What about Legumes? The government has been
trying to educate farmers for several years to use
winter cover crops of peas, legumes, etc., and to use
hubam clover in rotation, and what has been the
result?
The cost of sowing vetch and turning it into the
soil will be approximately $3.50 per acre, according
to several of our customers’ experience. This cost
amounts to $10.50 per bale if the land ordinarily
yields one-third of a bale of cotton per year.
Are you going to wait and be sold on increasing
your yields?

If your winter cover crops won’t help your cotton
yield this much, then it isn’t worth the time it takes
to drive to the county seat to get the purchase order,
either.

The $10.50 amounts to 35 lbs, of cotton at 30c
per lb. which the farmer must make in increased
yield to pay the expense of planting the vetch and
turning it under. For him to make this 35 lbs. he
must make 47 lbs. and pay the rent. This 47 lbs. of
increased yield only needs to be from three acres.
In other words, the winter cover crop must increase
the cotton yield only 16 lbs. per acre to pay for itself.
This is slightly over thfee per cent (3 %).

treatment in its hosiptals. The pres-
ent law doesn’t limit treatment to
service-caused sickness or injuries.
As a result, two-thirds of the present
patients, half of whom are mental
cases, are suffering from ailments not
caused by their war service.
One can hardly blame the individ-
ual veteran for taking advantage of
this provision of Congress—a part of
the cost comes from his own tax
pocket. But this system is making an
opening wedge for socialized medi-
cine. Right now the VA is building
twenty-two new hospitals, at great
cost to taxpayers, and the end is no-
where in sight.
With the draft threatening to con-
vert almost every male citizen into
a veteran, the demand for tightening
the use of VA hospitals is gaining
support. Unless this is done, we may
wake up some morning to find that
socialized medicine has slipped in by
the back door. Then it will be too
late to protest.

scribed as “a sick eye in a sick body.”
Other signs may be blurring of the
sight and seeing colored haloes
around lights.
Treatment for glaucoma consists of
eye drops to bring the tension of the
eyeball down and surgery if the
drops don’t control the disease. The
doctor may be helped in deciding
whether or not to operate by the
amount of side vision which has been
lost. The field of vision can be
measured, as can the amount of ten-
sion in the eyeball.
Many people are bothered with ir-
ritations of the lid (blepharitis) and
conjunctiva (conjunctivitis). The
conjunctiva is the tissue which lines
the lids and covers the cornea, and of
course “itis” refers to an irritation or
inflammation, just as it does in any
other part of the body. The patient
may complain that he feels as if
something is in his eyes and that
they tire quickly in doing close work.
Itching, burning, and redness of the
eyes and lids also may be noticed.
Asy irritation which is painful or
long drawn out should be brought to
the attention of a doctor because oft-
en it may be the first sign of a deep-
seated eye disease. Also, if neg-
lected, this surface irritation can lead
to more serious trouble of the eye.
The doctor may treat the condition
with medicines or prescribe glasses.

The Denison Herald apparently
looks upon the next two years as a
probationary span during which
Americans should prepare for a
blessed peace in a problematical fu-
ture—a future again controlled by a
tax-spend-waste Democratic Con-
gress, with the Fourth District’s own
Sam Rayburn as Speaker of the
House and the king-bee who controls,
or so it is said, the nation’s legisla-
tion.
At least we gathered that from
reading the Herald’s editorial of last
Sunday which praised Mr. Rayburn
and pointed to the time in 1955
“when the whole country can hope
that he again will be available for the
Speakership.”
What the Herald has failed to grasp
is that the nation became fed up with
the kind of government we were get-
ting under the leadership of Mr. Ray-
burn and other stalwarts of the Dem-
ocratic Party. In spite of the fact
that Denison and the Fourth District
voted for a continuation of that kind
of government, an overwhelming ma-
jority of the rest of the nation said
by their votes for General Eisenhow-
er that they were fed up and wanted
a change.
The fact that General Eisenhower
did not sweep into office with him an
overwhelming majority of members
of Congress doesn’t mean what some
people believe it means. There are
many Democratic members of Con-
gress who are not aligned with the
tax-spend-waste Administration stal-
warts, the voters of their districts
know how they stand, and they re--
turned them to office for another two
years with the expectation that they
will join with the new administration
in its efforts to return this country to
a stabilized government. If they
don’t do so, the voters will turn them
out in 1954.
The fact that none of the Demo-
cratic platform promises of 1948 were
enacted into law by the Democratic-
controlled Congress in power since
that time prove conclusively that the
Administration failed to muster the
support of all the Democrats in the
House and in the Senate.

anything more than just
pleted application form?
A.—Yes. You must include, with
your application, (1) photostats of
both sides of your discharge or sepa-
ration paper; (2) a detailed outline of
your training program as approved
by your school; (3) a certification
from your school stating that the pro-
gram meets all standards of the law,
and (4) evidence that you have con-
trol of the farm on which you’re go-
ing to train and that the training will
occupy your full time.
Q.—I am making arrangements to
buy a house with a GI loan. Can part
of the loan be used for advance pay-
ments I’m supposed to make for
taxes and insurance?
A.—No. Prepaid items, such as
taxes and insurance, must be paid for
in cash, and may not be part of the
loan.
Q.—I signed up for the total dis-
ability income provision in connec-
tion with my National Service Life
Insurance. If I become totally dis-
, abled and draw payments under this
provision, will the face amount of my
policy be reduced?
A.—No. The monthly income ben-
efits will not decrease the face
amount of your policy.
Q.—How much of an allowance
will I get if I enroll in a correspond-
ence school under the Korean GI
Bill?
A.—Your allowance will be the
school’s established charge for non-
veterans taking the same course.
You, of course, must pay the school.

