To further the ». E. T, onion*, and cabbie. These are

Hop kina County Progrero Build-

do what we can in the promo-

in Hopkin* County. We asked
a representative of the Camp-

Chambers, to meet with a num-
ber ef ear vegetable producer#

group some of the require-

drawing up a contract with a
producer who wanted to cell
vegetables to the seup com-

Campbell’s would' start plant

An additional part of the re-

The contract guarantees a
market and a price. Chambers
stated a producer would need
at least • to 10 acres of Vege-
tables to make it worthwhile
to the producer. He said that a
producer would have to grow
into the business of producing
vegetables as the program
‘would probably be different
from anything they had done
before. He went on to say that

The National Association of
Soil Conservation Districts has

Water requirements for pro-
ducing a unit of dry matter
are lowered by adequate level
of soil nutrients. On poor soil*
(most upland throughout the
world), the water require-
ments may be reduced as much
as one-half by proper fertiliser
application. Dr. George Smith,
chairman of department of
soils, University of Missouri.

Chambers pointed out that ir-

that for ten acres of vege-

more water than this would be
needed. He felt that our sandy

the type vegetables' wanted.
The desire, and experience is
all that is needed for a pro-
ducer to make a profit from
the vegetable operation.
Chambers stressed several
times that growing vegetables

be a “get rich quick” program.

Drowning*, he explains, ac-
count for more than 6,60© fa-
talities each year in the nation
and ranks fourth among the
major death causing accidents.
And, he emphasizes, the num-
ber of one-year olds leads all
other age groups in the num-
ber of fatalities. Small chil-
dren should never be permitted
to play around water unless
closely supei vised.
About a third of the drown-
ing* o e c u r while people are
swimming or playing in the wa-
ter and the other two-thirds
result from falls into the wa-
ter from dock*, bridges or
shores or while the person is
fishing, boating or is engaging
in no n-swinuning activities,
says Keese.
A few simple rule* could pre-
vent many of the fatal acci-
dents and the first rule, accord-
ing to the engineer, is to know
how to swim if you plan to
engage in any type of water
sport #r activity. Learn to
float, he adds, so you can rest
' in the water. Know the area in
which you swim. Swim with
other* and never alone. Learn
how to give mouth-to-month
respiration. If you are a no-
vice nt swimming, don’t get in
water over your head and don’t
go iato deep water after dark.
Never engage in rough play
in the water nor stay in the
wator during an electrical
storm. Use the buddy system
when swimming with groups
and alwsys wear a life preserv-
er when boating or skiing, ad-
vises Keese.
If you have a farm pond,
make it safe for swimming.
Mark the swimming areas and
post safety rules. Provide life
saving devices such as a ring
buoy, a long pole and ropes
and it’* a good idea to mark
danger point* such as stumps
or sharp rock*, he says. Swim-
ming, he add*, is one of the
healthiest farms of outdoor
recreation and by following
common sens* rule# erf safe-
ty can aI*o be one of ft* most

Then Arose A King
Who Knew Not Joseph
College Station—Joseph was
popular for a fleeting moment
and then faded with the paus-
ing of time. Elisabeth Akers
expresses much of our senti-
ment when she coined “back-
ward, turn backward, O Time,
in your flight.” Sometimes we
fail to recognize how fast time
really changes.
Up until 1907, man’s speed
was about as fast as a horse
could run. A public relations
man arranged a race between
a train and a horse, and just
about 57 years ago we broke
the “oat barrier.” You know
how fast man can travel today.
Yet, says Texas AAM Uni-
versity Extension Sociologist
Reagan Brown, though space
flight is brand new, four per
cent of our citizens (7.6 mil-
Hon) have no idea of life prior
to the first American manned
space flight on May 5, 1961.
Korean Veterans may be sur-
prised if asked when talking of
their experience, “what war?”
Over one-fifth of our popula-
tion (about 42 million) has
been bom since the cease fire.
"Sometimes,” says Brown,
“when talking of our experi-
ences of World War II we get
blank stare* when we speak
of Malmedy, Siegfried Line,
Battle of the Bulge, and Guad-
alcanal, etc,” But we must
remember that about half (48 !¥ Fftlfnn
per cent) of our people have * JuCmm wUIlUll

as Lisenhower, Truman, and; would like to earn the extea
price support payment made
available by recently enacted
legislation will be able to qual-
ify by keeping their acreage
within their farm's “domestic
allotment”. A notice has been
mailed to each farmer with an
allotment, informing him what
the domestic allotment is for
his particular farm.
Generally, the domestic al-
lotment is 67 percent of the
farm’s 1964 “effective” allot-
ment ( the regular allotment
after any release or reappor-
tionment). If the acreage plant-

hower, fewer of the Fair Deal

not old enough to remember

dent Roosevelt. Moreover, 66
per cent are too young to re-
call the stock market crash of
192ft, says Brown.

And a parting thought—we
celebrate the 50th anniversary
of the income tax this year—
and of interest is the fact that
87 per cent or about 166 mil-
lion of our people were born
after this law was passed.

There’s a “minimum” domestic
