out and a two-hitter going
into the sixth inning, when
Brenham exploded with five
hits and five runs and then
went on to defeat La Grange
7 to 2, in the opening game
of the Maifest at Brenham

"Skinny” Bridges, curve-
bailer of Allen Academy,
limited La Grange to four
hits, but trailed 2-0 until
bedlam broke loose In the

tight in the pinches and, ex-
cept for the first inning when
the Demons scored both of
their runs, permitted but
one man to reach third base.

Editor’* not*: The Philosopher
on his Johnson grui farm on Ce-
dar Creek may be speaking for
himself, but we doubt he’s speak-
ing for most farmers in his letter
this week.
Dear editar:
Was talkin with a government
man the other day and he was
complainin about the way I keep
my farmin records, wanted to
know how he was gonna give me
a crop allotment if I didri*t know
what I’d been plantin for the past
five years on every foot of land
I got.
“Trouble with you farmers is
you don't keep proper records,” he
complained. “If you’d be more
business-like, you’d be a lot better

off,” he added, although I
tell him if we was he’d be worse
off, as he might not have a job if
we was as efficient as he thought
we ought to be. In fact, I have
some times thought it would be an
interesting experiment to have all
the agricultural experts swap plac-
es with farmers for a year, just to
see what would happen. Might cut
down on the crop surplus, if
nothing else, as raisin a crop from
a tractor seat is different from
raisin it from behind a desk, and
once I got to be a expert, it might
be hard to ever get me to ge back
to farmin.
But I can tell you why farmers,
at least why I don’t keep farm re-
cords.
In the first place, it’s a lot of
trouble. Ain’t many farmers got
secretaries, and writin down all
your own figures is out of our
line of work. Ain’t many business
men who’d have any better records
than I got if they didn’t have
somebody to keep em for em.
But the main reason, if you
want to get to the bottom of it, is
that we don’t want to know how
we’re comin out. If all the farm-
ers in the country kept accurate
books on what they was doin and
makin, the country might face
starvation on account of so many
farmers quittin to get into some-
thing profitable. I don’t mind
worryin with a crop all year,
fightin the weather and the weeds
usin up my equipment and myself
to boot, and haulin it to town and
askin somebody what it’s worth,
since I was the fellow that raised
it and wouldn’t have no idea my-
self, and I don’t mind takin home
what I get and startin all over
again on another year’s crop, but I
just don’t want any accurate
figures on my operations starin
me in the face. Like it is now, I
can say well I come out pretty
good on cotton this year I guess,
made a little on cattle, and so
forth, but if I had a accurate set
of books showin to the penny my
profit and lodb, it would take all
the fun out of farmin.
You can call me lazy and triflin
and backward, but the fundament-
al reason I don’t keep books on my
farmin operations is that I just
want to know how bad the finan-
cial situation out here is. Them
experts can carry record-keepin
too far, and undermine the entire
farmin situation.
Yours faithfully, J. A.

Mies This One!
To meet your needs in 1959...
we have to start now!
Most of the oil you are using today was found more than
ten years ago. It takes about that long to explore and develop
potential resources to their full, efficient capacity.
First, you have to find the oil. Geologists and geophysicists spend
months of scientific study before they pronounce an area a "prospect.”
It takes more months to drill exploratory wells; and if they find oil,
it takes years to drill the other wells that define the field, establish
the amount of oil in it, and bring it into full production.
Today, this year, continuously, we must develop the oil resources
we may need without notice — on some future tomorrow.
In spite of minor fluctuations in demand, the need for oil has
increased steadily over the years; and every now and again,
there is a sudden, heavy, unexpected need for additional
supplies, like the demand for fuel oil on the Eastern seaboard
during the cold winter of 1947-48. Furthermore, we must face
the fact that in'this atomic era, in this day of the jet airplane and
the long-range submarine, the U. S. oil industry must prepare
now to meet the needs of any future national emergency.
That s why the American oil industry is undertaking the heavy
costs of exploring the Tidelands of the continental shelf in
order to bring the oil fields that geologists think are there
« into full production now. Rest assured that the oil will not
be wasted; on the contrary, it will be ready for instant use
when you and the nation need it.
