numbers just what we can and
cannot afford. And chances are,
if we do sit down and figure it
out, we can’t afford it, and we
can do without it for the present,
anyway.
Okay, okay. So I’ve had my
lecture. So I can’t afford to have
a porch built on my house this
year. Anyway, the trim and the
kitchen are painted, the car is
pretty new, the TV set is all
right and the man is coming next
week to measure for the carpet-
ing. And the bank isn’t writing
me Pasty* notes. I know when I
can’t afford something — until
spring.
A New Year bows into a
world that prays for peace and
hopes for a new era of under-

May 1953 see these prayers

Flu Epidemic
in Laredo Area
LAREDO, Dec. 31 (TP) —Doc-
tors and druggists struggled to-
day to keep up with a mild form
of influenza that is sweeping this
area.
There have been reports of as
many as 10,000 cases, but Dr. M.
L. Fuller, the Laredo-Webb coun-
ty health officer, estimated there
had been three or our thousand
cases.
He said the flu was a mild type
that kept a patient in bed four
or five days. No deaths have been
reported.
Druggists were swamped with
prescription orders. One said Sun-
day he was 100 prescriptions be-
hind.

It’s been a long time since I’ve
heard anyone say flatly and
simply, “I can’t afford it.” And
perhaps it would be a good idea
to restore those four uncompli-
cated words to a popular spot in
our vocabularies.

of Gainesville, in Oklahoma.

cently butchered a hog. They

Are Profitable
On Grand Prairie
Deep rooted legumes such as
sweet clover are the most prof-
itable soil improving crop that
can be used on Grand Prairie
soils, according to scientists of
the Soil Conservation service.
These soils tend to lose their
“openness” under cultivation
and thereby lose their capacity
to store and hold water and
plant food for crop use. How-
ever sweet clovers, in-
cludine Hubam, bennial white
and Madrid, when grown on
these soils will restore this ca-
pacity and give a corresponding
increase on following crop
yields. Experience of farmers
shows that clover should be in-
cluded in a rotation once every
three years for best results.
This year, Tony Walterscheid,
who farms five acres northeast
of Muenster, made 33 bushels of
wheat per acre following clover.
This plot received phosphate
along with ’the clover. An ad-
joining plot having only 200
pounds of phosphate made 17
bushels of wheat per acre. This
increase in yield of 16 bushels
per acre averaged about $32 per
acre more return from land
where sweet clover had been
grown.
Byron Sears of the Hays com-
munity made 81 bushels of oats
per acre following Hubam sweet
clover that had received 200
pounds of super-nhosphate per
acre. Similiar soils nearby made
36 bushels per acre. With oats
at $1 per bushel, this would give
a $45 return per acre from the
Hubam.
Elsewhere in the district,
Glenn Burden has seeded 20
acres of vetch on bermuda pas-
ture on his farm three miles
northeast of Woodbine. He ap-
plied 200 pounds of superphos-
phate per acre under the vetch
at seeding time. He hopes to get
spring grazing plus an increase
in growth on his grass as a re-
sult of using this legume.
Buster Thrasher of Callisburg
has also seeded vetch for pas-
ture improvement.

noney has become an enormous
usiness as it has become easiei
o borrow money. Installment-
olan buying puts almost anything
ur hearts desire in our paths.
Everything, from diamond
stomachers to bedside radios, are
vailable todav on the dollar-
down-and-a-little-every month
basis, which is fine and wonder-
ful. Where most of us Americans
all down, apparently, is in the
lepartment of decision-—determ-
ining what we really are justified
in going in the hole for.
Actually, the onus on borrow-
ing money has been removed for
1 comparatively few years. Not
.00 long ago, individual borrow-
ing was not only frowned upon,
out arranging a loan without
security was practically impos-
sible. People who wanted to buy
something usually set their sights
ipon the object, saved their
money until they had enough to
cover the purchase price and
then went out and bought it.
These were tougher customers,
and the very process of saving to
buy eliminated whims and fan-
cies.
Buying has been made infintely
easier for the present generation,
ooth by sellers who use siren arts
in presenting their merchandise,
and by the banks themselves who
today eagerly shout to the world
how easy it is to pick up a per-
sonal loan. All this puts more
and more responsibility on the
purchaser in separating the
wheat of necessity purchases
from the chaff of unnecessary
ones.
The ease with which persons
with steady jobs and modest in-
comes can acquire necessary
things today has made life con-
siderably more pleasant. It is
wise borrowing, for instance, for
a salesman to acquire an auto-
mobile on credit, and pay for it
while he is using it. It is a good
investment for the head of a fam-
ily to buy a washing machine
largely on credit, and to have the
use of the machine through the
period when it is being paid for.
Trouble comes, as it must,
when the family over-extends
itself with the pay-as-you-go
system. It might swing payments
on the car, or the washing ma-
chine, or both. But when it is
also paying on a new wall-to-wall
carpeting, a new TV set, and a
fur coat, trouble is likely to
break out in the budget.
Credit, for most of us, is so
easily come by today, it’s hard
to believe that there’s anything
we really can’t afford. But these
rather small payments here,
larger payments there, and those
down payments have a way of
piling up on the unwary house-
holder until comes a day when
he’s not only broke but worried
sick too. It takes a stern, realis-
tic mind to sit down with pencil
