their religion was the worshipping
of the Sun. The people were very
industrious and no man was in pov-

Inoculation Is
Good Insurance
It is good insurance to inocul
ate seed, declared Marvin Carter,!
County agricultural agent of the |
A and M College Eextension Ser
vice. Legumes often called soil-
building crops, produce nodules on
the roots containing active bacteria
which utilize nitrogen of the air
when the seed is inoculated before
planting, or if the soil contains the
proper bacteria. Non-legumes like
corn and cotton cannot utilize the
free nitrogen from the air, as do
legumes, and must get this valuable
plant food from the soil. Ac-
cording to Carter, some of the most
important legumes are beans, peas
peanuts, alfalfa, clovers and vetch
es.
Artificial seed inoculation is es-
pecially important with vetch, Aus
trian winter peas and soybeans as
there is little if any natural in-
oculation for these crops in most
Texas soils. It has been found
practically useless to attempt to
grow these latter crops on land
deficient in nitrogen without in-
oculating the seed or using expen
sive nitrogen fertilizer. Use of sup
erphosphate and potash on sandy
soils usually is necessary to bal-
ance the nitrogen and thereby get
maximum yields. On acid soils,
lime will enable the plants to get
best results from inoculation.
Whether it is more profitable to
inoculate peanut seed, or apply a
chemical, Carter says. Available
date shows that on soil where in
oculated peanut, cowpeas, or velvet
beans had been grown recently the
chemical treatment is best, expecial
ly on machine shelled or hand shell
ed seed where the skin has been
injured. On such land artificial in
oculation of the seed would be pre-
ferable, especially with unshelled
seed. Better stands of plants from
machine - shelled seed have been
obtained through chemical treat-
ment.
In buying bacterial culture it is
important to name the seed because
there are types of bacteria for
different crops, Carter points out.
As drying and sunlight are detri-
mental to the bacteria the seed
should be kept in the shade and
planted as soon as possible after
inoculation.

"Sausages for breakfast! Sau-
sages for breakfast! I can smell
'em!" Small Joe came tumbling
downstairs fastening the belt of his
shorts as he came. He made a bee-
line for the kitchen. Pop was al-
ready sitting at the table, reading
the paper, while Mom held the han-
dle of the frying-pan over the stove.
Small Joe came close and sniffed
the delicious smoke, wriggling aU
over with early-morning joy.
"Better be thankful for them while
you can still get them.'' One glance
at Mom's face told small Joe this
was one of her tight-lipped days.
"Not a drop of coffee in the house,
and no sugar left to put in it if there
was. Some war!" Small Joe kept
still.
"Letter for you. son," Pop said in
his quiet voice. Small Joe made a
leap for his place at table. There
it was, a private personal letter for
him alone, propped against his milk
glass.
"Hey, Pop! It's from brother!"
Small Joe was pulling the envelope
apart and diving
into the contents.
"Hey, look what
he sent me." He
passed over an
oblong of thick,
crinkly paper
while he leaned
over the sheet of
writing-paper.
"A twenty-flve
Pop said slowly.
fl
dollar War Bond,
Mom turned and looked at it over
Pop's shoulder, with the frying-pan
in her hand.
"Listen what he says. 'How are
you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up
so you can help me slap the Japs.
Aren't you most big enough to get
into the Army? Here's something
for you in your name. Let's the
whole family gang up and help to
win this war.' "
Pop and Mom were silent. But
small Joe didn't notice that. He
was full of his letter and his War
Bond.
"Gee, Pop, in six years I could
get into the Army, couldn't I, Pop?
Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier
like brother and fight in this war.
Gee, isn't that bond nifty? Look, it
was issued in Honolulu. It's mine."|
But Pop was looking at Mom and'
Mom was looking at Pop. There
were tears in Mom's eyes. She
shook her head sharply. Pop
reached out and patted her hand
gently.
"Well, can't let our soldier boy
beat us to buying War Bonds, can
we, old lady?" was all he said.
She shook her head again. "I
guess if he can give up his job and
. . . and go off to war I can do some
fighting back at home," she said
in a queer voice. Small Joe looked
up at her in surprise. She saw him
looking at her and spoke sharply.
"Well, Joe. We're about ready to
eat. Say grace."
Small Joe folded his hands and
bent his head as he had been taught.
"Oh Lord, we thank thee for this
food and all thy bountiful gifts . . ."
"Amen," Pop said.
"Amen," Mom said. "Now eat
your good sausages."

the files of the Treasury Depart-
ment.)

