Evils Of Comic Books

I read with good deal of interest
the letter by George Abbott on the
subject of comic books, as I did the
article by DR.. Fredric Workman. The
time for blaming movies and television
for troubles which begin at home seems
to have passed. We now have comic
books.
am a father my son was given
a subscription to Classics Illustrated,
which satisfies his desire for comic
books and at the same time treasures
me that he is exposed to the finest Of
literary legend. Only once has he
brought home horror" comic; since
they are not forbidden. he has no rea-
son to hide them; however. his appetite
for such Sensationalism is meager since
his curiosity is sated here at home.
It seems to me that far too many
parents of today look for scapegoat
rather than admit to the blame of mis-
directing their children. honestly feel
that the behavior of my children de-
pends on what they learn at home and
at school and if their education is fully
rounded and their emotions tenderly
nurtured, there will be no need for fur
tive searches. They will be vaccinated
against exposure to all the lurid and
horrible stimuli which surround them;
and the sooner today's parents examine
their own shortcomings. the quicker
they will abandon the need Of crutch
on which to lean.

Please Note, Senator

The President didn't mention Senator
Mccarthy, but he must have been thinking
about him when he released his summary of
anti Communist activities by the Attorney
General and the FBI over the past 16 months
1t was an impressive total of arrests, in
dictments, convictions and punishment-all in,
conformance with due process of law. And as
the President added bit sharply, this els being
done quietly and relentlessly, and those who
best know its effectiveness are the Communists
themselves"
At the least, it is a record which rebuts the
suggestion that the administration is doing
nothing about Communists, and that therefore
it is the "duty" Of every executive employe to
turn informer and 60 rushing up to Senator
Mccarthy. Can any one name even one Com
munist who is in Jail as result Of anything
Senator Mccarthy has done7
The big race at Indianapolis wasn't
televised, and even the Army Mccarthy thing
was in recess that day, so there was no program
to appeal to the viewer who likes to watch
people 50 round apd round. 4

Soils and Crops
Adjust Cropping Practices
To Available Moisture
By RALPH MERCER

ducers in Montana have done right
well in the last decade. Some figures
saw lately giving the revised 1858 Cash
Farm Income for all 48 states listed
Montana as ninth among all the states.
To land in the top fifth is no small
accomplishment and should lend en-
enlargement to all producers.
So, as we come to the end of another
year, we can look ahead with the
thought that as a state we have done
well. We can be assured that though
we are in an area where many things
can happen, we can control many fac
tors and continue to do well if we plant
our crops in the best known manner,
and protect our grass where it is hay
ing a little rough going.
May sum it all up by wishing all the
readers of this column very happy
and prosperous 1855.

Soils and Crops

once month in this column, but as I
look back it doesn't seem so long How
ever, when I start to retrace some of
the happenings that have been placed
in the record books and take a good
look around there are many faces that
have changed, people have known are
no more, farm and ranch practices have
changed materially, varieties of crops
grown that are rarely heard of anymore
and many PHILOSOPHERS that have been
reworked or have disappeared.
All of which brings me around to the
point that many of these changes that
have taken place over the years in
Montana agriculture have been for the
best. We are in the Northern Great
Plains and, as such, we operate on the
basis of limited annual precipitation.
While some of us forget that production
in this area should be based on follow
ing the best practices possible for an
arid climate, by and large Montana
producers have set very fine produc-
ton record.
Stable Production
The more closely all phases of our
agricultural economy can operate on
the basis of limited rainfall, the more
stable our production pattern will be-
come. Whether it be in the matter of
adjusting the cropping system to avail
able moisture in the summer-fallow,
determining the class of grain to pro-
duce or adjusting the seeding rates
to provide at least a fighting chance
for plants in a given area to produce a
quality product, there is a place for
some serious thinking.
Or if the grasses growing on the
range are being abused and the reserve
winter feed supplies are not adequate,
some adjustments in livestock numbers
must be made without Gripping or dis
turbing the pattern of best land use.
These situations naturally come to
mind when rejecting on both good and
bad cycles that have been in evidence
in this state in the last quarter of a
century. 1t may be bad thinking, but
when l read of and talk with people
about conditions that have existed in
the southern portion of the Great Plains
area over the last three years, I begin
to wonder if there might be possibility
of the drouth extending north as far as
Montana.
Those in the locations that have beer
declared disaster areas can paint Z
picture that is even worse than wha
we went through in 1934-37. The root:
of our grass stood the tremendous shocI
of drouth and overgrazing and eventual
ly came back under favorable condi
tons, but the grasses and legumes ar,
gone in some areas of the southern Dor
ton Of the Great Plains and replantin,
has failed to establish a stand.
Back to Average?
Even though we did come out of tn
1854 season with fair crop, very few
areas of the state escaped drouth a
critical periods of plant growth and
with the exception of small areas, W
went into winter with dry conditions
Does this mean that we are in cycl
of reduced rainfall, or does it mean tina
we are getting back to average cor
ditions in this whole area?
Such conditions are just an indicatio
that what happens next spring an

British Students
Can Sue Teachers
Destroying Comics
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 12.-British
school teachers seizing comic
books from children in class
rooms had better not destroy
them. The kids may sue.
This warning was issued yes
terday by the National Union Of
Teachers, whose legal eagles
have come up with the following
opinion:
''The comic Is not valueless.
Ownership does not reside in the
teacher. To destroy it or other
wise deprive the true owner of it
permanently would be an illegal
act in which. in theory at any
rate, an action for conversion
and detinue might lie."
The opinion explained that it's
okay to grab the comic and dis
cipline the child. but the book
should be returned at the end of
the school day.
