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

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.

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*. Al
though we don’t like the awn or
beard on the Rogers barley, it is
resistant to smut and has a high-
rounding the bins. Get rid of all
old grain and sweep out bins in
cluding the sides of the bin. 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.
