Thinking Process
Requires Effort
And Discipline
Mr. William S. Beinecke,
board chairman of The Sperry
and Hutchinson Company, ex-
pressed some thoughts that
merit repeating. He said, “The
process of thinking requires
discipline and effort . . . This
is indeed a time for cynical
youth — and cynical adults
alike — to forego old labels
and reflect with some comfort
on the mysterious ways in
which man strives relentlessly
to meet the needs of man.”
Mr. Beinecke holds the belief
that “. . . there is some sort of
giant conspiracy at work so or-
dering man’s purpose that he is
driven to perform in ways that
benefit society.” We can see evi-
dence of the truth of this all
around us every day. One of the
best examples of it can be seen
in the functioning of the free
market. No less than the edu-
cator, the doctor or anyone else,
the merchant who fails to ful-
fill the needs or demands of
others soon fails to fulfill his
own needs. By not serving his
customers, he fails to serve him-
self and eventually wakes up to
find himself out of business.
The fact is that the ‘‘golden
rule” is a very practical natural
law of existence. The free mar-
ket, competitive system in this:
country is a product of this
natural law, which more than
any other single factor, is re-
sponsible for the high degree of
material well-being of the
American people.
The cynics and the labelers,
who would scrap this system
by smothering it in a maze of
restrictions on everything from
package sizes to promotion and
advertising, have blinded them-
selves to basic truths. As Mr.
Beinecke observes, ‘‘Every in-
stinct, starting with self-pres-
ervation, is for man to serve
himself. But over the ages he
has surrendered, consciously or
not, to the knowledge that all
the pressures of civilization are
joined in a single requirement:
that if he is to serve himself
best, he must serve others well.”
Greenbug Control
Plan Is Outlined
Methyl parathion, applied by
air in a water carrier, has been
found to give excellent results
in controlling the green bug,
reports the Texas Agricultural
Experiment station, Southwest-
ern Great Plains Research Cen-
ter in Bushland.
In testing the effectiveness of
ultra-low volume and conven-
tional sprays for greenbug con-
trol, Associate Professor Norris
E. Daniels of the Bushland Cen-
ter, recently reported the find-
ings of his research last year.
“Malathion and dimetholate,
applied as ultra-low volume
aerial sprays, were not effective
in greenbug control. Methyl
parathion, applied by air in a
water carrier, gave excellent
control. Dimetholate and mala-
thion, as well as other insecti-
cides, applied as water-emulsion
sprays with ground equipment
gave satisfactory results,” Dan-
iels said.
The greenbug, which has been
damaging Panhandle wheat,
was found susceptible to methyl
parathion, parathion. malathion
and phasphamidan insecticides
applied with conventional meth-
ods, but ultra-low volume ap-
plication was found unsatis-
factory in all instances, he said.
Danger Of Social
Drinker Behind
Wheel Is Tested
The danger of a social drinker
behind the wheel was tested by
a national insurance company
and results proved that you
don’t have to be dead drunk to
be a deadly driver.
The test measured visual
perception, alertness and driv-
ing habits of three volunteers
before and after each had “only
a few” drinks, reported Joy Ar-
rington, Extension specialist in
home management at Texas
A&M University.
Miss Arrington recently re-
turned from a leadership con-
The ultra- low volume appli-
cation gave insufficient cover-
age because the greenbugs were
well protected zy the plant
leaves. The dosage differences
seemed to make no difference in
control, the specialist conclud-
ed.
At present there are no label
clearances for ultra-low volume
application of insecticides for
wheat insect control and pro-
ducers should not apply any in-
secticides to wheat by this
method, he warned.
ference on highway safety at
Michigan State University’s
Highway Traffic Safety Center.
Visual tests told that visual
perception of each driver was
reduced by drinking. Changes
in depth perception varied with
the driver with a distinct deter-
ioration in the oldest subject,
aged 45 years.
The drivers fumbled at the
wheel; seemed unaware of their
incompetence. Each expressed
confidence that he was doing
better during the second driv-
ing test. In each case, he was
wrong, said Miss Arrington who
is advisor to the Texas Home
Demonstration Association safe-
ty committee.
Driver’s performance after
drinking seemed more casual
and one became irritated more
easily. The three volunteers,
two men and one woman, show-
ed slower timing, less awareness
of surrounding traffic and poor
steering techniques.
The blood-alcohol content of
the three was safely within the
law in a majority of states.
The subjects were tested on
a trailer simulating the behind-
the-wheel appearance and op-
eration of an automobile. Traf-
fic events were presented on a
sound film in front of the train-
er for a 15 mile drive in city
and suburban traffic.
For he will give his angels
charge of you to guard you ia
all your ways.

