THE PADUCAH POST. PADUCAH. TEXAS. THUBSDAY, AUGUST 9. 1956
&o6 t
By SEGER I. JENKINS
Fellow Paducahians, readers
and countrymen, the current is-
sue as it stands, is mainly dis-
cussion upon the subject of who
will be the next governor of
Texas.
It looks as through the high
man upon the totem pole is
Price Daniel, but that is only
as of now, according to some
of the other Texas newspapers,
“letters to the editor” and other
views, it seems as though Ralph
Yarborough might just happen
to receive most of those votes
cast in the first primary for
W. Lee O’Daniel and several
from the other defeated can-
didates.
Just for the fun of it, we’re
predicting this to happen and
that Yarborough will be the
leading candidate.

Down here at the salt mine,
things have been kind of
changed up a bit. For this
week is the first week A1 Hinds
hasn’t been editor in a long
long time. Ole (Shakespeare)
Bennett is the man in his shoes
at present. We also have with
us for a while, Miss Charlene
White of Haskell, added to the
front office writing staff. Mr.
Loyd (lightning fingers) Wom-
ack of Spur, is filling the chair
of C. E. Whitlock, Post Lino-
type operator who is on vaca-
tion.
The other two members of
the staff and ourselves are still
in our same positions, for it
seems that the monkeys are not
quite trained.

From McMurry down at Abi-
lene, Doyle Conner who was
among the band students at-
tending a two weeks’ band
course, tells us that Prof. Ray-
mond T. Bynum, Band Director
at McMurray, left these ' words
of wisdom with them.
“A man with ten children is
more satisfied, than the man
with a million dollars, for the
man with a million dollars ■will
always want more.”

Hard work is an accumula-
tion of easy things you didn’t

Upon seeing the newsboys
down at the Post sell papers on
Thursdays, our little 3 year old
daughter decided to cut in on
the “vast selling world”, and
make a little change for her-
self. Of course this was all un-
beknowing to us.
One Thursday evening late,
our little one was playing out in
the front yard, she was pretend-
ing to be selling papers as the
big boys do. But it just so hap-
pened that some passerby
noticed her trying to sell a pa-
per and up and purchased the
thing. She was very happy when
she returned indoors with the
seven cents, and so was the wife,
for she hadn’t read it that week!

ly, I sympathize with Mr. Dulles
on this particular issue. It is a
tough one. In fact, it is the
toughest one that Mr. Dulles
has come up against since serv-
ing as Secretary of State. Much
of the information that he has
on the subject is classified and,
therefore, withheld from the pub-
lic on the theory that its re-
lease would prove more detri-
mental than beneficial to
the best interests of this coun-
try. Mr. Dulles is burdened with
having to make decisions on
this subject matter that may
well bring much criticism on
him. Let us all hope that he
makes' the right decisions.
Some officials, writers and oth-
er analysts of foreign affairs
here have taken the position
that this Suez Canal issue is
not primarily the responsibility
of this country. Literally speak-
ing, this might be true, because
we do not own the Suez Canal
Company or stock in it. But let
us not be naive to the extent
that we tell ourselves that the
United States does not have a
stake in this situation. In fact,
a great deal is at stake, mater-
ially and otherwise. Many peo-
ple think that: the Canal would
never have been seized if this
; country and England had pro-
vided the loan for the present
Ruler of Egypt—Nasser- to
construct the Aswan Dam on
the Nile River. It presently ap-
pears that the Aswan Dam mat-
ter was a political chess game
between this country and Britain
on the one side, Russia on the
other. The U. S.-British Team
concluded that Russia did not
intend to furnish the money for
this project. They then served
notice on Nasser that the money
would not be available from
the United States and Britain.
It was generally thought that
Nasser had strengthened his
position of leadership with his
people by selling them on the
probability of the dam being
built. Hence, when construction
funds were denied him, his en-
tire Administration was at stake.
Some of the analysers feel that
Russia did not take the position
of absolute refusal of funds to
Nasser, but suggested that it
would be much better for the
Nasser government and the peo-
ple of Egypt if the Aswan Dam
was financed at home. Suggest-
ing further that the Suez Canal
was located wholly within the
territorial boundaries of Egypt
and could well provide sufficient
revenue to finance the

