j It is unlikely tiraj this de-
I pressiing appraisal of space ex-
ploration will deter further gen-
erations. At any' rate, for the
present we have the moon to
j think about, and it may not be
j as sterile a proposition as a lot
oi people think. The moon vacu-
I mil — lack of atmosphere —
i lunar extremes of temperature,
the rays of tiic sun and lunar
minerals may turn the moon
into a very practical discovery.
Scientists point out that certain
manufacturers may find the
moon economically irresistablc.
Industries that go to great ex-
pense on earth to create "hard”
vacuums for the production of
such things as electronic tubes,
computer components and hear-
ing aids, would find the moon
an ideal site for plants. More-
over, scientists believe the nat-
ural resources of tlie moon
might even include water that
can be extracted from lunar
rock, thus making moon colo-
nies of humans virtually self-
sufficient. It may also be pos-
sible by using solar rays to
release carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere oi a covered gard-
en where algae could be produc-
ed in water, thus providing a
source of protein for human
consumption, as well as the pro-
duction of needed oxygen.
On the less mundane side, the
value of the moon to future as-
tronomers is inestimable. Giant
telescopes could be trained from
the airless moon’s surface on
distant galaxies extending
man’s vision of the universe
many thousands of times. Astro-
nomers have even pointed out
that lunar craters could be
lined with chicken wire, thus
making ideal reflectors for rai-
do telescopes. Regardless of
theoretical arguments concern-
ing the ultimate impact of the
moon landing on the human
race, the here and now fact
seems to be that it has fired the
imagination of most people and
constitutes the kind of a fron-
tier environment, which in the
past, has always proved a foun-
dation for great achievements.
improve brush and weed con-
trol b\ trying to find ways to
make herbicides stay where they
are put.
Tlie research is aimed at herbi-
cide carriers, which are usually
water or light petroleum oils
such as kerosene or diesel fuel.
Dr. Morris G. Merklo of the
A&M Soil and Crop Sciences
Department, who is heading the
study, says problems arise when
carriers evaporate too soon or
allow sunlight to break down the
herbicide chemical before it can
be completely effective, or drift
into areas where susceptible
crops are growing.
His co-workers are Dr. R. W.
H. Haas of tlie Range Science
Department, and I. F. Bouse
Bovey, Dr. R. E. Meyer, and R.
Engineering Department.
The overall project is financed
by a $63,000 grant from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture for
a four-year period. Represent-
ing the USDA in the work is
Dr. Dayton K. Klingman, Agri-
cultural Research S-rvice agron-
omist at Beltsville, Md.
A variety of substances is be-
ing tried in the carriers. There
is a low volatile oil known as
paraffin oil to cut down evap-
oration, and gelatin as a thick-
ening agent to inhibit drifting.
Then there is syrup to make
the herbicide stick to leaves,
and even ultraviolet light inhib-
itors used in sun tan lotions
and other products to protect
the chemical from sunlight.
In one of tlie experiments,
the researchers used glycerol to
test stickability on yaupon
leaves. Cut ants soon began to
work on the bush. The scientists
wondered why the insects had
taken such a liking to the yau-
pon until they remembered that
the syrupy stuff was a sweetish
member of tlie alcohol family.

moderately priced at food mar-
kets this week, according to Mrs.
Gwendolyne Clyatt, Extension
consumer marketing specialist.
Vegetable supplies show some
improvement over recent weeks.
Corn, okra, carrots, tomatoes,
head lettuce, cabbage, potatoes
and celery are among the more
economically priced items.
New crop sweet potatoes are
now coming to market, adds
Mrs. Clyatt who is with Texas

Take advantage of the fea-
tures on pork this week. This
will add variety to menus and
provide good protein values.
Specials can be found on Bos-
ton butt roast, whole and shank
portion of hams, smoked pic-
nics and loin — cut into chops.
Beef prices remain about the
same as last week: however,
there are scattered specials on

liver and chuck steaks. Steak
lovers, says the specialist, find
good values on rib and porter-
house.

