Madison County farmers will
reduce their corn acreage this
year to be fully eligible for the
federal price support crop loans.
The corn acreage allotment for
the county is 10000, according to
figures released by the Madison
County AAA office.
The 1850 allotment is IA per
cent under the 1949 planting, but
IL per cent more than the aver
age during the last 10 years.
Planting last year amounted to
7O.890 acres.
Farmers planting within the
allotment do son on purely vol
untary basis, according to c. G..
Harsh of the AAA Office. Over
planting can cause loss of eligi-
bility under the price support
program, but causes no conflict
with other features, he indicated.

IsroeI's Destiny

We did not borrow our values
from others. Nothing could be
more foolish and mistaken than
to term the Israeli working move
ment ''reformist" or revolution
ary." We did not copy German
Social Democracy, even at the
time when, before the First World
War, it held supreme place in the
Socialist world and it's opponents
were regarded as the authorities
on Socialist theory. We did not
copy British L Dor or Russian
Communism and we shall not do
so. We have gone our own way,
for the simple reason that we be-
long to a people whose fate re-
senbles that of no other people
and that we have been charged
with a task such as has not been
performed by any other workers
movement in the world.
On the other hand, we are not
living in vacuum, and we are
not cut off from mankind and the
workers of the world. We realize
the ties between us and other
peoples and the workers in other
countries. But they are ties that
contain no element of Servitude,
either intellectual or moral. We
are not subservient either moral
ly or Intellectually, to anyone in
the world. We know our own
needs better than others do. We
would not say what path America
ought to pursue, nor appoint our
selves as unsought advisers of
Russia. Both these countries will
work out their own destiny. And
for our part, we have never and
shall not let others dictate what
is good or bad for us, or what we
should or should not do. We shall
work out our destiny.

Suspicious Of their actions,
Thomas began searching Rasmus-
sen and found a revolver in his
overalls, but before he could con-
tinue, Artz grabbed the officer
from behind and took his pistol

Some people in Business have a
very nasty disposition toward the
public. Remember the public is
not compelled to buy in any place
on the avenues, and the way some
of you waitress treat the public
is a shame. You throw things on
their table or leave the finished
dishes too long on the tables, or
you butt in on their conversation
when you are not wanted. And
"You the Public" owe the wait
ress a lot or respect by not
changing your order too many
times or not wanting to pay for

sake, TALK TO THEM AS IF

of conferences. Lloyd A. Royal, di-
rector, International Pacific Sal
mon Fisheries Commission, New
Westminster, B. c., set forth the
longer open season theory with

fisheries from depletion by foreign
fishermen.
Other sessions were concerned
with catching, processing and
marketing fish products.
The Andersons joined Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Wakefield in Seattle

les. Walter Herkness, biologist for
the ADJ, presented the research
findings of last summers tagging
of salmon and was complimented
upon the material and presentation,
Anderson reported.
Enroute to the San Francisco
meeting the party visited the Fish
and Wildlife king salmon hatchery
at Coleman, Calf.
Upon his return to Seattle An
derson attended the international
S'ockeye Salmon Commission meet
ing which was taking up a study
of proposed regulations for the
