AT THE FAIR
During the last month or so,
state and county fairs have been
held throughout the length and
breadth of the country. These
fairs are a great American in-
stitution that has its roots
in the pioneer days. Everybody,
spectators and contestants alike,
has a great time at the fair.
Livestock is always a leading
attraction. The magnificent
animals of the present represent
a great advance over those of
the past. Through selective
breeding and scientific feeding,
animals producing quality meat
have been very materially im-
proved.
The farmers and ranchers of
the United States, aided by the
agricultural colleges and county
agents, have worked hard and
effectively to build the great
livestock industry—which, in-
cidentally, brings the farmer
much more cash income than
any other crop or product. They
have been substantially helped
in* this by $he 4,000 packers serv-
ing the nation. The packing in-
dustry has a very direct interest
in the quality of livestock. The
top grades naturally have the
FISHING WITH HANDS
VIOLATES STATE LAW
Raymond R. Cole of Gaines,
Pa., last month learned the hard
way that non-commercial fishing
in Pennsylvania must be done
with hook and line, says Path-
finder news magazine.
Cole happened to catch a 28-
inch trout with his bare hands.
He had it mounted, displayed
it proudly in a tavern, told all
comers about his fluke-feat.
Conservation officers heard the
story. Cole was hauled into
court, discovered that catching
fish with your hands is likely—
as it did in his case—to cost
$20 per fish.
readiest market—and the market
which is most profitable from
agriculture’s point of view. These
grades also provide the highest
proportion of dressed meat in
relation to the live weight of the
animal.
Every fafr offers a thousand
enticements—from the hot dog
stand to the harness races and
the cooking contests. The live-
stock exhibits are one of the
oldest and best.

Savings Bonds To Farmers, Ranchers
The value of financial re-
serves in farming and ranching
operations will be emphasized
in a special effort to sell U. S.
Savings Bonds to farmers and
ranchers of Texas this fall,
Nathan Adams, state Savings
Bonds chairman, announced to-
day.
The program is now getting
started with the cooperation of
the major state and federal
agricultural agencies, Adams
said, and will extend into all
of Texas’ 254 counties. He said
it would continue through Oc-
tober and possibly well into No-
vember.
Nearly all of the 385,000 farm
and ranch families in the state
will receive letters and printed
literature about Savings Bonds.
Adams said that the mailing
lists of county agricultural
agents and county representa-
tives of the Production and Mar-
keting Administration (PMA),
the Production Credit Corpora-
tion. (PCC), and the National
Farm Loan Association (NFLA)
are being utilized to achieve
virtually 100 percent distribution
in rural areas.
Adams said that other ac-
tivities in the program will in-
clude distribution of 25,000 to
30,000 posters for display in
banks, cotton gins, hardware
and implement stores, and other
places where farmers meet or
transact business; distribution of
special literature to vocational
agriculture students; and supple-
mental projects to be under-
taken by various agricultural
and livestock associations.

powerful aid for proper man-
Lumber Production
Dipped 5 Percent
Lumber production in Texas
dipped 5 per cent in July from
June, reports from the Southern
Pine Association to the Uni-
versity of Texas Bureau of Busi-
ness Research showed.
Compared with July 1948, pro-
duction of lumber dropped 23
per cent.
Lumber shipments decreased
6 per cent in July from the
previous month and 14 per cent
from July a year ago.
Gross stocks at the end of
July were 1 per cent below June,
but 8 per cent above the like
period a year earlier.

linquency.—Pathfinder.

agement of a business,” Adams
said, “and farmers and ranch-
ers need such a reserve for their
business just as much as do
the merchant or manufacturer.
“We want the farmer and
rancher to become as well ac-
quainted as the city man with
the value of Savings Bonds as
the means for acquiring fin-
ancial security. Agriculture has
always been a hazardous busi-
ness, subject to sudden disasters
such as flood, drouth, epidemic
in the livestock, or a sharp
break in commodity prices. The
farmer or stockman who builds
a strong financial reserve for
himself by investing in Savings
Bonds during the good years
protects himself against these
emergencies.
“If emergencies fail to de-
velop, his cash reserves are still
available for buying more land,
expanding production, replacing
old 'buildings and equipment,
home improvement, education of
his children, or comfortable re-
tirement in old age.”

EASY POLIO TEST
WAS PAIN IN NECK
The way to diagnose polio, a
friend told 19-year-old Bernard
Loughery of Philadelphia, is by
touching the chest with the chin.
If you can do it, the friend
said, you’re all right.
Last week a stenographer in
the office where Loughery works
came down with the disease.
That afternoon a frantic Lough-
ery rushed to the doctor: he
couldn’t touch his chest with his
chin.
The doctor checked and came
up with his diagnosis: sprained
neck muscles acquired during a
day of anxious testing.—Path-
finder News Magazine.
