FOREIGN AID:
BottomIess Pit?

The question Of whether the
United States ever would be freed
of the burden of supplying economic
aid to Europe was beginning to &C.
cupy the minds of many us. citi-
zens.
With more than eight billion dol
lars already spent on efforts to-
ward European recovery-that's on
the basis of released figures-and
western European nations now
asking for another four or five bill
lion for the next two years, the
astronomical figures were becom-
ing more astronomical.
The apparent situation indicated
that all the ERP supporters had to
do in order to get more funds for
European aid was to report "amaz-
ing progress" by the foreign nas
tons on the road to recovery, and
Immediately temper that with a
"but''-the "but" being that more
and more money would have to be
spent eff" recovery were to be
permanent.
The Marshall plan is supposed to
end in 1852, but the follower of US.
foreign policy as it affects aid to
needy nations would lay the "cus-
tomary eight-to-five" that the plan
will not end in 1852.
By that time, with crisis mount
ing on crisis because of the immi-
ence of the H-bomb and word that
Russia already has it, it logically
may be expected that there will be
found multiple reasons for contin-
uance of aid to Europe to an extent
whereof no man can see the end.

BRITAIN:
Warning Sounded

The pledge of Anthony Eden,
British deputy Conservative lead
q, who, with Winston Churchill
and other party big-wigs in today's
election, is hoping to overthrow
he Labor party, that the Conser-
vatves will work with all nations
for peace, might have meant more
than It indicated.
EDEN, being the astute world
diplomat that he is, must know
that there are elements in many
places, particularly the United
States, who feel that there must
b no further support of power for
the Labor party in England.
With the Laborites' position
often regarded as the fostering of
socialism, the more conservative
people everywhere fear it. 1t has
been an amazing thing to most stu
dents Of world history how the
British, additionally jealous of
their liberties, ever permitted the
imposition Of this kind of govern
ment upon them. A reduction of
the answer to fundamentals might
explain that it came about only
through the economic distress of
the once proud and mighty empire.
1T IS APPARENTLY assured
that whatever the outcome, the
Labor party faces its severest test
IN today's election.
Eden warned, in the first broad
east Of a Conservative speech in
the tust-ended campaign, that the
United Nations is at its lowest
sbb, the democracies are forced
to pay dearly for ornaments, and
the nightmare of communism
stalks through Asia" He made a
falling point in recalling that the
Labor party in 1945 declared that
Il 1t were returned to power, it
could get along with the Russians
because Of its Socialist ideology-
and how the world situation had
gone from bad to worse since then
OPPOSITION SPEAKER Labor
lite Fuel Minister Hugh Gaitskill,
had told an audience at Leeds that
the cost Of socialism was high in
Britain, and would remain high,
but declared the cost worthwhile
because under the Labor govern
ment acute poverty has really been
abolished"
That was a debatable point about
which the argument continued
while Britain voted.

PIT MEN,:
An Old Foe

An old and hated enemy was
again at grips with John L. Lewis
and his United Mine workers.
After a delay which brought him
sharp criticism, President Harry
Truman had turned to the device
he declares he hates in order to
bring order out of the coal strike
chaos.
THERE WE'RE MANY who had
begun to wonder if Mr.. Truman
known for the stubbornness he en-
ploys when balked-ever would re-
sort to the TIL law to resolve the
mine deadlock. Now that he has,
it would cause much delight in the
ranks of the political opposition.
The TIL law, however regarded,
has been used several times in ma
tional emergencies with an effect
that gives it real cause for be-
ing, whether anyone likes it or not.
The miners, however, showed
defiance. They still chanted the old
traditional refrain: mo contract
no work" And it looked like a
contract agreement was far off as
the President named a three-mem-
Der board of inquiry who would at
tempt to restore peace in the
troubled situation.
TO THE BOARD, President Tru-
man named David L. Cole, Patter-
son, NJ, attorney who headed a
similar board in 1913 that settled
bitter contract row between
Lewis and the operators: John
Dunlop, Harvard university bust
ness school, and a veteran in labor
management relations; and W.
Willard Writ, Northwestern uni
versity law professor and former
chairman Of the wage sterilization
board.
Theirs would be the difficult job,
because John L. Lewis was a diff
cult man to deal with. He might be
even more difficult since his three
day work week had reduced the
nations coal stockpile to a two
week supply at the time of the
strike.

EGG PRICES:
No Humpty Dumpty

The American egg situation had
no chance to rival the nursery
Humpty Dunpty story, inasmuch
as federal price supports were fixed
50 that no such fall as occurred to
the nursery-rhyme egg could hap
pen to this modern counterpart.
THE GOVERNMENT, which al
ready owns some 100 million dol
lars worth Of eggs intended to keep
on buying them through March Of
this year. The idea was to support
the price at an average of rs cents
a dozen on the farm.
The governments policy was
quantity stated by one federal Of
fetal who summed it up with:
THE hens are laying their fool
heads off,"
The farm price of rs cents a
dozen was about rs per cent of
parity, level calculated to be
equally fair to producers and con.
sumers. Producers of dried eggs,
the statement said, would continue
to get about IS cents pound.
Most of the eggs the government
buys are dried. In the past two
years it has accumulated about 70
million pounds of these eggs, most
at a price of SIPS a pound. Some
are stored in a cool cave near
Atkinson, Kansas. The rest are in
warehouses in other sections of
the country.
THE QUESTION of what to do
with them has become the major
problem. The law permits the de-
partment of agriculture to give
them away if they are kept out of
commercial, competitive channels
This restricts them to welfare pur-
poses and similar uses.

