“ Area Opinion Sampler -
Ever feel helpless? Unable
to figure out what to do in a
situation where you feel some-
thing should be done?
Late Saturday afternoon,
while watching traffic roll by
in front of the newspaper of-
fice, we almost jumped out of
our chair when a late model
station wagon passed with a
ladies bag, or purse, laying on
top of the car on the passen-
ger’s side.
As the car drove north on
the east side of the square, we
expected any moment to see
the bag slide off the top of the
car.
Looking up and down the
street with the idea of hailing
any passing car, it was our
luck that none came by, as the
station wagon continued on
around the north side, then
headed south.
Our last view of the car, with
the purse still on its top, was
when the vehicle stopped brief-
ly at the traffic light on - the
southwest corner of the square,
then took off south on Highway
277.
Momentarily, we thought of
calling some service station on
the south outskirts, but dismiss-
ed the idea, since the time in-
volved in explaining the situa-
tion would give the car time
to get halfway to The Strip. As
a final step, we settled by no-
tifying the sheriffs department,
thinking occupants of the sta-
tion wagon might report the
loss to officers if contents of
the purse or bag justified. .

Game Wardens To
Get New Titles
After September 1
An old title in conservation
and law enforcement in Texas
will fade into history after Sep-
tember 1, with the reorganiza-
tion of the Game and Fish
Commission. In the future,
wardens will be known as “con-
servation officers.” I n some
states where this title is used,
the name has been shortened
to “conservators.”
The title of warden is a
handy name, easy to remember.
The name of conservation of-
ficer denotes a little more tlje
real duties of the enforcement
men.
There are approximately 200
of these uniformed officers in
the employ of the Game Com-
mission. They started out
strictly as law enforcement of-
ficers, but as times have chang-
ed and thinking progressed,
they have been much more.
They spend much more time
on prevention of violations than
in actually making arrests, ac-
cording to Howard Dodgen, exe-
cutive secretary.
“Their work is broad,” he
said. “They help landowners
develop wildlife programs, they
work constantly with biologists
and appear before service clubs
and other organized groups.
The change in title, therefore,
won’t be a change in their work
program.
“As wardens they have done
a great job. As conservation of-
ficers their work will continue
for the benefit of all renewable
resources.”

In renewing his request for
an increase in postal rates a
few days ago, President Ken-
nedy recommended a sensible
way of making a substantial
reduction' in the Treasury deficit
for the coming fiscal year. Be-
ginning with Franklin D. Roose-
velt, Mr. Kennedy’s predecessors
tried to persuade Congress to
eliminate operating deficits in
the Post Office Department, but
without success. It will be in-
teresting to see whether Mr.
Kennedy’s recommendations will
be any better received than
were similar proposals from
previous chief executives.
It is true, of course, that in
the past number of years postal
rates have been increased until
it now requires four cents to
do the work formerly performed
by two cents. In reality, how-
ever, the increases were never
designed to put the postal serv-
ice on a self-supporting basis.
All they did was absorb some
of the increased costs of op-
eration, with the result that an-
nual deficts in the Post Office
Department have remained con-
stant for many years.
—Vernon Daily Record.
When one declares himself
with a particular party he
should go all the way and sup-
port the candidate of the party
regardless of personality, church
affiliation, etc.
When one declares himself
an independent, he’s more in-
terested in votion for the man
and what the man says he
stands for. Our schools are
teaching this method of voting
in government and civics class-
es.
Individuals who are joining
the Republican party should
take into consideration whether
or not it will be conservative
Barry Goldwater or liberal Rock-
efeller who will be the Repub-
lican’s choice for 1964.
On the other hand it’s pretty
early to decide whether or not
Kennedy has made a good or
bad president when he still has
3% years of service.

COTTON INSECT
SITUATION
IN TEXAS
Weldon H. Newton
and
R. L. Hanna
Cotton was maturing rapidly
in all sections. First bales were
picked and ginned in at least
five blacklands counties, the
northernmost being Cooke Coun-
ty on the Red River Boll weevils
and bollworms continued to be
the main problems in all except
the High Plains and Trans-
Pecos areas. About 10 per cent
of the state’s cotton has been
harvested.
Boll weevil infestations were
generally light to moderate, but
a few heavy infestations were
found in Cottle and King coun-
ties. Bollworm populations were
low with only occasional fields
requiring treatment.
Test Soils Now
For Fall Crops
During the months of May
and June, Texas farmers sub-
mitted 1,149 soil samples to the
Agricultural Extension Service
Soil Testing Laboratories, re-
ports William F. Bennett, ex-
tension soil chemist. The larg-
est number of samples was
submitted to the laboratory at
College Station, the second
highest to the High Plains lab-
oratory, and the least to the
Baylor County lab.
Bennett points out that the
Extension Service maintains
these laboratories for Tex^is
farmers to use in determining
their fertilizer and limestone
needs, Bennett says the $2.00
spent on a soil test is the most
important money spent in a
fertilizer program.
The chemist closes by saying
that farmers who are planning
fall crops should submit their
soil samples now. This will
insure receiving the analysis in
time to apply the needed fer-
tilizer.
