Interest in Liquor Monopoly Plans
Texas voters showed dull interest in a proposed state liquor monopoly, while a prior repeal with a ban on open saloons had already taken effect. The monopoly amendment, placed on the November ballot, faced opposition from prohibitionists and church leaders who feared government liquor business, and a campaign against it began with the Southwest Texas Liquor Association backing anti monopoly efforts. Representative W E Pope predicted an overwhelming defeat, noting broad opposition from wets and drys.

Garden Hints For Early June Season From Extension Expert
College Station based Extension horticulturist J F Rosborough offers early June garden tips. Harvested Irish potatoes should dry 24 to 48 hours in shade, onions with tops down should be pulled and later trimmed, Bermuda onions store briefly while sweet Spanish globe types store longer. Tomato leaf spot signals spraying with bluestone and hydrated lime, four pounds each to 12 gallons water. Peach trees require brown rot spray of hydrated lime and sulfur, boiled into 25 gallons, applied now and every 3 to 4 weeks until harvest. Berry vines should cut old growth after this year’s crop. keep new suckers for next year. Young grape vines should be tied to trellis. prune excess growth to prevent ground trailing, easing cultivation and spraying.
