Fall Is Time To
Prepare Seedhetls
Lloyd Keyser of McKinney
says that a good firm seedbed
is '' vkey step in establishing
a /d of bermudagrass.
Keyser now lias a good cover
of Coastal bermudagrass on a
pasture that was sprigged this
spring.
Morrison Liston, District
Conservationist with the Soil
Conservation Service in Mc-
Kinney, points out that the fall
months are the months to
begin seedbed preparation for
bermuda sprigging. The
winter rains can then help melt
any clods and settle out air
pockets left from plowing.
Fall seedbed preparation paid
off for Coyte Ashley of Anna
this past spring. He got an
excellent stand of Coastal off
to an early start on four
waterways on the Earl
Slaughter Estate.'

Texans Concerned About
Government-Inflation
Lloyd Bentsen, ,U.S. State
Senator, wrote the following
recently;
A recent survey which I
commissioned reveals that the
two most important issues of
concern to Texans today
involve the honesty, respon-
siveness and effectiveress of
government, and the cost ,<^f
living. J
Other problems disturbing
citizens of our State are the
environment, the energy
crisis, taxes, drug abuse,
crime and welfare.
But confidence in government
and inflation far overshadow
all other issues at this time.
The mood of Texans seems to
be one of mistrust and
discontent, not unlike the
mood of all Americans.
Concern about government
has risen sharply and is now
seen as the most serious
problem facing the United
States, where 17 months ago it
was considered only the fourth
most important issue.
The hard fact is that many
people believe government
has lost its capacity for action.
Of the great issues before us,
none is more compelling than
the issue of public confidence.
It is easy to point the finger of
blame at Watergate. And this
is probably the number one
reason for the continuing loss
of faith in politics. But
Watergate and its related sins
are not the only culprits. They
'were merely the climax of
what the public most assuredly
believes to be a steady slide
into the swamps of unhealth>
politics.
Who is to blame, then?
I am always wary of assessing
mass guilt for the acts of a few.
Yet il is my inescapable
conclusion that all of us in
responsible political positions
must share at least part of the
blame--because our natural
inclination is to recognize a
problem only when it hits us,
in the face, and to close the
barn door only after the horse
is gone.
Sometimes we have not
exercised our powers and
responsibilities as wisely as we
could have. Sometimes we
have dilly-dallied in the face of
urgent need. Sometimes we
have looked the other way to
avoid a controversy or an
unpleasant task.
As Texans, you have reason to
wonder what is going on when
inflation destroys your wages
and takes food from your
table.
You have reason to wonder
when you can't get mortgage
money, and when you pay
exorbitant interest rates when
you are forced to borrow, just
to make ends meet.
You have reason to wonder
why some of your elected
leaders talk about tax
increases when the cost of
living already has you
strapped.
You have reason to wonder
why your affluent and
all-powerful nation has not
developed enough energy
sources to meet its needs.
In many respects, it is amazing
that the people have not lost
more faith than they have--
because some of the happen
ings of the past few years have
raised serious questions about
the effectiveness of represent-
ative government.
1 believe you have not lost faith
because you basically believe
that in the long run in spite of
the shortcomings of some of
our leadership, the system will
prevail. You know the
difference between good
government and bad politics.
You know that leadership has
its limitations, and that the
destiny of democracy is
somewhere in between the
demands for instant solutions
and the counter-demands for
caution and resistance to
change.
I have been listening through
countless personal conversa-
tions with Texans, and reading
thousands of their letters, in
an effort to determine what the
people are trying to say. And I
think the message is simple:
you want us to get on with the
important issues of national
security and national well-
being.
1 have heard no one say he
expects miracles. But I have
heard many calls for action.
No one expects saintliness.
But everyone expects honesty.
No one demands the absence
of politics. But everyone has a
right to expect restraints on
vicious partisanship.
No one thinks government
should do all things for all
people. But all of us demand
that government do its best
and that it do it fairly.
All of these things together are
not too much to ask or expect.
But they arc something that
we in government must get on
with in order to restore faith in
government and to end the
crisis in confidence.

It was an interesting conver-
sation to hear. A young lady of
eighteen was talking with a
learned man. He had asked
her about her career, what line
of training she wanted to
pursue. She said, "Well you
know, sir, I would like to
become a psychologist, but it
requires so much time in
school that I am afraid 1 would
be too old." The wise man sat
in silence for a few moments
and then asked, "Young lady,
how long would it take you to
become a psychologist?" She
said, "Probably seven years."
"How old would you be
than?"1 was the next question.
"I would probably be about
25." Then the man asked,
"How old will you be in seven
years if you don't become a
psychologist?" Of course, her
answer was, "Well, I guess 1
would be about 25."
A provocative thought. How
many people have cheated
themselves? How many have
relinquished their desires and
forfeited their dreams because
the voices of procrastination
and failure whispered negative
thoughts into their ears? This
is where many fall into the trap
of growing old when they are,
in reality, still young. They
grow prematurely old because,
in their early years, they start
planning to grow old. If you
were to drop your left arm to
your side, let it hang limp and
not move a muscle for 6 weeks
it would, of course, wither and
become useless. But, in
contrast, if you chin yourself
twenty times before breakfast
each morning, or lift the bar
bells, your muscles will
become strong and respon-
sive. Our mind is like our
muscles. If we allow it to get
lazy and inactive, then it will
lose its keenness, but if we
exercise it regularly, it too will
become strong and respon-
sive. It was Frank Battger who
said, "The man who keeps
learning stays young. The
greatest thing in life is to keep
the mind young." Henry Ford
put it this way, "The man who
stops learning is old, whether
he be twenty or eighty."
We have but to look around
us , no matter where we may
live, and we can spot evidence
of this great truth. We can see
people young in years, but old
in mind and spirit, simply
because they allowed them-
selves to fall into a mental rut.
They stopped exercising their
minds, they stopped learning.
Look just a little further. Pick
out that vibrant, happy older
man or lady who has lived
more years but is still young in
spirit and comparatively young
in body. Study that person.
You will probably find him, oi
her,to be one who is always
looking for new experiences.
One who is interested in
things, and in people, and in
life. You will probably find hirr
to be a person who is
constantly wanting to learn
He has exercised his mind
This is why youth has blessed
him all these years and will
probably continue.
What we do with our lives
today, what we do to discover
and develop our hidden talents
and abilities now. when wc
don't have to... this will
determine what and where we
will be jw hen the day comes
w hen v e can no longer help
it. This is a part of the self
preparation that is so vital to
those who want to make tht
most of life.