Treated Fence Posts
Last 1870 Years
Directions Given For
Cutting, Feeling. Use
OF Pento Solution
by r. S. Melton.
Henry F. Flemming

The rapid expansion in the
farm practices of using treated
posts is revealed in a survey of
some 10000 farmers and F. F. A.
members who reported over $780,
900 such posts produced during
the last five months of 1949.
Holmes county is in the midst
of a vast pasture expansion pro-
gram because of the trend toward
livestock production. Land suit
able to row crops can be made
highly productive under the pre-
sent pasture program by the de-
velopment of improved pastures.
One of the big points in good
pasture management is enough
fencing for controlled grazing.
Untreated non-durable posts
usually last from 2 to 5 years in a
pasture fence, compared to "Pen-
ia" (PentachlorophenoD treated
posts that last Is to 20 years. Add
to this the P. M. A. payments for
treated posts and a farmer can
actually build a permanent fence
almost as cheap as he can build a
temporary fence.
What should be cut for fence
posts? Young stands of trees that
are too small for pulpwood should
be thinned, always following
the principles of good forestry
management.
When should fence posts be cut?
Posts can be cut any season. No
vember to March posts dry with
out heavy checking but are harder
to peel. From April to October
they are easier to peel, check
more and insects and rot attack
sooner.
What size to cut? Line posts
should be 3 inches in diameter
at small end and 6 feet long. Cor
ner, pull, and stretcher posts
should be 5 inches at small end
and z to 8 feet long. Larger OF
longer posts generally TT a waste
of timber and cost of treating
runs too high.
When and how to peel? Posts
should be peeled as soon as pos
sible. All inner bark must be re-
moved. The preserving solution
will not 60 through the inner bark
and results in a poorly treated
post if the bark is not completely
removed.
How to dry? Dip posts for 2 to
3 minutes in "Penta" solution to
prevent sawyer attack. Sort posts
as to sizes and stack crib fashion

$4,000 Seedlings

Cont. from page 5 this section)
Gus old cones which we're pro-
duced in the past years.
The production of pine seed is
not immune to the frivolity of the
weather. Seed is born in the fe-
male flowers which are the cones
and they are pollinated by the
male flowers that give off a dense
yellow dust-like pollen in March
or April. Rain or frost during
this time may ruin the crop. Also
when the seed is mature in Oc-
tober and ready to be shed, a long
rainy season may cause the cones
not to open and rot the seed held
within it.
Birds, insects, rodents, soil con-
ditions and fire take their toll of
seed that might have become
trees.
For these reasons and others,
hundreds of thousands of idle
acres each year are being put back
into production of forest products
throughout the South by artificial
reforestation Or tree planting. The
demand for pine trees becomes
greater each year as more people
realize that their land is not re-
stocking satisfactorily, and as the
value of pine forests becomes
more generally known. The pro-
ductive capacity of state and fe-
deral pine nurseries cannot keep
up with the ever increasing de-
mand for pine seedlings and more
seedlings. It is a good sign that
we are becoming conscious of one
of our replaceable natural re-
sources.

Land, Trees
Combination
Soil C~onservutionist
Pledges Assistance
To Holmes Formers
by A. p. Curron
Soil Conservationist

Timber is used on all farms. The
cheapest way to have it is to
produce it on the farm, provided
there is land better adapted to
timber than to other crops.
The Holmes County Soil Con-
servation District wants to assist
the farmer in establishing and inn
proving farm forests. There are
several ways that the district
technician can assist the farmers,
selecting appropriate areas to be
planted, assisting in procurement
of pine seedlings, instructions in
planting, assisting in wood land
management, in harvesting and
marketing wood land products.
The most important is to assist
the farmer in locating the land
that is best adapted to grow for
est. We have only a few things
that we car use land for. 1t will
either be row crops, grasses or
legumes, or timber. The most sue
cessful farmers plant on their land
what it is best adapted to grow.
However, the land that grows the
best row crops will grow good
timber or probably better than
some of the sleeper land that we
recommend for timber. But due
to the cost of the better land in
most cases, from the standpoint of
farm economy, it is not practical
to grow timber. The technician
will place orders for trees and
supervise the farmer in the best
method of planting trees.
Also, the district can help the
farmer in management of his tim
Der, as to when to thin, what trees
to leave and which trees to mar
ket. 1t is fortunate in having two
graduate foresters who will help
the technicians with problems
that they not capable of doing, H.
r. Raum, with the u. S. Forest
Service and Frank Haggerty,
with the Extension Service.
We have found that the hill
section of Holmes county is more
adapted to grasses, legumes and
trees than for row crops. Grazing
land and trees properly managed
make a good combination on a
farm.
The grasses and legumes can
be grazed by livestock, making a
good profit. Also, the grazing re-
duces the fire hazard in a forest.
The income from the livestock
helps to tide the farmer over until
ne can get an annual income
started from the forest.

Is inches off the ground and allow
to dry for 3 to 4 months.
What type of dipping tank is
necessary? A simple tank made
by cutting three drums and weld
! ing the ends together is very sat
isfactory.
What solution of preservative
to use? Mix the solution / to 4,
l to 8, l to 10, as recommended by
manufacturer, using the concen-
trate and a dilutent of kerosene,
tractor fuel or other light petrol
cum.
How long to treat? The length
of time of treating depends on
size of post and kind of wood,
larger posts take longer. Pine and
poplar treat quickest; gum, oak,
elm take longer. The time will
average "a to 48 hours for most
woods of small diameter.
