=: gotn9.er ee MONS NIGHT OUT

It's 1sraers 9th independence Day and Mons
making night of it. She's standing guard on
the settlement watchtower.
Put yourself in Mona's place. It's not much
of way to celebrate your country's birth of
freedom.
But ON Israel's frontier there's no half price
for Liberty. You still pay in full in eternal
vigilance, sweat, tears and often, blood.
Beyond the border is an enemy with con-
tempt for all your country represents; oppor-
tunity, aid to newcomers, democracy.
In his hands are late model Communist arms
-swift jet bombers, sleek fighters and heavy
tanks weapons for attack.
On his lips is threat sweep all of you
and eight years of amazing, Western-style'
progress into the sea.

long night on the tower, wouldn't it be natural?
If she worries that Israers people have no
arms to match the enemy's, wouldn't one
understand?
But Nom being Nom = will probably think
about the kids. She'll think about her own and
all the kids who should be growing up healthy
and free.
Nom knows her job is on the border, guard
ing freedom. Just now she can't help bring
the kids - and adults who plead to come
from lands of danger. Because she can't - we
must.
At least $4,000 Jews in turbulent North
Africa must be rescued now.
For Freedom their freedom give an
increased gift to the United Jewish Appeal.
Then give great extra gift to UJA's Special
Survival Fund. Cire today!

The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-01-27

The cash cost of farming is up,
and likely to stay that way for a
while. Agricultural economists
point out. that farmers spend
four times as much annually for
non-farm goods and services as
they did during 1859. Price
increases account for only about
half of these expenditures. With
this increase in the cash cost of
production. 1t is more important
for farmers to improve their
managerial ability.
Because of the rapid capital
turnover it is easier for farmers
to '.go broke" now than it was 10
years ago.
Feed. an important production
item on. many Virginia farms. is
in record supply. The supply of
the four feed grains (corn barley,
oats, and grain sOrghum) Is about
lOcs above the record supply Of
a year ago. The amount Of grain
per grain-consuming animal is
about Sc above the Swear aver
age. The high protein feed supply
is up and prices are down about
20 to $3.50. The economists say
the drop in protein prices relative
to feed grains may warrant an
other look at grain rations in
order to take advantage Of the
price relationship.
Hay. which is generally plent-
iful in most areas of Virginia and
the southeast. is price lower than
a year ago. There is considerable
difference in price Of hay between
areas because of the cost Of ship

Grow Best Plants
Possible for 1856
Leafmen Advise

It. will pay growers to grow the
best plants possible. for Virginia's
1855 tobacco crop.
Tobacco specialists at VPI say
good plants enable the grower to
plant the crop on time Generally.
early planted crops are better than
late crops You will get a better
stand from the first planting The
crop will be more uniform. easier
to cultivate and harvest. The crop
will mature earlier and be easier
to cure.
Furthermore. the specialist say.
when you go off your own farm
to get plants you risk bringing
serious diseases to your fields.
They have few suggestions
TO help you grow tobacco plants to
be proud Of:
Be sure to choose n Well-drain-
ed soil high in organic matter

the east or south and is protected
