Poagc Proposes
Fair Farm Labor
Wage Legislation
Legislation providing a gov-
ernment guarantee of fair farm
labor wages when crop prices are
depressed was proposed in Chi-
cago on Sept 4 by Clunn. W. R.
(Bob) Poagc of tlie House Com-
mittee on Agriculture. Chinn.
Poagc offered the idea at a
breakfast meeting of a nation-
al dairymen's organization.
Under the plan, which he em-
phasized was strictly tentative
at this time, the amount the
government would share in
maintaining fair farm wages
would be determined by the per
cent of parity farmers received
on their commodities — that is,
or interest including White | the ratio of fair financial re-
Sandds, Carlsbad Cavern, Cloud
Crost and White City. They re-
turned home Monday night.

turn compared to the out lay of
time and money invested in pro-
ducing a crop.
Tlie Texas Congressman, a
member of the House Agricul-
ture Committee for 30 years, de-
clared that with farm prices now
at only 70 per cent of parity, a
farmer simply cannot pay his
laborers wages comparable with
those paid in industry.
"I am, therefore, now work-
ing on possible legislation which
would tie government assistance
for farm workers to the relation
between farm prices and the
parity level,” he told the dairy-
men.
“1 have in mind a plan where-
by we would determine parity
for agricultural products just as
we do now, then set a reasonable
figure of income for agricul-
tural workers, a figure which
Congress might decide. We
would provide that the farmer
be required to pay only such
percentage of the wage as the
price of his product bore to full
parity, with the government
making up the difference be-
tween that percentage and full
parity.
“In other words, if the wage
were set at $2 per hour and if
farm prices were at 75 per cent
of parity, then the farmer would
pay the worker $1.50 per hour
and me government would sup-
plement this with a wage ad-
justment of 50 cents per hour.
It farm prices went up, the
fanner's share of the wage
would go up. H farm prices fell
the government cost would go
up.”
After observing that the plan
was tossed out simply for con-
sideration, he added:
“Certainly the idea I am sug-
gesting needs discussing, modi-
fication and improvement. I
workers have lots more friends
than do farmers,” and that it
would be wise to do all possible
to assure all farm workers
wages commensurate with those
paid commercial and industrial
employees.
In his speech Poagc noted that
Congress appropriates about $3.5
billion yearly to supplement the
prices farmers receive on cer-
tain basic commodities. Depart-
ment of Agriculture statistics
show that with these price sup-
port payments included, farmers
now received only 74 per cent
of parity on their crops.
Actually, Poage said, the A-
merican consumer is tlie chief
beneficiary of the federal farm
price support programs. Farmers
get only about one-third of what
the consumers pay for groce-
ries, and without support pay-
ments the cost of these groce-
ries would be increased by about
three times as much ns the sub-
sidy, or ten billion dollars more
a year, he added.

“Farmers can’t pay industrial
wages and sell for sub-parity

Still Fishing is Strenuous
Which method calls lor the
most skill-bait fishing (some-
times called still fishing) or
artificial lure angling? Sur-
prisingly, bait fishing requires
more expertise and better
knowledge of fish habits than
does most forms of artificial
lure fishing. In fact, many ex-
perienced anglers who have
considerable success with ar-
tificials don’t use bait because
they can’t catch fish with it!
This is not strange when
you consider the fact that bait
— whether minnow, worm,
crawfish, or insect — must ap-
pear on the hook exactly ns
it would in natural settings,
while artificial lures can look
and act like anything imagin-
able.
Also, fish take live bait be-
cause they’re hungry, hut
they often slrike artificial
lures because they are agitat-
ed, aroused or somehow ex-
cited. And. like most animals,
they’ll do things under pres-
sure which they wouldn’t do
normally. If you’re not a bait
fisherman the angling experts
at Mercury outboards suggest
you give it a try, lor quite
often it’s the skilled worm
dunker” who makes the best
catch.
Don’t use much weight to
sink the bait, as this restricts
your lure’s movement, mak-
ing it appear unnatural. If
you use a float, make it as
small as possible to better
signal action when a fish
takes the bait.
River fishermen like to
drift bait with the current.
They’ll launch a boat, float
downs!ream letting the bait
—usually live minnows or
shad-drift into likely places.
Minnows and crawfish
should he allowed to move
around. But he sure to re-
move pincers from crawfish:
otlierwi.se, they’ll crawl under
a rock where fish can’t reach
them.
Minnows should he hooked
in the “collar” and allowed
to stream out in the water, or
several can he ganged on one
hook. Crawfish are hooked
through the tail.
It takes practice t.i make
n hooked bait appear natural,
hut the fishing gang at Mer-
cury know that constant at-
tention to the bait, and con-
tinuous changing of tech-
nique, will soon tench anyone

