House Bill No 129 known as
the State Civil Service Bill, at-
tempts to set up a commission

persons seeking Jobs.
Two other bills which are re-
ceiving quite a bit of comment
are the Fair Trade Act and the
Anti-Discrimination Bill. These
bills seek, among other things, to
fix the level of prices on masked
articles, giving the manufacturer
the right to fix the price It
further provides that no handler
of such articles can handle same
without making a certain profit
above handling charges and

Extra Safety
(By a Highway Patrolman!
What is that extra margin of
safety In driving? By making al-
immmmm *■» ♦>*» t— fo other
drivers or the mechanical failure
of your car. you are giving an
extra margin of safety that In all
probability will some day save
you injury from a collision. This
is real insurance against driving
hazards that pays dividends.
After all, we are yet compelled
to use the same roads with poor
drivers, drivers with poor eye-
sight, drunks, morons^ and ir-
responsible drivers of aU ~le*-
crlptkms. *e*
By approaching the summit of
a hill slowly and cautiously you
are more able to avoid colliding
with the driver who pulls over on
the left-hand side of the road
and passes another car on hills
and curves—expect to find him
on your side of the road Just
over the hill or around the durve
because some time you will find
him there Be prepared for him
all the time then you will be
ready wheil he is there
Always expect another car
around a blind corner or inter-
section When approaching an
Intersection controlled by signal
lights and your light shows
green, be prepared for it to turn
red- you know they do just that
at regular intervals. Never fol-
low another car too closely—he
ay stop suddenly You should
be prepared to stop gradually in
order to avoid being hit by
another car behind you and too.
you should allow for that time
when your brakes fail to func-
tion properly
While driving at night be alert
lot that car ahead without a rear
light, especially if you are blind-
ed by approaching headlights. If
you meet a car with only one
headlight allow additional room
to pass because you can't tell
which l.gi.t is out Ail thinking
motorists dim their headlights
when meeting another car It
allow., the oth1 r driver to see the
road better and not crowd you
off into the ditch. When meet-
ing glaring htudllghts try focus-
ing your eyes on the right-hand
side of the road Instead of look-
ing directly a: the bright lights.
Note especially how much better
you can sec Just after passing
the bright lights
Always remember that even
though you were in the right,
and get. killed, you had Just as
well have been in the wrong as
far as you are concerned—the
results to you are the same re-
gardless of who wn to blame.
Expect the ether fellow to drive
wrong but don't do it yourself
you'll live longer

PLANTING LIVESTOCK PROFITS
By T. C. RICHARDSON, Secretary
Breeder-Feeder Association
Improved permanent pastures
are of course the key to perma-
nent success in livestock. More
than is generally realized this is
Just as true of hogs and poultry
• including turkeys 1 as it 1s of
dairy cattle, sheep or beef cattle
Anything that can be done this
spring, therefore, which will
make the permanent pasture
better either next summer or a
year from now ts a step jn the
light direction. There iajj|7still
time to eow lespedeza, sod ber-
muda gra.ss. and run contour fur
rows to hold the rainfall on the
pastures.
Temporary pastures, such as
sudan grass, are equally impor-
tant The permanent pasture
sometimes runs short in the
summer drouth and it always
needs an occasional rest so that
the gra.ss and clovers can mature
seed, fill In the sparse spots, and
maintain such a dense sod that
weeds are held down. An over-
grazed pasture usually soon be-
comes a weedy pasture, and the
mower must be brought into play
to control them
Not only to hup improve the
permanent pasture but of more
immediate moment, i, the need
of temporary summer pastures to
keep an ample supply of green
grazing for all toe livestock and
poultry on the f rtn A compa-

