LINCOLN A NICE MAN

One thing I’ve noticed about
politics is that no man is as bad
as the opposition says he is and
no man is as good as his friends
claim he is. Abe Lincoln had to
be dead nearly a hundred years
before people decided he was a
pretty nice sort of fellow—Thom-

Given our choice of good wishes for our

manifest every day of the year. It is,that time
when the whole world is kin, when petty dif-

bound together in a closer relationship, when
worries are left behind and the future looks
more cheerful than ever before. .

After May 17 You Began Working for
Yourself to Earn a Living in 1954
By DICK WEST . i

A release that on May 17 is the
first day of 1954 on which you
can call a dollar your own.
Since Jan. 1 vou have been |
working for government—local. ‘
state and national. The average
mtn pays 37c of every dollar in
taxes. That means he has work-
ed four and a half months—thru
May 16—to support government. ‘
May 17 has been designated Na-
tional Tax Freedom Holiday. Sev-
eral cities have parades arid fire-
works.
Dallas L. .Hostetler, Florida
trade association executive, orig-
inated the idea. He wanted some
way to dramatize the cost. He
proves, for instance, that you pav
more in taxes than you do’ for
food.

CONSERVAT’N PLANS APPROVED
The board of supervisors of the
■ Red River County Soil Conserva-
tion District in a recent meeting,
approved eleven more farmer-
district agreements or conserva-
tion plans. These eleVen plans
covered 1,436 acres. This makes
a total of 195 conservation plans
approved by the board this year
Jon 34,181 acres.
James D. Jones, secretary of
the board, said at this meeting
that the equipment custodians re-
port considerable use of the dis-
trict owned equipment. The cus-
todians turned in $774.60 rental
on the use of the equipment for
the montl} of November. With
custodian fees for looking after
the equipment and repairs to the
machinery coming to $350.94 for
November, the net operating pro-
fit for the district during the
month was $423.66. The board
expressed an opinion that they
left the equipment owned by the
district, and bought with money
appropriated by the state for
equipment, was helping get more
conservation practices establish-
ed.
j They further stated that land-
owners using the equipment
should realize that the machinery
belont'S to all the people of the
district, and that it does not be-
long to the state or federal gov-
ernment. The custodians are only
looking after the equipment and
renting it .for a nominal charge
set by the supervisors. Landown-
ers rvntipg the equipment want
it in good shape when they get
it but a few have been accused
of abusing the machines by im-
properly using them, breaking
pieces and by not keeping the
machines greased.
The board of Supervisors have
stated that as long as the equip-
ment is properly used and con-
tinues to make enough profit to
cover its depreciation then the
district will keep it in operation.
If it is misused and the profits
are not sufficient to cover depre-
ciation then they will recommend
the equipment be sold. Landown-
ers having a need for the ma-
chinery should use it wisely so
they might keep it in the district. '

Dr. Weed cited an experiment
conducted a few years ago by a
group of medical researchers who
immobilized four healthy young
men for periods of six to seven
weeks.
Numerous undesirable physio-
logical changed took place in the
patients. Dr. Weed said. These
included a decline in total blood
volume, a deterioration of me-
chanisms for maintaining ader
qiiate circulation while standing
erect and regressive personality
changes. The doctor concluded:
“It is as illogical to advise in-
activity without good reason as
it is to prescribe penicillin for
every infection.”

As a further warning the board
states that many of the soil con-
servation districts have already
gotten rid of the equipment be-
cause it was not used properly
and failed to show a reasonable
profit.
The establishment of conserva-
tion practices, especially field
terraces and farm ponds, con-
tinues as fair weather favored
their establishment. yOn terrace
construction the following land-
owners have completed terraces
on their farms: Taylor McCoy,
Dick Scqtt, Claude Lewis and
Jack Franklin.
Farm ponds for additional
livestock water have recently
been completed bri the G. C.
Shoemake, Dewey Trimm, C. D.
Lennox, Jr., Bruton Williams and
Moody Hale farms. Additional
farm ponds have been staked for
construction on the Clyde Mit-
chell, Earl Legate, Chapman and
Jim Hoffman farms.
Many of the farm ponds were
constructed to provide stockwater
in new pastures created by cross
fencing. This provides better
utilization of the grazing pro-
duced by rotation grazing.
Will Tucker, Rosalie dairyman,
stated recently that he obtained a
big increase in total forage pro-
duced on his farm this year as a
result of his cross fencing and
grazing rotation this year. Thru
the operation of his grazing plan
he allowed at least a month be-
tween grazing periods during the
year. By confining the cattle to
smaller areas for a controlled
period the cattle ate down all the
plants, the less desirable ones
along with the choice forage. The
rest period allowed the plants to
recover and regain their maxi-
mum vigor, thereby producing
more total forage than would
have been possible if the choice
plants on the entire acreage had
been grazed continuously during
the entire grazing season.
Cross fencing and rotation
grazing is also a practical man-
agement plan that should be us-
ed in utilizing the winter pasture
crops. Continuous heavy grazing
will seriously reduce the total
forage produced from the crops.
