JUNE DAIRY MONTH
A final salute to June Dairy
Month! We’ve tried along with the
Newberry County Farm Bureau
and others to make belter known
the great r importance of our dairy
industry in Newberry County. Cer
tainly any industry that employs
over 300 farm families and con
tributes 2% million dollars annual
ly to our economy is worthy of
special note.
However the real purpose of
June Dair> Month is to stimulate
increased consumption of dairy
products throughout the entire na
tion. Consider if you will that
milk in its natural state is the
most wholesome food available.
Children need it to develop strong
bones and health teeth. Adults too,
can well use more milk and whole
some dairy products in their daily
diet. And for your food dollar you
can’t buy any greater food value
than milk.
Also consider the dairy farmer.
Every dairy farm today is indeed
a milk factory. Pipeline milkers,
refrigerated tanks, spotless milk
ing parlors equipped with gleam
ing stainless steel milk handling
equipment insures highest possible
milk quality. Perhaps you’ve heard
something of radioactive fallout
or insecticide residues in milk. A
lot of bunk, we say. Milk is the
only food product being constant
ly tested by the Public Health
Service throughout this entire
country. Therefore if milk is avail
able at the market or delivered to
your door, buy it! The highest
quality milk in the world is avail
able right here in Newberry Coun-
ty.
So even though June Dairy
Month is over, be sure to include
milk or other dairy products at
every meal all year ’round.
COTTON SITUATION
Cotton farmers, get on the ball!
Too little cotton poisoning has
been done so far this season in
Newberry County. Sure, you’re
busy with other things, but cotton
insects don’t wait to cause untold
damage and rob you of your cot
ton profits.
In some fields, early season cot
ton insects caused severe stunting
of, plants and even loss of stand.
Now the boll weevil is coming out
in larger numbers than we like to
admit.
It all addtf ,up to this will be a
bad insect year and we aren’t go
ing to make a good cotton crop if
we don’t do something about it.
You know it’s a great pity that we
let one single thing—a lack of
proper insect control—keep us
from making a decent cotton crop
every year. This is not idle specu
lation, its a cold fact. It has been
proven in both this state and ev
ery other cotton producing state.
Insect control is the greatest lim
iting- factor to cotton production
we have.
It’s not too late to act. Start
now on a five day poisoning sched
ule. Stick to it for at least 3 appli
cations then check to see what
your insect situation is. Continue
on a five-day schedule until the
boll weevil ,and other insects are
completely under control. Use DDT
along with all poisons except Se-
vin.
MORE ON RUSTLING
Seems that our recent meeting
of livestock farmers to discuss the
cattle rustling problem set folks
to checking their cattle more close
ly. Several more reports of lost
cattle have come to us since the
meeting.
In Newberry County where live
stock is the backbone of our farm
ing economy, this is a serious
problem. Every animal a farmer
owns represents a sizable invest
ment. A farmer can’t keep all
livestock under lock and key as
can owners of other personal prop
erty. Most farmers have several
pastures or even more than one
farm on which livestock are kept.
Young stock, which is most likely
to be stolen, is usually kept in the
back pasture or bottom pasture
since they don’t usually require
daily attention.
A livestock grower can’t spend
all his time keeping check on his
cattle. Farming involves too many
things to let any one become a
time consuming problem. There- j
fore he has to trust to a certain,
extent the decency of other people
to respect his right of ownership.

MANION :

For 16 years have been en
gaged in the cold war with Com
munism. Billions of dollars have
been spent in the effort, and these
expenditures account for most of
our national debt, the biggest in
our history.
What is the ultimate object in
this nerve-straining contest with
the Kremlin? Is it our purpose to
race endlessly at full speed in the
field of destructive armaments, or
de we honestly believe that we can
safely end this arms race and es
tablish permanent international
peace by a solemn pact with the
Soviet government? If this is pos
sible ,shall we make a similar
agreement with Red China? Why
is it that the many efforts to ar
rive at some kind of disarmament
treaty have all failed?
Could the reason be that treach
ery, deceit and conspiratorial am-
orality are so engrained in Com
munist teaching and in all past
Communist practice that no “civil
ized” nation can ever trust the
Communists to abide by treaty
provisions ?
^hile we have been engaged in
th?| study of various disarmament
proposals, the Russian leaders
scuttled Joe Stalin and returned to
In short, he has to trust that peo
ple will leave his property alone.
It is for this reason, if no other,
that stealing of a few cattle must
be considered a major problem.
Further more, those apprehended
while stealing cattle should be giv
en the full discipline of the law.
Only in this manner will rustling
be abruptly halted.
FarmtiS must band together to
halt this crime in short order. Re
port any lost cattle or other live
stock to the local sheriff’s office
immediately. Also any suspicious
movement of cattle particularly at
night should be reported. Don’t
let this problem continue.

the teachings of Lenin, who taught
that Communists “must resort to
all sorts of devices, maneuvers, il
legal methods, evasions or subter
fuges.”
Even during the present disarm
ament negotiations, we cannot be
sure that we would dare to rely on
any agreement, unless the agree
ment provided for adequate in
spection procedures, which, of
course, the Communist protest.
If we cannot reach a disarma
ment agreement satisfactory to
both sides, then what is the altern
ative *
One answer to the question
would be an official acknowledge
ment that the Cold War is an en
durance contest between the Sov
iet government and the Constitu
tional freedom of the United
States of America. We have been
losing all along because we refuse
to define the struggle in the clear
terms of our own survival as a
free, solvent, sovereign nation.
We have been unwilling to take
any clear-cut military or diplomat
ic course of action that would put
fundamental American interests
anywhere but last in the complex
maze of conflicting interhational
ambitions.
The plain truth is, that by its
God-given nature, the Constituti
onal Government of the United
States cannot co-exist with the
contagious cholera of Communism.
If we had made that clear sixteen
g ars ago, the world would now
free from the scourge ‘of Com
munist despotism, and our own
national sovereignty and financial
solvency would not now be mort
gaged to the Utopian interest of
a World Super-State.
Our One-World Internationalists
minimized and ridiculed the grave
danger of Commu iist subversion
here, at the same time that they
magn fiv d the danger of Commun
ist military aggression.
Internationalists insist that the

But when opportunity was of
fered the free countries to lend a

that nothing must happen to the
