Apple Tree Versus

OR A LIVING TREE?
A CROSS. OR A TORCH,
By Ruth Taylor
J.i'
U. N. KliLE FOR JAPAN . . . Turn the problem of occupation of
Japan over to the United Nations is the advice that Gen. Douglas
MacArthur recently gave the world. He is shown with Ambassador
Paul V. McNutt, who visited Tokyo recently.
If you ever visit Jeb CrOwell'a
farm, he’ll take you right out on
that hack porch of his and show
you his apple tree.
“There,” says Jeb, “is nature’s
nobjest creation—fifty years, and
bearin’ still the finest cider apples
in the county!”
But last fall, when a group of
us was there, Lud Denny points
across the river to his grain fields
and says: “There’s an even finer
sight! Acres and acres of golden
gr.'.in you can make dozens of
fitting things with—including
•Jtne, sparkling beer.”
Both of them got so eloquent <jn
the subject, that the rest of us
worked up quite a thirst; so Jeb
goes to the icebox for beer and
cider. And when the refreshments
come, Lud chooses cider, and Jeb
takes the beer!
From where I sit, that’s the
answer to most disputes. You can
talk all you want, but when it
comes to tastes and preferences,
there’s just no argument.

Cotton Crop Insurance
Secretary of Agriculture An-
derson has announced that pay-
ment has been halted on claims
I for reimbursement of losses on
♦he 1946 cotton crop under the
crop insurance program. The
reason for this is that funds haw
been exhausted, though nearly
half the approved claims are still
unpaid. Premiums were earned
on about 42,000.000 pounds of the
1946 cotton crop, while loss claims
were presented on three or four
times that much cotton. As a re-
sult. an investigation has been
started on cotton crop insurance
by the Department of Agricul-
ture. Efforts are now being made
to get Congress to appropriate
sufficient money to pay all losses.

Farm Lookout
The Department of Agriculture
forecasts that American farmers
will enjoy another bumper crop
year, as the nation emerges from
a generally favorable winter.
Wheat prospects are especially
good and corn planting will pro-
bably reach an all time high,
with the result that more hogs
and cattle will be fattened and
meat supplies will increase. Pas-
tures, too, are generally good.
Unfavorable weather condi-
tions, plus a lack of machinery,
fertilizer and seeds, have dim-
med the prospects of large har-
vests in Europe; therefore, it is
anticipated that the demand for
American crops in the heavily
populated parts of that*continent
will continue. Food prices, which
are about 98 per cent higher now
than in prewar days, although
causing the salaried industrial
worker to tighten his purse-
strings, have been a trrrific boon
to farmers in raising their stand-
ard of living.
Forest Resources
One of East Texas’ most im-
portant natural resources in its
forests. It is estimated that there
are approximately ten and one
half million a<y-es of icommercial
forest land in East Texas, exclud-
ing eedSrbrake, post oak, and
cross timber areas.
The Federal Government, in
cooperation with the State author-
ities and private timberland own-
ers, is furnishing $128,627 of the
budget this fiscal year; the State
of Texas, $139,234; and private
owners, $24,408, for the protection
and replenishing of our forested
areas in Texas. Forest Service
officials estimate that $879,000 an-
nually would be required to ade-
quately protect all commercial
forest lands and wooded areas,
instead of the $292,269 used this
year.
Everyone can cooperate in re-
ducing the larger amount sug-
gested through exercising care
in the cutting of timber, being
ever-mindful of the danger and
destruction of forest fires, and
by practicing reforestation on his
own property.

We didn’t have services at the
church this week as a result of
sickness and rainy weather. We
are looking forward to the com-
ing of spring with warm weather
and fewer sick people.
Very few in the community
planted corn and gardens last
week.
Mrs. Alice McCombs has the
flu this week. Mrs. Zona Snod-
grasa in no better and Grandpa
Rex is about the same. Mrs. Joe
Moore has the flu. We wish for
all our sick people a speedy re-
covery.
Mrs. M. W. Creamer visited
Mr. and Mrs. Naman Anders of
Commerce Sunday afternoon.
Henry Moore of Dallas visited
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lut
Moore Sunday.
Each of us has a burden to
carry. Each of us has a load that
seems too great for our strength.
With one it may be a burden of
grief, with another poverty, .with
another ill-health— or heavy re-
sponsibilities, heartaches, mis-
understanding, stilled talents, ex-
pected opportunities that never
materialize.
What we make of these bur-
dens, depend upon ourselves
alone. They are our load of wood,
which we alone can carry.
To some their burdens are a
cross under which the body is
bowed. The valiant may strive
to carry the cross, but each step
becomes more ditficult as the
load weighs down the spirit and
tires the heart. A few glory in
martyrdom—but being a martyr
is a lonely life.
To others their burdens are a
torch. Out of the dead wood of
their lives they make a flaming
beacon to light the way ahead
for those who follow. They use
their sorrows bravely as they
face them boldly. The light they
give forth is the high flame of
courage, brightening the paths of
those around them.
Still others make of their bur-
dens a living tree. They assume
the thankless task of planting
their griefs that out of them may
grow a living thing—a tree which
will give shade and comfort to the
weary traveler, a place of beauty
in the world, where the song of
nesting birds may bring solace
to the ear as the leafy branches
give rest to the heart. They tend
their sorrows, not the remember
them—but because their griefs
have made them warm-hearted,
ready to give to others even that
which they may never possess
for themselves.
To bear a sorrow bravely is
a noble thing. But, I think, to
bear a burden graciously is the
better part. Once I knew a wo-
man who was living a life of
what seemed utter drudgery, add-
ed^ to by the ingratitude and
querulousness of the one whose
burden she was trying to lift.
When someone commiserated
with her on her lot and com-
mented on her cheerful, consider-
ate attitude in the face of provo-
cation, she said: “Well, if I am
going to be a martyr, the least
I do is to be a gracious one. There
is no sense in both of us being
uncomfortable.”
Fire Marshall Said It Would Burn
And It Did!
Fire Marshall Chas. Atkins at
Falfurrias made an inspection of
the business district. He pointed
out several accumulations of
trash, which he declared should
be cleaned up to remove fire
hazards. One hour later the fire
alarm sounded, and sure enough
a fire had started just as he p>4
dieted. The blaze was extingui!
ed without serious damage.
