COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS f" America, as we call our part of North America, is the greatest country in the world, the greatest the world has <ever known. It was made or developed by daring men who took long chances and succeeded. But thousands 'failed. Thinking over our history T am impressed with the patience of Jehovah with us, for we have bungled so often that surely ' the great over-shadowing Prov idence has prospered us in spite of our colossal mistakes. We were led to believe that our government had no part in the uprising in Cuba. Well now it appears that a secret organi zation of our Government was agitating and morally cooperat ing, just what morally cooperat ing might be. But we fail, wc fail; we don’t grasp realities; we pursue a will-o-the-wisp pol icy which makes us appear like a nation incapable of direct and vigorous action. Anybody with even a modicum of understanding could have told months ago that we were failing to grapple with actualities in dealing with Castro. Even Spec tator discussed in detail some obvious methods of handling him. I wonder and wonder how a practical people could be served or misserved by so many bure aucrats and leaders of such small capacity. Of course we shall bungle some more and finally succeed by overwhelming mass and fab ulous cost in men and money. TheBamberg Herald carried an editorial some time ago which is worth a study by our leaders. Here it is: “Two public schools in New Orleans were integrated by force of federal courts November 14, 1960. What is the situation five months later? For a while viol ence flared up at both schools. There is no longer any violence, grid there are no schools except in name only. At Franz elementary school before integration there were 600 jmpils, all white. Now there are ten white children and one negro child in the school. At McDonough No. 19 elemen tary school, the normal white at tendance was 480. For several weeks there yvere only three negro finat graders in the school. In February a New Orleans white druggist broke the boycott by lentering his two young sons. They -.Attended the school for three days fmA then the druggist left town. The enforced court integration has resuited in two schools ac commodating over 1000 children now running with a total of four teen pupils. All of the white pu pils except 10 are being sent to other schools or to private schools. It seems that this should afford an object lesson to the integra- tionists that even the U. S. courts cannot compel people to do some thing that is overwhelmingly op posed to their wishes. The Louisiana legislature has done everything possible to insure continued public school segrega tion. Numerous laws have been passed, all of which have been thrown out as fast as they were enacted. And right now a federal court is preparing to hear the NAACP on a motion to block an election in Baton Rouge for the voters to pass on a proposal to junk public education in favor of private segregated schools.” A clear thinker says of the hostility of national lead- to business: “The Administration is losing no time making clear its attitude frjmrard the business community— unA in case anyone thought other wise, it is not a friendly one. Becent statements by high of ficials have far too freely tossed around terms like ‘corruption’ and ‘economic racketeering’, accompan ied by assorted threats and wam- ings. A flock of indictments, like the new General Motors diesel- locomotive one, is promised. At the same time Senator Kefauver, indefatigable in his efforts to dis credit business, is trying to make) hay out of the electrical price-fix ing cases already disposed of in court after being exposed by the Eisenhower administration. Now, this newspaper happens to believe in the proper enforce ment of the anti-trust laws; it has no sympathy for price fixers or other business transgressors; and it certainly does not oppose Con gressional investigations as such. But all that is far different from a general .Government attempt to cast suspicion on the whole busi ness community. If that is what Washington is setting out to do, it is not a healthy matter for any one, including Government. It must be wondered what some of - these people think American business is, anyway. Too often, in the past as well as in the present, they sound as though they thought that American prosperity, the en vy of the world, just happened; either that or it was the creation of labor unions or of government. But it DIDN’T just happen. The free economic interaction of millions of individuals trying- to make a living for themselves and theii* families is what created the prosperity. It is what has provid ed the capital investment for the workingman as a result of which he has no peer in the world. Not least, it is this kind of eco nomic activity—which is to say business—that supports and in deed makes possible the Govern ment and its manifold projects, including the vital one of defense. What would government be with out Henry Ford’s development of the assembly