FARMING INDUSTRY NEEDS farm.
A GOOD PRESS AGENT
The term “publicity man” had
a bad ring to the ears of the
average farmer. Nevertheless,
no other segiment of our economy
has had such adverse publicity
in the past two years as our farm
people.
Most farmers would be repell-
ed by the idea that an “outsider”
should champion his cause with
the people of the nation. A farm-
er prides himself on being a rug-
ged individualist — the man sup-
porting the basic structure of our
national economy. He prefers
to make his own way, grow his
crops, care for his land and make
a little money, without outside
interference.
But in these days of complex
interdependence of one industry
on another, rugged individual-
ism is slowly becoming a thing
of the past. The farmer needs
someone to tell his story to the
city people. He needs someone
to explain that high prices today
don’t necessarily start on the

They are largely the re-
sult of increased cost in trans-
portation, processing and market-
ing of farm goods.
Even some of our national
farm leaders have contributed to
the distorted idea that high farm
prices are the main factor in the
present high cost of living. What
is the true story?
During the past four years, the
price the farmer has received for
his produce has decreased 24%.
Yet the cost of foodstuffs has not
decreased in a like amount. A
loaf of bread still costs the same
although wheat prices have drop-
ped drastically. This fact is true
of most other commodities which
originated on the land.
City people have been sold the
idea that the farmer is responsi-
ble. They have been told that
high support prices mean burden-
some demands on their salaries
for needed foodstuffs. Yet how
much of this 24 per cent drop in
farm prices was past on to them
in food dollar savings? About
one-half of one per cent.

More rain is needed in the
mesquite country this spring for
aerial applications of herbicides
to give good kills of mesquite.
Moisture and timeliness of ap-
plication are of major import-
ance. Mesquites should be
sprayed when the plants are in
full-leaf, usually 50 to 80 days
after the first leaves show up in
the spring.

LEGAL COLUMN
Prepared By State Bar
CONTRACTS MAY BE FORMAL4
OR INFORMAL
The word “contract” ordinarily
brings to mind a formal, written
document signed with pomp and
ceremony. The use of that word
to describe our daily transactions
with the grocer, the plumber, the
newspaperboy or the baby sitter
would seldom occur to any of us.
Yet most contracts arise out of
such daily transactions and only
a small percentage of the con-
tracts made are even written.
What then is a contract? It
is merely an agreement in which
two or more persons (or com-
panies or organizations) bind
themselves to do or not to do
certain acts. Each acquires a
right to have the other person
keep his promises.
For example, the boy next door
asks if he may cut your grass for
a dollar. You say, “All right, go
ahead.” The two of you have
entered into a contract whereby
he promises to cut your grass
and in return you promise to pay
him a dollar.
The signing of a sales slip,
ordering goods on a charge ac-
count in a downtown store, is the
formation of a contract, though
we seldom refer to it as such.
A few contracts, however, by
state law must be in writing in
order to bind the parties. For
instance, contracts for the trans-
fer of real estate.
It would be impractical for you
to require that every contract
you enter into be drawn up in
written form. However, when-
ever you are engaged in business
transactions of any importance
you should insist that all the
terms of the agreement be put
in writing and signed, because it
is often most difficult to prove
unwritten agreements.
You will often be requested to
sign written contracts, all or parts
of which have been prepared by
the other party. There are two
cardinal rules to apply in such
cases:
First, do not sign a contract un-
til you have read and completely
understand all of its terms and
provisions. Of course, you should
never sign a contract on a form
which is not completely filled
out. Be careful of the person
who tries to convince you that
these precautions are unneces-
sary or that there isn’t enough
time.
Second, before you sign be sure
that every important promise or
provision to which you have
agreed is included. Do not be
misled into leaving something out
by a wav of the hand and a state-
ment that “Oh, we needn’t put
that in. it is understood.”
Failure to insert some import-
ant provision may make the en-
tire contract unenforceable be-
cause of vagueness. It may mean
that you may not be permitted
to prove or enforce that par-
ticular important provision not
inserted. Or it may mean that
the law will imply an agreement
on this point contrary to the one
actually agreed upon but left out
of the contract.
(This column, based on Texas
law, is written to inform—not to
advise. No person should ever
apply or interpret any law with-
out the aid of an attorney who
knows the facts because the facts
may change the application of
the law.)
