FARMING TODAY
With JOHNNY McKAY
County Agent
oiver
Are law and order being thrown out the win-
dow? Are they old-fashioned? The answer
to bech these questions should be no.
For 115 years, Texas has strived to give its
young the kind of education that includes much
more than just "book learning." Atid, because
this "something more" is so important. Ma-
sonic Lodges across the sute banded together
to Implement the promotion of our fxib-
lic schools. But, they need help. Your help!
Only through you can the schools begin to
teach our youngsters that authority and law
and order are not necessarily synonymous with
tyranny and dictatorship, but that only threwgh
education do they not become these things.
Law and order is a way of life, n good way
of life, because all living things are born out
of and live out their life patterns in an order.
Let us educate our children to the facts that
they are responsible for the kind of future
they and their families will enjoy. Let us
help them to understand the importance that
books, classrooms, and study hold for them.
Let us appreciate and support our pub-
lic schools in Texas.
But don't support and appreciate them sil-
ently. Speak out. Visit a public school in
your community March 3rd through 7th. It
will be a rewarding expeience for you, and
a living example for your child.
Keep law and order in the hands, hearts and
minds of our children. Support your public
schools so they can support you.
An editorial in The Christian science Mon-
itor comments on a contemporary form of
oppression that has no place in the United
States. It says, "The Supreme Court has
agreed to decide whether a labor nnlnn has
the power to fine members for (what the
union considers) overproduction on the job.
What an amazing--and saddening—commen-
tary on affairs today I In a land which, per-
haps more than than any other on the face of
the earth, has always prided itself upon hard
work, and upon what hard work can accom-
plish, how chilling it is to find that there are
those who believe they have the right to re-
Work Or Starve
quire laziness and time-wasting."
Anyone who feels a deliberate slowdown on
the job is irrelevant to today's soaring pri-
ces should be interested in a brief item from
the publication Steel hacts whicn reports;
"Hourly employment costs for production and
maintenance employees in this country's steel
industry during the past two decades have
been rising more than three times as rapidly
an output per man-hour of all employees."
Machines have done mucli to offset the grow-
ing laziness of people. But there Is a limit
beyond which a fundamental law of nauremust
take over--work or starve.
How About Us?
It was thirty years ago this year that Uncle
Sfm very confidently set a price tag on kids.
Uncle said $60Q and since 1939 that has been
the figure established by the Internal Revenue
Code. That is what the government allows us
. for each dependent child, as a deduction on our
income tax.
Now there appears in the press a report that
welfare recipients are campaigning for a mim-
imum annual handout of at Least $4,000. That
the dole-takers say. Is the rock bottom in-
come which would insure their dignity and re-
lief from harassment.
Might that be a proper new deduction for a
man and wife filing a joint federal income
tax return?
There are across this land several million
man and wife taxpayers who were not yet born
in 1939. Yet they are feeding, clothing and
educating children under that ridiculous and
antiquated $600 deduction per dependent. When
Uncle Sam looked at the problem of establishing
dependency "allowances" within programs
more modem than the income tax he chose to
be Infinitely more generous.
We are allowed $50 a month deduction for
each of our kids. But the Aid to Dependent
Children program subscrives upwards of $800
a year for the upkeep of an illegitimate child.
Refugees from Cuba are allowed a minimum of
$1,200 a year, and generous Uncle budgets an
additional $1,00 a year ofr each Cuban refugee
child enrolled in school.
Job Corps personnel have been costing the
government upwards at $7,000 a year. The
most recent figures we fir.d for the Vista pro-
gram (Volunteers in Service of America) in-
dicates that more than $15,000 a year per
trainee was provided. Surely there are a few
million parents who would like to have that
sum available to finance college expenses for
their offspring.
Still, come April 15, the man from Uncle will
insist that the $600 deduction is the law of the
land, nnd if you suggest that the cost of food,
shoes, doctor bills, church and school
activities have risen somewhat since 1939,
you'll prompt a condescending smile.
Congressmen gratefull accepted an 88 per-
cent increase in salary over the last five years.
We poor taxpayers haven't has an increase
in the standard deduction in 30years, How about
JS?

