But Government is a restless and rebellious servant. Naturally and continuously, it aspires to maser the very people whom it is ordained to obey. George Washington once said: “Government is like fire—a dan gerous servant and a fearful mas ter.” In its rightful place and un der proper control, fire, like gov ernment, is useful and necessary. But, on the loose, in a billowing mass of converging flames, fire becomes one of the most frighten ing and destructive things on earth. We must never forget that gov ernment is like fire. To be useful, rather than terrible and destruc tive, each branch of our govern ment must obey the will of its con stituents while it is rigidly con trolled and closely contained with in the firewalls of our Constitu tional system. When our government is uncon trolled by the Constitution and unresponsive to the popular will, the basic responsibility for the resulting injuiy lies with th^ peo ple themselves. Every officer of American gov ernment traces his or her com mission of authority directly or indirectly to the American people. In this country, no emergency, however grave, can justify the sus pension of our Constitutionally es tablished, regularly recurring elec tions. Elections give the ordinary citi zen his one chance definitely to impress his will upon the course of public policy by voting for those who respect his wishes and by vot ing against those who do not. To be effective, a citizen’s vote should come as the climax of that ceaseless vigilance which is the inescapable price of liberty. Un less he has energetically and con tinuously promoted the political policies that he believes tc be right, a citizen may find on elec tion day that no one of the candi dates endorses his program and that, on basic issues, all of the candidates are on the same side. If the citizen refuses to make a choice between these similar can didates, he may end up by failing to vote at all. The victims of this negative form of disfranchisement are numbered in the tens of mil lions. For instance, in 1956 more than 40 million qualified voters failed to go to the polls. These non-voters totaled over five million more than the number that voted for Eisen hower and over fourteen million more than the total number of votes cast for both leading candi dates. When forty per cent of the eli gible voters stay away from the polls on election day, something is wrong with the democratic pro cess in this country. The principal reason for this is that in their eagerness to please everyone and offend nobody, our mine-run, machine-directed politi cal aspirants, assiduously avoid clear-cut public stands on the really controversial questions. Voters have never been given an opportunity to vote on the really big and important issues, such as foreign aid, deficit spend ing, or the Communist subversion in our defense plants. For the safety of our country and for the preservation of Am erican freedom, it is just as nec essary and important for all of us to get some full and specific ans wers from candidates on these very real issues, as it is to inform ourselves of the integrity and character of these candidates be fore they are chosen. Powerful pressure groups which have a firm toe-hold in both major political parties are determined to destroy American sovereignty by the eventual establishment of a world government. These people have no respect for the constitu tion of the United States and ther are convinced that the financial and productive resources of this country must be freely used to raise the standard of living around the world. The great majority of American people are anxious to preserve the solvency, the sovereignty and the strict Constitutional govern ment of the United States. It is the patriotic duty of those of us who are in this group to force the candidates for Congress and for State office to state their beliefs on vital issues clearly and we should not permit them to launch their election campaigns on the level of a personal popularity con test and then settle the issues that are vital to all of us at a White House breakfast table.

C. By COUNTY AGENTS Help! We’re Being Invaded! If cotton fields could talk, that’s what they’d be telling you cotton farmers right now. Not only have cotton fields been already invaded by the bollweevil, bollworm, and aphids, but casualty losses are running as high as 40%! This sit uation is nothing short of alarm ing. Yes sir, the boll weevil and boll worms are out to take our cotton crop away from us. Are you going to let them do it? Now’s the time to decide. Most cotton farmers have pois oned. But evidently we’re not all using enough of the right kind of materials and not getting ade quate coverage to do the proper job. Fields we’ve checked that have been poisoned right four or more times to date are still in good shape. But in fields that have not yet been poisoned or have been poisoned only one or two times, either the boll weevil or bollworm or both, are raising cainl Another point we must strongly consider is that cotton is making rapid growth. In about four more weeks you won’t be able to get tractor equipment into most fields. Therefore we must make every ef fort to get these insects under complete control during the next few weeks. Regardless of how many times you’ve already poisoned, here’s the insect control program you should follow for the next 4 to 6 weeks: 1. Maintain a strict 6 day pois oning schedule. If rain occurs within 12 hours, reapply as soon as possible. 2. Each time apply at least one pound actual DDT per acre. If bollworm infestation is running high (over 3%) use at least XVfe pounds DDT per acre. You may have to increase pounds of dust per acre or add extra DDT to spray mixtures to get this amount of actual DDT. DDT should be in cluded in all insecticide mixtures except Sevin. 8. Use a minimum of 15 pounds dust per acre. If dust is drifting, use 20 pounds. For quick knock out of insects use 20 to 25 pounds per acre. If 7Vi% Sevin dust is used, apply 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 4. If spraying, use 3 nozzles per row and be sure you are applying 6 or more gallons of spray mix ture per acre. You simply cannot get adequate insect control using only 3 or 4 gallonsof spray per RITZ Theatre THURSDAY Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Lealie Howard, Olivia de Havilland GONE WITH THE WIND —Two Shows Daily— Matinee 3 P.M.

Increase the pressure so you can “fog” the spray to get uniform coverage of the plant. With X-3 nozzle tips you should be using 60 pounds pressure and traveling no faster than 4 miles per hour. 5. If aphids (plant lice) are building up, switch one time to an insecticide containing Methylpar- athion, Methytrithion, or other recommended aphicide. 6. One extra boll of cotton per foot of row will pay for all the poison you should use for the next 4 to 6 weeks. We guarantee you that insects will rob you of more than this amount of cotton if you don’t. So let’s dust or spray—both rightly done, will pay! General Crop Situation Rain has improved crop pros pects in most areas of Newberry County. Corn is looking good over most of the county and some corn will start going into silos in the next 2 or three weeks. Cotton is making raplJ «;TCWth and fruiting well in spite of the heavy insect toll. Early planted soybeans are looking extra good and even late planted ones seem off to a good start. With favorable weather from here on out some of our folk are going to prove this year that soybeans are indeed a good cash crop. Tho’ some folks are having to fight grass in their cotton, pas tures and grazing crops have greatly benefitted from the rains. Home gardens are looking good but the battle against insects will have tp be continued here too. And remember don’t use just any old poison in the garden. Protect your family by using garden in secticides according to the label. If directions don’t mention garden use—don’t use them! Observe all specified waiting periods. Now’s the Time to: ....
