o Page Six THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1963 Looking A. head ...by Dr. George S. Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Seercy, Arkansas FARM N OTE S THE PRESIDENT’S COLD The state of health of men of povrer has always been important. JFrom the dyspepsia, gout or jaun dice of monarchs of old* down to Eisenhower’s heart attack, much ■news has been made of ailments in high places. President Kenne dy’s October cold, however, had re percussions nationwide in a par ticular direction that far exceeded its apparent significance as an item of news value. This happened simply because it was false news. At least, it was not true that Mr. Kennedy had a cold that was suf ficient to send him home to Wash ington. The news was released when he was out barnstorming for the Democratic candidates, but it was merely a cover that presumably helped maintain a curtain of sec recy when the Cuban emergency discussions began in Washington. Every precaution was taken to prevent leaks (which did occur) so as to keep Mr. Khrushchev un aware that any action at all was being contemplated. The press therefore was used, by way of false news, to set all suspicions at ease on the Cold War front. Such tactics soon were being described at the Pentagon as “news weap onry.” News Control This nation had discovered in World War I how modern commu nications could be treated psyhho- logically and used to serve our interests in waging “psychologi cal warefare.” Words could be used as bullets, to save men’s lives and achieve bloodless victories, we came to think. In World War II most combatants were going all out with both truth and lies — whatever was needed to win, re gardless of ideas or national goals. Then came the cold war, and man ipulation of facts, withholding of information, and brainwashing came to be the ultimate in atomic age conditioning. Traditionally, our national lead ers at least have paid lip service to “truth” in the process of dis pensing information and news in war and peace. Government agen cies have not usually put into cir culation outright falsehood. But the temptation undoubtedly is great to commit political aggress ion in peacetime, and in fighting the Cold War the government views the easy advantages of in formation shuffling. News con trol is increasingly an objective of power seekers in public office. Politically Tinged Historians will discover to what extene Washington manipulated news during the Cuban crisis, but current accounts are insisting that activity here was more than nec essary and tended to take on a political color. The New Frontier did seem to control and at times close off information channels. It went all-out in staging episodes that served to mislead people and disguise the government’s partic ular role at some stages of the confrontation. News control, Ar thur Sylvester, assistant Secretary of Defense, insisted was fully just- tified by the results in a period when news served as an available weapon. Every American can be thank ful that our news media rose up in almost unanimous horror at this. They commended Mr. Sylvester for his frankness, but the con demned as reckless and dangerous his disregard for truth; Such ac tions, they said, are more identi fiable with Hitler, Mussolini, and the Soviet Union than with a free nation accustomed to relying up on independent news media to car ry information to every cross roads village. They asked whether the Administration favors ‘.‘man aged control” of the news. They warned that henceforth informa tion, even if it should be the truth, will be suspect. Quick Reaction Editor & Publisher commented editorially: “History is replete •with examples of government of ficials trying to make the press a handmaiden of politics and dip lomacy. In our day we have an admission in Washington that a controlled flow of news in the Cuban crisis constituted a part of the nation’s ‘weaponry.’ The thought is as abominable and as frightening as the actual manage ment of news in totalitarian coun tries.” The Washington Evening Star wrote in an editorial “The truth given the American people as what has happened is that part of the truth selected by officialdom to piece together a desirable image. That image may be a distortion, the inevitable result of an attempt to use the press and its news as instruments of national policy.” Thomas Jefferson’s “eternal vigi lance” is truly the price of liberty here. Every American should in sist that the government control neither the media nor close up in formation sources in a way that would limit the people’s right to know. 1 1 Weed Control. How can we get rid of weeds? That is one of the most frequent ly asked questions among farmers in recent years. And rightly so. As we move away from crop farm- tog into more of a grassland type farming, the need for weed con trol becomes increasingly greater. The truth ’is, many Newberry county farmers already realize the value of weed control. Over half of our small grain acreage is now sprayed for weed control each year. Our cotton farmers have found that pre-emergence sprays can reduce hoeing costs by half or better. A few of our farmers have found that pre-merge sprays are highly profitable on corn. But in spite of this good record we need to double or tripple our use of chemicals that have proven ef fective against weed control, and here’s why: Research in another state shows the effect on yields of corn and soybeans due to pigweed infesta tion. It was found that one pig weed, or red-shank weed as we call them, every 40 inches along the row pulled the corn yield down almost eight bushels per acre. Soybean yields were reduced nearly 5 bushels per acre by the same infsetation. In our pastures, we know that weeds rob desirable grasses of fertilizer and water and result in lower yields than could be realized by an effective weed control program. Our research people tell us most farmers could easily get $3 re turn for every one dollar spent on weed control. That means this practice is second in importance only to fertilization. A word of caution about weed control. Thefee chemicals aren’t usually poisonous, but they must be applied properly to prevent damage to crops. We suggest you begin now planning your weed control program for this year so you can get the job done right and get the best possible results. Dairy Farmers Can Earn $10,000 a Year!!! Tat’s what the article said, and we didn’t believe it either. How ever, after reading further there seemed to be some sound business principles being used by those dairy farmers included in this special study. On the basis of this study, here is what it takes to get into the top income group of dairy farm ers: —Keep between 50 and 60 cows that average 10,500 pounds of 4 per cent milk at current prices. —Use labor saving equipment so one man can take care of at least 25 cows and produce most of their own feed. —Operate 250 to 300 acres of land with over 200 acres in rotat ed feed crops. —Raise high crop yields by us ing the best crop production prac tices. These include planting high yielding varieties of crops at the proper rate and time, applying adequate lime and fertilizer, maintaining organic matter con- tena of the soil, and controlling weeds, insects and plant diseases. —Have a gross income of $35,- 000 or more a year. —Make efficient use of labor throughout the year. We don’t think anyone would dare guarantee such dairy profits by simply following these few principles. We do believe, however, that it is necessary to get high production with less than average costs. This can usually be done through use of labor saving equipment and by following the latest scientific livestock and crop production methods. At least these things help in reaching any reas onable profit goal. New Crop Varieties. Carolina Queen, a new cotton variety that will be available this year on a limited basis shows a lot of promise. We first saw this variety two years ago on the seed farm where it was being develop ed. It looked plenty good to us then. Last year we had a little patch of it here in Newberry coun ty that did surprisingly well under our dry weather conditions. Then last week while at Clemson, our research man Ben Eskew told us this variety outyielded all others in their test work at Clemson last year. You probably won’t be able to buy enough seed to plant your whole crop, but you may want to try it on your farm this year. If you do try it, plant at least five acres, so you can sign up in the 5 Acre Cotton Contest. Now about Soybeans. The new variety Hampton planted last year for the first time gave good yields all over the state. Where it was planted early, that is, be fore June 1, and on good land, it outyielded all other varieties. Some farmers have reported yields of over 50 bushels per acre from it. Stewart is another new variety that will be available this year for the first time. This variety is recommended for late planting, af ter small grain. Again we urge more farmers to plant soybeans this year for added cash income. Remember TRANSFERS OF REALTY Dave L. Hayes to Catherine S.

