Reflections From
The Farmstead
By W. O. Finch
Reviewing foreign farm papers we
observe this:
A Mexican editor thinks that by
the time Gone With The Wind pass-
ed South of the Border it would also
be down to two hours and two bits.
Irish and Australian English print
farm magazines have ads on the
front page instead of fancy blonds.
Irish farmers have deferred their
regular annual spring farmhouse
dance until the full moon in April be-
cause of the black-out.
Country butter is called farmhouse
butter in Ireland.
Several Irish farmers were de-
fendants in Petty Sessions Court
(Comparable to our J. P. Court) on
charges of driving animals in public
roads without lights; They pleaded
the current war Black-out law and
were acquitted, but were warned that
the Black-out statute was not bind-
ing on dumb animals.
Speaking of dumb animals—An Ir-
ish bachelor^ in proposing marriage
said, "Maggie don't you think it's
time to get married?" Maggie re-
plied, "Yes, but I don't know of any-
one that would have me."
Farmers are complaining in Eng-
land about all the red tape of filling
out government forms. Rumors like
that have been heard on this side of
the Pond.
Farm labor wages have been fixed
by the Government in Great Britain.
Farmers who fail to cultivate all
their land designated for cultivation
by the government in Britain are
subject to criminal prosecution.
Wouldn't a law like that get a lot
of us over here?
An annual Irish bank statement
shows 8 million dollars operating
capital, 80 million dollars on deposit,
one-half million dollars paid in divi-
dends and 42 million dollars loaned
out. That's no dime bank either.
Seed oats cost $4.25 per hundred
pound in Ireland and seed potatoes
$6.00 per hundred pounds.

ing in every subject in which a young

ly helpful in sports. I made our

Many fampua athletes in all sports

CANCER CONTROL MONTH
There is still too much "behind
closed doors talk" about cancer. Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer
declared today in urging Texans to
make the most of educational oppor-
tunities which will be offered during
April, proclaimed by Governor W.
Lee O'Daniel as Cancer Control
Month.
"We cannot fight cancer success-
fully by hiding from it. On the other
hand, by overcoming fear and lack
of knowledge, the campaign against
this disease will be half won," Dr.
Cox said.
Reliance upon lightning warfare
will not defeat cancer. It is only a
relentless crusade carried on over a
period of years that will succeed in
wearing down the death rate from
this disease. Such a crusade requires
more courage and widespread know-
ledge than our people possess at this
time.
Vital statistics records of the
State Health Department show that
cancer mortality is steadily increas-
ing. Statistics for the past half-de-
cade, 1933 through 1938, record an
upswing in the cancer death rate
froni 64.5 per hundred thousand in
1933, to 66.3 in 1934, to 68.5 in 1936,
to 73.6 in 1936, to 72.8 in 1937, to a
high of 74,4 in 1038. Texas cancer
death total in 1938 was 4593 as com-
pared with 3868 in 1933. Whether or
not this increase in cancer mortal-
ity will qontinue depends upon the
effqrt every man woman and child
will put forth to learn mpre about
cancer, its symptoms and its cure.
Free educational literature on can-
cer may be obtained by writing the

drive in Texas during the month of
April.
