WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES
Farley & Hill Grocery & Market
East Side Of Square LEONARD, TEXAS
munists are sending into U. S.
huge quantity of pork products.
♦ ♦ *
The Commerce Dept, also re-
ports that in 1958 the U. S. ex-
ports of food and farm products
to all of Europe declined sub-
stantially. This, in the language
of the department, “reflected a
slowdown in government surplus
disposal financing.”
♦ * *
Yet in the same year, the re-
port notes, despite the decline in
coffee shipments and prices, the
imports of foodstuffs into this
country, principally in the form
of cattle, meat products and veg-
etables, increased by 6%.
* * *
Thus, the whole American
farm program, which cost in ex-
cess of $4.5 billion in 1958, gets
curioser and curioser.
* * ♦
While it is obvious that it is
to the American interest to keep
the farms in a healthy shape,
the question is “whose farms;
family sized American farms or
communism’s collective farms?”
* ♦ ♦
Or as one wit puts it, “The
most carefully laid plans of
men, mice and the Secretary of
Agriculture can be set awry by
the State Dept.”
♦ * ♦
As long as the U. S. policy is
to let foodstuffs come in from
abroad, and especially commun-
ist countries, In direct competi-
tion with American farm prod-
ucts, on which there are surplus-
es, the solution of the problem
seems hopeless.
♦ ♦ ♦
Neither is it policy for two
cabinet posts in a government
to publicly battle each other.
* * *
But it would be interesting to
see what could happen if one
part/ controlled the Agriculture
Dept, and the other State Dept.
It would be mighty interesting.
There appears to be shaping
up in Congress quite a hassle
over Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Benson.
* * *
The arguments pro and con
are quite technical, and a full
discussion of them would better
appear elsewhere.

That
is som
like this.
Can any Sec-
retary of Agri-
culture do the .......
proper job as cTvA^Harder™
long as the U. S. State Dept, is
allowed to run rampant?
♦ * *
Most of Benson’s antagonists
are from the midwest where
corn and hogs are the big crops.
* ♦ ♦
Now the Dept, of Commerce
reports that due to export- im-
port licenses controlled by the
State Dept, in the third quarter
of last year, exports to Soviet
Russia and the nations behind
the Iron Curtain more than
doubled in value with $12.9 mil-
lion shipped into them, mostly in
cold rolled sheet steel and steel
mill equipment to Russia.
* ♦ *
But imports from Russia and
the Iron Curtain nations into the
U. S. during the first six months
of the year were more than
double this, totalling $29 mil-
lion, of which practically half
was in the form of canned cooked
hams and other pork products.

Now, at a time when the tax-
payers are paying out money to
support the price of corn, the
principal feed for hogs, the com-

What you should
know about
iOMO
WHEN is the “polio season"?
While the highest incidence oc-
curs during the summer months,
paralytic polio strikes during
every month of the year. An epi-
demic may break out at any time,
anywhere.
WHAT is required for maxi-
mum protection against paralytic
polio? Three injections of Salk
anti-polio vaccine. The first two
given 2 to 6 weeks apart. The
third, 7 to 10 months later. Re-
cords covering millions of cases
prove that the vaccine is safe
and effective.
WHO should be immunized
with anti-polio vaccine? Although
it is most important for children,
young adults, expectant mothers
and parents of young children to
be immunized, all individuals
through age 40 should take ad-
vantage of the protection afforded
by anti-polio vaccine. Nearly one-
fourth of all paralytic polio vic-
tims are adults and it is adults
whom paralytic polio hits hardest.
BECAUSE we, as pharma-
cists, share your doctor’s interest
in preventive medicine, we urge
you to call him TODAY to arrange
for the polio immunization of
your family and yourself.