A South Texan has just de-
termined that overstocking of
his private pond, and not some
mysterious ailment, was respon-
sible for the abnormally small
catfish he has been catching.
Communicating with the Chief
Aquatic Biologist of the Game
and Fish Commission, the man
learned that the seven hundred
plus big and little channel cats
he placed in his ne acre tank
he placed in his one acre tank
originally comprised about fif-
teen times more than recom-
mended by technicians. He had
complained that, after four
years, the catfish he was catch-
ing were only five or six inches
in length.
The Chief Aquatic Biologist ex-
plained that planting fifty cat-
fish fingerlings in a tank the
same size will produce amaz-
ing growth. He wrote to the
mystified land owner:
“From experiments, conducted
by our Mr. W. H. Brown, it was
found that in a one acre pond
fifty channel catfish after eight
months had an average length
of 18.9 inches and a weight of
33.0 ounces.
“When 75 channel catfish per
acre were stocked, at the end
of eighteen months they at-
tained a size of 16.3 inches and
a weight of 23 ounces. When
100 catfish per acre were used,
at the end of eighteen months
they had an average length of
15.9 inches and a weight of 22
ounces. We also have received
verified reports that nine months
after stocking, some pond own-
ers when stocking 100 finger-
ling catfish per acre were able
to catch some channel catfish
that measured 15.75 inches.
“It is a truism that waters
are capable of producing a giv-
en amount of fish weight. Thus,
if the fish are limited in popu-
lation, they will grow to be
bigger fish than of the fish are
present in large numbers. For
example, if a pond is stocked
with 100 fish per acre and a
like pond is stocked with 1,000
fish per acre, the two ponds will
produce the same poundage of
fish. You can readily see that
the pond with the 00 fish per
acre will be the pond that pro-
duces the large fish.
“It is also true that any time
bluebill sunfish are present in
a body of water, they reproduce
so bountifully that they soon
become present in such quanti-
ties as to cause a stunted popu-
lation of their kind.”

THE SOIL BANK AND
THE DROUTH FARMER
In its clamor to relieve the
bad situation of our nation’s
farmers through the recently
adopted and inaugurated soil
bank program, the administra-
tion is all but by-passing the

farmer who needs help
most—the drouth farmer.
Payments have already begun
for those who choose to relieve
surpluses by plowing under
crops or letting potentially pro-
ductive soil remain idle. But,
for the farmer whose land re-
fuses to grow crops because na-
ture’s water supply has been
temporarily wihdrawn, no help
is forthcoming.
The intent of the program
passed this year by Congress
is to base soil bank payments
on normal production, with the
main purpose being elimination
of surpluses.
A realistic interpretation of
the measure would base con-
sideration on production from
a normal 10-year period. As it
stands now, payments are being
based on this season’s potential
production. This leaves hundreds
of drouth-ridden Texas farmers
■out in the cold with a small
token crop failure sum, plus
the right to graze their grass-
less land.
Are the drouth farmers whose
crops failed to come up reliev-
ing the surplus problem any
less than those who set aside
productive land for the same
purpose? Our parched but oth-
erwise fertile farms are just as
idle as any soil “banked” in
producing areas this season.
The soil bank system should
not reward a man for plowing
under a productive crop and
then penalize a man for having
a crop failure. The results are
the same in both cases. Neith-
er produces a surplus of godds,
if that’s what the program is
for.
The soil bank could be one
of the easiest means of provid-
ing vitally needed aid to farm-
ers suffering from drouth. The
matter of interpretation is the
key that can mean the differ-
ence between relief and repres-
sion to our farm people.

That if Egypt should seize the
Canal, it would then have the
wherewithal to build the Aswan
Dam. That the end result would
be ownership by Egypt of both
the Canal and the Dam. Whether
or not this took place is con-
jectural, but it is a certainty
that Nasser seized the Canal
and then told his people that
Egypt would build the Aswan
Dam and finance it by revenues
from the Suez Canal.
Expropriation of property is
a practice that is looked upon
in this country as a crime. If
our government needs private
property, it proceeds to acquire
the same by the exercise of the
right of eminent domain. This
proceeding, of course, requires
the government to pay the fair
value of the property taken.
Such is not the case when prop-
erty is expropriated. Most of
you will recall the expropriation
by the Mexican Government of
all of its oil fields just a few
years ago. Whether it is legally
right or wrong seems to depend
upon where you happen to be
at the time.
Egypt will, no doubt, use the
expropriation of Arab lands in
setting up the State of Israel,
and the subsequent support of
such action by the Western
World as a precedent for her
action in seizing the Canal. Al-
so, the several actions subse-
quent to World War II when a
certain country was permitted
to expropriate and deport, not
only property, but persons. Cer-
tainly two wrongs or two mis-
takes do not make a right, but
this will not deter the peoples
in these Near East countries
from basing their present con-
duct on some of the past actions
of other powers.
