Standard of LIVING

There is discussion in Congress about
the form which the increase in pay to
Federal workers should take. There
seems to be considerable support for the
plan to increase salaries of all grades
Of employees by the same amount Of
money. instead Of increasing all base
salaries by the same percentage. Advo-
Gates Of the dat-sum increase claim
that it is, reasonable because the pro-
posed adjustment in pay is intended to
be a cost Of living" compensation.
It seems to me that this reasoning
could hardly be more illogical. Ones
cost Of living" is obviously nothing
more nor less than the cost Of main
tanning ones standard Of living. Is it
not clear that, as prices in general rise,
the cost Of maintaining standards of
living rise by the same percentage at all
levels OF income? Is it not reasonable
that II a. family with q $4,000 income
needs q $500 increase to maintain its
standard Of living. then family with q
$4,000 income needs $500?
Granting Of flat-sum increase clearly
] would have the effect of lowering the
standard Of living Of employees In higher
grades with respect to those In the lower
grades. There are those, of course, who
oppose our present type Of economy and
would like to abolish. or 50 they claim,
all differences in standards Of living
among the people Of the country. But 1t
is disconcerting to find In Congress men
who. either through lack of thought or
desire to remain politically popular.
support policies which tend to further
such ends.

Cattle feeders are quitting business.

Wait for Ruin or Strike Before Struck?

ultimatuYn, I personally see no immor-
ality, though much tragedy and horror
Of consequences, in the Government Of
the United States choosing the lesser
Of two evils.
Neither reason nor theology nor
morals require men or nations to COM
NIT suicide by requiring that we must
await the first blow from power with
no moral inhibitions and when, as in
the case now under consideration, the
attack would surely include q lombard
ment Of atomic bombs. Even Christ
Himself did not disdain to seize lash
and drive the hypocrites out of the
temple"
Father Walsh stresses the point that
no nation in its right senses would 60
to war with us unless 1t had a super
bomb. He feels that STEW moralists viii
insist that we must wait until the
enemy delivers the first atomic blow"
Thus to wait might very well be fatal,
not only to vast number Of individ-
ualS, as is obvious, but to our entire
system Of national defense and to our
existence as nation"

been fully realized: We are committed

responsibility. II we are morally justi-
fed In using the bomb to defend our
selves, then. since we have accepted the
principle Of guaranteeing the security
Of fellow members Of the United Ma
lions. I'VE must be consistent in our
moral conclusions" This means, he
contends. that if we used the bomb
against any nation named by the U. N.
as aggressor. even though the invasion
were not directed against the United
States, such retaliation would not
violate Christian morality"
The authors discussion OF the bomb
is only one phase Of scholarly and
highly informative book in which he
traces the Russian revolution back to
Lenin, Engels and Marx. Those men.

Father Walsh, but has been clear and

Market Corn Through Hogs
During recent years farmers
have learned that by using high
fertilization and good manage
ment they can produce high
yields of corn per acre. BY so
doing the farmer is raising corn
much more profitably than he
could a few years ago. However,
too often corn prices are very low
at harvest time and farmers with
out the proper storage facilities
are usually forced to take these
low prices.
In order for the farmer to get
the most from his corn he must
do one or both of two things -
namely, build approved storage
facilities for storing corn in or
der to get the government loan in
the fall or fence the corn fields
and hog the corn off in the fall.
Your fencing cost a be kept at
a minimum by using electric fem
ces where possible.
The latter could very easily be
worked into the farming pro-
gram of the small farms in this
areo. One or two sows could be
maintained, with very little con-
centrates, on improved pastures,
and the pigs could be finished off
on the corn fields in the fall or
feeder pigs could be bought in
the early fall and finished out on
the corn fields.
Such a program would elimin-
ate a large part of the expense of
storing and handling the corn.
Not only do you keep your in
vestment down but by selling
your corn through the hogs il
will bring $500 per bushel COM
pared with $1.50 per bushel on
the market.
In an area such as ours where
corn can be grown so profitably
it would pay many farmers to
lconsider a long time before turn
ing thumbs down" on a corn and
hog plan on their farm.

Rains and showers over the
county during the past week have
caused boil weevils to emerge
from Information. In checking
cotton fields the past 4 or 5 days
we have found many more vice.
wills on cotton than we found the
week before the rain started. It
is impossible to stress the impor-
lance of poisoning cotton at this
time. If weevils are allowed to
60 unchecked after your cotton
has started to squaring you will
continue to have a new crop of
weevils being Matched out from
punctured squares every few days.
1t takes from IL to II days for
the boil weevil to hatch so you
will continue to be bothered with
the boil weevil unless you con-
troll your weevils early.
All poisons on the market are
good for boil weevils if applied
right. However, some insecticides
will kill much faster than others
but will not kill as long as other
poisons. For instance $50 and
aldrin will do a quick job Of
killing the weevils in the field
but will not kill over two or three
days whereas, toxaphene and diel.
drin ire much slower killing in
secticides but will kill the vice.
vii up to 6 or z days after applied
during good weather. Take the
weather into consideration in de-
termining the insecticide to use
in controlling the boil weevil.
If you are having frequent
showers or weather is threaten
ing then use a quick killing pois-
on such as $50 or aldrin. Dur
ing good weather, without any
sign Of rain, your best insecticide
would possibly be toxaphene or
dieldren during the rest of June
and early port of July. Toxa-
phene will also control boil worm
if applied at the rate Of 10 pounds
per acre. From the middle of
July on to the rest of your boil
weevil control period your fast
killing poisons, your $50 and al
drin, would possibly be the best
poison to use in controlling the
boil weevil.

Worm ~Infestation

Worm Infestation
There are a number of fields OF
cotton in Holmes county that are
being damaged severely by boil
worm. Every farmer should check
his cotton field very close every
few days. If boil worms r pre-
sent use 20 per cent toxaphene at
the rate of 10 pounds per acre if
busting. If you have spray equip
ment use toxaphene at the rate
of 2 or 8 gallons per acre de-
pending upon the size Of cotton
or you may add Is per cent DOT
emulsion to aldrin in spraying
for boil weevil and the worms.
Use one gallon of Is per cent DOT
emulsion to II gallons of water.
Your cotton should receive 2 to 3
gallons of this mixture per acre to
give good control of the worms.
