congressman from the Eighth Missouri District, comprised of this and seventeen other Southeast Missouri counties. JUDGE J. 0.

SWINE Judge Swink's name is not entirely new to the people of this District as he is the son of the late E. E. Swink, one of the pioneer Democratic settlers of this community and for twenty years a member of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, as well as being one of the largest farmers and stockmen in the District. Judge Swink has already started an active campaign for the nomination and it is his intention to see as many the voters personally as is humanly possible. Although a comparatively young man he is not a novice at politics.

His great personal magnetism has won him a host of warm friends who are actively helping his campaign. After receiving his education the public schools of Farmington, Flat River Junior College, Missouri University, University of Wisconsin, and a law degree at the University of Arkansas, he returned to home town and opened a private practice. He was shortly afterwards drafted for the office of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of St. Francois County. The following sumin 1930, he announced his candifor Probate Judge of the largest county in the Eighth District.

This office was held by one of the most popular Republican politicians of Southeast Missouri, and the general public, while expressing hope that young Swink would be successful in anything he sought, did not. believe he a ghost of a show. Greatly to surprise when the votes were counted it was found that Swink had the greatest political upset in the history of the county. Four years he sought re-election to this important office, and though opposed by strong candidate, and without maka strong campaign, he was swept office by a tremendous majority. In making this campaign Judge Swink promises, if nominated and eleoted, to represent the best interests the whole people of the Eighth DisHe wants to meet you as man man and to talk over the problems this great District and to that end is his hope to visit this community the near future and meet as many the voters as time will permit.

In closing, Judge Swink will greatly appreciate your friendly interest and in the coming primary election. 0000 EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Notice is hereby given that Letters Testamentary upon the estate of Charles M.

Texas county farmers will have long list of crops from which to choose in making their contribution to the 30.000,000-acre increase in soil- conserving crops, which is the goal for 1936 under the new soil-conservation program, according to County Agent Rav Graham. Included among the tically soil -conserving crops are pracall of the annual, biennial and perennial legumes and perennial grasses grown on crop land from which no soil-depleting crop is harvested during the year. These soil-conserving crops can all be grown with or without such nurse crops as rye, oats, barlev.

wheat or grain mixtures. The nurse crops, however, must be clipped green or pastured enough to prevent the formation of grain. Perennial grasses in the soil-conserving group include blue grass. dallis, timothy, redtop, orchard grass, bermuda grass, bromegrass crested and slender wheatgrass or grass mixture. Annual legumes classed as soilare vetch, winter, peas.

crimson clover and annual lespedeza. beans, field peas, feld beans and cowpeas are other annual legumes classed as soil- conserving, crops when they are turned under as green manure. Biennial legumes in the soil-conserving class are sweet clover. red clover, alike and mammoth clovers. Perennial legumes listed in the soil-conserv.

ing class are alfalfa, sericea and white clover. Also classed as a soil- conserving crop are forest trees on crop land since January 1, 1984. Farmers must have 8 certain specified percentage of their soildepleting bases in these roil-conserving crops if they are to receive the maximum soil -conservation grant to which they would otherwise be entitled. Then for any acreage of the soil-depleting base, up to a certain limit, which is de-, voted to any soil- conserving crop in 1936, they will qualify for the soil- conserving or Class I payment. For any new seedings which far mers make of certain specified for an additional payment, not to crops in 1936, they may quality, exceed a sum obtained by multiplying $1 by the number of acres in soil conserving crops on the farm in 1936.

This will be known as the soil-building or Class II payment. Farmers will be eligible for this payment even though the new seeding of the soil-build. ing, crop i is made on land from which a soil depleting crop was barvested in 1936. Class II payments also will be made for adoption in 1936 of such soil building practices as are recommended and approved for the North Central Region. In Memoriam.
