crime rate be written off as
to the great urban cen-
tanf Gan violence in the streets be for-
gotten by those who do not live in New
York, Philadelphia, or Chicago?
The answer, of course, is: “No.” Ev
ery year’s appalling crime statistics, show
that the percentage of increase is greater in
the suburbs than in the big cities. And
the rural areas are now getting their tragic
share of the national lawlessness.
It’s now your problem and ours . . .
wherever we live. Crime and rioting, J.
Edgar Hoover reported to President John
son, reflect “an increasing breakdown
across the nation in respect for the law and
rights of other people to be secure in their
persons and their property.”
Much could be accomplished if the
morabauthority of the Presidency were to
challenge the do-gooders who stack the
cards against the law-abiding. If Mr. John
son were to call on the Congress to untie
the hands of local police forces from bonds
imposed by the Federal courts, he would be
moving towards the restoration of law and
order. He would be acting to end a crime
wave which in six years has sera serious
violations of law increasing five times as
fast as the population.
Senator Strom Thurmond writes: ‘"The
number one sound fiscal expert in
this country is Senator Harry Byrd, chair
man of the Senate Finance Committee. He
has estimated that it would take 600,000
years to pay off our current national in
debtedness if we began today applying fl
per minute against our debt. And, we are
not even applying a penny per year. In
stead, we are going deeper into debt each
year with no promise of any debt payments
in the foreseeable future. Our annual in
terest on the debt for each is $11.1 billion.
This amounts to the tax take from 11
states. Any nation or any individual can
live it up without incurring economic reper
cussions for a time, but there is always a
pay-up day some day.”
In 1956, the federal govenmsnt owned
just under 408 miffion acres of hod ia this
country—21.4 per cent of Hie total
Last year it owned almost 770
acres—or 38.9 per cent of aO the land.

Time To Shut Off The Faucet.
\
Living Proof
Long recognized as some of the finest
fanning lands in the nation, it’s no accident
that the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta is also the
most heavily protected cropland in the
world. The crop protection of the modern
farmer—pesticides—has been beneficially
used there since 1924. Contrary to dire
predictions of doomsaying conservationists,
crop-spraying actually has increased wild
life in the Delta.
Today counties with open turkey sea
sons have almost doubled. In 1946, deer
were legal in only a few counties. As late
as ’63 the legal kill of bucks was only 2J100.
Population increases began about ’46, sky
rocketed more than 20 percent yearly; the
’63 kill is estimated at more than 18,000.
Doves, rabbits and squirrels were never
more abundant and fishing is unsurpassed.
This living evidence of increases in both
crop production and game has understand
ably made farmers resentful of pesticide
scare-talk. Facts of the Mississippi rebirth
and abundance deny that wildlife popula
tions are destroyed by pesticide programs.
Insect-control programs help produce high
er cotton yields pa- acre, thereby allowing
more land to be planted in soybeans, oats,
wheat and soil-conservation programs that
produce food and cover for game.
Modern farming practices are respon
sible for an increase in wildlife, longer open
seasons and generously increased bag lim
its.

THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
This is a booklet that has h^pn issued for ITS
years and is published by Yankee, Incorporated,
Du Win, New Hampshire. As to how their pre
dictions are made, 1 do not know. But the book
contains forecasts about the coming winter,
whether it win he mild, cold, wet, dry—and gives
predictions also for the full year ahead. I am not
guaranteeing the forecasts of the Old Farmer's
Almanac, but the editors have been at it for a
long time and should be able to make a good es
timate.
So far as I know, all sections of the United
States gets the same Almanac and the same fore
cast, wherever they live. However, suggestions
are given readers for making adjuatmnts to fit
the various areas, la my opinion, the Old Farm
er’s Almanac is a valuable book and I recom
mend it.
THE INEVITABLE CURVE
OF ACTION AND REACTION
Those who have followed this column for many
years will remember that I often refer to Sir
Isaac Newton's “Law of Action and Reaction.”
In fact, it was on the basis of this Law that Bab-
son's Reports was originally founded. Readers
who have been to my conferences will remember
that the large (Richard Knight) auditorium at
Babson Park carries a reference to the Law of
Action and Reaction, which law I am using today
to help forecast what the coming winter will de
velop. I am breaking away from professional
meterological forecasting methods and basing my
experiments on the up and down curvature which
applies to almost everything on earth—from the
waves of the ocean to the tempertaures of the
land
My interpretation is that—considering the
whole country—if one traces this curve over pe
riods of years the ups and downs will come close

The word “bunk,” meaning nonsense, originated
in a speech in the U. S. Congress.
Rep. Felix Walker served in the House of Repre
sentatives from 1817 to 1823, representing a district
in North Carolina, including Buncombe County. Once,
during a House session, he launched into a speech
that had nothing to do with the matter at hand. And,
despite the protests of his colleagues, he spoke at
great length.
Later he explained that he was “speaking for Bun
combe.” Buncombe (pronounced bunkumb) was
shortened to “bunk” and acquired the meaning of
speechhmaking to please constituents. Later it came
to mean anything irrelevant or nonsensical.

Espionage In
The Factory
Did you ever hear of espionage in a fac
tory or a laboratory? Perhaps not—but it
exists on an ominous and increasing scale.
And it is a threat i$t just to the indus
tries and enterprises which it victimizes—
but to the public at large.
It occurs when an employee steals se
crets—which may represent a vast amount
of money, manpower and time—and sells
them to a competitor.
Associated Press Writer Jerry Buck re
ports: “The drug industry is particularly
vulnerable to secret stealing. One Ameri
can company made a major breakthrough
for a wonder drug only to see its formula
stolen and sold to a European manufactur
er. They were particularly distressed when
the federal government began buying the
drug from the European producer because
it was cheaper.
