Vote for Your Choice
Saturday . . . But VOTE!
August 28th—the second primary’s Election Day—
is the individual voter’s day. And no one can tell
him.how to cast his ballot.
One single vote—yours or your neighbor’s—can
mean all the difference. That lone ballot may look
pale against a million or so others. But you, or a
handful like you, can swing an election either way.
It’s happened before. Look at the record for that
magic one vote:
A proposed amendment to the Texas Constitution
providing state officials with a pay raise will be up
before the state’s citizens in November. It passed in
the Legislature by one vote.
Three presidents—Thomas Jefferson, Rutherford
B. Hayes and the second Adams—were elected by
one vote.
IWehn Hayes’ election was contested, he won by one
vote in special electoral commission balloting.
The man who cast the deciding vote for Hayes had
been elected to Congress from Indiana by one vote—
and that one cast by a man who demanded to be
taken from his sick bed to the polls. (Sick Texans can
vote absentee.) *
A second proposed amendment to the Constitution
which voters will pass on November passed by one
vote in the Senate, one in the House.
World War II’s draft legislation—with the fate of
civilization swinging in .the balance—passed the na-
tional House by one vote.
Five states—including Texas—gained their state-
hood bv one vote.
Your one vote is the single most powerful instru-
ment for democracy in Texas August 28.

Cover Crops
Aid Offered
To Farmers
WASHINGTON. — Farmers In
drouth areas should hurry to
take advantage of the Federal
Government's offer to share the
cost of planting cover crops on
drouth-parched land, Agricul-
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson
has urged.
Under recent changes in the
agricultural conservation pro-
gram, drauth-area farmers may
lake part in the cost-sharing
plan designed to encourage the
planting of cover or green ma-
nure crops on land scheduled
to be removed from regular
crop production next year. The
government is prepared to pay
up to 50 per cent of the cost of
seedbed preparation, fertilizer,
iime and seed for establishing
cover crops on such land.
Although the main purpose of
this program is to provide pro-
tective cover, Benson reminded
the farmers that such crops al-
so can provide emergency win-
ter pasture for livestock.
“In many cases, this will be
the only home-grown roughage
available this winter and there-
fore could be extremely impor-
tant,” he added.
The Secretary also advised
farmers to order their forage
seed early because of an expect-
ed shortage and to seed emer-
gency pasture crops, such as
wheat, barley and oats as soon
as rains come. He recalled that
many parts of the 1953 drouth
area had good wheat grazing
last year during the fall and
winter.

Bonds Do Not
Increase Tax
Says Council
The city council met in reg-

gave a green light to prepara-
tion for a vote on a hospital
bond issue. Mr. R. G. Day, a
representative of Kauscher,
Pierce and Co., Inc., investment
securities of Dallas was present
to explain the tax bond, issue.
No Raise in Taxes
The council explained that
no raise in taxes would.___be
made as the tax bonds could
be taken care of out of the
present tax structure. In other
words a person would still pay
the same tax he pays now,
whether the bonds were voted
or not. ,
Remodeling Needed
The Teague City Hospital is
in great need of repair and en-
larging. Aside from the repair-
ing it is proposed to add one

kitchen and five patient rooms.

Corn Yields Better
Than Expected
In Freestone County
Arthur Gilliam, Cedar Commu-
nity farmer, said "1 will prob-
ably make more corn than I
have ever made before,’ all
this in spite of the drouth. The
same goes'for Clive Gilliam, R.
E. Sartor, Sherman Smith, An-
drew Mora and several other
farmers in the Cedar Communi-
ty. Most of these men credit
their improved production to
the use of hybrid com, more
fertilizers and better manage-
ment of the land. An, extra rain
at the right time also contri-
buted to the higher yields.
Lon Eppes, Weldon Wren, C.
C. Thompson, and Tommy
Oakes are getting better yields
than expected. Tracy Moore of
the Shanks Community reports
a good yield in spite of the
drouth.
Most farmers say they don’t
see how their corn plants
“stood up” and produced so
well with, in most cases, no
rains after the first 12 days of
May.