A survey by Congressional Quar-
terly has established that there will
be many more “Eisenhower men” in
the next House of Representatives in
Washington than there are Republi-
cans. In the Senate, indications are
that the President-elect will com-
mand impressive majorities on both
foreign and domestic policies.
The findings of Congressional
Quarterly are based on seldom-mis-
leading voting records of the old
members and individual stands of
both old and new members. On for-
eign policy, General Eisenhower can
expect the backing of 116 Republi-
cans and 176 Democrats in the House,
while arrayed in the probable oppo-
sition will be 93 Republicans and 19
Democrats. The remaining members
are listed as doubtful. Fifty-eight
senators of both parties are expected
to be with the President-elect on
foreign policy.
The next President’s backing on
domesic policy will be composed of
207 fellow party members and 65
members, of the minority. His oppo-
sition on domestic legislation will be
made up of 135 Democrats and five
Republicans, with the remainder of
the House listed as doubtful. The in-
coming President will draw substan-
tial support from the freshmen mem-
bers of the House. In the Senate on
domestic policy he should have the
backing of at least 57 members.
The large popular and electoral
majorities given General Eisenhower
have added immense political pres-
tige to his otherwise fine reputation
i as a leader, soldier and statesman.
Months will elapse before the “hon-
eymoon” is over for the popular chief
executive with so strong a mandate
from the people. The fortunes of po-
litical wars may determine the dura-
■ tion of this bipartisan influence, but
You’ve heard it said “The Greeks
had a word for it.” Just like every-
one else, though, once in a while they
came up with the wrong word.
Take “cataract” of the eye. You’ve
probably heard the term used in con-
nection with a waterfall. That’s
more or less what the physicians of
ancient Greece thought a cataract of
the eye was. They believed there
was a large space between the lens of
the eye and the colored matter which
lies in front of it, the iris, in the mid-
dle of which is a hole, the pupil. In-
to this space, they thought, fell a
cloudy fluid which cut off the sight
and made 'the pupil, normally black,
look gray or white.
Today scientists know that the
trouble lies within the lens itself, not
in front of it. A cataract is any
cloudy spot in the lens, regardless of
size, shape, or color. A patient may
have a cataract so small it never
bothers him. On the other hand,
even a tiny cataract located in a part
of the lens needed for vision can be
annoying. Cataracts usually occur in
old people but may be seen in those
of other ages as well, including in-
fants.
One thing above all should be re-
membered about cataracts: The diag-
nosis does not carry with it the cer-
tainty of blindness. With treatment,
the progress of a cataract sometimes
can be slowed up considerably. Fur-
thermore, when the patient’s vision
becomes bad enough to handicap him
in getting around, an operation can
be done. I-n children the cloudy lens
is cut in two and left in the eye to be
absorbed; this procedure is called
needling or discission. In older peo-
ple the lens must be removed from
the eye. After the operation glasses
can take the place of the missing
lens of the eye, which is not replaced
by nature, and if the rest of the or-
gan is healthy, the sight often is near
normal or at least useful.
Everything that cuts down the vis-
ion is not a cataract. Some people
speak of a “cataract on the eye,” but
the lens, the part involved, is in the
eye. They may confuse
with another condition
called a “pterygium” (
te-rij-e-um, accenting
syllable). This is a !
shaped growth which usually begins
near the nose and spreads over the
eyeball. Thick and fleshy looking at
first, it finally shrinks and turns pale,
and the blood vesses in it become
cord-like. Pterygium is seen most
often in persons exposed to a lot of
dust, wind, and sun, and
children. When the growth covers
the cornea (the watch crystal-like
covering of the eyeball) enough to
block off seeing, it becomes neces-
sary to operate.
A certain amount of pressure of
eye’s content against the inner side of
the eyeball is needed to give the eye-
ball its shape. However, when this
pressure rises to unhealthy levels
from some cause, either known or
unknown, glaucoma results. Glau-
coma may be connected with cata-
ract. This eye disease, which causes
about 10 percent of blindness, has
been called “a thief in the night” be-
cause often it steals away eyesight
so gradually that its victim is un-
aware the disease is present; the loss
of sight usually begins at the edges of
the field of vision. However, if the
patient has an acute attack, the pain
is so severe that he usually seeks
medical relief. General symptoms
like nausea, vomiting, and headache
may be associated with an attack of
