Farming complex business
Supervisors of the Marion-
Cass Soil Conservation District
realize that in no time in the
history of American agricul-
ture has so many owed so
much to such a few.
This has not always been
the situation.
In the early 20's nearly 50
per cent of the population was
actively engaged in the pro-
Baptist Church
activities

duction of food and fiber for
a growing nation. Not only
food and fiber but leaders of
todays booming industry and
business were being develop-
ed.
Check with any president or
business executive in the cities
today and chances are 10 to 1
that he grew up on a farm.
That was less than 45 years
ago. Today less than 7 per cent
of the population is actively
engaged in farming.
This 7 per cent is all that
remains of what once was 50
per cent of our nation's popu-
lation. Yet people ask today
why continue soil and water
conservation when we have a
surplus of food and fiber. It
is a question that is being
heard more often.
One might say that farmers
are being made light of for
doing a job too well. Yet to-
day even as in the early days
America must look to the
farmer for a prosperous fu-
ture. Farmers have become
fewer and fewer and their job
has become more and more
complex.
It was once the thought that
if a person failed at all other
jobs he could always become
a farmer. Today a farmer has
thousands of dollars invested
in a business that requires he

mechanic, an auditor, and,
above all, a businessman.
Farming no longer is a job
for the failures and misfits. It
is a job that requires skill,
management and perserver-
ance.
Look at the things farmers
have contributed to our way
of life. We are the best fed,
best clothed and best housed
nation in the world today.
Yet the average citizen
spends only 19 per cent of his
income for food. This compares
to a low of 40 per cent for the
more progressive countries
and as high as 80 per cent for
the more under-developed na-
tions.

Sales tax may be extended
The state's two per cent
sales tax probably will be ex-
tended to cover grocery pur-
chases when the 1965 Texas
legislature meets.
The sales tax, started three
years ago, brought in $204,-
736,161 during the fiscal year
which ended Aug. 31. The tax
accounted for 12 cents of ev-
ery state revenue dollar.
Expected demands on state
resources to meet teachers'
pay raises, improvement in
higher education facilities and
upgrading of other state serv-
ices is expected to be the trig-
ger for making the sales tax
applicable to groceries, which
have been exempt.
