Know-How Counts
Many of the better fishermen sub-
cribe to the theory that the proper
presentation of the lure without ex
posing yourself to the fish, directly
or indirectly, is more important
than the exact lure. This of course
la just a theory but the idea of re
maining invisible to the trout ac
tually is of first rate importance.
Shining rods, bright clothes, quick
movements, and undue activity
along the streambank and within
the water itself are dead giveaways
to the wary trout. It is a popular
misconception that sounds created
by talking will disturb the fish. Un
derwater noises created by care
less wading however are a distinct
disturbance. The angler who walks
along in slow motion, carefully
studying each bit of fishing water
before he commits himself and fi
nally approaches a likely spot on
hands and knees if necessary is
the fellow having the most fun and
catching the wisest and best fish.
Not every fisherman manages to
commit all the errors but most Ike
Waltons are guilty of some of the
mistakes. Very often lines are too
light in weight for the rod in order
to do a good job of casting. Using
leaders that are too heavy and too
short have scared away many a
nice fish. Leaders shorter than sev
en feet are not necessary. Although
good results sometimes come about
by fishing downstream most of the
better fish catchers cast directly
upstream or quartering upstream,
whether using dry or wet flies or
ether lures and bait. The ability to
take it easy and become extreme
ly observant while on the stream
is an attribute that goes a long
way in producing more fish in the
creel.

Leave 'Em Alone
An example of what State Con-
servption Departments mean when
they say to leave young wildlife
alone is offered by a recent release
of the United Press, the Wildlife
Management Institute reports.
/According to this report, Mr. and
Mrs. Seaton Barker, owners of a
health resort near Colusa, Califor
nia, adopted a fawn four years ago
and raised it on a bottle. All chil
dren in the neighborhood made a
pet of “Bambi,” as the deer was
called, and they delighted in posing
for their pictures with their arms
around the sleek neck of the now
full-grown buck. Bambi was their
playmate until a few weeks ago
when a sudden change took place in
his personality.
A few days ago, the deer was seen
with blood on his antlers, and one
Nick MiKlrulin was found dead near
his car, Ms body trpmpled and torn
by hooves and antlers. A posse shot
fits buck as it tried to break into
an automobile in an attempt to
reach two screaming women who
had barely reached safety ahead
of him.
What might have happened if this
instinctive, seasonal aggressiveness
had over-taken the deer at one. of
the children’s photography parties
is not pleasant to contemplate.

Heavy Fly Line
Many veteran trout fishermen
know this/ but many others may not
know that the persnickety trout can
be “put down” by the fly line itself
—especiafly if the line is a very
heavy one. When the water is low
and clear is when to be especially
careful about your choice of line
and the manner of its presentation.
However, the heavy line disadvan
tage can be overcome by adding
length to the leader, say, using one
from t to 12 feet long.

