i a„V. TWO-'¡HE CHEROKEEAN OF RUSK, TEXAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 19 1971
PRACTICALLY IMPREGNABLE
Cecil Goodman of Wells and
1 were talking last Monday
about the effects of the drouth
on the Cherokee County cattle
business. Cecil says the
clover is about gone in his
_|r^ and he doesn't know what
cattle will haye to eat when
it's gone. He says the grass
just isn't putting out. We were
also discussing the likelihood
that crimson clover may not
make a seed crop this year in
many pastures. Fven where
cattle have been taken off
the clover, seed heads are so
small that seed content as
well as quality may be ex-
tremely low.
One thing that Cecil mention-
ed that could be helpful under
existing conditions is selling
calves off cows as early as
possible. This takes some of
the stress off the cow. It
doesn't take as much feed to
maintain her body weight and
she may breed back more
readily to drop calves at a
desirable time.

Energy may be the most
critical need of some of our
cattle at the present time.
The small amount of green
pickings they are getting is
probably pretty good in pro-
tein content, but total amount
consumed may be so small
they won't get enough energy.
Energy probably can be fur-
nished more easily and econ-
omically with ground grain
than with hay at present pric-
es. Hay is both difficult to
find and high in price. The
amount of ground grain to feed
will depend upon the amount
of grazing available. Self
feeding mixtures might be
desirable. Again, the ratio
of salt to grain will vary with
the amount of grain you want
the cattle to eat. 1 will be
glad to discuss feeding pro-
blems with you and help work
out a supplemental feeding
program to fit your individual
situation.
Of course, we all hope it will
rain by the time you read this
and eliminate some of our
feeding problems. L ong-
range weather forecasts have
promised the possibility of
showers this week,

I was talking with Bob Bow-
man Saturday, longtime friend
and public relations rep-
resentative for one of the lar-
ger timber industries in East
Texas. Bob says that fire
outbreaks are becoming an in-
creasing problem in their
timber holdings. He says
that very few of these appear
to be Intentional. Most appear
to be the result of careless
campers, and overnight fish-
ermen.
Those of us who liketocamp
out and fish should be extra
careful in where we build
camp fires, and make doubly
certain that the fire is com-
pletely extinguished before we
leave it. If adequate water
is not available to put the fire
out, then take a shovel and
add enough dirt to completely
cover and smother the fire.
As dry as it is, and with
the winds we have been hav-
ing, fire hazards are too great
to take chances.
If you have timber that is
open to camping or fishermen,
it might also help to plow
firelanes around camp site
areas-just in case.
Here's just a reminder to
hog producers, or anyone sel-
ling swine. Texas is under
a Statewide Hog Cholera
Quarantine for 60 days, be-
ginning March 29. All hogs,
other than hogs being mark-
eted for slaughter, must have
on-the-farm inspection and be
accompanied by a permit be-
fore they are moved in mar-
ket channels. Veterinarians
and representatives of the
Texas Animal Health Com-
mission may make the ins-
pections and Issue the per-
mits.

LABOR LAW REFORM NECESSARY
Strikes during 1970 accounted for more than 62
million man-days lost—the highest level in over a
decade and up sharply over 1969, when 42,7 mil-
lion man-days were lost.
Many of these strikes had substantial repercus-
sions on society as a whole, especially in the areas
of education, transportation, sanitation, and other
essential services, and most of these strikes ended
only after agreement on large wage settlements
which will directly contribute to a continuance of
inflation.
While we agree that third-party intervention
rarely offers an amicable solution to this pressing
problem, the Congress might well make a study of
both management and unions at the bargaining
table. But the real need is reform of our labor laws
in order to regain a better balance in collective
bargaining.
AN EDITOR'S TRIALS
If you stop to think about It, every community, large or
small, gains its sense of Identity and purpose through
the pages of its local newspaper. If you want to find out
anything or let other people know about some event,
service or product. It's a pretty fair bet that the pages
of your local newspaper can lend a hand; even ex-sub-
> aafibers seem to ^hlnk so.
A letter published in the Hayti, Missouri , Herald, makes
this point and illustrates, as the editor put it, ".....one
of the better days in the life of a weekly newspaper pub-
lisher.'' The letter says, "Dear Editor: Please send me
a free copy of your newspaper containing the obituary of
my aunt. Also publish the enclosed clipping of the mar-
riage of my niece. And I wish you would mention in your
columns, if it doesn't cost anything that I have two calves
for sale and our church Is having a chili supper Friday
night and the tickets are only 75 cents. As my subscription
has expired, please stop the paper as I can't waste money
on newspapers.--Ex-subscriber."
About the only comment that can be made here is that
some days just start out bad, and once > in awhile they
don't get any better!

New Sewer
Planned For
Maydelle
According to R.P. Bailey,
secretary - treasurer of the
Maydelle Water Supply Cor-
poration, a sewer system to
serve more than 100 homes
in the Maydelle area is be-
ing projected. The community
has hopes of getting a 30
percent grant and a loan from
the Farmers Home Adminis-
tration and Housing and Urban
Development. The board of
the proposed sewer company
will be comprised of direct-
ors of the water company,
of which D.L, Arnwlne Is
president.
It is hoped the sewer sys-
tem will serve the 114 cust-
omers presently on the wat-
er line.
Plans for a disposal plant
south and east of the center
of Maydelle, between the ab-
andoned railroad line and
Burgham creek are being
made by George J. Schaum-
berger, Beaumont engineer.
The system would be built
In four stages with the first
stage costing approximately
$80,000. Before the appli-
cation can be completed, a
minimum of 50 people are
needed to sign up. This sys-
tem would have capabilitiesi
of serving about 500 people.
It Is hoped that the sewer
charge will not be more than
$5,00 per month, the same
rate now charged for the water
supply, commented Bailey.

Lion \NJinford Black passing
out cards to get advertising
for our big Lions Club Rodeo.
But the thing to do is to work
the cards today and get it
over with. This is a "really
big deal" for us.
Lion Frank Howell was pro-
gram chairman and presen-
ted the Hon. Wilson W. Mc-
Vicker, County Attorney for
Cherokee County as our
speaker. Mr. McVlcker spoke
of the proposed criminal code
that has been introduced into
the Legislature and urged
that the members be written
to defeat this bill. He stated
that under this bill it would
be hard to convict a person
for anything. For a 1st degree
felony the minimum would be
1 year in the penitentiary. For
murder or rape the penality
coule be $1.00 fine. Robbery
would be maximum of 12 yrs.
Statutory Rape changed to
Rape of child under 16, pres-
ently the age is 18. Most of
the sex crimes would be social
problems instead of a crime.
Misdemeanors may be a fine
instead of a jail sentence.
Theft of property under $50.00
would be held in corporate
or city court with no jail
sentence. Criminals would
be up for parole much soon-
er than they are now. The
criminal could be free on bond
as long as case is on appeal
which would really slow
down the court system. The
Court of Criminal Appeals
may review sentences and
make changes as they see fit.
Sale of hard narcotics sen-
tence reduced from 12 years
to 6 years if defendant did
not profit from crime. De-
feat this bill-so says our
County Attorney. A very
interesting talk and we were
happy to have him visit with
us.

attorney asked a witness how
