College station — Are your
garden vegetables poor produc-
ers? If so, the plants may have
damaged by root knot.
Root knot occurs in all areas
of Texas, and is usually more
common in sandy soils. The dis-
ease is caused by nematodes.
Nematodes are small, micro-
scopic worms belonging to a
group of animals known as
roundworms.
Plants damaged bv nematodes

RESOLUTION
Presented by the Lavaca Co. delegation at the State Democra-
tic Convention in Austin, Tuesday, June 14th:
WHEREAS, the recent census showed a further heavy drop
in our farm population and;
WHEREAS, the State of Texas has already lost half of her
farm families, and this nation more than thirty million of its
farm people; and
WHEREAS, this condition is becoming steadily worse at a
time when our State and Nation need all of their strength against
the world menace of Communism, which thrives on « sink* of
landless people; and
WHEREAS, the very farm families who have never been re-
sponsible for producing surpluses are the victims of an allotment
policy which is driving them from the farms; and
WHEREAS, the present parity price policy directed by the
Government has treated uncertainty in world farm commodity
markc ts and has been responsible for increased production in
competing countries by providing a price umbrella and losing ex-
port markets to our farmers; and
WHEREAS, the present policy of selling to the government
instead of in the open markets has created an utterly hopeless ami
uneconomic situation with a two price system, one higher for
the domestic market and a lower world market price for export as
the consequences; and
WHEREAS, Thomas Jefferson, a great Democrat, has said:
"The finest part of the state are the small landholders;” and
WHEREAS, William Jennings Bryan, another great Demo-
cratic leader lias said: “Burn down your cities and leave our

Dear Neighbors:
Not too many days ago wo
thought and hoped that certain
overtures coming out of Russia
might lead to some de-icing of
the Cold War. Even though 1
have long been reluctant about
the recent visits of President
Elsenhower to various spots in
the world, I still hoped that this
man, who seems to p ssoss a
personality which appeals to
may die. Vegetables are usual-
ly small and unfit to eat.
To examine suspected plants,
carefully remove roots and soil
with a shovel. Diseased roots
have abnormal galls or knots.
Avoid confusing root knot with
beneficial nodules or legumes.
Root knot swellings are a part
of the root itself. Nodules arc
easy to push off of the root.
Nematodes are controlled by
a combination of cultural prac-
tices and the use of nematodes,
ticcs and the use of namato-
cides.

tact your extension agent and

Spoiled Plugs Can
Spoil Vacation
Sometimes a vacation trip
can end even lieforo you drive
out of your neighborhood. The
Culprit could be spark plug
failure - those mysterious lit-
tle spitfires that turn fuel into
power to run the engine of your
car.
In order to avoid being a co-
conspirator to delaying the holi-
day jaunt, the Purolator Auto-
motive Research Bureau asks
you to heed tills advice:
Bring the car to your service
station for the "one-plug-check"
n few days before departing on
your vacation. It consists of
the attendant simply removing
one plug which, at a glance, can
reveal to him the condition of
the others. If the removed plug
is worn, burned or fouled, it’s
almost a certainlty the others
are too.
If the plug is in good condi-
tion, the attendant will simnlv
flip your car’s hood down, wipe
your windshield and you'll be on
your way in three minutes, sat-
isfied tbat your vacation plans
won't be delayed.
Remember also that soark
plugs should be cleaned, adjust-
ed and inspected for wear every
5.000 miles and replaced every
10.000 miles.

Q. I can’t decide between two
good friends for the role of best
man at my wedding. Would it
be all right for me to have two
“best men"?
A. Sorry; the maximum is
ONE best man. You can, how-
ever, designate one of these
good friends of yours as head
usher, which is a position al-
most equal to that of best man.
Q. Is it ever permissable to
use the spoon for eating pie, es-
reclallv in the case of a juicy
fruit pie?
A. Pie is strictly a “fork
food,” no matter how juicy it
is. And it is not even proper to
finish the remaining juice with
the spoon either.

The present farm policies can hardly have a better effect in following World War I without
the future than in the past. The price supports cannot pile1 up success,
less crops in the government hands, especially if raised still
more. And the allotments will keep on making small farmers their
vicitms, though they never produced any surpluses. How can such
policies bo justified?
The answer to those conditioni cannot be in making farmers

It Remains To Be Seen
The Japanese situation is es-
pecially distasteful. It pointed
up again the power of controlled
mob violence. Certainly, the Jap-
anese mobs were large, but
so also Sen. Yarborough and others agree.
So long as farmers must pay tariff prices for what they buy-,
they are entitled to a reimbursement. But this subsidy should be
only direct payments, so as not to interfere in the free markets.
We must stop making landless people as Communists do. If
that is their strength, it cannot be ours. Farming must ho made
as attractive to our young people as any other fields, or we all
go down,
That’s the purpose of the resolution our delegates, headed by
Mr. George P. Barron of Yoakum, presented in the State Dem.
Convention. It remains to be seen whether in the National Con-
vention politics, or a real statesmanship will decide th's issue.
Exprience StM Best Teacher
Tin' citizens of the communist countries have no means of
changing the economic system under which they live. They
have no vote, in any real sense of the term. The state, with all
its apparatus of ruthless power, sees that they obey — or else.
But there are free countries where, in past times, socialism
has made tremendous strides. And in certain conspicuous cases
the pendulum has now swung the other way.

Amidst this rising tension in
world affairs there are two im-

All of you seem to be in accord

measures. There seems to be no

past experiences and present
world conditions. I d’d vote as
far as 1 could for military assis-
tance.
Passing almost without notice
a week or so ago was a meeting
here between top officials of the
four major farm organizations
— Farm Bureau, Grange, Far-
mers Union and National Coun-
cil of Farmer Cooperatives.
I have often remarked to you
that by necessity these organi-
zations would first have to sit
down together and work out
their differences before any sig-
nificant farm bill could bo pass-
ed. I have always felt that these
differences were a matter of de-
gree rather than substance. This
mooting has strengthened my
feelings. They tell me there was
complete agreement on improv-
ing farm income, on expanding
agriculture markets, on bolster-
ing agricultural research, on a
better program of informing the
general puhlic of the true facts
about farmers and farming, and
most important to my way cf
thinking on cooperation in
working for the goals that all of
us who are interested in agri-
culture have been striving for o-
ver these many years.
These efforts by our great
farm organizations are com-
monable, and t know all of you
join me in the hope that wo can
keep our problems in our farm
family; work them out; and
then go to work on improving
our agriculture economy.
