A lot of things must be decided
iy the CCC before the new cotton
crop of Choice “A” and “B” starts
to move . . . “A” cotton must be
supported at 80% of parity, cata-
loged and offered for sale at 110%
of “B” support and the law says
She CCC must “own” it before it’s
resold . . . what’ll this mean to the
cotton buyer??? . . . especially
£&e country buyers and ginners
•who traditionally buy much of the
cotton passing through their gins
» . . taxpayers would have a size-
able saving, we’re sure, if the pres-
ent marketing system were utilized
•fcy the CCC . . . officials of the
CCC seem to agree . . . but it does
present problems . . . however,
-since the current marketing sys-
tem was developed 'by stiff com-
-petition over many years and
moves cotton to manufacturer at
unbelieveably low cost, it’s an
excellent bet that the government
won't be able to devise a system
-that's any better ... or half as
good ... as both* farmer and tax-
payer you better hope the present
marketing system will be retained.
New Grader
A leading cotton merchant is
trying out an electronic cotton
grader . . . anyone can operate it
with five minutes instruction . . .
you just offer it a sample of cot-
ton . . . the machine looks at it
and prints the result within 10
seconds . . . tells you everything
you need to know except staple . . .
however, don’t look for one in your
neighborhood any time soon . . .
it’s still experimental . . . but it
is the shadow of things to come . . .
mass use could be another step
in reducing cost of cotton to the
manufacturer.
Better Off?
The Agriculture Department
says the fanner will have the
highest income In history by the
time the new year rolls in . . .
if the figures are right (and we’ll
get some argument here) the an-
nual per capita income of farmers
will top $1000.
How Much “A” and “B”?
A couple of editors we know
have completed polls among farm-
ers as to how much Choice “A”
and “B” cotton will be planted next
year . . . results of one showed,
roughly, 35% favored “A” and
65% favored “B” . . . other poll
indicated, roughly, 65% favored
“A” and 35% favored “B” . . .
this information helped us make
up our mind on the question: You
just can’t tell.

The new county judge will
have his hands full when he
takes office along with other
county officials Jan. 1. Among
other problems he will inherit
will be a docket full of DWI
cases badly in need of attention.
Only this week highway pa-
trolmen filed the fourth DWI
charge against a driver who has
yet to see the inside of a court
room. This mockery of law will
cease when the dockets are
cleared as they should be.

Merchants report an increas-
ing briskness in Christmas shop-
ping, and I look for much bet-
ter business in January and
February than we had last year.
Farmers made so much more
net profits out of their crops this
year. Last year they would
have been just as well off if
they had left some of the low
grade cotton in the field.
—Wellington Leader.

“It’s the first time in my
life that I made a good wheat
crop, a good maize crop and a
good cotton crop all in the same
year.” That's the statement of
a local farmer heard here re-
cently. Seems like this has
been an unusually good year for
farmers — high yields, early
harvesting, high quality. Of
course, part of the good crop
can be attributed to better
farming practices. Local farm-
ers are improving their prac-
tices each year. When a bale
per acre of cotton was deemed
very good at one time, now
yields of two bales or more are
not unusual. May the improve- j
ment continue.
—Lockney Beacon.

President Eisenhower has sug-
gested lengthening high school
a couple of years.
Perhaps local science teacher
L. A. Garner has an adequate
counter proposal in suggesting
that everyone buckle down and
make the most of time children
are now in school.
Today, a boy generally grad-
uates from high school at 18.
Add two more years of high
school and he’s 20. Another four
years of college and he’s 24.
Two years of military service
makes 26.
Now in our age, it takes a
master’s and often a doctor’s de-
gree to get a looksee at many
professions. Dentists, pharma-
cists, geologists, lawyers, soon
perhaps school teachers, need
the added work.
Undersea First Aid
Wm
m
Don’t be confused by this pic-
ture. This first aid kit isn’t
really made to treat underwater
injuries. It is the first 100%
waterproof kit designed especi-
ally for the conditions and ac-
cident patterns of the petroleum
industry.
Manufactured by the E. D.
Bullard Company, it is a com-
plete emergency first aid station
for 15 men in the field . . . yet
it weighs only five pounds. In
it are many of the latest develop-
ments in emergency treatments,
such as: First On Burns, the
new antiseptic burn spray that
almost instantly takes pain from
burned areas, and Hexachlor-
ophene Antiseptic Soap, used in
operating rooms of the nation’s
leading hospitals.
All unit first aid packets are
electronically sealed in clear
polyethylene bags to protect
them against dust and moisture.
Liquids are impact-protected in
plastic bottles.
Complete information on the
only first aid kit designed for
the petroleum industry is avail-
able at local oil field supply
stores or by writing E. D. Bullard
Company, Sausalito, California.
A doctor’s degree adds an al-
most absolute minimum of four
years to a lad’s education. So,
he’s 30 when he gets it. He’s 30
years old and has only the hot-
house experience of the school-
room and army experience,
which makes boys out of men.
Added to this, he’s invested a
staggering sum in education and
usually emerges under the false
impression that the world owes
him a living. His parents are
impoverished.
Let’s get rid of driftwood in
our present educational pro-
gram, give some healthy home-
work assignments, de-empha-
size campusology and one-arm-
driving and not lengthen edu-
cation requirements more than
necessary.

BMIKSOILF WRSTKNCIIS
Many thanks to all. of the
farmers and ranchers for all the
good conservation work com-
pleted during this year of 1958.
We should likewise all be
truly thankful for the bountiful
crop year, as we observe this
Yuletide season, for all of our
accomplishments and for the
help from all sources that made
it possible.
Remember how dry it can get
here and how bad our fields
can blow. Let's leave all the
cover crop we can, ask the good
Lord above for much needed
rain and not forget that this
land is God's land.
