Few oldtlmers carry so much

sale here last Thursday and
Just before it opened he met
Elmer Womble, also of Here-
ford, in the Tri-State Fair live-
stock barn.
‘‘Rat, you're looking a little
thin,” remarked Womble.
“Yeah, I’ve had a hard win-
ter,” Jowell shot back. ‘‘But
come spring, the grass’ll get
green again and I’ll fatten up.”

In bis inaugural address, the
President outlined the philosophy
that will guide him during the
next four years. He summed up
this philosophy in this statement:
•‘The test of our progress is not
whether we add more to tin* abund-
ance of those who have much; it
Is whether we provide enough for
those who have too little”.
Two billion dollars just about
covers the damage done by insect
pests in this country each year,
according to Lee A. Strong, chief
of the bureau of entomology and
plant quarantine, United States
Department of Agriculture. This
sum is estimated from the known
amount—about $900,000,000—of the
damage done annually by 34 of the
more important insect pests. For
example, the boll weevil exacts
an average yearly toll of $164,-
000,000 and the corn ear worm
which attacks cotton and toma-
toes as well as corn, a toll of $104-.
000,000.
The world has more than 700,-
000 kinds of insects that have
Iteen named and descrit>ed, and
new ones turn up every now and
then. In North America there
are 00,900 kinds of insects—0,500

subject to insect infestation, nor

ODD GRAINS TESTED

CLOVER NOT A FIELD CROP
UNTIL AFTER REVOLUTION
In improving the small grains,
plant breeders in the United
States Department of Agriculture
In the cooperative work with the
States Agricultural Experiment
Stations seek varieties that yield
well, resist lodging and shattering
and are of good quality. These
are general alms. But there are
regional problems. For example:
In the South there is demand
for oat varieties resistant to
crown rust. In the upper Mlssls-
ippi Valley breeders work for re-
sistance to stem rust. The devel-
opment of smut-resistant oats is a
specific need in nearly au oat-|
growing sections. The discovery
that there are definite races of
the oat smuts has complicated the
problem. Drouth-resistant oats
is a distinct need in the Great
Plains, and where cereul hays are
grown there is need for improve-
ment in varieties for grazing and
forage.
The oat breeder, with his know-
ledge of genetics, proceeds with a
high degree of certainty to com-
the
new and
better varieties.

Although mention of red clover
is ftiund in early colonial history,
it probably was not until after
the Revolution that farmers plant-
ed it as a forage hay and soil-
building crop, according to rec-
ords In the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry.
An early history of Pennsylvan-
ia (about 1730) reports that lit-
tle seed of any grass was sown,
as the plow was seldom used to
prepare for meadows; that red
and white clover were pro|>ogat-
ed only by the manure. But clover
h«,J liftun IntnvtueMl before that.
It was reported in (he fields of
Long Jsland In 1679. In 1749 it
was growing on the hills and tn
the woods of New York.
A Philadelphia writer remem
ls*rs a bullock that was ill be-
eause of eating too much clover
and says ‘‘as clover was only then
(1745-40) making its entrance into
the nelghltorhood, they were nil
strangers to its effect”.
From the early history of Vir-
ginia it is obvious that the pro-
duet ion of hay was not of any
great importance. Agriculture cen-
tered alsiut tobacco. New lands
were nought rather than methods
of improving worn-out soils.
FARMERS PAY NEARLY FOUR
MILLIONS ON STATE TAXER
Payment of over $3,985,400 of
state and county taxes In Texas
has removed the names of thous-
ands of farmers from delinquent
tax lists and helped to reduce
farm tax sales in the state to half
the 1933 level, according to A. Cl
Williams, president o t the Fed-
eral Land Bank of Houston.
Some 28,900 Texas farmers re-
financed their debts through the
Federal I-and Bank Commissioner
since the Farm Credit Adminis-
tration was organized and, In
! many instances, the loans Included
funds to pay back taxes owned
bv farmers to local tax authori-
ties.
The total amount loaned for the
purpose equals an average tax
payment of about $140 per fanner
refinanced.
The $3,985,400 covers tax pay-
ments in connection with $189,-
850,000 of land bank and commis-
sioner loans made in Texas from
May 1, 1033, to January 1, 1936.
AI>out 2.8 per cent of this amount
was used for tax payments.
