Our great national farm magazines

Country Gentleman” has started a
\ cry interesting page entitled, “To-

Journal’' has employed two bright

preciate this. Our undeveloped po-

news for your pages in the immed-
i,de years ahead For our lands have
.-mown but cotton seriously in- our
• .me. As we apply science to them,
not quite perfected to the point that
they can recommend it geherally
yet in this climate.
Our cotton Improvement contest is
an effective means through which
the county agents carry the findings
of science straight to the farms. Cot
ton here has shrunk from close to
three mi.lion acres to barely one.
But we are doing a better job on
that and making far more to the
acre. Will we continue to grow cot
ton? Looks like we might on the
lands best suited to it under mechan
ization.

Clinton came back to score their
touchdown in the second period.
Hamrick passed to Galloway for the
score. Tommy Sease kicked what

|;,0 3n >. thoj too had an interest Agent Cannon tells me
that during the past summer they,
distributed 1,186 young quail to 42
4-H Club boys over Lanastecr coun-!
ty. Most of them had pretty good
luck raising them and releasing them
on their farms.
Raising quail and releasing them
in the past has given questionable i
results, from 'all 1 hear.’Some give - ’
the. scarcity of year-around tood as
the reason for so few quail. In Lan- j
caster, as well as in most other coun- 1
ties of the state, the 4-H boys are i
trying to remedy this by setting out
lespedeza bicolor plants at spots all |
around over the farms. These are;
furnished by our state game depart- j
ment. And scores of folks have told j
me that if you have any quail you,
will surely find them around these!
bicolor patches. In fact, on one hunt j
ing club they told me they had a
dog that would just go from one bi-;
color patch to the other. Once the!
birds were not there, but he pointed
anyway, knowing they should be.
turned out to be a winning point I Barry hit left tackle to score. Gus
Pringels kicked the fextra point.
Furman scored again with only 15
seconds gone in the second quarter.
The Hurricanes started from the PC
17. Pedrick’s pass to End Roland
Barefoot took Furman to the seven.
Williams carried over from the one
yard line four plays later. Pringels
again kicked the extra jpdint.
- Halfway iir the second period, de-
after touchdown.
Herndon and Miller were the out
standing performers for the losers,
while Hamrick, Galloway and Sease
were great in victory for Clinton.

thinks Congress can cut federal out
lays as much as $20,000,000,000 over
the next two years and clqar the way
for a tax cut.
His belief was based on state
ments of President-elect Dwight D.
Eisenhower and Republican leaders
who will control Congress and the
national administration next year.
Byrd, who refused to endorse the
Democratic national ticket in the
presidential campaign, said in a tele
phone interview that Congress
should be able to t^im appropria
tions bills $10,000,000,000 for the fis-
to $10,000,000,000 in the follwoing
year.
He said reductions the first year
would balance the federal budget
and those the next year should per
mit a reduction in taxes. He noted
that the excess profits tax law ex
pires next year and said it should be
revised, if it is extended, because it
is too burdensome for some firms.
Byrd expressed belief that mili
tary spending could be cut by
achieving greater efficiency and that
other cuts would come automatically
cal year beginning next July 1. He as spending for capital outlay tapers
forsaw another cut of $5,000,000,000 off. •

Mending the fences was an annual
job. The slothful fellow just laid not
another rail as they rotted aut at
the bottom. But the better farmers
wouldn’t think of doing that. They
would raise the fence up and insert
the new rail on the bottom next to
the ground. By next year the sap
would have rotted off, and the long-
lasting heart rail was elevated a
notch. In that way a rail would us
ually last until it finally reached the
top by these slow stages.
