Harvests 2000 lbs.
Madrid Clover Seed
Two thousand pounds of Mad-
rid Sweetclover have been har
vested by District Cooperator
Willie Robertson on his farm two
miles west of Bartlett. This har-
vest represents a yield of two
hundred and fifty pounds of
clover seed per acre from eight
acres. Robertson has been grow-
ing clover as a part of his regu
lar crop rotation for the past
three years. First year soedings
are utilized for grazing or hay
with a seed harvest being ac
complished from second year
acreages. Germination and pur-
ity tests will be run on these
seed and a portion of same will
be available for the local mar-
ket. Sweetclovers are tops for soil
improvement purposes accord-
ing to Soil Conservation Service
technicians serving the District.
Year in and year out top cotton
corn and maize yields come from
those lands that have received
the benefit of good legume
treatment such as can be re-
ceived from the sweetclovers.
Enlargment of a farm pond
dam on the farm of District
Cooperator Willie Mason five
miles east of Bartlett has been
completed. A buildozer was cm-
ployed to complete the enlarge-
ment operation. Heavy demands
on the old pond for livestock
water coupled with severe and
continued dry seasons necessita-
ted the improvement.

WASHINGTON NEWS
By W. It. Poago
Although the Senate filibus-
ter has received most of the
attention of the public the
House has been working long
hours each day in an effort to
wind up the business of the ses
sion. Just a lew minutes ago
the House voted to send an
Adjournment Resolution to the
Senate. The date fixed in the
Resolution is tomorrow night
(July 31). This is in keeping
with the law which fixes July
31 as the latest adjournment
date except in cases of National
emergncy (war) . We realize the
Senate cannot adjourn by to-
morrow night and that they will
amend the Resolution nnd fix
some later date. At the same
time I think the passage of this
Resolution may very will serve
to push the Senate into taking
action on such measures as the
Farm Bill which they have been
holding for weeks without any
consideration. I voted FOR the
Resolution.
Earlv this week the House
passed the Rfvers and Harbors
Authorization Bill which inclu
ded authority to construct a dam
on the Bosque at Waco one on
the Lampasas near Belton and
one on the San Gabriel above
the Milam County line. All of
these projects are important to
Central Texas. It will still be
necessary to get appropriations
and I realize this is going to
take years but I have already
joined with interested citizens
in urging the Army Engineers
to try to get some .money for a
start in next year's budget.
The House passed a bill yes-
terday incerasing the capital
stock of the Commodity Credit
Corporation. Frankly; I feel that
Secretary Benson asked for this
increase simply to create ad-
ditional resentment against our
farm program. I don't think the
additional stock is necessary at
this time but I certainly do not
propose to take any chances. I
therefore voted FOR the bill.
The House voted to again in-
crease the benefits of the Rail-
road Retirement Act. I voted
FOR the changes but think this
must make every thoughful per-
son wonder how long we can
continue to operate half a dozen
different retirement systems. I
would like to retain the desira-
ble features of each system but
am convinced we must come to
the recognition that every Gov
ernment-supported program
should charge the same rates
and pay the same type of bene-
fits whether the citizen is work-
ing for a railroad bank the
Post Office the Veterans' Ad-
ministration the Army as Con-
gressman or a farmer. I would
not destroy the rights that any-
one has already built up in the
past but as new workers come
along I think they should all be
treated alike. We cannot afford
or justify any specially favored
classes.
On yesterday we voted on a
project to move water out of
the Colorado River of the West
under the Rocky Mountains into
the Arkansas River for use in
irrigation lands east of the Conr
tinental Divide. The estimated
cost was one hundred and severity-two
million dolors. The
project would have produced
less power than is produced at
the Bob Poage Steam Plant at
Belton. Surely no one could 'fier-
iously urge such an expenditure
for so little power. There is n
dispute as to how much land
could b0 irrigated but with the
most favorable figuros the cost
would be several million dollars
per acre. I simply can't see how
we can justify such a expendi-
ture of Government funds to
put more land m cultivation
while we are having to reduce
the number of acres of land al-
ready in that can be planted to
our mnjor crops. Therefore
much as I want to develop our
water resources to the utomost
I voted AGAINST the project.
For years the Capitol Police
have been named by the Majori
ty Party. Many have been boys
from all over the country who
were thus given an opportunity
to go to school or lay up a little
money for use when they went
home. I think they havc done a
good job but the shooting of
Members from the Gallery this
Spring caused a hysteria among
some people including some
Members of Congress. I don't
wnnt to be shot any more than
any other Member but I think
I know that professional Police
could have done nothing to pre
vent this shooting any more
than the City Police and the
Secret Service could prevent the
shooting of Mayor Cermack a
few years ago. All we need as
I see it is to require proper
qualifications and to give rea-
sonable training to the Capitol
Police. I don't think we need to
create a professional force of
Washington citizens I there-
fore voted AGAINST the bill
which the House passed yester-
day making these lifetime jobs.

m ELECTRIC!" jjp
My kitchen stays degrees cooler since 1 "ll i JllLi' A
started cobking electrically! The reasons: 1Bl I $3j$k
the oven of an electric range is heavily wA . j j 7 aL
insulated to keep practically all heat inside ' ' 0
where it should be. In surface cooking jSUtaiL. v yy
the heat is in direct contact with the pan and yrjf'"''JJ
is transferred right to the food. Jjfg i' terJ
Summertime or any time electric cooking's fflf? f '
wonderful. So economical too! The oven SEfr I &j m
cooks with current off more than '2 the jcrn li $M&dS
time! Enjoy cool electric cooking. 7fl I
Sec your dealer for a new electric range. hf'till l
