BILL DUDLEY - At
G. B. Scull’s Red and White
Odem
Texas
By John C. Whitt, Commisiiontr
The term “Publicity Man” had
a bad ring to the ears of the
average farmer. Nevertheless, no
other segiment of our economy
has had such adverse publicity in
the past two years as our farm
people.
Most farmers would be repelled
by the idea that an “outsider”
should champion his cause with
the people of the nation. A farmer
prides himself on being a rugged
indidualist—the man supporting
the basic structure of our na-
tional economy. He prefers to
make his own way, grow his
crops, care for his land and make
a little money, without outside in-
terference.
But in these days of complex
interdependence of one industry
on another, rugged individualism
is slowing becoming a thing of
the past. The farmer needs some-
one to tell his story to the city
people. He needs someone to ex-
plain that high prices today don’t
necessarily start on the farm. They
are largely the result of increased
cost in transportation, processing
and marketing of farm goods.
Even some of our national farm
leaders have contributed to the
distorted idea that high farm pric-
es are the main factor in the
present high cost of living. What
is the true story?
During the past four years, the
price the farmer has received for
his produce has decreased 24 per-
cent. Yet the cost of foodstuffs
has not decreased in a like
amount. A loaf of bread still
costs the same although wheat
prices have dropped drastically.
This fact is true of most other
commodities which originated on
the land.
City people have been sold the
idea that the farmer is responsi-
ble. They have been told that
high support prices mean burden-
some demands on their salaries
for needed foodstuffs. Yet how
much of this 24 percent drop in
farm prices was pasted on to them
in food dollar savings? About 1-2
of one percent.
The difference came out of the
farmers pocket. He has had to
cut back by one-fourth the amount
of goods and services be needs
to maintain his living standard.
His buying power has suffered

BUT OF THE YEAR!
More beauty! More features! More econ-
omy! More dependability! No wonder
more and more people are demanding
55's newest ... the Serve! Gas Refrig-
erator. Only Servel is motorless . . . costs
far less to operate, far less to maintain.
Only Servel is completely silent. Only
Servel is backed by a 10-year warranty
on its freezing system. And, of course,
only Servel has the automatic ice-maker
. . . the biggest advance in refrigeration
in years. And now a Servel can b#

a similar blow.
This is the story that needs to
told. The farmer isn’t a gouger
of the salared dollar. He is the
victim of bad publicity. The re-
sult has been the end of a guaran-
teed price program for his goods
by the federal government which
once served as a kind of “mini-
mum wage law” for the farm
population.
Early Insect
Control Is Needed
COLLEGE STATION, May —
Texas farmers are urged to get
the jump on costly cotton in-
sects by starting insect control
measures early.
“Cotton starts off faster, fruits
earlier and yields higher when
early season insect control prac-
tices are followed,” Dr. F. M.
Fuller, extension entomologist,
says.
Initial dust or spray treatments
should be made when cotton reach-
es the two to four leaf stage %or
earlier if necessary. Two to four
applications of insecticides usual-
ly will control the season’s first
offender’s—thrips, red spiders, ap-
hids, fleahoppers and over-wintered
boil weevils.
Unless fleahopper and boll wee-
vil infestations remain injurious,
the early season phase of insect
control should be curtailed about
30 days before the bollworm nor-
mally appears. This allows time
for a build up of beneficial in-
sects which also help control boll-
worms.
Sprays are more effective and
economical than dusts on young
cotton, Fuller says.
More information on early sea-
son control is given in the 1955
Guide for Controlling Cotton In-
sects in Texas. This guide lists
each recommended insecticide and
its rate of application. The bulle-
tin, L-218, also contains a detail-
ed program. for late season con-
trol of cotton insects. Available
from local county agents, this
bulletin is free for the asking.
Small Businesses Due
To Save Money
AUSTIN — Amendments to the
Texas Unemployment Compen-
sation Act passed by the 55th
Legislature can save Texas small
business men as much as eight
and a half million dollars.
Governor Allan Shivers, when
signing the legislation, estimated
this sum as the probable dif-
ference between taxes which would
have been paid under a Federal
statute effective January 1, 1956,
and those which will be collected
under state control.
Tht bill was authored by Re-
presentative George Berry of Lub-
bock, sponsored in the Senate by
Senators Wardlaw Lane of Center
and Ottis Lock of Lufkin and fa-
vored by both business and labor
organizations.
Need for the legislation came
with amendment of the federal
unemployment compensation tax
act to include employers of four
or more persons (instead of the
present eight or more) effective
in 1956. This act, however, pro-

vided that states could amend
their unemployment tax laws to
include these four-to-seven employ-
ers and make these new taxpay-
ers eligible for “experience rat-
es”— lower taxes based on each
employer’s record.
Thus the state will collect all
except three-tenths of one per
cent of the new tax (that amount
is turned over to the federal gov-
ernment for administrative expen-
ses.) Under state jurisdiction a
newly covered employer may be-
come eligible for an experience
rate and a low tax potential of
four-tenths of one per cent, includ-
ing the federal administrative por-
tion.
Some 48 per cent of Texas
employers now have this rating.
The statewide average is .75 of
one per cent, one of the lowest
tax rates in the nation.
The Berry-authored legislation
also cut the “experience period”
from Jhree and a half years to
one and a half, making Texas
employers eligible for lower tax
rates two years earlier than un-
der the old law.
Mrs. G. B. Scull acompanied her
daughter, Mrs. Bill Dudley, and
