Vatican City, Oct. 27.—Pope Pius
XII said in his first encyclical Fri-
day that when the war ends the new
order of the world, national as well as
international, must rest not on “quick-
sands, depending only on the selfish
interests of groups or individuals, but
on natural law and divine revelation.”
In a part of his message, which
seemed aimed at such totalitarian
types of government as those of Nazi
Germany and Communist Russia, the
Pope warned that to consider the
state as something ultimate, subordi-
nating everything to it, could not fail
to harm the true, lasting prosperity of
nations.

County Agent Jack McCullough
asks publication of the following for
the benefit of farmers:
An acre of average cotton in Texas
has about 2400 pounds of stalks and
leaves.
This many pounds contain 40
pounds of nitrogen which is worth
$4.00 per acre.
If a farmer burns these stalks and
leaves this nitrogen is ENTIRELY
LOST to the soil.
There is also 7 pounds of phosphor-
us and 33 pounds of potash worth $2
per acre as fertilizer in cotton stalks.
These may not be lost by burning,
but they are left in such a state as to
be readily lost by leaching.
Cotton produced on land where the
stalks have been turned under will
average 10 pounds of lint more per
acre than cotton grown on land where
stalks have been burned. Experiments
have proven this.
The 2400 pounds of cotton stalks
and leaves per acre capable of form-
ing 800 pounds of humus as it decom-
poses. Most soils need humus.
Turned under cotton stalks help to
> hold the soil. They prevent wash-
ing. Stalks should be chopped up with
a stalk cutter while the stalks are-
still green so they will rot.
Not a single acre of cotton stalks
should be burned this fall and winter,
because if they are you burn up $6.00
worth of fertilizer per acre, you de-
stroy 800 pounds of humus -which is
badly needed, you decrease the water
holding capacity of your soil, you
help to wash away your land, and you
destroy 10 pounds of lint cotton per
acre. Mr. Landowner, think this over
before you make any plans to burn
your cotton stalks this fall.

errors in an agnosticism existing in
the world today.
“The first is forgetfulness of the
law of human solidarity and charity,’’
he said. “The second lies in ideas by
which there is no hesitation in divorc-
ing civil authority from dependence
on the supreme being.
“Once the authority of Gad is de-
nied then civil authority tends to as
sume absolute autonomy, which be-
longs exclusively to the supreme
maker.’
Can Attain Success
It was quite true, he said, that ar-
rogant or despotic power “based on
such weak and unsteady foundations
can attain at times under chance cir-
cumstances material successes apt to
arouse wonder in superficial observ-
ers.”
There was a word for Germany also
in the Pope’s reference to Poland—
“Our dear Poland, which on account
of its fidelity to the church has a
right to the generous, brotherly sym-
pathy of the whole world while it
awaits the hour of resurrection in har-
mony with the principles of justice
and true peace.’’
The Pope said that he, in the ful
fillment of his apostolic duty, would
not let himself be influenced “by
earthly considerations, nor held back
by mistrust, opposition or rebuffs, nor
by lack of appreciation nor fear of
misinterpretation.”
Horror of War
Then, -showing poignantly his hor-
ror of the war, he said:
“As we write these lines the terri-
ble news comes to us that the dread
war is already raging

Calls Italy Friendly
'“This can happen when unrestrict-
ed dominion is conferred on the state
as having a mandate from the nation
and the people or even from a social
class, or when the state arrogates
such dominion to itself as absolute
master, despotically, without any
mandate whatsoever,” he continued.
In contrast to his remarks about
unspecified totalitarian nations, the
Pope said:
“Our heart is joyous esoecially at
the thought that we can count among
friendly powers our dear Italy.’’
Hits at Other Isms
In a further reference to ideologies
which seemed obviously of the types
of those of Nazism and Communism,

GRANGER, Oct. 27.—Urging Texas
farmers to vote in the coming cotton
referendum and to vote against the
quota plan of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, Ralph W
Moore, master of the Texas Grange,
has issued the following statement
here:
“It occurs to me that after all these
years of trifling and dealing in uncer-
tainities on the part of the National
Administration relative to agricul-
ture, farmers should come to realize
that they are not being dealt with
fairly. Promises are easily made, It
seems, by Secretary Wallace and his
cohorts, but soon forgotten. After
seven j’ears of government control
and regimentation, we are no nearer
.the solution of the cotton problem
than we were in the beginning.
“We recall the failure of the gov-
ernment to pay the 1938 parity pay
ments, and also they have reduced the
1939 parity payments, as well as the
soil conservation payments.
“Texas and Oklahoma farmers have
been forced to bear the brunt of this
national farm program relating to
cotton. These two states have ac-
counted for approximately 90 per cent
of the aggregate of reduction, which
is unfair, unethical and unsound from
the national economic viewpoint, and
it is my opinion that the farmers of
Texas and Oklahoma would receive
larger payments if they would vote
down the quota plan than they would
if they should vote for it.’’
Moore further predicted that the
plan will be defeated if the opposi-
tion goes to the poles and votes.

Boyd High’s assembly programs
have been scheduled for the next six
weeks and announced by Principal N.
C. Smart, Monday.
These programs range from the ex-
periences of a World War corporal to
a concert by the McKinney Hign
School band, and will be presented to
the student body.
On October 30, the second in a se-
ries of concerts by the Boyd High
School band under the direction of
Stewart Jernigan was presented.
The assembly period on November
6, will be used for a sing-song in
which the entire student body will j
participate under the leadership of
Coach Swede McMurray.
November 8 brings to Boyd High
the second in a series of lyceum pro
grams. Corporal Bob Ingleston will
tell of his experiences on the battle-
front during the World War.
An Armistice program will be pre-
sented by the speech class under the
supervision of J. Y. Gates on Novem-
ber 13.
On November 27 a program on
Thanksgiving will turn the thoughts
of Boyd High students away from
studies to the delicacies of a Thanks-
giving dinner.

COLUMN
The Examiner received the follow-
ing information from Congressman
Rayburn this morning:
The Census Bureau in Washington
has received many inquiries from per-
sons seeking jobs as enumerators
(census-takers), clerks, interpreters,
stenographers and other field person-
nel in connection with the approach-
ing 1940 decennial census.
Applicants for such positions should
NOT write to Washington.
These positions will be filled LO-
CALLY.
Applicants should wait until local
offices are established. These of-
fices will be opened at the time sup-
ervisors are sent into the field, at the
close of the present year.
Opening of each local office will be
announced fully in the local news-
papers.
Applicants should await these an-
nouncements and then apply to the
LOCAL office for blanks and general
information concerning employment,
rates of pay, length of time the jobs
will last, who the supervisors will be,
size of the various districts, and kin-
dred details. These facts on each lo-
cal situation CANNOT be obtained by
writing to Washington.
Census workers will be required to
devote full time to census work, and
WILL be subject to the Hatch Act
specifically forbidding Federal
ployees from taking any active part
in political management or in politi-
cal campaigns during the entire pe-
riod of their employment by the Cen-
sus Bureau.
MEN and WOMEN will be eligible
for census work on equal terms. WAR
VETERANS or their widows are giv-
en special preference when equally
well-qualified with others.
CIVIL SERVICE status is NOT re-
quired for census work in the field
(outside Washington). The Census
Bureau will give its own examina-
tions, however, to determine the re-
spective qualifications of applicants.
Information ■ on this subject also
should be obtained from LOCAL of-
fices when they are established.
ALL appointments will be under the
jurisdiction of the district supervisor,
who will be named by the bureau in
the near future.