line?? So, there is something distaste ful about this sneering at business for* if amounts to sneering at the American people in general. Be yond £hat, Federal officiate some times evidence no awareness of the developing and changing char acter of business over the years. Their conception of it seems pre- Twentieth century if not prehis toric. In an earlier era in this country the task of scratching a living was much tougher for everyone, at least in a physical sense. But as the economic structure developed shape and strength, a humanizing of the machine society developed with it. Today’s business concerns are solicitous, to an extent unbe lievable a hundred years ago, of the well-being of their employees and their communities; in a word, of the public good. It is today’s business concerns, moreover, which seek to extend the trend toward a one-class— meaning middle class—society by inviting employee ownership, as well as in other ways. It is the un-i ion leaders who oppose this, who remain committed to the shibbo leths of a class struggle of an outworn era. The point is not, of course, that business should have a ‘friend’ in the White House, as organized labor so long had. The point is that Government should under stand what business is and try to foster business expansion not because it is business but because it is the national economy. How in the world can a gov ernment talk seriously about promoting economic growth and at the same time indis criminately attack, in word and deed, the business com munity which is the,, only source of economic growth we have? No one reading the Democratic platform last summer would have any reason to expect a Dem ocratic ‘businessman’s Administra tion’ in Washington. But one might have expected in practice a little more realism, a little more maturity, about the facts of Am erican economic life.” trick before, their eyes usually skip the first THE. Mr. Hanley is something of an authority on things that go awry because of inattentive reading. The 31-year-old Federal official is in charge of the ‘imperfect* in come tax return department in the Internal Revenue service’s dis trict office in Baltimore. Now, incorrectly filled-out tax returns are piling up at a rapid clip in Mr. Hanley’s tall rack of wire baskets. If last year’s pat tern is followed, about 76,000 of the 1.5 million individual tax re turns received in the Baltimore district alone this filing season will be routed through ‘imperfect’ department here. These returns contain errors that are bald enough to be spot ted right after the envelopes are opened—no signature, ho W-2 wage withholding slip, claims for unnamed dependants, claims for deductions and credits with the little boxes filled in wrong, or not aat all. Less obvious errors in arithmetic and attempts at corner cutting or outright evasion aren’t caught until later, when the re turns are sent to one of three main ‘service centers.’ Mr. Hanley’s clerks are rarely fazed by any oddly-filled-out tax return. If a taxpayer blindly en ters a claim. for a refund in thd box where he is supposed to write what he owes, clerks fill in the right box in green pencil and no thing else is said. If a person lists his occupation as ‘retired’ on an otherwise blank form and de-* mands a refund, with no explana tion of the bases of his refund claim, the return is shuttled to the proper basket so that an in quiring form letter can he sent back. Even sarcasm from taxpay ers is calmly endured: A citizen who reproduced his return three timei bigger than life and elabor ately filled it out suffered no re tribution: the giant return was processed in the normal way. One spot causing trouble is the section for medical expense xie- ductions. A common error is the failure by taxpayers to insert their claimed deductions for med ical insurance premiums in this section, where they’re subject to the rule limiting them to amounts over 3 percent of income before deductions. Instead, the premiums FARM | notes*; V f (By County Agents) Cotton Farmers—Begin Insect Control Program Most growers now have a good stand of cotton. Those v ho did not use Thimet treated seed should begin their insect control program now. Small grains are beginning to ripen and this means tht-.t thrips will be moving from grain fields to the cotton. In addition, overwintering boll weevils and other cotton insects will soon be moving into cotton fields. This year’s insect control pro gram calls for 3 applications at 7 day intervals beginning as spon as cotton comes up to a stand. Then wait until cotton reaches the 8- leaf stage and go on a five-day schedule until July 1st. Cotton farmers who have followed the schedule and have maintained good insect control up to this point should be able to stop pois oning for about three weeks. When boll weevil infestation reaches 10 percent or bollworm infestation reaches 3 percent, a 5-day poisoning schedule should be resumed. This 5-day schedule should be maintained until all boils are at least 21 days old. All of the standard boll weevil poisons