referring was meant to be a joke about state prohibition
laws.
It's certainly no joke to the thinking people. 1t is a
deadly serious problem. We haven't got a solution either
The law is still on the books, but enforcement is only token
procedures.
Serious law violations may be directly connected To
the way liquor is handled. Whether for or against prohlbl-
ton most all of us will admit that something must be done
about the law - repeal it or work out some kind of sensible
enforcement.
We can see it right here in our county. The main
county law enforcement officer the sheriff - seems to
do nothing about it. More than twenty establishments have
federal liquor licenses. Their places of business are well
known to everyone who buys liquor.
Illegal sale of liquor isn't all. Other undesirable
practices spring up. 1t seems that one thing leads to another
No, the cartoon won't seem so funny to Missis-
sippians.

Balanced Farm Program
Since its formation the LADA
has attempted to secure for the
farmer a balanced farm program
assuring more cash income and
more sound economy. In so do
ing, it is cooperating with other
civic organizations to sponsor a
county fair and has secured the
cooperation and interest of the
various local civic organizations,
and has at various times secured
interesting speakers on farm to-
pics.
Farmers of the county are con-
tsantly being urged by LADA Of
ficials to take advantage Of the
counsel offered them free by the
organization. Field trips are
daily conducted, and any farmer
wishing advice may contact the
Lexington office.

was highly recommended by State College officials.
Mr.. Holditch, who was reared on the farm, has
been working in the field directly with Farmers throughout the
Lexington Trade Territory for several months. Many group meet
ings have been held with farmers where various aspects of the Pro-
gram have been discussed and some are already in operation,
and where more steps will be taken as they are worked out, in
order to establish a higher production and greater cash earnings
on our hill farms.
Farmers in this vicinity who are interested in the Program
should get in touch with Mr.. Holditch whose services are timely
and without charge. An office, or headquarters, is maintained In
the Lexington Post Office Building where Mr.. Holditch can be

exngton Merchants & Business Men Co. Operating To Promote More Prosperous &
A Balanced Farm Program
Assures More Cash Income
And More Sound Economy

The trite expression Don't put all your
in one basket remains true in a sound
farming program. We have seen the one cash
cropping system in operation for the past
fifty years and where has it taken us? Ride
over the county and the answer becomes very
obvious. We see and that fifty years ago
was good cropland, reduced to guilles and
submarginal land which was brought about
by our one crop system. Vacant tumble
down houses stand as a hooking reminder
to the passerby that man has tried to defy
the basic laws of nature and consequently
has brought suffering, hunger and poverty to
him and his family.
Realizing our past mistakes, we can
now plan a more stable farm economy.
Plan your farm operation so that you Will
have an income from at least four different
sources. two of which should be livestock.
farms with small acreage dairy cows are
much more profitable than growing peel.
Good pastures are essential for any livestock
program. Plan for an income the year
round instead of an income once a year.

PALMER IN BIG GOLF
 MEET h0N'

CHICAGO, Aug. 1G-lR-Let it be warning to top money-winner Sammy Snead, up and coming Johnny Palmer may ae golf's great est man of concentration since Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson left the circuit.
 That's why Palmer yesterday walked off with golf's biggest single victory wad. the $1O,oO0 nugget in Tam O'Shanters world" meet.
 Johnny's 68 to 70 playoft triumph over respondent Jimmy Demaret hoisted him to third spot in the cash-oollecting ranks with s23,512. Snead, who finished third in the world has $3O,993, and National Open champion Cary Middlecoff has s24.6o4.
 Perhaps owing some of his ability to bear down in the pinches to his meditation while a waist gunner on 32 bombing raids over Japan, Palmer fashioned his world" triumph on an iron-nerved approach game. It was his biggest win since taking the l947 Western Open.
 He was in trouble against De- maret on six holes yet lost par on only one. Four times he saved pars and he came through with a birdie which saved his day on the l7th. It was a 130-yard shot from under a tree to within four feet and he sank the putt. That broke Demaret's back, leaving him two taps back facing the final green.
