WHATS IN A
PRESCRIPTION
Perhaps a simple thing like a bromide
compound. Perhaps a far more complex
j compound involving an aureomycin or 3
cortizonc. But in. a Boyd prescription there's always some-
thing else: First the best pharmaceutical skill available x
in compounding it. Second the deserved confidence you x
p frivo us in lminn- it.

WASHINGTON NEWS
By W. It. Poage
Dear Friends:
Officials of the U S. Geologi-
cal Survey say that the present
drought in Texas and the S6uth-
west is one of the most severe
of the past six hundred years.
One part or another of our
State has suffered every one of
the past nine or ten years. For
tne past tour years a major por-
tion of Texas has been affected.
It has not only injured farmers
'and ranchers it has impaired
the economy of the whole State.
J Cities have been faced with
waiw piumema just as iarmeis
have.
It is generally agreed that in
most sections of Texas enough
water falls even in most dry
years to supply our needs but
too much runs off or evapo-
rates. Actually far more evapo-
rates than runs off. How to re
tain use and conserve more of
Texas Counties as "Disaster ! things farmers buy has ad-
eftbugh trat It has helped. I Friday March 25 1955 . THE BARTLETT TRIBUNE.

asked that this be done now.
All of this Federal aid in
volves lots of "red tape" which
we would like to avoid but we do
get help. Doubtless if each state
would provide the help that is
needed within its borders it
could do it moie economically
and satisfactorily than the Fed-
eral Government can. I under-
stand that some of our Texas
people have suggested that the
Federal Government should
withdraw all aid and leave tho
matter of drought relief to the
States. The only problem is
would the drought sufferers get
any aid this way? Would the
State actually provide the mon-
ey needed for the program?
I think thse situations ore
good illustrations of the diffi-
culty of leaving many problems

pressing physical problem. The
Soil Conservation Service is do
ing a most vital work in this
respect. There are many people
who talk of turning this service
over to the States. In fact the
Secretary of Agriculture has
suggested as much. I think tho
State of Texas should do every
job that it can and will before
calling on the Federal Govern-
ment but there just wasn't any-
thing done for a hundred years.
Our soil got in a pretty bad
way. Now I don't want to des-
troy the Federal Soil Conserva-
tion Service until the States
actually put up the cash to car-
ry on the work the Federal
Agency is doing.
Just this afternoon the
House passed the second Sup-
plemental Appropriation Bill.
Among other items this bill pro-
vided a reappropriation of the
upspent balance of about seven
million dollars for the cost of
land treatment to stop blowing
in the old "Dust Bowl" area.
The Federal Government has al-
so matched State and local funds
so as to give a reduction on
freight on hay for the drought
areas. The Federal Government
has provided rather substantial
help to livestock growers in
these disaster areas in reducing
the cost of other feeds. Most
people leel thac it has not done
rather that the States might
themselves handle many of the
programs now handled by the
Federal Government but most
States refuse to act on many
of these problems. When tho
State government fails to act
on any matter of public con-
cern the tendency is for some
other agency of the people gen
erally the Federal Government
to act even though the action
could better be taken by the
State. In other words the way
to prevent Federal "encroach-
ment" is for the State to deal
with problems in the first place.
The Department of Agricult-
ure had many red faces when it
developed that it had over-estimated
farm income for last
year by half a billion dollars.
Most of us have known that
farmers were suffering an in-
creasing squeeze but Secretary
Benson told the Agriculture
Committee that farm prices had
stabilized and that we were
now "moving in the right di-
rection." He gave us figures to
prove that the net loss in farm
income last year was only $800-
000000 which is no small sum
itself but the very next day
his own Department stated that
there was a. half billion dollar
error and that actually farm in-
come had dropped $1300000000
instead of $800000000. Add to
