Sesame cultivation details and equipment needs outlined
Sesame growing in the region requires 90 to 116 days for a season and plants reach 3 to 5 feet with about 190 seeds per pod. Seed production varies by variety, non shattering types under development at Texas research sites, and farmers may need a planter attachment and a grain binder. A public info session and a movie on sesame planting are planned for April 25, 1955 at the Marion Cass Soil Conservation District office. Cass County man Charles T Adkins is jailed in connection with a Magnolia Arkansas burglary, with items including a check protector machine, a Smith Corona typewriter, and Notary seal found at the scene. The burglary occurred March 27.
