Communities Win In
Improvement Contest
Two Navarro County Commu-
nities were named Sunday in the
Community Pasture Improve-
ment Contest and the Rural
Neighborhood Progress Contest.
The Mildred-Eureka Commun-
ity was named top winner in the
Community Pasture Improvement
Contest sponsored by the Texas
Plant Pood Society and second
in the Rural Neighborhood Prog-
ress Contest sponsored by the
Farmer - Stockman Magazine.
Chatfield-Tupelo was the second
place community in the pasture
contest and third in the progress
contest. These communities were
selected from a field of 21 en-
tries in Extension Service Dis-
trict 4 made up of 19 counties
in North Centrol Texas. Ten com-
munities from over the district,
'which were selected from records
submitted, were scored during
the week of April 28, by a dis-
trict judging committee who
toured each of them.
One hundred dollars and cer-
tificate of merit will be awarded
to Mildred-Eureka and $80 and
a certificate goes to Chatfield-
Tupelo in the pasture improve-
ment contest. Their prizes in the
RNPC are $75 and $50.
The Pickett Community will
also be recognized for their entry
in the contest with certificate of
merit.
These communities have done
outstanding work in farm and
home improvement, pasture im-
provement, brush control, seed-
ing, increasing social participa-
tion, improving churches and
grounds, improving health condi-
tions and service.
Through organized effort they
have increased community peride
and made their community a bet-
ter place in which to live.
Pecan Nut Casebearer Active
People with pecan trees should
be on the lookout now for the
most costly pecan insect, the pe-
can nut casebearer. The larvae
were found feeding in the young
twigs two weeks ago in Navarro
County and in some areas the
moth which lays eggs o,n the
tiny nuts, probably have emerg-
ed. These eggs hatch into the
borer which causes the loss of
so many nuts.
The “Texas Guide for Controll-
ing Insects and Diseases and
Fruits and Nuts,” 1958, gives
recommendations for materials to
use. The leaflet is available at
the County Agent’s office.

WASHINGTON AND
SMALL BUSINESS
For some time, the nation’s in-
dependent businessmen, voting
through the National Federation
of Independent Business, have
been on record favoring both
cabinet rank for a small business
representative, as well as mak-
ing the Small Business Adminis-
tration a permanent instrumen-
tality of ther'-''
government. j <IM\ '
Hi * *
Ar guments
advanced
against these
proposals have
always been
more or less
along the line I
that the Com-
merce Dept.
adequately1 c. W. Harder
represents all business.
* * *
Yet, as practically any busi-
ness on any Main Street will
back up, the record of the U. S.
Commerce Dept, for years has
been quite shameful in its ne-
glect of the small, independent
enterpriser’s heeds.
* * *
Probably no better proof of this
need is to be found than in the ef-
fect the current recession has had
on small business. Actually, over
a year ago, the Senate Small
Business Committee, headed by
Sen. John Sparkman, in a special
study, predicted that in less than
two decades, provided the trend
of small business failures, and
big company expansions con-
tinued, small business would be
a thing of the past in this nation.
* * *
Not a small part of the high
rate of small business failures in
1958 so far of about 16,000 per
year, equal to anything in the
early 30’s, is due to extremely
unrealistic tax policies in regard
to small, business.
* * *

man by the name of Joseph made

eminent to squirrel away during
good years some reserves to
meet the lean years.
* * *
In 1956 and before that, in
1952, both major political parties
pledged in their platforms to so
revise the tax laws to permit
small business to lay aside nest
eggs for rainy days. If these
promises had been fulfilled at
either of these times, it is quite
probable that not only would
small business be in a healthier
shape today, but would also be
taking up the unemployment
slack created by a few huge cor-
porations firing workers.
1 * * *
As Rep. Wright Patman has
often pointed out, the bulk of
the employment in this country
is provided by some 2,000,000
bona fide independent businesses,
* * *
Building a few new post offices,
or a few new dams, is no substi-
tute for employment provided by
an expanding independent free
economy.
* * *
For example, the new money
now sought for foreign give-
aways is equal to the require-
ments of some 80,000 good inde-
pendent retail establishments
that can furnish employment to
over 750,000 people. Or it is a
sum equal to some 8,000 good,
modernly equipped regional in-
dependent packers and manufac-
turing plants, capable of furnish-
ing jobs to over a million and a
half people.
* * *
Thus, then, the approximately
$55 billions in taxes sopped up by
the many different foreign give
away programs, have sapped the
vigor of an entire generation of
independent business.
* * *
It is small wonder, then, that
the nation’s independent busi-
nessmen, according to the evi-
dence in the files of the Na-
tional Federation of Independent
Business place little reliance on
the Dept, of Commerce.
