1. What is the purpose of the
District Equipment Program?
Answer—To provide farmers
of the Marion-Cass Soil Cnserva-
tion District with machinery
which is not otherwise obtain-
able, but which is needed in ap-
plying conservation practices.
2. How is. the program financ-
ed?
Answer—Money for the initial
purchase of equipment was pro-
vided by the State Legislature.
3. How much money is avail-
able?
Answer —Approximately $33,-
000 after paying for equipment
on hand.
4. Who is eligible to use the
District equipment?
Answer—All farm owners and
operators in the Marion-Cass
District.
5. What equipment is now
available?
Answer—2 farm tractors, " 1
mechanical tree planter, 2 stalk
shredders, 3 combines, 2 culti-
packers, I terracing plow and
scoop, and 4 combination grain-
drill fertilizer distributors.
• 6. What is the cost of using
this machinery?
Answer—Tree planter, $7.50
per 4,000 trees including tractor
and labor, or $1.00 per 1,000 trees
alone; stalk shredder, $3.00 per
hour with tractor and labor or
$5.00 per day alone; combines,
$15.00 per acre or one-half seed
for Crimson Clover and $7.50
per acre or one-half seed for
other seeds; cultipacker, 2.50 per
hour with tractor and labor or
$5.00 per day alone; graindrill
fertilize distributor, same as cul-
tipacker; terracing plow, ter-
races constructed to specifications
for $2.00 per 100 feet plus $2.50
per hour for making cuts and
fills.
7. How are these prices de-
termined?
Answer—As provided by law,
a charge sufficient to cover cost
of operations plus depreciation
on machinery must be made.
Downward adjustments will be
made as operations costs permit,
8. Will this policy create un-
fair competition for individual
owners and operators?
Answer—It is not the intention
of the Board to complete with pri
vate enterprise, but rather to
furnish equipment which pri-
vate enterprise has so far been
unable to provide adequately. For
example: As soon as there are
enough privately owned combines
to supply our needs, the District
will, dispose of its combines and
• Wr-fcUiv.l*>-#-f
need still exists)
9. What additional equipment
will be bought?
. Answer—Not all of the funds
have been allocated, but orders
have been placed for two more
tractors and two Brush-Master
saws. The exact delivery date is
uncertain but early delivery is
anticipated.

LONE STAR STEEL
It is a great relief to those of
us, who have worked for eleven
years trying to get a steel in-
dustry established in East Texas,
to realize that now it is not only
a possibility; it is a reality. It
is difficult, too, for those of us
within that area of two hundred
miles from the plant, who will
be benefited directly, to properly
evaluate and appraise the many
great advantages and opportuni-
ties that will be afforded our
people.
WAR PROBLEMS
It is my opinion that the 18-
year-olds will not be included in
draft legislation during this Con-
gress unless the situation gets
considerably worse than it is
now. Many of the people do not
have their hearts in the war,
although there is no evidence of
unpatriotism or lack of interest
in our country. Lots of people
are questioning our policy of
sending American boys to dis-
tant shores to fight for United
Nations when so 'many other
countries in the U.-«N. that should
be just as interested as we are,
are not adequately cooperating.
Nehru's attitude is not a sur-
prise, as he hates the white peo-
ple. The British kept him in
prison for almost half of his na-
tural life.
It is possible that there will
be a stalemate after the Korean
conflict quiets down, either by
our withdrawal or cessation of
fighting. The stalemate is likely
to continue for months or even
longer.
Freedom of the press and
freedom of speech are among
our most cherished of traditional
policies and constitutional provi-
sions. Yet, their existence is a
great challenge to the people to
learn the actual facts in order to
not be misled by false propa-
ganda and information put out
for selfish, greedy reasons. In
a state of confusion, the people
are saved by their own native,
intuition. Even if all the pro-
paganda is on one side, this great
asset—native intuition—causes
them to evaluate situations and
act in the right way.
Among the controls which are
coming, non-essential production
will be stopped first. For in-
stance, those engaged in making
"juke" boxes and costume jew-
elry will have to gear their faci-
lities to making something es-
sential in the war effort. In
many cases, this will cause
shops to close, and in others, em-
ployed persons to be shifted to
more essential work.
TIDELANDS
Contrary to beliefs expressed
by many people in our State,
Congress has not taken any ac-
tion detrimental to the State on
the Tidelands question. At the
present time, neither the Federal
Government nor the States can
make a contract with an oil
company to explore these valua-
ble reserves. It is probable that
a bill will be passed this session
of Congress (that will receive
the approval of, the President,
giving the States up to 50% of
the oil within IOV2 miles of the
shore in Texas, and 37Vfe% to
50% of the oil outside of the 10 Mi
mile limit. Noted geologists
contend that most of the valua-
ble oil reserves are outside of
the lO'/i mile limit.
EUROPEAN MISSION
The general belief is that Gen-
eral Eisenhower is on a mission
to assume command of the com-
bined military forces of the free
Nations of Europe. His mission,
however, is said to be an explora-
tory one to find out the feeling
existing among our Allies and to
gauge the extent to which they
can and will contribute to halt
Communist aggression. He will
make his report and recommenda-
tions to the President, the Con-
gress and the Nation when he
returns sometime next month.
He will give the reajl situation
as he finds it. Our future course
in Europe will to a great extent
depend upon his report and re-
commendations.
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION
The Constitutional question
as to whether the President has
the right to send American troops
to a campaign in Europe is not a
new one. It is one that goes
back to the time of our found-
ing fathers when this subject
was up for discussion. It was
not settled then and perhaps will
never be settled to the satisfac-
tion of both political parties.
The exclusive power to declare
war and the right to raise and
support armies was vested in
Congress by the Constitution. It
also put upon the President the
responsibility to "preserve, pro-
tect and defend the Constitution
ol the United States."
A solution can and will be
worked out In a conflict between
the Executive and Legislative
Branches of the Government, as
neither the President nor Con-
gress will insist upon its respec
tive Constitutional rights to the
letter. Much will depend upon
General Eisenhower's report and
recommendations upon his return
from Europe.

According to Sara LoraiiM
Beck, Box 253, Coker, Alabama,
when a person is only 15 years
old and feels terrible, can't eat
or sleep the way they should, it's
mighty bad. «That is the way
Loraine says she used to feel,
but that was,
of course, be-
fore she start-
ed taking HAD-
ACOL. Loraine
found that tak-
ing HADACOL
hell
lped her sys-
tem overcome
deficiencies in
Vitamins Bi, B„
Niacin and
Iron, which
HADACOL"
contains.
Here is Loraine Beck's own
statement: "I was run-down,
sick and skinny, and weighed
only 90 pounds before I used
HADACOL. I would not eat be-
cause I had no appetite. Now I
weigh 123 pounds and have an
appetite. I feel a lot bettor. 1
have been taking HADACOL 10
months and am still taking It. £
am 15 years old. HADACOL hM
done me lots of good."
