WASHINGTON tR - The United
States is producing a record vol
ume of crop and livestock products
this year, but not all farmers are
sharing in it.
In its September crop progress
report, the Agriculture Department
said livestock farmers in some Sec
tons of the South and Southwest
face serious shortages of feed for
their cattle and other livestock next
winter because of drought damage.
The volume of crops indicated
on Sept. / was close to the second
largest of record, produced in 1949,
the department said. The produc-
ton of livestock productS-meat
animals, dairy and poultry prod
ucts and wOOl-will be the largest
ever produced. AS a result the
combined production of crops and
livestock products will set new
record.
A feature of this years produc-
ton is the fact that it is well bal
anced. That is. the prospective big
production does not reflect record
Outturns of a few crops offset by
small volumes of other crops. Only
in the case of winter wheat and
rice are production records indi-
Gated.

If This Rock of Ours" could
be said to have a purpose, it
probably could be defined as
seeking to restore ethical consi-
deratiCns in the lives of its read
ers. Say what you like, we're a
race imitators today. Our
ethical or moral conduct is based
not so much on serious thought
but on blindly copying what our
next door neig' Dor does.
Such imitation is natural. 1t is
the pri1 airy reason why litera-
ture has been so influential
throughout history. Readers &C.
cept the actions of their favorite
hero as being a desirable form of
conduct and, if the author has
sufficient coverage, he is soon
leading mass of humanity
around by the nose.
This Pock of Ours" isn't liter
ature and its author, like the
average man in the street, is an
imitator rather than a brilliant
philosopher. These two facts
make it imperative that the
column not initiate new ethi~al
concepts but abide by what
seems to be the best out of past
history.
Writers whose works are the
best known, are not necessarily
the ones who offer the most
constructive code of life.
Lord Byron, for instance, was
the most famous of English au-
thors during the Romantic Era.
All through his writings you will
find a Sas and evil background
for his hero. 1t is not surprising
that Lord Byron himself lived
life of wild debauchery. And,
since human nature hasn't
changed, most of his readers in
the late 18th and early 10Th
Century copied him.
Robert Browning, on the other
hand, never achieved the noto-

always appealed to the higher

What child's life hasn't been

the last two lines?
"And whether they pipe US free

If we've promised them aught,

How many people, ground un-

not receive inspiration and

No moralist has ever given
better advice than Bacon nor has

Every serious thinker should
read Bacon's Essay" and his

Bacon was later found guilty of
accepting brides in court only
emphasizes mans need for liv-

1t might seem presumptuous
that a petty and purely local
column such as This Rock of

a notiol of ethics or morals. The
fact remains that fifteen or
twenty thousand people read The

Political
Notes
BY The Associated Press


Gov. Adlai Stevenson, cheered
by the success of his first try at
whistle-Stop speaking, invaded Los
Angeles today with hard hitting adj
dresses on corruption in govern
ment and his views on social Sc
curity laws.
The Democratic presidential can
didate Travelled by train from San
Francisco yesterday, making eight
short stops and eight quick
speeches along the way.
The speeches followed President
Truman'S successful whistle-stop
technique: off-the-cuff comments,
slaps at Republicans, quips and
jokes.
Crowds estimated at 1900 to
1000 on the average, with high
of 5000 in Fresno, responded with
cracking reaction, shouting:
"AttabOy, Steve Give it to
'em Give 'em hell, Adlai."
For his two major addresses to-
day, however, Stevenson returns
to his custom of speaking from
prepared texts.
The Los Angeles visit, although
an important political stop on his
Western campaign swing, also was
a sentimental journey he was
born in the city.

VALLEY TRAFFIC PROVES HAZARDOUS FOR MOOSE

The prevalence of moose in the Valley in recent weeks has proven an ideal situation for camera enthusiasts but not quite so profitable for some of the ani- mals and car owners.
 Eight moose. seven of which were calves, have been killed when struck by cars and trucks. The Fish and Wildlife agents and Deputy Marshal Bill BouWens have been busy answering reports from conscientious residents who have called them.
 Bob Burkholder pointed out that everyone is cooperating to the best of their ability. One person called in what he thought was an illegal incident, following the killing of a moose on the Glenn Highway Investigation proved that the "culprits" dress out the carcass were men from the FWS office. Stomach samples and jaw specimens are' being taken by the service, the former for a winter feed study. The jaw bones are being used in deter mining age factors,
 The meat has been distributed by the Fish and Wildlife to char itable institutions and causes around the Valley.
 Holgar Larson, FWS agent, re- minded residents that it is illegal to shoot a moose, even though 1t appears badly injured. A report to the nearest agent or the Mar shal's office will send officials to the scene and they will take charge of the injured moose.