The top names in authentic Hawaiian entertainment, Hon Ho,

Roberts’ Special to be taped on location in the tourist capital
of the world — Honolulu.
As an added attraction, Oral Roberts has included a bit of

Probably no single individual
has pained me re recognition
for his home state than Don
Ho. In just eight short years
Ho has risen from obscurity to
become one of the top names
in the entertainment field.
Just recently he signed a nine-
year unprecedented contract
with Cinerama Hotels, guaran-
teeing him $13.5 million. Not
bad for a former U.S. Air Force
jet pilot and sociology girdiutfe
from the University of Hawaii!
The Surfers, although not
as well known on th<: M : n-
l&nd, are a big attract km in
Hawaii. These four young men
have developed a sound unique-
ly their own. It’s Hawa? an,
definitely. It’s easily recogn.rt d
as modem, uptempo. But still
it’s the Surfers* own kind of

Fall Grazing
From Small
Grain Varieties
Newer small grain varieties
tend to improve grazing char-
acteristics and grain yields.
Stockmen are busy planting
oats in an effort to grow early
fall grazing, and many are
asking their county agents about
the small grain varieties.
The soft wheats provide the
most winter grazing according
to Dr. John Chapin, Extension
agronomist for Central Texas.
He says, “forage studies at Mc-
Gregor Research Center show
the soft wheats to be the lop
forage producers.” The recom-
mended soft wheats for grazing
include Knox 62, Riley 67, and
Arthur. Since these are soft
wheats, they do not have desir-
able milling qualities. Stocker
calf and Stocker cow operators
may want to look to these soft
wheats in combination with rye-
grass for winter and spring
grazing.
The hard wheats for this area
include Sturdy, Agent, Fox, and
Caddo. These are desirable mill-
ing wheats.
Wheat has been approved as a
feed grain in the farm program.
Stockmen who no longer plant
grain sorghum and corn can
preserve their feed grain base by
planting, grazing until about
March 1, and harvesting wheat.
The top forage producing oats
are Florida 500 or 501. These
produce a little more grazing
than Ora which is the most com-
mon variety grown in the area.
Other recommended oats include
Coronado, Surgrain, Cortez,
Alamo-X and New Nortex.
Some livestock producers are
looking at the Triticales (wheat
x rye cross) for winter grazing.
Those who planted it last year
were pleased with its perform-
ance in the drouth. Researchers
are trying to develop a Triti-
cales with more winter hardi-
ness and a growing point closer
to the ground. Triticales has the
potential of superior grazing to
all the known small grains.
When fertilizing oats, soil
samples should be submitted
about two weeks prior to the
planting time if the analysis is
'to reach the farmer at the
desired time. Plan now to min-
imize the possibility of nitrate
pensioning and grass tetany in
cattle. The entire phosphorus
recommendation can be applied
at the time of planting. How-
ever, the nitrogen Is to be ap-
plied in split applications —
about half at planting time, and
the other half in early January.
Research shows nitrogen ap-
plications of 60 pounds or less
contributes little or none to the
nitrate poisoning problem. The
main factor is extended periods
of cloudy, wet weather which
upsets the regular plant process.
Under certain weather condi-
tions, both fertilized and un-
fertilized small grains can re-
sult in nitrate poisoning.
A magnesium, fertilization
along with magnesium oxide in
a mineral feed can be used to
reduce the losses from grass tet-