Our Freedom
Is Priceless
By JOSEPH E. OAVIES
Former Ambassador to Russia
and Belgium.
(Written for the Treasury Department
In connection with the Retailers' "SAY
YES" campaign to complete the nation's
100.000.0(H) partially filled War Stamp
albums.)
Be rational towards rationings
but don't ration your scrap meatl.
The Army needs it now.
What I myself saw in my four
years in Europe gave me a new
realization of the priceless rights
which we here enjoy.
No secret police can in the night
whisk us away, never again to be
seen by those we love.
None of us can be deprived by any
party, state or tyrant of those pre-
cious civil liberties which our laws
and our courts guarantee.
None of us can be persecuted for
practicing the faith which we found
at our mother's knee.
None of us can be persecuted, tor-
tured or killed because of the fact
that an accident of fate might have
made us of the same race as the
Nazarene.
No American can be placed by
any party or government in a regi-
mented vise which takes from him
or her either freedom of economic
opportunity or political religious lib-
erty.
What would the millions of unfor-
tunate men, women and children in
Europe give to be able to live and
enjoy such a way of life?
Well, in this war, those are the
things in our lives which are in
jeopardy. Our boys are dying to pre-
serve them for us.
Then we can do no less than to
"say yes" and fill those war stamp
albums. It is our duty and privilege
to help the secretary of the treasury,
Mr. Morgenthau, in his magnificent
effort to do the tremendous job of
getting the money to keep our boys
supplied with the weapons with
which to fight our fight.
Surely that is little enough for us
to do on the home front.

ties, Seven days later Ervin Wal-
lace of Avinger volunteered and
was accepted, thus began a flood
of volunteers that filled every call
made on Cass County until Sept.
1st 1941, Cass County was the last
County in the State to call a selec-
tee and it is believed to be the last
in the nation, so outstanding was
the record of the county in this re-
spect, that on the 22nd day of May
1941 the State Legislature of Tex
as passed resolutions of Congratul
ation expressing its appreciation
of the patriotism of the young man
hood of the county.
Out of a population of 33000 The
county now has 2335 men in the
active service, these are seeing
service all over the world at this
time, all-ready several of this
group have made the supreme sa-
crifice, they willing and glad to do
for their Country, out of the great
number examined at Induction cent

campaigns were led by the public
school system of the county. The
county school superintendents, D.
H. Boon and J. D. Betts, led their
school faculties and pupils in the
work, the whole school system en-
tered into the sampaign with all
their power and ability the puplic
school system of the county led by
the superintendents, have had a
major part in all war activities,
their services are out-standing in
the following, scrap iron, rubber,
war ration book, education for war
effort, bonds and stamp sales, vic-
tory tax, selective service instruc-
tion and assistance, aid and dis-
tribution of income tax forms ODT

Red Cross knitting, sewing and
bandage wrapping are now in full
swing under the leadership of the
ladies clubs of the county.
No selective board in the Na-
tion has done a better job than
has the Cass County Board, it has
performed a difficult, patriotic task
satisfactory to the people of the
County State and Nation, no par-
tiality, as shown by the fact that
each of the present board has sons
in the service, fair a like to the
Army and the people of the County
The office personel is at all times
courteous and efficient, when his-
tory is written the board will have
a place of honorable mention.
Nurses, Doctors, Chaplains, de-
fense workers, civil defense, Army
Navy, Marines, Air Corp, Merchant
Marine, and home defense, Cass
county has 1 gone to war, and will
do her share and more to bring
victory.