Wherever we are, and what-
ever we are called upon to do,
we are in the protecting care

spirit of good judgment in us,
keeps us alert, and helps us
to cooperate with the laws of

our thoughts. As we know
this truth for ourselves and
others, we contribute to bring-

P&W Accepts
Varner-Hogg
Antiques
Austin—The Texas Parks and
Wildlife Commission recently
accepted a 60-page Inventory of
antiques now in the Varner-
Hogg Plantation State Historic
Park and issued a commenda-
tion to Miss Ima Hogg, daughter
of the late Governor James
Stephen Hogg, who made the
gift.
The commission’s commenda-
tion cited Miss Hogg's gracious-
ness and generosity in providing
the people of Texas with such a
gift of beauty so steeped in Tex-
as history.
The inventory, with approxi-
mately 1,500 items, contains the
period furnishings of the old
plantation manor during the
period of 1835-1860 and is con-
servatively valued at $126,962.
The listing contains furniture in
the hallways, parlor, bedrooms,
bathrooms, varandas and yard
furniture. The collection also
contains a complete dining
room, butler’s pantry, kitchen
and allied equipment as neces-
sary for operating a large plan-
tation during the 1850s.
“There is no doubt that the
items on the list would bring
much more than their valuation
at an antique auction because of
their condition and their beau-
ty.” Robert G. Mauermann,
deputy director of the Depart-
ment, said. “But more important
than their monetary value is
the fact that they will be avail-
able to the public in perpetuity
to represent a way of life in
Texas that we are no longer
familiar with.”
Also in a valuable collection
are personal papers and docu-
ments of the late governor. Col-
lectors will find many of the
books, paintings, and engrav-
ings and statuary to be most in-
teresting.
“There are probably larger
homes with more era furnish-
ings than, the Varner-Hogg, but
I doubt there’s one anywhere
put together with such exquisite
taste,” says Mark Gosdin, dir-
ector of park services of the De-
partment. ,
The |66-acre park, approxi-
mately two miles east of West
Columbia in Brazoria County
was donated to the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department by
Miss Hogg in 1965. Guided tours
of the plantation home are held
from 10 a.m. through noon and
from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. dally ex-
cept Monday and Wednesday.
The Varner-Hogg Plantation
was first owned by a Martin
Varner who got the land by a
grant from the Spanish Gov-
ernment. There, he grew sugar
cane and made the first rum in
Texas.
Varner later sold the land to
Columbus R. Patton, who made
the plantation prosper under a
near-feudal operation. Patton
built the present-day house,
with its large white columns, of
Brazos River clay bricks, on the
same site as Varner’s two-room
log cabin. He died in 1856.
Governor Hogg bought the
plantation in 1901, and except
for a few necessary improve-
ments, the house still stands as
I it did when he bought it.
Rolling Plains
Range Cattle
Systems Compared
A recent comparison of two
range cattle systems on the
Roiling Plains shows that a
cow-yearling venture can be
more flexible and profitable
eight out of ten years.
The comparison was made on
a 425-animal unit ranch which
produced its own replacements.
Average net ranch income for
the 1955-64 period was $12,315
for the cow-yearling system
and $10,665 for the cow-calf
system.
Calvin C. Boykin, agricultural
economist with the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture at Tex-
as A&M University, reported in
a recent issue of the Journal of
Range Management that ad-
justing cattle inventories to
changes in range forage supply
was the major problem in
maintaining output and income.
Boykin used synthetic ranch
budgets in making the analysis.
Consideration was given to
changes in costs of inputs and
prices received for cattle dur-
ing that period.
Levels of nutrition and pro-
duction rates were held cons-
tant through the analysis, as
cattle inventories and supple-
mental feeding rates were kept
in balance with range forage
supply. Selling weights of cattle
were adjusted to reflect dif-
ferences in time of sales.
There was little difference in
flexibility and profitability be-
tween the two cattle systems
where additional replacements
were purchased in response to
increased range forage supply.
However, capital requirements
for replacement purchases was
three times greater for the cow-
calf system than for the cow-
yearling system.
Boykin concluded that in
shifting to a cow-yearling sys-
tem, breeding cows must be re-
duced in proportion to the in-
crease in yearlings if overgraz-
ing of the range is to be avoid-
ed.
