Peace Corps Plans
The Peace Corps, which came
into being on March 1, 1961
with the issuance of an Execu-
tive order by President Kenne-
dy, is in operation. Applications
are being accepted.
The Corps, according to V. G.
Young, state agricultural Agent
for the Texas Extension Service,
represents an opportunity for
individual citizens to work di-
rectly with people of other
countries to provide economic,
social, or educational assistance
and to further the cause of
peace through personal rela-
tions and the development of
mutual understanding.
He adds there is much simi-
larity between the Corps and
the International Farm Youth
Exchange which has been a
part of the 4-H Club program
in the nation since 1949. This
interest in such programs has
brought local county extension
service agents into the picture,
says Young.
The agents now have suffi-
cient information on the pro-
gram, according to Young, to
answer most questions from in-
terested persons. Young advises
persons interested in getting
more information and the de-
tails on how the Corps will
operate to contact the local
county extension office.'
Fence Posts Major
Farm Item; Use
Care in Selection
A mile of good fence costs
about $500, and a major item jn
this investment is the posts. For
this reason, advises Bill Smith,
extension forester, posts need to
be selected with care.
Commercial pressure-treated
pine posts provide a sound in-
vestment. They will give su-
perior service at the lowest cost
per year of effective life of the
fence.
Some landowners may reduce
their fencing costs by the home
treatment of pine fence posts.
This material may come from
their own timberlands in the
form of thinnings, he said.
The recommended preserva-
tive for home-treavment is pen-
tachlorophenol. This chemical
may be mixed with fuel oil to
make the solution in which the
posts are soaked. This method
is known as cold-soaking and
can be satisfactorily used only
on pine. Some woods such as
cedar, mulberry, bois d’arc, and
locust are naturally durable
and do not require treatment.

Once again Crosbyton comes
to that time of the year when
it must bid its seniors goodbye.
It is always both a happy and
sad occasion as the young peo-
ple complete their high school
careers, then prepare to go to
college, find work, get married,
or go to the armed services. Ev-
eryone concerned is happy be-
cause these seniors have suc-
cessfully completed the first
major milestone in their life’s
careers. We are sad because
so very few of these youngsters
will ever again consider Crosby-
ton their home. Like most small
towns, we are losing our young
people because there is nothing
to hold them here.
We don’t lose all of them, of
course. Some of the young men
remain or return home after col-
lege to assist or take over the
family farm or business. A few
others find jobs on their own,
and some of the girls marry
and settle down in the home
town. Within a few years after
graduation, however, very few
of the class will be around be-
cause the opportunities just
aren’t here.
There seems to be no imme-
diate solution to such a prob-
lem. Growth and industry are
the only things that will give
these young people the oppor-
tunity in Crosbyton they de-
serve, and these do not come
overnight for most towns. But
we can keep plugging away at
the effort to improve our city
and attract industry in order
that we might keep more of our
own at home. This alone is
enough to justify all our ef-
forts to make Crosbyton a bet-
ter place in which to live.

The ultra liberals down at
Austin have had their sights on
Representative W. S. Heatly of
Paducah for a long time. The
Texas Observer recently referred
to Heatly as that “18th Century
Tory.” A lot of folks down there,
including the liquor industry
would like to send Heatly home.
He’s the proverbial thorn in
their side.
The latest push on redistrict-
ing the state (at least this sec-
tion of the state) we interpret
partly as a move to get rid of
Heatly. If this area permits this
to happen we will be the loser.
If the redistricting bill is
passed that means we will have
just half as much representa-
tion. We have not always a-
greed with Heatly on all issues
any more than Hardeman Coun-
ty farmers who opposed him on
his stand on the REA bill. But
notwithstanding, we believe he
is doing an excellent job repre-
senting his district and legislat-
ing for the best interests of
Texas.

The heartwood or generally
darker colored center is the dur-
able portion of these woods. The
sapwood or lighter colored por-
tion is not durable and will
readily decay, the forester said.
Make certain, he emphasized,
that posts from these woods
have a high percentage of
heartwood, otherwise they are a
poor investment.
Information on treating pine
fence posts by the cold-soak
method may be obtained by
contacting county agents or
Texas Forest Service district
foresters in the East Texas area
or by writing to Smith at Texas
A&M College, College Station.
