Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Petru
Sunday, May 17 to observe Mrs.
Petru’s birthday anniversary.
The party was planned as a
complete surprise and w’hen
Mrs. Petru arrived home, after
a visit with Mrs. Joe Petru,
found a deliciously prepared
barbecue dinner with all the
trimmings and iced drinks
placed on a table centered with
an attractive birthday cake.
Dinner and supper was serv-

Frankie Filipp operates a
livestock farm in the Lavaca
Soil Conservation District. This
farm is located 5 miles west of
Moulton. Cooperator Filipp re-
ports that his farm pond has
been constructed. He was as-
sisted by Soil Conservation
Service technicians in locating
a pond site, soils determina-
tions, and staking of the pond.
The pond was constructed with
a bulldozer. Filipp will use this
pond to provide an adequate
water supply for his livestock;'
He believes (better distribution
of grazing will be obtained on
his pasture since the
located approximately
center of the pasture.
Albert Bonorden, a
cooperator whose farm is lo-
cated 5 miles south of Halletts-
ville, has recently constructed
a farm pond. Although he has
several watering places on his
farm, he needed this pond to
keep his livestock from having
to go a great distance to water.
This will also help him in dis-
tribute his grazing. Technicians
of the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice, assisting the Lavaca Soil
Conservation District, helped
Bonorden with his conservation
plan, and part of the financial
assistance for the construction
of his pond was made by the

Dwelling fires account for ap-
proximately one half of the
total number of building fires
that occur annually in the Unit-
ed States. *
There are about <50,000
building fires every year in the
United States, and approxi-
mately 250,000 of these fires
occur in dwellings. t
In Texas, dwelling fires ac-
count for more than one half of
the total number of building
fires that occur annually.
In Texas, every year, there
are about 11,000 building fires,
and approximately 6,000 (more
than half) occurred in dwell-
ings.

Democratic problems, tax prob-

problems, speech-makin prob-

tell you, plowin has politics
beat all to pieces as recreation.
But even if I don’t play golf
myself, I’d like to suggest that
more political leaders in Texas
ought to brush up on the game.
Nobody knows when one of em

a little golf-playin ability might

CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
9th TEXAS DISTRICT
May 28, 1953
Dear Neighbors:
Agricultural legislation con-
tinued to hold the spotlight in
Congress this week, especially
for those Members like myself
who represent predominantly
agricultural districts. We had
our hands full with committee
hearings, floor debates in the
House, and a few calls on the
Executive Departments sand-
wiched in between.
Our Committee reported out
the bill authorizing the Exten-
sion Service to keep on with its
4-H Club, home demonstration,
and county agents’ work. As
one
legislation, I expect to work
closely with the Chairman and
the other members to get it
passed by the House, which
ought to come early in June.
The Farm Credit bill, in
which a good many of our peo-
ple are deeply interested, is
still under active consideration
by the Committee. Those of us
who believe that control should
be entirely in the hands of the
farmers are meeting obstacles
from the Administration folks,
who want it left in the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. We are
trying to work out some kind
of compromise on this point.
Hearings on President Eisen-
hower’s plan to reorganize the
Department of Agriculture were
held this week by the House
The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner, is talking about
something he doesn’t know any-
thing about this week, again.
Dear editar:
I was out here on my farm
yesterday thinkin about wheth-
er I ought to take up golf, just
in case I ran into President
Eisenhower, and I got to thin-
kin about the practice he has
established of not tellin his
score, and I want you to know
I approve of it.
People talk too
ask too many
questions. Some
body is always
askin me if I’m
through plowin
yet, and as far
as I’m
cerned
personal ques-
tion, like how
much money you got in the
bank, and from now on me and
Eisenhower are gonna follow
the same pattern, with him not
tellin his golf score and me not
tellin the status of my plowin.
Another question I don’t go
for is, how much cotton you got
planted this year? I got the
same amount of cotton I plant-
ed in 1939, and it’s still in the
ground as far as I know as it
hasn’t come up yet. People
seem to forget that farmin and
golfin are pretty much the
same, you do both for the ex-
ercise, and if you don’t feel like
either one today you can put it
off till tomorrow and that’s
your business, at least that’s the
way I look at farmin and I
suppose it’s the way Eisenhow-
er looks at golfin. I don’t think
he looks at the Presidency that
way, but that’s the advantage
of livin out here over havin to
live in the White House.
Out here, about all the prob-
lems I got are domestic prob-
lems, but every mormn when
temporary grazing. He said “My
cattle stay on the clover from
about 4:00 p. m. until 9:00 a. m.
each day.” Sustr believes in
uxxc wvax cuxxuunu. usin§ clover because it adds or-
passed by the House for the! ganic .matter and nitrogen to
regular activities of the Depart-I so^’ Plus offering good tem-
ment is $24 million less than ’ P°rary grazing for his Here-
the amount spent last year. Now
the bill goes to the Senate, and
if that body makes any changes, I
it will be referred to a con-!
ference committee of the two
houses to work out the differ-
ences. But in any event, it is a
safe bet that substantial econo-
mies will be effected.
Sincerely your friend,
CLARK W. THOMPSON

week, we had a real battle over
