Five minutes and the use of

Better known as the red dht,
this redish-brown insect not on-

says Neal M Randolph, exten-

"1 Mrs. Joe Fritsch celebrated
such hpr birthday Sunday here at her
___- home with only a few relatives
will not save any material am-' -ber children present. A de-
ount of money, I expect to do | !ici°us barbecue dinner was
everything to keep things as
they are. Let me know when
these happen in your neighbor-
hood. The time to do this is as
early as possible after the in-
spectors come around. Once the
Department makes up its mind
it is very hard to change it.
Some of my city folks have
asked me why I have been so
concerned over agricultural pro-
blems. I have told them about
the serious effect on our natio-
nal economy when prices of
farm commodities fall far below
industrial prices and wages. If
you consider the years between
World War II and the Korean
Was as being average and nor-
mal, you find that today agri-
cultural prices are around 83%
while Industrial prices and
wages are around 120.% This
wide spread between prices the
farmer pays, and prices he re-
ceives when he sells his pro-
ducts, is dangerous. Last Fri-
day came a news story out of
Washington telling of further
declines of farm prices this fall.
The longer this difference is al-
lowed to continue, the closer
we come to a serious depression
| all over the country.
■ I I am convinced that a depres-
11 sion can be headed off, provid-
ed vigorous steps are taken and
taken soon. A hesitant and tim-
id approach to this situation
will not do the job because it
will not restore the confidence
of the people who are already
feeling the pinch. A bold and
positive program should do the
job.
I saw a very promising event
in Sealy last week. I stopped by
the cattle auction, and I saw
more activity than in many
months. The sale went on
through the night, and the next
day reports were most encour-
aging.
The last of the Farm Bureau
scheduled meetings was Tues-
day in Fort Bend County. I wish
I could make it to the State
Convention at Mineral Wells.
However, you are keeping me so
busy here that I don’t see how
I can make it.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson
