Balanced Farming Is The Answer To
Regular Cotton Crop Failures Here

them back on an even keel finan-
cially.
It's bad business for a man to
work a whole year and invest mo-
ney in his work and come up in
the fall with no pay day. This
writer without any equivocatlon
goes on record here and now to
say that there is a cure or a re-
medy for this situation. That re-
medy is balanced farming.
l would like to cite one of the
best examples of this in Mr.. R. c.
Spencer's farm near Coxburg.
Mr.. Spencer recently made the
statement to me while l was max
ing a routine visit to his farm,
that these expensive, make moth
ing cotton crops would break him
up if it wasn't for the fact that
he had other marketable pro-
ducts from his farm to counter
balance his cotton. For instance,
he walked to the back of his house
and there Yves a 5000 capacity
broiler house, full of broilers. Mr..
Spencer grows these birds at a
comfortable profit which comes
in every three months.
On another side Mr.. Spencer be-
gan calling hogs. Near half a hun
dred of all sizes and ages came at
their masters call and showed
promises of being able to consume
part of an easy 1000 bushels of 100
bushel acre corn being produced
by Mr.. Spencer.
His easy money though, is in his
cattle. Common cows with white
faced calves Craze native lespede-
"a and bermuda grass, that cost
very little to produce. A calf crop
from 80 odd cows means fat
pocket book in anybody's langu-
age today.
Not only Mr.. Spencer but others
who follow this safe, balanced
system of farming tell the same
story.
It's time for all farmers, more
especially the small farmers, to
stop and think and make plans.
Plan now for next years crop.
Let's get our farming balanced.
Let's get away from only one crop
system. This writer would invite
any farmer to call at the LADA
office for information on the va
rious branches of balanced farm
ing. Let's work out some plan
for some other source of income
than just cotton alone. At least
one type of livestock is necessary
to utilize all the surplus grass and
roughage that grows accidently
on every farm. Plan now to make
livestock a permanent fixture on
your farm.

Mr.. Vinson said recent compila-
tions of armed strength have
ignored the some $500 first-line
naval and Marine Corps aircraft
of the United States.
Mr.. Vinson said he suspected
that the United States and allies
have at least as many as and
probably considerably more first
line aircraft than the Soviet
Union (whose figure of 10000 to
$4,000 includes all aircraft and
not merely the first-line military

The chairman said that it would
appear evident that attack by
Russian long-range bombers OF
our B-29 type would not take
place, until and unless Russia has
ample stocks of atomic bombs

by this time" said the chair
man, new defensive techniques
and weapons such as guided mis-
siles will, as DR.. Vannevar Bush
was stated, have turned the tide
against the giant bombers. The
B-36 is bigger and better. Many
of our B-29s are going to Eng
land to be ready from vantage
points"
Weak spots in our defense Mr.
Vinson pointed out as:

around our bombers Is greatly in
need of acceleration,
2. The guided-missile programs
should have more emphasis in
each service,
3. The Navy should have a new

Reds East Mark Falls
To Il Amid Rumors Of
Currency Revision
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Mar. 18.-The Sovie,
zones East mark plunged in value
to little more than two cents today
The collapse paralyzed trade ir
the Russian sector of Berlin.
Merchants held onto their good.
rather than accept a currency
which had gone down 80 per CEN
in "a hours.
Rumors that the Russian:
would make their revalued ruble
the monetary basis revalued rublt
satellites, including East Germany
touched off the panic. A denial By
the East German Bank of Ennis
sion failed to brake the slide.
West Mark Worth 23c.
The situation dramatized Ger
mans faith in the West mark
which is backed by European re-
covery and the reputation of the
American dollar. 1t is worth 23.S
cents.
Fifty-two money exchange Of
fees, where Berliners trade East
marks for West marks and vice
versa, were thronged with long
lines of persons trying to unload
every East mark in their possess
sion.
The exchange Offices refused to
handle any big amounts. They
dld business only with the small
customers. They said they did
not have enough West marks on
hand to meet the demand.
The offices closed at noon-the
usual hour on Saturday-with the
official rate pegged at nine East
marks to one West mark. The
usually realistic black market hit
10 to one. Banks indicated new
official rates are a virtual Ger
tainty when business is resumed
Monday.
Some Buy East Marks.
A minor reversal of the trend
was reported at a half dozen
branch exchange Offices opened in
West Berlin this afternoon. A
number of wage earners, appar-
emily believing they could pick up
some quick bargains in the Soviet
sector, bought East marks.
This furry of business had a
tendency to raise the rate tenn
porarily to eight East marks for
one West mark. But financial
observers considered it only a
superficial change.
The East mark had averaged
one-fourth the value of the West
mark for more than a year. A dip
started January l. It gained
momentum after the Soviet Union
boosted the official value of its
ruble February % from 10 to Is
cents and announced that hence
forth it would use gold rather
than the dollar as its international
monetary yardstick.

QueSClOnS was why Lne review
Boards executive officer, L. v.

Il have never heard of the Service
case"
Mr.. Richardson said Mr.. Meloy's S
Statement was intended to put
an end to the continuous queries
visited upon him concerning mat
ters that he was not at liberty to
discuss"
The queries resulted from SEN
ator McCarthy's testimony dis
closing the boards action in the
Service case.
Gives No Hint of Source.
Senator Mccarthy has given no
hint of how he obtained the in
formation several hours in ad-
vance Of the arrival of the Review
Boards notification at the State
Department but he told reporters
it came from source at the De-
partment, not from anyone at the
Review Board.
He told the Senate Committee
that the Review Board was return
ing the diplomats file with the
recommendation that Mr.. Service
be interrogated personally. At that
time he suggested that the sub
committee find out "if Service was
not considered bad security risk
by the Loyalty Review Board -
The State Department said the
Review Board, which customarily
post-audits all loyalty cases, had
not disagreed with the findings
of the departments own board
and that no new suspicious" were
involved in the actions in the case.
1t said the Review Board appar-
emily thinks Mr.. Service should
have an opportunity to be heard
personally. He was given clear
ance by the board in January,
1949, but the case was not sent
to the Richardson board until
September. nine months later. 1t
was said the delay was occasioned
by waiting for complete docu-
ments from China.
Review Suggested.
The Review Board suggested on
February %. 1850, that the de-
partment's Loyalty Board review
the matter since the documents
were now available In addition to
the telegraphic clearance which
Mr.. Service had been given more
than a year earlier.
This was done, the clearance
was confirmed, and the case re-
turned to the Richardson board
March /. On March IL the board
sent back the file with the recon-
mendation that Mr.. Service be in
terrogated personally, and it was
this information that Senator
Mccarthy disclosed to the COM
mittee last Tuesday morning five
hours before the State. Depart
ment received the notification.
There was a leak and we are
trying to find out where it was" :"
Mr.. Richardson said, mot because
the leak was so important in this
case but it might be in others"
BY this time Mr.. Service was
en- route to his post in India and

called him back.
