Other resolutions adppted
were;
No. 2 — Whereas Gov. Price
Daniel was re-nominated in
the May 7 primary and is en-
titled to the support of the
delegates who will attend the
September state convention;
be it resolved by the Fayette
county Democartic convention
that we pledge our coopera-
tion and support to Price Dan-
iel as the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor.
No. 3 — Be it resolved that
the delegates from Flayette
county to the state convention
be under the unit rule.
No. 4 — Be it resolved that
this convention favor nomina-
tion of a Democratic candidate
for president by a Democratic
preferential primary election
in Texas.
No. 5 — Be it resolved that
this convention favors the pas-
sage of legislation, which would
limit the authority of the De-
partment of Public Welfare in
the granting of funds for il-
legitimate children. And be H
further resolved that the De-
partment of Public Welfare
shall be required to report to
a local grand jury the failure
I of the father to support his
children before such children
may be eligible for assistance
from the Department.
No. 6 — Be it resolved that
the commissioners’ court of
Fayette county be requested
to determine by formal re-
solution whether or not it is
necessary to continue employ-
ment of the office of the county
superintendent of Fayette
county.
No. 7 — Be it resolved that
we seek to reduce the cost of
bale of cotton, to land that now
produces 60 bushels of com
per acre, and one acre will
produce almost a bale of cot-
ton, and probably the first
$200 per acre offer would not
buy this place. This is progress
Mr. Klaus made on his 178
acre farm in the Shelby com-
munity.
Mr. and Mrs. Klaus purchas-
ed this farm in the fall of 1944
and immediately began apply-
ing conservation measures that
would protect and improve
the soil. Klaus recalls that the
10 acre native meadow pro-
duced 83 bales of hay the first
year after he bought the place.
In 1959, this same meadow
produced 346 bales of hay
which was brought about by
proper management.
In some areas brush was so
thick in the pasture that it
was a problem to get through
by foot. Klaus made good use
of the ax to thin and cut out
most of the brush. In 1945,
six head of livestock is about
all the pasture would take care
of. Today Klaus has a dairy
herd of 45 head and has more
grass now than when he had
six head.
Klaus became a cooperator
with the Fayette Soil Conser-
vation district in 1946, at which
time technicians of the Soil
Conservation Service assisted'
him in developing a plan for
his unit that would meet the
needs of the land. Klaus con-
structed terraces in all his
cropland. Uses Hubam Clover
in his crop rotations whereby
about 1/4 of his cropland is
planted to Hubam each year
and rotated. All crop residues
are turned back to the top-
soil. He does all nis’ tillage on
the contour and each year fer-
tilizes a part of his farm. A

In the span of 15 years, every

years ago the house was re-

Klaus says each year the

government by elimination of
personnel rather than hunt for
new sources of taxes.
No. 8 — Whereas, the cost of
government has been on the
increase due to a multitude of
factors, including inflation, and
constantly more government
services; and whereas, it is
fundamental truth that money
collected locally and spent lo-
cally goes much further be-
cause there is less red tape,
the people demand more eco-
nomy and less waste;
Therefore, be it resolved
that the Democratic party use
every influence to keep gov-
ernment at home in every field
possible so that the taxpayers
receive the very most for their
tax dollar.

a baler ready to use when your crop is prime this
season. Take advantage of this outstanding rental
offer that lets you use a new Case baler for less
than you’d pay a custom baler. And you also have
the option to purchase at the end of the season,
which lets you apply every cent paid in rent toward
the purchase price. Either way, you’re money ahead.
