Armstrong Co.
Harvest Near?
Completion
Thursday afternoon the harvest
In Armstrong County was estimated
to te 90 per cent finished and that
with pretty weather the end of the
week would see little wheat left
uncut In the county.
There Is over a half million bush-
els stored in the elevators and In
graineries on the farms according
to popular estimates made by ob-
servers here Thursday.
154 cars or 231.000 bu. have been
shipped by rail from Claude with
approximately 500,000 bushels still
on the ground. It Is unknown how
many bushels have been trucked
out and hauled to other railroads
for shipment. The farmers in the
Panhandle are pretty sore about
the way other railroads have tak-
en charge of cars while in their
possession for unloading and sent
them to other parts for use, leaving
the Panhandle in great need during
one of our biggest wheat harvests
and it is hoped that this can be
avoided another year by some way
or another. Here's hoping this will
not happen again and we will have
another big harvest to find out.
i It is reported that Ft. Worth &
1 Denver officials have been pull-
! lng their hair over the car situa-
tion and it seems the shortage is
I caused by other railroads holding
| these cars for use in the nothern
I part of the country and refusing
to return them for harvest time.
TEST FOR TERRACES
Heavy May rains, measuring up
to 9 inches in some sections, pro-
vided a real test for new terraces
built by West Texas farmers.
Most of the terraces stood the
water well. In Coke County. J. R.
Emmons, county agricultural agent,
reports that a few lessons were
learned when poorly built terraces
broke under the heavy rainfall.
Of the terraces built with the
county rig in cooperation with the
Soil Conservation Service, only two
gave way, and one of them was on
a farm where the terracing system
had not been completed.
Shelton Hainey, Flemont farmer,
has a "syrup pan" system that
catches water from about 700 acres,
after the rains, Hainey told Coun-
ty Agent Emmons that the terraces
held perfectly; each lister ridge
was full of water. He ligures that
the rainfall he saved with his
terraces will make a lot of dif-
ference in July when the weather
turns hot and dry.
• Miss Roxie Keeter, Groom girl
sponsor, was seen riding her pal-
| omino pony, 'Cactus', in Amarillo's
14th of July parade. She also rode

Veterans Questions. .
Q. What is meant by a guaranty
of loan under the G. I. Bill?
A. Tlie guaranty of a loan by
Veterans Administration under the
provisions of the Servicemen's Re-
adjustment Act (G.I. Bill) is an
agreement between a lender of
money and VA that in event a
veteran fails to pay his loan, the
Government will pay the guaran-
teed portion of the loan.
Q If I can't meet payments on
my guaranteed loan, is payment by
the Government a gift to me?
A No, payment by the Govern-
ment of your guaranteed loan is
not a gift. It must be repaid, and
if the Government pays the guar-
anteed part of the loan to the len-
der, you are obligated to the Gov-
ernment for that part of the loan.
Q. I have a lender who will lend
me the money I need, but he
j wants additional security. Does the
law allow him to ask for security?
j A. Yes. This is a matter between
you and the lender. While Veter-
[ ans Administration does not re-
| quire that additional security be
| given, it does not object if the
veteran is wiling to give it.
Q. I am a widow of a World War
II veteran and want to buy a
home. Can I obtain a guaranty of
loan?
A. No. The privilege is limited
to veterans of World War II.
Q Can I obtain a guaranteed
loan to purchase household fur-
nishings?
A. No.
NEW DAY COMING
If you should care to know what
the state of the nation will be
about twenty-five years hence, ex-
perts are willing to tell you. The
fee is not large You pay $3 for
Cycles, by Edward R. Dewey and
Edwin F. Dakin. Dewey is director
of the Foundation for the Study
of Cycles. Dakin is a member of
the staff of Hill and Knowlton,
public relations counsel.
In their book they have assembl-
ed what noted scientists have dis-
covered about cyclic activity. The
longest of these cycles stretches
over a period of 54 years. In this
period human activity increases
during the first half, and slows
down during the second half. Just
now the cycle Is receeding to its
low which will be reached around
1952. From then until 1978 we
should be enjoying the kind of
expansion that occurred in the
peciods following 1790, 1845, and

"If past rhythmic patterns re-
peat themselves,'' say the writers,
"we may look forward to that ec-
onomic time as farmers look for-
ward to spring after a long winter
—a spring when seeds long quiet in
the ground should be hooting up
almost miraculously, with a new
spirit of enterprise revealing it-
self everywhere.
"Just as millions saw electricity
and the motor completely trans-
form our environment and ways
of living following 1898. those who
live into the third quarter of our
century may well see the growth
of new forces just as dramatic.
Impelling, and universal In their
effect—forces of which atomic ener-
gy may be only one."
Meanwhile, watch your step.