Disease of the heart and blood vessels kill more South Carolin ians than all other causes of death combined. A study of 1961 death causes issued today by the South Caro lina Heart Association shows that 10,440 persons died of the heart and blood vessel diseases. In- Newbery county in 1961, there were 165 deaths from disea ses of the heart and blood vessels. The leading couse of death in the county, in addition to heart dis ear;, were cancer, 45; accidents, I' and influenza and pneumonia, .rrree. The local figures closely resem ble the latest gathered for the en tire country by the National of fice of Vital Statistics, Dr. C. Warren Irvin, Jr., Columbia, pres ident of the S. C. Heart Associa tion, said. In that summary, the j heart and blood vessel diseases were responsible for more than 54 per cent of all deaths in 1961. “While the heart and blood ves sel diseases continue to be the number one killer in the nation, many thousands of persons— children and adults alike—are liv ing longer, more productive lives because of the advances in diag nosis and treatment of the heart and blood vessel diseases,” Dr. Irvin declared. “It is important to realize that there are many types of car diovascular diseases. They include heart attack, stroke, rheumatic fever, inborn heart defects, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries and many others,” Dr. Irvin pointed out. “We have made much progress against many of them with the help of research supported by the Heart fund,” he added. Today most heart attack vic tims recover from their initial at tacks, and three out of four of those who do return to their jobs,” he continued. “Strokes are no longer hopeless. New drugs and new surgical tech niques today can prevent or re duce invalidism among stroke victims. New rehabilitation tech niques are restoring thousands of stroke patients to productive lives. “Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease, a major childhood menace, now can be prevented in most cases by control of ‘strep’ infection. “Inborn defects of the heart and great vessels, many inevitably fatal just a few years ago, now can be corrected in many cases, thanks to amazing progress in surgical techniques. “These great advances, speeded by 75 million Heart Fund dollars devoted to research, are prolong ing lives and saving hearts,” he declared.

Warning Given On Peephole Driving The State Highway department has become alarmed over the num ber of motorists, who on icy or frosty mornings, clear off just enough space on their windows to see directly in front and in back of them. Patrolmen are urging drivers to take time to clear ice and frost from ALL windows. Ice scrapes or de-icer sprays, which may be purchased from an automotive supply store or service station, do the job in minutes. The added sec urity of being able to see in all directions is worth the time spent. Motorists who think that just a “peephole” opening in front and in back of them is sufficient may be headed for trouble. Heavy morning or afternoon traffic and “blind” drivers make for confu sion, bad tempers and accidents. Winter driving is hard on both drivers and vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary for drivers to have everything possible in their favor —in this instance, clear window glass. Driving with ice or frost on win dows is a violation of traffic laws which were made to protect mot orists. One section of the law ( states: “No person shall drive any , motor vehicle with any sign, pos- | ter or other non-transparent ma-J terial upon the front windshield, side-wings or side or rear windows of such vehicle which obstructs the driver's clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway.” Ice and frost are definitely non transparent materials. . In addition to clearing off all windows, allowing vehicles to warm up before driving can fur ther prevent ice from reforming. Also, driving a cold car puts a strain on the motor. Waiting a few moments to allow the tem perature guage to reach normal may prevent costly repairs. With several months of winter weather in store for South Caroli nians, the Patrol hopes that all drivers, for their own safety, will take a few extra minutes each morning or whenever necessary and clean off all their car win dows and allow their vehicles to warm up before driving. ON DOING ONE’S BEST Abraham Lincoln once said, “If I tried to read, much less answer, all the criticism made of men, and all the attacks leveled at me, this office would have to be closed for all other business. I do the best I know how, the very best T can. And I mean to keep on doing this, down to the very end. If the end brings me out all wrong, ten an gels swearing I had been right j would make no difference. If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me now will not amount to anything.” SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (FHTNC) —Earl D. Long, airman apprentice USN, son of Ernest H.