CORNER
FIXATION ON FATHER
By Richard H. Wilkinson
M R. Harlow sat bolt upright in
his chair. The psychology
lecturer was saying: "And in the
normal family, when the daughter
reaches the age of 12 or 13 it is
quite likely that her fixation will
shift from her
mother to her
father. They will
become great
friends. Often
this fixation on
father will remain until the daughter
transfers her affections to a mate.
However, if father does not respond
to daughter’s fixation, the child will,
unconsciously, shift back to mother,
who, in many cases has resented
the original transfer—”
Mr. Harlow rose. He made his
way down the long aisle, paying no
heed to the annoyed glances of
other listeners, gained the outside
lobby and paused there, dabbing at
a moist brow with his handkerchief.
So that was it! he told himself.
So that was the cause of his wife’s
indignation and wrath and resent
ment. In his mind’s eye the pieces
of the puzzle that had troubled him
for the past month fell into place.
He understood now what had hap
pened; he could see it taking place,
step by step. Virginia, his only child
had attained the age of 13. She was
nearing maturity. Gradually, un
consciously, her fixation had trans
ferred from mother to father. The
two had become great friends. Mr.
Harlow had been tremendously
proud and happy.
Not so Mrs. Harlow, Mrs. Harlow
was annoyed. She hadn’t under
stood and presently her annoyance
GRASSROOTS
Senator Byrd Tries To Save Nation Nine Billion
By Wright A. Patterson
S ENATOR BYRD, Democrat of
Virginia, says, and knows, that
there can be a cut from the Pres
ident’s budget, that calls for taxes
of better than 71 billions of dol
lars in order to pay as we go for
our war preparations. Of these
more than 71 billions. Senator
Byrd proposes to cut more than
nine billion, without hampering the
defense preparations to the ex
tent of a single dollar. He would
take out of that budget only those
items that call for expenditures
on strictly home projects, either
those proposed to start, such as
the St. Lawrence waterway, or
those for continuing work on proj
ects started in previous years, or
those new or continuing projects,
in this country or abroad, that
have no possible connection with
our American defense.
In the United States there are
approximately 30 million fami
lies. That immediately unneces
sary nine billion of taxes,
means a burden of some $300
as an average for each of
those 30 million families. That
is a sizable item in the budg
et of the average American
family. In adding such an
amount to the family expendi
tures, adjustments must be
made to provide for the un
needed tax item. A family of
my acquaintance had a family
discussion as to what expense
they could cat out in order to
provide for that additional new
tax item.
There are few American families
that would not willingly sacrifice
family or % personal interests in
order to assist to the utmost in the
effort to protect this, their, country
against Stalin and his Red army.
They fully appreciate living in this
land of freedom, liberty and op
portunity, but they object to mak
ing sacrifices so as to pay un
needed taxes in these inopportune
times; they object to financing more
TVA enterprises, building more
dams to produce more power or
more light, when private enter
prise will provide all we can use;
starting new projects such as the
St. Lawrence waterway, or contin
uing work upon those that were
started in past years.
Those things we can get along
without until a more opportune
time. That family could not see
why they should be called upon to
discontinue little Margaret’s music
lessons, at a time when she was
making such magical progress, or
why they must stop movies for
Margaret and the two boys, or
deprive them of ice cream cones
or candies, and cut out their week
ly allowance. These expenses, plus
the new clothes and new shoes for
the children, a new dress for
Mother and Dad’s annual new suit,
must all be sacrificed in order to
pay the tax collector, so the gov
ernment could do things now it
could just as well do at some other
4, me.
Of course the Dad and Mother ot
this family realize that the $300
they must pay will not all be col
lected from them directly. A por
tion will be paid indirectly, but
directly or indirectly it must be
paid in full. The increased wages
and the increased taxes the manu-
facturer and processors pay will
be added to the price of their com
modities, and members of the fam
ilies pay in the price of what they
buy. The problem in the case of
the 30 1 million families is that they
have no one to whom they can
pass this extra $300 they must pay.
Whether it is paid directly or in
directly, it must come out of the
family budget, and each one of
those 30 million must make drastic
sacrifices to pay their $300 that the
government may spend nine bil
lion on things we could get along
without at this inopportune time.
They consider the forcing of such
sacrifices unfair, and they vow
dire retribution when election time
comes. Senator Byrd’s effort to
save that nine billion would seem
to be better politics than that of
the President in demanding the
sacrifices the paying of that $300
would entail on each of the 30
million families.

changed to resentment against her
husband.
. . . Mr. Harlow returned late
that night. It was not his habit
to return home late, but tonight
there was a definite purpose.
Mrs. Harlqpr had retired, and
10 minutes after he entered the
house his daughter Virginia
came in. Virginia had been to
a party.
Seeing a light in the living room.
Virginia came to the door. At sight
of her father sitting there alone
she uttered a little cry of delight
and bounced upon his knee, with
the full intention of providing him
with details concerning her eve
ning’s activities. Something about
the expression on her parent’s face,
however, restrained her.
M R. Harlow smiled at her in a
manner that bespoke faint em
barrassment. He attempted to brush
something from his coat but failed.
Thus having had her attention at
tracted to the something, Virginia
investigated and found it to be a
daub of powder. She looked at it
and frowned. Looking further she
discovered a long strand of blond
hair.
Horror filled her eyes, a hurt
look, an expression of awe and
wonder and incredulity, gradually
giving way to something bordering
on accusation and scorn.
"Why, Daddy! Whatever—
who—”7 Mr.\ Harlow inter
rupted, gesturing airily, saying
something about an apology,
presently lapsing into a lengthy
but rather stupid discourse and
ending by stating that it would
not be wise or necessary to men
tion the matter to her mother.
Virginia stared. Abruptly she
flung her arms about her father’s
neck and promised him that no mat
ter what happened she would keep
his secret. It would be their secret.
Poor mother. She must never know.
But he must promise—
Yes, yes. Of course he’d promise
It was all very silly anyway. Just
one of those regretful things that
would never be repeated.
After awhile Virginia rose and
left him. Her attitude brought a
lump into Mr. Harlow’s throat. But
when she had gone he sighed in
vast relief. Beginning tomorrow, he
knew, his daughter’s fixation would
be transferred back to her mother.
Mrs. Harlow would cease to be ir
ritable and resentful. Harmony
would reign once more in the house
hold. And sometime, Mr. Harlow
told himself, when Virginia was
safely married and away, he would
explain it all—and hope that she
would understand.

