yPerformer hybrids grow grain and lake a lot of the gamble out of har-
vesting quality sorghum that loads and reloads the truck.
HyPerformer hybrids have an excellent yield record that’s a documented fact.
A record that makes farmers and other seed companies stand up and take
notice.
This year, spread the risk. Plant the combination of HyPerformer hybrids

Fnday afternoon 1 went hog hunt-
ing. taking Peedee and our bulldog.
Bubba. Peedee treed several
squirrels and didn't understand that
season is long past. They have their
babies now to take care of. A big
round was made with no luck but as I
neared my starting place Peedee
started barking. This wasn't his tree
bark. This was a baying bark. Soon
hogs started grunting and the action
was on. Bubba got there before me
and scattereed the hogs. One headed
west while the dogs chased another
south toward the river. The hog
sailed off the bank and swam across.
Dropping to one knee, I waited for
it to reach the top of the bank on the
other side. The dogs had stopped at
the water's edge but when the 30-30
went off Bubba hit the water. True to
tradition the hog headed for the
water on its last run. making a big
splash just as Bubba got there. He
swam up. grabbed one ear. and
headed for the bank. He tned to pull
it up on the bank but could only get it
half way. He tugged and tugged but
could only get it partly out onto the
sloping bank.
Looking upriver 1 saw the other hog
near the edge. Would it also jump
into the river if 1 shot? With the shot
this one fell instantly. There was
nothing I could do with Bubba's hog
without a boat so 1 gutted the second
one and headed for the four wheeler.
While I was gone Bubba swam back
to my side but the hog was no where
in sight, it must have slid back into
the water The one we got was hung
in our pecan tree to chill out over-
night.
Sait 'day morning I skinned it.
loaded some firewood, and went to
the Charleston square John Ed
Nabors made a "pole" to put it on
and we started cooking it whole like
they did in "Home From The Hill."
Several people were sitting around
as I told about the other hog and how
it might still be floating in the cold
water. Don Woodard offered to do
the cooking awhile if I wanted to go
look. Soon my boat and motor were
sliding down the steep bank and the
search was started. Would the hog
be floating? Was the meat still good?
About a hundred yards downriver
from Friday's action there lay the
hog. bobbing against some tree* in
the edge of the water Something
was wrong The way the river curved
the hog should have been hung on
trees closer to where it left the bank.
It appeared Bubba had tned to swim
back across while dragging the hog
and had to let h go near the middle
or drown. I pulled the hog into the
boat and headed back The meat still
smelled fresh since il had been in the
cold water all night We skinned it on
the Charleston square and carried it
whole to put tn a freezer and cook
another day. The one we cooked was
great. Lots of people stopped by to
nibble on it and only bones were left
Y'all come when we cook the other
one soon.
A guy was in a group tingtng
Christmas carols. He sang "Leon.
Leon" The person nest to him said.
"Shut up stupid Turn your book
over." *241

In My Opinion
By Irene Fuente*
We hear complaints every day of
our lives about young teenagers
carrying gun* and killing each other.
Almost every big wig on T V. want to
blame society. I will not disagree
with that, however. I think it's
because society doen't demand that
the parents of those children to be
more responsible for their children.
The parents obviously have failed
those children who take a gun and go
out and kill innocent people.
Neither do guns nor money grow
on trees, so how do these children
get these weapons in the first place?
Why are twelve and thirteen year
old children allowed to roam the
streets in the nights when they
should be home in bed? I may be
wrong but I will believe I'm right
until proven wrong that it's basically
the fault of the parents. When
raising children, in my opinion, you
the parents cannot afford to lose
control from the beginning. If a
parent ever lose* control, they can-
not get it back. There's trouble
ahead once the child takes control.
Parents have the responsibility to
love, teach, share and care for
children and guide them every step
of the way as long as they are at
home.
A parent who have never been in
control cannot decide to take control
of a teenager. If that teenager has
, not been taught to obey rules as a
child, don't expect it to suddenly
start being obedient to laws. It's
easy to bend a twig but you can't
bend an oak tree.
Children who are brought up
knowing somebody cares enough to
put limit* on their activities don't
feel controlled. They feel loved. They
are the well adjusted. They respect
their parents, their rules and will
obey the laws. We must teach them
early that they can’t always have
everything they want. Of course, this
requires explanations and consid-
eration. No child always knows what
is best for them. The are* between
wants and needs is a broad space.
I am not an authority by no means.
I was the fifth child of ten and we
were taught not to talk back early in
life. We were taught to take order
and not to give them. Foul language
was not heard in our house and we
respected our parents and never
questioned the rules. I'm not saying
we were perfect, no way. I am saying
that early training kept all of us out
of trouble as adults. 1 had my share
• of spankings along the way.