we have been using are still on the recommended list pips several new ones. All insecticide formulations, except Sevin should include 7 percent DDT for boll- worm control. A complete insect control pro gram will cost on the average a- bout $25 per acre. Some growers still feel this amount is too much to spend. We suggest, however; it is better to spend this amount to insure a profitable crop than to use only one-half the recom mended amount and lose half, of your crop or more to insects. We will be glad to furnish a chart showing the recommended cotton insecticides for this year’s use. / May’s High Dollar Job Let’s turn the spotlight on for age crops. Our farmers do a pretty age crops. For instance, a 4-ton per acre crop of top quality alfalfa yields just as much total digestible nut rients as a 100 bushel crop of corn. But few farmers get their alfalfa harvested as top quality. Many fail to hit 3 tons per acre. Some of our top forage producers get 5,000 to 7,000 pounds of milk per acre of pasture. It takes a pretty good corn crop to do that and for age will do it on cheaper land. With the trend to higher feed grain supports, the profit possibi lities will be even higher. er test weight than most other va rieties. We’re gl:id to see many of our farmers switching to the Ro gers variety. Since many Newberry County farmers store their grain on the farm for periods of several weeks to several months, we need to give more attention to insect con trol in our small grain. It’s too late to wait until you have a heavy insect infestation to begin. Much damage has already been done by that time. The best plan to follow is to have a complete clean-uy of the This we believe is the key to our' bins « nd th * immediate area sur- often are being listed under ‘oth-, good job of producing corn and er deductions’ and subtracted in other crops, but so far we are full from adjusted gross income. If such a mistake is made on an otherwise ‘clean’ return, clerks in the district office make a correct ion in green pencil and a bill is sent to the taxpayer for the extra amount owed. Why do many people bungle the tax-filing chore ? Revenue offi cials agree the universally lam ented complexity of the forms is one reason . . . Actually, revenue officials sus pect there has been an increase in recent years in the percentage of returns which are filled out right. IRS-Sponsored tax courses in 1 high schools are cited as one rea son, along with a telephone infor mation service operated by many district offices during filing sea son. Also contributing is an in creasing reliance by many tax payers on professional help.” still weak on our production ol for- expanded livestock program in this part of the country. We can’t compete with the mid-West in growing corn, but we can compete with farmers anywhere growing gfass! But we do need to do a better job than we are now doing. Fly* Control Time at Hand If you haven’t already begun your fly control program on the farm, get started now. Flies not only annoy man and animal, but will rob you of livestock profits if they are not controlled. Animals thgt have to spend all their time fighting flies are not making the farmer much profit. Usually a combination of sprays baits, etc. will be needed for ade quate control. Back rubbers should be used on more beef cattle farms. That.way the cows furnish the la bor to keep themselves free of flies. There are many different insect icides available for this job. Be sure you use only those that are recommended and in the manner they are recommended. For im stance Methoxychlor and Mala- thion can be used only as dust on dairy cattle and cannot be used as a spray. DDT can be used on beef cattle only when applied in oil with the backrubber. Cotton dust should never be used on eith er beef or dairy cattle. We have i charts available for all phases of insect control on the farm. Let us know if we can send you any information on this sub ject. Small Grain Storage Small grain harvest is at hand. It looks like now this year’s grain crop will turn out well above av erage in Newberry County. Frank Senn has some of the best* Rogers barley we’ve seen this yeai*.

Next spray with a good insecticide such as malathion. Now the bins are ready to receive the grain from the combine. Good results toward prevent ion of insect infestation of stored grain has been obtained by spray ing premium grade Malathion ae the grain is turned into the stor age bins. Grain that is not so treated at the time of storage for preventing insect damage should be fumigated it the first sign of insect infestation. . Plant Soybeans Soybeans for seed ihould be planted as soon as possible. Tests at Clem son College show that May 15 to June 1 is the ideal time to plant soybeans. Yields have consistently been higher when pianted during this period. Varieties you will want to plant now include Jackson and CNS 4. If you do have to wait until after June 10th to plant, then use eith er JEW 45 or Yelnanda variety. Be sure to inoculate all soybean seed immediately before planting.
