The County
Agenti' Column
If you are thinking of buying
farm land this year, it's important
to consider carefully just what
that land will earn over a long
Period of time.
In spite of the fact that farm
real estate prices are so high that
they have almost reached the fam-
ous 1920 inflationary mark, people
are buying and selling farms pretty
fast these days. And there are a lot
of heavy debts piling up in many
places, too.
Don't be one of the many people
who may be headed for trouble in
buying land now without consider-
ing just what it will earn if farm
prices go down, buying without a
thought to long-term prices is just
storing up trouble for the years
ahead.
According to reports from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
people are buying land now for
like to do if financially free to
order his own life a,s he wished.
Medical authorities pretty much
agree it is dangerous for a man in
his sixties to retire If It means
changing over from an active life
to one of idleness. But where a
man has a wholesome hobby or
some responsibility that will en-
gage his mind, then retirment can
be undertaken not only without
risk but even be beneficial.
Idleness, whether amoung rich
or merely well-to-do or those act-
ually poor, is to be deplored. Free-
dom from financial worry does not
mean a license to be idle. It mere-
ly means that a man has the op-
portunity to choose the type of
activity or work which coincides
with his tastes and talents. Of
course, persons who have had a
surfeit of work and worry, natur-
ally require a vacation now and
then to mend their nerves and
HOLIDAYS!
"Let's go somewhere for the
Holidays." You will likely hear
this often in the next few weeks,
so be prepared, keep your car
ready by having it checked at...

HEART DISEASE IN CHILDREN
Rheumatic heart disease is now
the first cause of death unions
children aged 10 to 14, and is
second only to tuberculosis at age
15 to 25. Despite the importance of
this disease its epidemiology is not
completely established. No Vaccine
such as those that prevent typhoid,
diphtheria, smallpox, and whooping
cough has yet been developed for
lta prevention or control. We do
It is said to be possible to bleed
to death without suffering any
pain, just thought this might be
some comfort to the taxpayers.
Hawaii is strongly Republican,
and should it become a state it
would add two senators to that
side, by the same token Alaska Is
Democrat by tradition. It is said
that each party is watching to
see that the other don't slip in
any adopted children on them.
However, I can't believe our states-
men would be unstatesman about
something like this.
Just heard about an eighty year
old lady that had quilted fifty odd
quilts so far this year, and had
promised to make 16 more for one
I family, if her health held out, and
I bet it does. How wonderful It
j must be to be that active at that
age and to still be doing such im-
portant work in the world. What
courage, and grit, and stickability
she must have. I guess the main
reason there are so many wonder-
ful people in West Teexas is the
fact that we have had so many
wonderful grandmothers out here,
f kinda believe this.
Another old saying -A whistling
woman and a crowing hen, always
come to some bad end." Send in
your grandmothers favorite saying.

j heard about a man upstate, that

who was supposed to be working for
i him. So he went to see him about
it. "Didn't I keep you from losing
iyour home two years ago?" said
j Hie senator "and didn't I get
j your son out of trouble last year".
Yeah." said the voter "but you

] lately." I kinda thought politics
I was like that That's the reason I
stuck with farming.
Farmers are supposed to have
two dollars and fifty cents, or its
equivalent lor every one dollar
they owe now. In 1939 they owed
two dollars for each one dollar or
its equivalent, that they owned.
Too many people get into public
office by making a lot of promises,
and try to stay in by trying to
keep off of every bodies toes.
