WILL YOU BE SUED?
This is the heyday of dam-
age suits. An injury indirectly
caused by yourself, though be-
yond your control, may pau-
perize you for life. Hubbard
Hoover, in The Reader's Di-
gest for June, examines the
sharp increase in personal'lia-
bility claims and concludes
that “some judges and many
juries put inflationary values
hnman injuries and lost
hours of work.’’ Not only are
there many more suits but ver-
dicts are much higher. An
analysis of Los Angeles per-
sonal injury claims shows that
the average plaintiff's verdict
rose from $4,686 in 1940 to
$11,707 in 1945.
Hoover’s article, condensed
from The Saturday Evening
Post, cites many caaes, some
resulting in judgements Urge
enough to mean financial ruin
to the average man. A golfer,
hooking his drive, hit the op-
erator of a ear on a nearby
highway. Out of control, the
car overturned. The amount of
the verdict against the unin-
sured golfer meant the loss of
his home, automobile, savings,
and a part of each salary
check for many years.
A verdict ,of $50,000 was
awarded a man shot by a
hunter who mistook him for a
deer; one of $12,600 was
charged against a fisherman
whose cast hooked his com-
panion in the cheek. Baseball,
rowboats, even a game of
quoits at f church picnic have
on occasion transformed a
friendship into a lawsuit.
"You can get in trouble
from outsiders who meet mis-
fortune ^in your home or on
your grounds,” Hoover says.
,The postman who stepped on
Junior’s skates called again,
three weeks later, with a law-
yer. A guest skidded on a
small rug, broke her elbow,
and charged her host $19,000.
A sha'ky step ladder, giving
. way under a cleaning woman,
{cost its owner $12,500.

Hopper* Hatching
College Station. — Farmers
of the state are being urged
by the Texas A. and M. Col-
iege Extension Service to start
control measures against mil-
lions of grasshoppers that, are
hatching now.
Entomologists of the Exten-
sion Service say that poison
bait put out now to kill the
young hoppers can prevent a
lot of damage to the state’s
row crops. Grasshopper infes-
tations were large last season
and the hatch this spring
points to another big year for
the insects.
An early start on grasshop-
per control is being encour-
aged now because the insects,
st present, are young and easy
to kill; they are bunched to-
gether now after the hatch
and therefore very little bait
will kill them; and they are
still on the edges of fields and
have not, as yet, done any
damage to row crops.
According to information re-
ceived by the Extension Serv-
ice from the USDA Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quar-
antine office at Waco, grass-
hopper surveys show that the
insects have shown up in large
numbers in the following coun-
ties: Erath, Jack, Archer.
Wichita, Clay, Wise, Denton,
Dallas, Collin, Hunt, Kauf-
man, Ellis, McLennan, Falls,
Robertson, Brazos, Burleson,
Washington, Austin, Bastrop.
Gonzales, Karnes, Guadalupe,
Caldwell, Hays, Travis and
Williamson.
The Extension entomologists
say that most all counties have
grasshopper bait on hand, and
that farmers may contact their
county agricultural agent for
help in getting the bait and
putting it out.
The Rural Electrification
Administration has approved
a loan of $250,000 to an elec,
trie cooperative organization
at Stamford, Texas. The loan
will be used for system im-
provement and for 206 miles
of lines to serve 403 rural cus-
tomers.

FOUR TONS FOR
TEN CENTS
College Station.—Is there •
farmer in the house who would
like to buy four tons of green
fertilizer for a dime?
Dale Freiberger, county ag-
ricultural agent of Atascosa
County, says that Joe Bomba,
Pleasanton fanner in that
county, -figures he buys that
much fertilizer for a- dime
when he inoculates enough
seed to plant one acre of Hu-
bam clover.
When Bomba planted his
Htibam clover last fall, he put
in twelve rows without inocu-
lating. The remainder of the
field was planted with inocu-
lated seed.
From the time the clover
came np, says County Agent
Freiberger, the inoculated
clover was easy to detect. It
was full of blooms and cover-
ed with dark, green leaves,
while the uninocclated plants
were much smaller and yellow
eovered. Making a recent
check on the amount of green
leaves, while the uninoculated
plants were much smaller and
.low covered. Making a re-
cent check on the amount of
green materials produced,
Freiberger found 12,000
pounds per acre on the inocu-
lated clover, and only 4,000
pounds per acre on the cheek-
plot, a difference of 8,000
pounds of given fertilizer on
each acre.
