about driving a car 10 years old,
and how many new cars would
get sold?
But what does a farmer do?
He goes right on raising the
same style ‘ wheat or rice or
corn or potatoes or beans he's
been raising for generations.
A bushel of wheat today looks
exactly like a bushel of wheat
when Pharaoh farmed the Nile
and rested in the shade of a
pyramid. A man with a ware-
house full of 1952 cotton has
the same style cotton the cot-
ton farmes will flood the mar-
ket with this year.

son grass farm has a new idea
for’ the farm surplus problem,
but outside of saying it’s new.
that’s about all you can say for
it.
Dear editar:
Now that the Soil Bank has
about gone busted, at least I
read in a paper last night that
Congress has decided it should
close up after this year and be
written off as a failure, and
now that Sec Benson has de-
clared that it is virtually im-
possible to control farm pro-
duction. and now that the
drouth is over in many sections
of the country and a bumper
crop is in prospect, the prob-
lem of a farm once more is
coming to the front and the
door is now open for new ideas
on its solution. J
According to Mr. Benson, a
“technological explosion" has
taken place on the farm due tp
machinery, and the production

“Light the Lamps in Lampa-
sas Again" is the watch word
of the American Red Cross as
it mows into rehabilitation
phases, of the disasteroperation
in the flood wrecked town of
Lampasas, Texas. The Red
Cross in a conservative esti-
mate announces that it will cost
over a quarter of a million dol-
lars to assist the flood victims
in this community.
The Red Cross is asking the
people of Texas and of the Na-
tion to assist in this neighbor
helping effort. Contributions
may be made to local Red Cross
qhaptersor they may be mailed
direct to the Lampasas Coupty
Chapter, American Red Cross.
Lampasas, Texas.
The Red Cross has expended
or committed three quarters of
a million dollars in Texas dur-
ing the months of April and
May. The American people ap-
preciate the disaster service of
the Red Cross, the funds it has
to expend in this work come
only form voluntary contribu-
tions of the people want it to
be done, the whole hearted sup
por of the people will be neces-
sary.
Damages in Lampasas:
38 homes destroyed
46 homes major damage
226 homes minor damage
5 business bldgs, destroyed
40 major damage (business
41 business minor damage
1 church destroyed
1 school major damage
1 hotel major damage
makes the problem of surpluses
worse than ever.
Now while it may be true
production per worker has
doubled in the last 15 years,
on the average. I'd like to point
out in passing that this is no
average farm out here, and if
my production is any better
now than it was 15 years ago
I can’t tell it.
But as for the solution to
the farm surplus problem, I
hate to see Mr. Benson give up,
and would like to offer an idea.
The trouble with us farmers
is, we aren’t style conscious.
How far would the car manu-
facturers get if they brought
out the same model cars year
after year? The inside of the
engine doesn't have to be any
different, it still uses gas, oil
and water, but if the wind-
i shield and the back fenders and
the height of the top weren’t
changed from year to year, no.
