Co. Agent's Report
^ i. U, PRITCHARD ♦ 5 pr~“
^night, May 22, about Si
and ranchers met in the
Court Room in Fairfield
. to discuss methods of controlin*
T! * wards. It was brought out in
7 Dm meeting that buzzards have
■ IriWed at least 60 head of aslves
l:[ sad pigs over the county. Fred
-Hale of Oakwood reported that he
ks4 lost |8 calves from buzzards,
lhi total Dumber lost would prob-
J kkUy run much higher than 60 head
| if all were known abouj.
la the meeting it was decided to
I <«Mourage everyone to kill all the
I fciwssitls they1 can by any methods
| they can use.: Some people have
I the idea that it is against the law
1 to hill these birds, but this: law was
I taken off several years ago when
I it was discovered that they spread
I:'-diseasea among livestock. Sever-
| al people at the meeting are going
to build traps, some have already
done so, and others are baiting
traps that have been used in the
.paat We hope that this loss can
•be stopped.
COTTON INSECT CONTROL
DEMONSTRATION HELD
Wednesday afternoon, May 24, a
•eotton Insect control demonstra-
tion was held on the farm of Jes-
sie Myers, who lives between Dew
and Laaely. His cotton was in
the four leaf stage and Jessie has
a spray machine, purchased
through th« F&A.
Insects wens yrorking on his cot-
ton, as they are on most' cotton
throughout the county. Early
season control will really pay the
farmer if it is done properly and
at the right time. It is very im-
portant to stop the early season
control program by June 10 ii
der to give the beneficial
time to build up in order
fight the Boll Worm. Many faim-l
ers had a lot of trouble with Boll
Worms last yea* because they did
[not stop .^poispnjng by June 10.

What We Think
By FRANK DIXON
To me one of the most disturb-
ing things iq connection with the
conduct of our government today
is its apparent inability to reduce
the national debt. Rather we are
told, it will be increased this year
by five or six billion dollars. This
at a time when employment and
wages paid are at«n all time high.
Normally this might not be too
disturbing, but with a national
debt of 246 or more billion, if it
isn’t disturbing, it should be.
We are told that defense appro-
priations cannot be cut, the Army
appropriation cannot be reduced,
and the Navy appropriation can-
not be reduced without jeopard-
izing the safety of the nation.
I’ll grant that these budgets and
others cannot and should not be
reduced, and that we are, under
the circumstances, spending no
more than we should for these
purposes, but there is a multitude
of other expenditures which can
and should, in justice to all tax-
payers, and in line with common
sense, good housekeeping* and
sound financing, be reduced.
I will refer at this time to but
one instance. There are many like
this, and many much less defen-
sible. I refer tp a cook book which
was recently printed by the gov-
ernment printing office called
“Family Fare.” Around a million
copies were printed which were
turned over to the members of
Congress for distribution among
their constituent*.
The book is reported to have
cost $146,000. I know that in con-
nection with a 41 billion dollar
Budget a mere $146,000 seems a
matter almost too trivial to men-
impossihility. If this la true, have
any'of those in charge of Brand-
ing our resources stopped to fig-
ure what would be the result to
our economy of another war should
we enter i t under the .present bur-
den of debt ? To me it is a sobering
thought, and one that would
prompt, nay compel me, were I
in a position to do so, to cut out I
every unnecessary expense. I
would feel deeply two obligations,
one a sense of obligation toward
preserving-my country’s economic!
stability in a critical time. The
other a sense of stewardship in the
handling of tax money, *
virtue of my position in t_
ernment, might be entrusted^
care and oversight.

The primeval forests were ow i
heritags. Will coming generatWl
be proud of the forest heritage nil
are leaving them ?
I find myself wondering what
peculiar thing has possessed those
in charge of spending out tax
money. Has the association of big
spending caused them to lose their
sense of values? Don’t they realize
that this is all paid for out of tax
money paid through self-denial at
the point of legal compulsion ?
Have they no conscience ? Are
they incapable of management, or
don’t they care?
We are told that war is not an