Only electric built-ins allow
you such versatility when
designing a kitchen. An
electric surface cooking unit
can be placed on an island,
peninsula, In a counter top —
anywhere you wish. No piping
to restrict its location You
can have one electric wall
oven or two — whorovur they
best serve your needs.
Exceptionally well insulated,
they allow your kitchen to
remain cooler. So for the
exact kitchen arrangement
you prefer — get electric
built-ins economical to
operate with low-cost
electricity from SESCO.
The pasture shortcour.se in
Cherokee County last week
had an average of about 40 in
attendance each night,
management specialist from
Overton, discussed the eco-
nomics of pasture and hay
production Monday night. He
pointed out the high cost of
improving pasture to carry
one cow per acre or acre and
a half but also showed why it
is economical on the high pri-
ced land we have today. He
also emphasized the im-
portance of starting improve-
ment where you have most to
workwith in soil and plant po-
tential. George /vlson, ex-
tension agronomist from Ov-
erton, spoke Tuesday night.
He emphasized the impor-
tance of selecting the variety
of grass that will give the
highest yield on a given piece
of land for money invested. He
also pointed out the itn-
tance of grazing grass short
enough to take advantage of
young high quality forage. For
example coastal hermuda yie-
lded the most nutrients per
acre when clipped back toiwo
inches in heigiu each time ir
reached about b inches in
height. In other words most
of our «ras-es need to he gra-
zed close on a rotational ba-
sis to get the most from them.
Dr. Carl Gray, soil chemist
from the Soils Testing Lab at
A&W discussed Primary,
secondary and Micro fertili-
zer elements in forage pro-
duction. He stressed die im-
portance of lime in making
nitrogen, phosphorus and pot-
ash do their best job. He also
emphasized that until you
meet the plants requirement
for these, there is no need to
worry about secondary ele-
ments such as sulfur and mag-
nesium, Then until you
satisfy the plants need for both
the primary and secondary
elements, don't worry about
the micro elements such as
iron, zinc, boron, rnolybedum
etc.
Dr. Fred Thornberry, area
extension poultry specialist
says that the Georgu Agri-
cultural Extension service
has reported data indicating
that broilers reared on pine
bark litter perform as well
as those reared on wood sha
vings or rice hulls. No sig-
nificant differences were
found In feathering or breast

about the same results. Se-
curing shavings has been a
problem to some poultry pro-
ducers and getting rid of
bark has been a problem of
many timber mills. This
work shows promise of help-
ing both. Additional research
and demonstration work is In
progress to learn more about
the possibilities of bark for
poultry litter purposes.
We've had a few questions
about the availability of high
lysine co: t lately. Lysine is
one of the essential amino
acids needed in the feed by
swine and poultry. Lysine is
a part of die protein required
in the feed by these livestock.
Lysine does not have to be in
the protein source feed to
cattle because the bacteria in
the rumen can synthesize it.
Ben Spears, extension ¿vgro-
nomist from Texas A&Msays
that no hybrids with high ly
sine content have been re-
leased for commercial pro-
duction in the Southern and
Southwestern United Mates. It
is reported that some have
been released in the Corn
Belt Area.
Dr. Fred Thornberry, area
poultry specialist from Over-
ton says high ly sine gram will
probably have little effect on
the feed industry during the
next several years because it
yields 5 to 15 percent less
then current varieties, has
higher mositure and poorer
drying qualities, has poorer
storage qualities and must be
grown away from other corn
varieties.

ed license to marry this past

County Clerk Mildred Ful

Those couples were Wayinon

the Oval. All of these can be
varied, tilted or changed in
many ways.
However. «II arrangement* of

Ye Old President Ray Ken-
dall was back in charge last
Thursday and we had as guest
the President of the Jackson-
ville Club, Lion John Lester.
1 Ion Morris Elliott passed out
tickets to be sold on the Lions
Kiwanis Basketball game in
the very near future, /\lso the
Rusk Lions will meet with the
Kiwanis on the 19th, Of March
at the Plneview Restaurant,
Lion Henry Westbrook
brought a film as our program
entitled "Come On Up". It
was furnished by Mr. Her-
schel Kyle, manager of the
Cherokee County Airport and
was made by the Cessna air-
craft Co. It could just be tiiat
Herschel is their representa-
tive, we don't know. Butifyou
want a airplane would bet that
he could supply you with one.
1 ion Glen Miller stated that he
had no desire to rise into the
air and it was also noted that
several are Hying now, along
with Lion Morris Hlliott. At-
tention Lioness ¡--Want to
know how to kill your Lion
husband -and get away with
it ? Don't bother with cyanide,
blunt instruments or revol-
vers--just feed him a steady
diet of rich pastries and hea-
vy starches until he is at
least 15 to 25 per cent over-
weight! Then sit back and
think what a good-looking wi-
dow you'll make--because it
won't be long now. According
to the experts, between 7Ü
and 80 percent more men than
women die in their early fif-
ties, so says Mrs. Dale Car-
negie. The Kiwanis Live-
stock show is just around the
corner - make your plans now
to attend. Honeysuckle Mae,
the town beauty, had just shot
her wealthy old husband, and
though there was nodoubt that
she was guilty, the all. male
jury was loathe to convict tier
of murder. Desperately, the
forman asked the judge if the
deceased had belonged to any
well-known clubs. "I don't
know what that has to do with
the case," frowned his Hon-
or, "But if you must know, he
was a member of the Elks."
That gave the jury their open-
ing. The verdict: A twenty-
five dollar fine for shooting an
elk out of season. St. Pat-
rick's day Is the 17th of
March. It 's a good thing St.
Patrick's Day comes before
April 15th--or we wouldn't
have any green to wave. See

The Church is God s appointed agency in this world
for spreading the knowledge of His love for man and
of His demand for man to respond to that love by
loving his neighbor Without this grounding in the
love of God, no government or society or way of life
will long persevere and the freedoms which we hold
so deor will inevitably perish Therefore, even from
a selfish point of view, one should support the Church
for the soke of the welfare of himself and his family
Beyond that, however, every person should uphold
and participate in the Church because it tells the truth
about inon's life, death and destiny, the truth which
alone will set him free to live as a child of God
