"The Pilgrims aren't the only
ones who we're thankful for tur-
keys" says Mr.. Melton as he re-
calls how these birds saved the
day for he and his family 80
years ago.
Today, Mr.. Melton is one of
the biggest colored farm operators
in Texas. He owns 400 acres and
rents 22O more which he farms
with three tractors. He raises 100
bales Of cotton a year, so to 100
carloads of watermelons, 60 acres
Of corn from his 400 turkeys, L.
200 chickens, and At head Of beef
cattle.
In town, he owns an interest in
the $4,000 gin, and in the en-
porium which sells everything
from groceries and bingham to
kitchen stoves and farm equip
ment.
Mr.. Melton started farming on
his own in 1927 when the 100
acre partimony was divided among
his sister, brothers,, and himself.
His share was 16 acres. To this,
he added rs more which he pur-
chased through the Federal Land
bank.
\ But before he could really get
going the depression hit and
caught him just as it did many
other farmers. 81 had to mortgage
my mules in 1882" says Mr.. Mel
ton.
The farmer now averages a bale
of cotton to the acre and about
SO bushels of corn to the acre on
his land. Some Of his corn in in
terplanted with watermelons.
Mrs. Melton handles the chick
ems. She has 700 layers whose
eggs are sold to a certified hat
cherry. Mr.. Melton takes care of
the turkeys : 400 Of his own
every year and about 1000 he
buys up each fall from his neigh
bors, fattens, and sells on the
wholesale market.
The Meltons live in a modern
six-room home. There are seven
children. two r in college, four
at home, and one is away.

the place of the broken link with

Machine Repair Time
By 1. w. DICKERSoN

WHAT CONDITION are your ma
chimes in for next years work?
Has each one been put in storage
where it will be protected from rain
and snow and from roosting poul-
try? Have the bearings been freshly
fabricated to keep out water and
dirt, the weaving surfaces coated
with some effective antitrust, and
given coat of paint?
Have the canvases been repaired
and dried and hung by wires from
the rafters where mice and rats can
not damage them? Has the weight
been taken off rubber tires and
discs and planters and cultivators
placed on boards so the working
parts will not rust?
Have you had all plow shares,
cultivator shovels, and drag harrow
teeth sharpened, and have you re-
paired and sharpened all mower and
binder and combine knives and
ground the cutting knives on silo
filters and field choppers?
And have you gone over your ma
chinery and made out for each one
written list of any repairs or ad-
justments that need attention, and
especially the name and order num-
Der of any repairs that may be
needed? And have you ordered
these repairs, from the proper dealer,
so they will be ready to place on
the machine when you complete the
overhaul?
It is vital for next years work that
Ill these things be looked after al
this time, since both new machines
and repairs for the old ones will be
short for the coming year, and some
repair will not be available and viii
have to be made by the blacksmith
or welder. The sooner you can turn
these jobs over to him, the bettei
your chance of having the machine
ready when needed.

BY the Asseeiaied Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Is. -
Two scientists have discovered in
ordinary water the colorless gas
known as tritium-key explosive
for hydrogen bombs.
J A little tritium already has
been made in American atomic
reactors and more is to be pro-
duced for H-bombs in reactors
still to be built.
The discovery of tritium in
water shows promise Of two very
practical uses now. But there is
no existing equipment for extract
ing tritium from water and such
a process is not expected to re-
place the reactor method of
manufacture.
The principal reason for this is
that - although reactor tritium
today is said to cost a half billion
dollars a pound-the water ex-
traction appears to be both less
productive and more expensive.
The first anticipated use of the
new water tritium is to discover
the secret manufacture of H
bombs.
In such work a very small
amount of tritium spilled in water
will spread widely and as re-
suit of the newly announced dis
covery may be detected easily.
A single gram-one 9th of an
ounce-dropped into the mighty
Amazon River could be traced
anywhere downstream and even
far out in the Atlantic Ocean.
The second practical use of the
new detection method would come
in tracing ocean currents right
down to the bottom of the sea.

Lawyers Ask Uniform Law
To Ban 'Quickie' NupfiaIs

Backing Of law to end quickie
marriages came yesterday from
100 lawyers convening at the
Hotel Statler.
The National Conference OF
Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws, which will close tomorrow
approved model legislation that
would require a five-day wait be-
fore the issuance Of every mar
riage license.
The attorneys, appointed by
their Governors, expressed hope
that all State Legislatures will
enact such a proposed law.
Blood tests for syphilis before
marriage also would be required
by the law. ~
Other action approved laws to
force deserting fathers to support
their families regardless if they
had moved to another State, and
to require a blood test of preg-
nant women during the prenatal

House Passes Bill 10 Give
Fifth Star 10 Gen. Bradley
BY The Assoeio,ed pres,

With cheers and applause, the
House yesterday unanimously
passed legislation that would put
five stars on the shoulders of Gen.
Bradley.
The bill now goes to the White
House for the signature of Presi-
dent Truman.
The Senate on Wednesday ap-
proved a companion bill that gives
to the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff the permanent
rank of general of the Army.
That gives to the wartime COM
mander of the 18th Army Group
in the European theater the same
rank as that of Gen. George c.
Marshall, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover and Gen. Douglas Mac

Tests showed that there are one

in every drop of water-the water
from your tap, the Office drinking

Several hundred tritium atoms
explode in the human body every
minute after being absorbed
through food and drink. They do
no harm, however, because it re-

Modern Marriage
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

You are couple of generations
behind the times, Clara, when you
write me that "the differences
between the sexes are merely the
result of the way boys and girls
are educated" Here's what one
Well-knoWn educator says:
Women are mentally and emo
tionally hardier," according to DR..
Lynn T. White, jr., president of
Mills College (for women. "Girls
tend to have a decided advantage
over boys in handling words.
whereas boys generally do better
than girls in handling numbers. !"
It has been found that in college
entrance examinations. where the
candidates are evenly matched,
boys do better than gifts in
mathematics, physics, chemistry,
and American history. In biology
the sexes are evenly matched. In
English the girls sweep the field.
What's the difference? just
that girl who isn't a good speci-
men of womanhood is less likely
to marry, or to find happiness in
marriage if she does succeed in
finding husband. So you'll do
we'll to look and act as much like
a woman as possible, instead of