Save Afternoon
Harvested Cotton
Seed For Planting
Texas cotlon growers arc ad-
vised by Fred C. Elliott, Texas
A&M University Extension cot-
ton specialist, to save planting
seed from afternoon harvested
cotton.
It has a lower moisture con-
tent and usually can be stored
without loss until planting time
next year.
Storing cotton seed with more
than 12 per cent moisture, El-
liott explains, often results in
heating and other quality de-
terioration. This means a lower
germination when seed are
planted next spring, resulting
in poor stands.
Cotton gins best at a lint
moisture content of about sev-
en and one-half percent. Tests
show the high-moisture content
of seed cotton during the early
morning is from the high rela-
tive humidity.
Machines should stay out of
the field, he notes, until rela-
tive humidity is below 60 per-
cent and should not pick or
strip if the moisture content of
the seed cotton is above 8 per-
cent.
As a rule of thumb, it’s a good
plan to harvest cotton only be-
tween 8 a m. and about 7 p.m.,
but to be safe, Elliott suggests
saving planting seed only from
cotton harvested In the after-
noons.
Holding high-moisture cotton
on trailers for long periods, un-
der crowded conditions in rush
seasons, lowers the grade, price
and profits. Harvest cotton as
dry as possible and keep it dry,
advises the specialist.
Before storing cotton plant-
ing seed, inspect it closely for
damage Store only seed with
high germination <80 percent is
good i of reputable varieties, ad-
vises Elliott. Seed saved for
bulk storage should be less than
12 percent moisture unless good
drying and cooling facilities are
available.
Finally. Eliott suggests a con-
tinuous check during the winter
on stored seed.

Editor's note: The Philosoph-
er on liis Johnson grass farm on
Aquilla Creek gets over into the
field of sports this week. We’re
not sure lie should.
Dear editar:
I don't usually have anything
to say about sports, it's too ser-
ious a field for me, I stick with
Congress, fanning, internation-
al affairs, metropolitan incom-
petence and things like that,
but like a good many million
other people I’ve been
watching professional football
on television and near the end
of a game the other Sunday a
sudden thought hit me.
The score was 17 to 21, the
home team had the ball and
the 17 points and needed a
touchdown to win, a field goal
wouldn't do it, but there were
only 31 seconds left and the
team had no timeouts left.
The quarterback was passing
successfully and the receivers
stepping out of bounds to stop
the clock, the fans were all
standing up and roaring and
the announcer was straining his
voice, but it was just too far to
the goal line and time ran out.
A few more plays and they
might have made it.
Now here’s a situation the
owners and players of profes-
sional football are overlooking,
when you remember it’s a cash
deal all the way around for ev-
everybody on both sides.
Why couldn’t the team that’s
behind with 30 seconds to go
stop the dock and offer the
other team say, $50,000 for two
more minutes of playing time?
It’d be an offer hard to turn
down, what with the players
all having families and such.
Where’d they get the money?
Where's the fan who wouldn’t
give a dollar to see his team
get one more chance to win?
Just pass the hat and out of
75.000 people in the stadium,
50.000 would kick in immediate-
ly with a dollar apiece, some
even more.
If the team then got the drive
going again but needed a few
more timeouts to conserve the
extra two minutes, why couldn’t
it buy a few at say $5,000 each?
I understand a team is allowed
3 timeouts in each half, but how
many games have you seen
when a few more in the closing
seconds might make the differ-
ence between winning and los-
ing? Professional foolball could
Increase its Income thousands
of dollars a season just by sell-
ing additional timeouts at $5,000
a throw, not to mention the
larger amounts from selling ex-
tra time near tlie end of a cliff-
hanger.
Come to think of it, why
couldn't a baseball team buy
an extra inning when it's be-
hind 3 to 2 in the ninth? Say,
this thing has unlimited fi-
nancial, possibilities.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

For I will satisfy the weary
soul.—(Jer. 31:25).
When we seek more satis-
faction in life we often find
that fulfillment is not depend-
ent on anything physical or
mental, that it Is not depend-
ent on having or not having.
What we actually need is tq
become more involved with the
Christ within ourselves, so
that we can recognize our per-
sonal purpose for living.
Prayer helps us to commune
with our Christ self, and we
discover that there is no longer
self and Christ, but a merging
into one. Our life is no longer
empty, but satisfied and pul*
poseful.