western jiortion of Texas
ucce.v.ful farm-
s' or soy beans
urn livi stock in
the
and
Oklahoma the b st practice is to
plant the corn or grain sorghums
"two rows and skip one" with the
beans or peas planted in the va-
cant, row Farther ea-^t there is
usually enough summer rainfall
to support both crops in the same
row. but on thin land alternate
rows of corn and peas or soy
b«MM lA-jnore generally the prac
tic«. ftk point is to use some
le^HMicfop, according to its best
adtptatldc. because legumes are
needed in • good ration, and they
add to the productive value of
the carbonaceous feeds, either
grain or forage
There remains the one sure-
shot. twelve-month, source of
succulent feed- the silo Of all
the "pastures." permanent or
temporary, It is the only one
which neither drouth nor water-
spout. fire nor flood, heat nor
cold, affects It can lie used any
day in the year when needed, or
it can be left Indefinitely with-
out deterioration Many thou-
sands of farmers in the South-
west. have already proven the
trench silo as a *heap and effi-
cient method of storing feed as
an Insurance against .shortages.
Many more thousands will
spring plant for the silo,
those who do not will go on tak-
ing the risks of weather and fire
What shall we plant? What-
ever will grow best on your farm!
Grain or sweet sorghums usually
make the heavier yields in the
Southwest, and where they
"head out" well are equally as
good, ton for ton, as corn. Corn
and soy beans make an ideal sil-
age, but It takes good land and
ample rainfall to produce a good
crop where they are drilled to-
gether in the row A good many
farmers like popcorn as a silage
crop, planted thickly. Plant what
ever you think best on your
farm, but plant silage of some
sort!
It Is pretty hard for a South
western farmer to ensile a corn
crop which is making a good
yield of grain Those who know
Its value by experience do not
hesitate to put a 40-bushel corn
crop in the silo, as Troy Fenner
FARMERS TO GROW SWEET
SORGHUM ON NEUTRAL
ACRES FOR SILAGE
Under the 1^39 AAA program,
sweet sorghum can be planted on
neutral acres for use as silage.
This ruling which does not apply
to corn and grain sorghums will
be an extra Inducement to farm-
ers and ranchmen to turn to su-
mac and othar sweet sorghums
for their silage crop In 1939
Texas farmers and ranchmen
filled 17,019 trench silos in 1938
This is an increase of 7.536 over
the number in use at the end of
1937
E R ETudaly, Extension Dairy-
man and number one trench
silo apostle predicts that Texas
may see 30,000 trench silos filled
this year as compared with 17,019
filled in 1938 There were only
12 trench silos in Texas In 1932

did last year But Troy had been
feeding silage and knew that
forty bushels of grain in the silo
is worth more than the same
amount of dry grain.
For those whose heart might
fail on a promising coni crop, It
is probably better to plant some-
thing else for silage; but by all
means plant something for the
silo!

snug-fitting heel, and the wldeet

Among her suggestions for
foot hygiene are these: Wear,
stockings that are long enough,
bathe the feet often, cut the '
nails regularly, and gently mes-
sage the feet to shape them Into
an arched structure.
Hot and cold foot bath* and
the use of a stiff brush are also
helpful. Mrs. Barnes urged spe-
cial attention to foot ailments,
and says a doctor should be con-
sulted about all abnormalities.

Soils and Men
"The earth Is the mother of us
all—plants, animals, and men.
The phosporous and calcium of
the earth build our skeletons and
nervous systems Everything
else our bodies need except air
and sun comes from the earth.
"Nature treats the earth kind-
ly Man treats her harshly. He
over-plows the cropland, over-
graze? the pastureland, and over
cuts the timberland. He des-
troys millions of acres complete-
ly He pours fertility year after
year into the cities, which in
turn pour what they do not use
down the sewers into the rivers
and the ocean. The flood prob-

chiefly the result of overplowing,
overgrazing and overcutting of
timber.
"Tills terribly destructive pro-
cess Is excusable In a young civil-
ization. It is not excusable In
the United State In the year 1938.
"We know what can be done
and we are beginning to do It. Aa
Individuals we are beginning to
do the necessary things. As a
nation, we are beginning to do
them. The public Is waking up,
and Just in time. In another 30
years It might have been too late.
"The social lesson of soil waste
Is that no man has the right to
destroy soil even if he does own
it in fee simple The soli requires
a duty of man avhlch we have
been slow to r«ognlze.”—Henry
A. Wallace, from the Foreword to