IN WASHINGTON
WALTER S M E A O. Wh U Corrcsoonrient
Three-Point Program
A ble eric johnston, boss of
the economic stabilization ad
ministration, has announced a three-
point program which he says must
be placed into effect to hold down
the high cost of living and inflation
in the mobilization emergency.
These three points include: (1)
Holding industrial profits to 85 per
cent of the best three out of the
four years, 1946 to 1949; (2) fixing
June 30 as last date on which labor
can expect increases due to cost-
of-living and esculator clauses in
labor contracts’ and (3) freezing
agricultural parity prices as of
January 1& 1951.
This last point of the program la
the one which is causing such a bit
ter battle in the congress, for it
will require congressional action to
freeze the parity price by amend
ment of the Agricultural Act of
1949.
Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannan, already is
up In arms against any such
pregram for the farmers and
flatly declares that farm prices
have little er nothing to de with
causes of Inflation or the high
cost of food prices.
, And he proceeds to prove his
point: (1) By showing that farm
prices are on the down grade while
farmers’ expenses are going up;
(2) you can buy more food and
services today with an hour’s labor
than even in the lush year of 1929;
(3) that farmers are being paid less
for their labor, less for their in
vestment and less for their manage
ment ability than other segments of
the economy; (4) that only a third
of cost index goes for food, and of
this, 10 per cent is for such items
as coffee, tea, fish and other items
which have no relation to Ameri
can farms or farmers, and (5) if
all farm commodities now below
parity should immediately rise to
the parity level it would have some<
thing less than a 5 per cent in
crease, which in turn would only
mean about 1.5 per cent rise in the
over-all consumer price index.
Brannan takes the 1950 farm
Income and reduces it to terms
of wages and shows that the
farmer today to getting only 69
cents an hour for his labor as
compared te $1.46 for manufac
turing laborers; $2.63 in the
building industry and $1.17 for
retail trade workers.
Farm IneoniB Lowest
He shows that the farmer is get
ting an allowance of 5 per cent on
his investment as compared to 15
per cent for manufacturers in 1950
after taxes, and that while the
farmers income is falling; the na
tional income is on the up grade.
For instance, he shows the net
farm income in 1949 as $14.1 billion
as compared to a national income
of $216.8 billion; farm net income
of $13.0 in 1950 as compared to a
national income of $235.6 billion and
the per capita farm and non-farm
income as follows:

Purchasinf Power
Scotching the oft-repeated dem
onstration that "a bill will buy so
much less than it would two or
three or 20 years ago,” Mr. Bran
nan shows that an hour of factory
labor will buy one - fourth more
loaves of bread than it would in
1939 and a half more loaves than
in 1929, twice as many as in 1919
and two and a half times more than
in 1914; that an hour’s work will
buy as much round steak as it did
in 1949, only a sixth less than it
did when steak was selling at bar
gain prices in 1939 and a fourth
more than it did in 1929 or 1919.
Proeessing Costs More
And the secretary makes this
point In January of 1951 a typical
market basket of food for a family
of three was costing at the rate of
$709 per year. But of that $709, mar
keting costs were taking $352 and
farmers were getting $357. s
The point being that we are
getting better processing, bet
ter servicing and better pack
aging, all of which oosts money.
If we, Mr. Brannan said, had
been satisfied with the same
kinds and quantities of food we
bought in 1935 to 1939 with 23
per cent of our disposable in
come, it would have cost us
only 18 per cent of our 1956
disposable income.
Farm Bloe United
Mr. Eric Johnston will find a unit
ed farm bloc opposed to his premise
of freezing parity prices as of Jan
uary 15, or of any other date, in
this congress. It may be, however,
that just as the government is pay
ing industry a subsidy in increased
prices for all-out production of de
fense goods,/the government may
have to pay the farmer a subsidy
for all-out production of the food,
for farmers are engaged in war pro

clover replenish rundown stocks of
organic matter. They put mineral
ized humus deep down in the sub
soil, unlock heavily compacted
clay soils and improve drainage and

Wheat growers in the famous
"pocket area” of southwestern In
diana have proved the value of
feeding their wheat and legume
seedings, Lathrope points out.
Charles Doades, of Davies county,
who harvested 42 bushels per acre
of No. 1 Vigo wheat on an 80-acre
field last summer is a strong be
liever in fertilizer. He says he
got his high yields by adding 650
pounds per acre of 3-12-12 to the
seeding the previous fall. Then he
top-dressed the entire acreage with
nitrogen last spring. Following
wheat harvest, there was a thick,
lush sweet clover.
Fanners Urged to Check
Livestock Mineral Intake
Minerals are so important in the
diet of animals that livestock will
live longer without any fee * than
they will on feed that contained
no minerals.
This fact was pointed out recently
by the American Veterinary Medi
cal Association In urging farmers
to watch the mineral intake of live-
stock as they edme <nto the new
spring production season.
"Although animals require more
than a dozen different minerals,
two of them, calcium and phos
phorus, make up 70 per cent of the
mineral matter in the 'body,” the
AVMA said. "Dairy cows and lay
ing hens especially require them.
Half the minerals in milk are cal
cium and phosphorus.
The AVMA cited the delicate re
lationship between calcium and
phosphorus in the body as an in
stance for the need for a ^careful
check on farm animals’ require
ments. Too much one without
the other ran lead to a deficiency
disease.
