of seed sold.”
“I urge all purchasers of
ton seed to exercise every
caution and care. The facilities
of our seed laboratories are a-
vailable to all Texas farmers.
A little discretion at this time
in demanding to know the ger-
mination percentage of the seed
will eliminate disappointment
in stands as well as time, mo-
ney and possible loss of crops,"
Commissioner White said.
Since the days of Stephen F. Austin more than a century
ago, Texas has been a land of new opportunity. It should prove
to be that for the 104 war refugees arriving from Europe, twen-
ty-four of them live in Dallas. Uprooted from their-old homes
by the ravages of war or the specter of Red terrorism, these
people look for a new start here. Each has a sponsor here, but all
w ill .need encouragement in a strange-land.
The new arrivals will not have to keep a sharp lookout for
Indian marauders, as did Austin’s courageous settlers. Yet they
should have more than freedom from the tomahawk. Everyone
who comes in contact with them can help them to like Texas. We
can show them that Texas is indeed a land of promise. We can
make them happy to be in a land of good cheer, neighborliness
and fair dealing.
Well the ghost of prohibi-
tion appeared in Austin Wed-
nesday. A hearing by a com-
mittee considered a prohibition
amendment, but promptly killed
it. The drys will continue their
fight for their cause, but at
this time it looks as though
the State of Texas will remain
wet for some time to come.

While we cast no reflection a-
gainst anyone for
his democratic right
prohibitionist, it is
brought out now that there are
two" definite groups in favor
of prohibition. One group is the
regular prohibitionists, and the
other is made up of an element
of bootleggers and rum run-
ners.

Commissioner of Agriculture
John C. White expressed alarm
over cotton, planting seed in
Tqxas and urged farnters • *o
exercise extreme caution when
making purchases.
“It has been known for some
time that a shortage of cotton
seed existed for the 1951 goal
of 11,000,000 acres," Commis-
sioner White stated. “Quality
seed were booked early and
supplies completely exhausted.
Texas seed stocks were supple-
mented by what amounts could
be purchased from other states’
and much of this seed has
come in labeled below standard
for germination or aproxima-
tely 60 per cent."

While in several other states
in the past two or three years,
we saw the sale of whiskey in
small “jiggers” over the coun-
ter. That way it wasn’t neces-
sary for anyone to buy a whole
bottle. If the state is to stay
wet, there is no reason why
whiskey could not be sold the
same way in Texas. As far as
we’re concerned, it doesn’t have
any personal bearing upon us
one way or the other, but
when one considers the whole
issue, it looks like Texas would
be better off if we stayed wet.

TEXAN WISHES
FOR NO RETURN
OF SWALLOWS
Edinburg, Texas, March
26. J. A. Tiffin wishes the swal-
lows would go back to Capis-
trano.
The birds started going down
his chimney Sunday night. They
went in flights of dozens and
hundreds. He clawed out an
estimated 400 to 500 d u r i ng
the night.
Game Warden Bill Stewart
came to help. Stewart tried to
chase the birds out by sending
smoke and gas up the chimney.
That chased Stewart ou t.
But not the birds.
Then Tiffin sealed the top of
the chimney and Stewart got a
gas mask and went back to the
attack.
We are being told that we must prepare, for Russia will at-
tack. In other words, she will not attack us unprepared but ra-
ther until we get good and ready. This is not so easy to believe. 1
Then we are assured Russia will not make war now, nor
soon. This for a very good reason. She has satellite armies. But
there are too many men ready for a revolt at the first chance, i
So Russia cannot depend on them, as U. S. News & World Re- 1
port points out. *
Russia’s armies would have to invade Western Europe. Yet
in Eastern Europe, close to Russia, since 1945, some 150,000 Rus-
sian soldiers have deserted. It would be worse farther away from
the homeland. They were deserting wholesale in the last war, until
Hitler started to treat Russian people as if they were enslaved.
Russia’s greatest strength is in her fifth column of spies,
traitors and all those of similar thinking. The modern paganism
produced communism, as well as nazism. And there, in this
paganism, is also Russia’s chief strength. -Even should Russia
and communism be wiped out, this cause of communism remains.

Also in our State legislature
is a proposal to make it com-
pulsory for every automobile
driver to take out public lia-
bility insurance. The way it is
there is no protection for a dri-
ver if he is injured and his car
is wrecked by—someone- who
does not have this insurance.
The legislature, though, should
make this insurance as cheap
as possible, so everyone can af-

“In the United States, the cen-
sus of a very few years ago
showed that there were still
53% of the people of the United
States without any religion. We
are glad that we are accomplish-
ing great work in bringing more
people in religion. It would be
a great thing if this country
could turn entirely Christian,
and its people belong to some
Christian church", the speaker
said.
“These are serious times with
Communism threatening to de-
stroy all our Christian prin-
ciples. The Knights of Columbus
will intensify their fight a-
gainst Communism. It is strik-
ing to note, that in the U. S.
in 1947 there were more Com-
munists than there were in
Russia at the time the Reds
took that country over.
(“But, considering the evils, I
have this to say: How right a
spark of righteousness shines
in the darkness of evil.”

In summing up the meetings,
it was found that the groups
in general felt their farms
should produce more livestock
per acre. It was also the opin-
ion of the groups that this
could be obtained through an
increased acreage of oats, rye,
and clover in the fall and win-
ter, and sudan in the summer.
Much interest was shown to-
ward an increased use of in-
secticides on cotton in 1951,
and the groups felt that each
producer should watch crops
closely and apply tfie necessary
control measures.
