The following article is food
for thought—for everyone!
"If management fails to appor-
tion the benefits of greater pro-
ductivity on a fair-sharing basis
among share owners, employees,
and customers; if labor takes all
of the productivity increases in
the form of higher wages; if gov-
ernment keeps increasing the tax
load without making sure that it
has first eliminated waste and ex-
travagance of its present tax re-
venues — there won't be any-
thing left for anybody. There
isn’t any bottomless bucket of
gold in this economy or any oth-
er economy — and if we all don't
realize that, and work together,
we will end up with a depression
that will make 1929 look like a
picnic."

Cotton is still recognized
one of the main source of agri-
cultural income in Austin Coun-
ty. In 1961 the cotton producers
of Austin county again have the
responsibility of either planting
or releasing their 1961 farm cot-
ton acreage allotments in order
to preserve the farm and county
history for future cotton allot-
ments. According to Roy Mein-
ecke. Chairman of the Austin
County ASC Committee, failure
of cotton farmers to cooperate
by either planting not less than
seventy-five per cent of their al-
lotment or releasing the acreage
that vvill not be planted can over
a jieriod of years materially re-
duce the county and farm allot-
ment. The cotton acreage that
is released will be reapportioned
to other county farmers who file
an application for an increase in
their 1961 a’.lo'ment A farmer ,,f his life,
must plant some cotton one
year nut of three in < rder to re-
tain it* eligibility a- an old cot-
ton allotment farm.
Fanners are urged to visit the
ASC office in Bellville on or be-
fore Feb.24. l'»61. to release their
cotton acreage that will not be
planted.
Farmers who desire an in-
creas? iu their l‘*61 tarm cotton
acreage allotment should visit
tiie county office on or before
Feb. 24,1961 to file an a; plicat-
ion for ar. increase.
Mr. Meinecke urges all cotton
farmers to cooperate in this pro-
gram lothat the maximum cot
ton aerr/gv history credit may
be rvtamed for Austrn County
Cotton farmers.
Guilty pleas were heard in Dis-
trict Court in Bellville, Monday,
