Most Farmers Are
Poorly Prepared
In Case of Fire

With farm fires destroying some
$50 million dollars property loss
each year, most American farmers
still are in a hopeless position for
bringing fire under control.
A national survey shows that
IS percent of all farms lack water
for a rural fire department, ac-
cording to A. v. Krewatch. Uni
versity of Maryland agricultural
engineer Ninety percent have no
fire extinguishers, and 81 percent
nave no ladders for reaching build
ing roofs.
It's time the individual property
owners gave some serious thought
to where he would stand in case
of fire, says Krewatch. Preventive
measures to reduce the chances
Of fire ever breaking out are equal
~ important, he adds.
Now is a good time to get fire
prevention conscious" the engi-
neer says, because a few of the
musts in fire prevention are more
apparent during cold winter
months. Faulty chimneys start
fires. Careless operators use oil or
gasoline to start fires and get into
trouble. Children, confined to the
house and looking for activity, may
be more likely to play with
matches. Smoking rules in farm
buildings may be relaxed during
cold weather. Cleaning is done in
doors with gasoline Poor electri-
cal wiring is overloaded with

Clearly, the various probing COM

enact legislation that will protect
the people from such unnecessary

upon them in the past year Con-
sidering all the circumstances, this

power group and many others.
However, the most powerful group
of all is the union labor group.
This is the group headed by the
real politicians of the AFL-CIO
combination, of which Mr. Walter
Reuther is the chief. Over a broad
cast five nights a week it is pro-
claimed that they represent 49,
100000 men and women of the ALL
CIO-your friends and neighbors,
struggling to make America free
and strong" OF course, that sounds
very noble, indeed. The trouble is
it just is not true.
Is Is
This group is powerful enough
but not in the least unselfish. On
the contrary, they are led by self
ish and self-seeking men who are
paid very large salaries and have
extremely expansive expense ac-
counts" They are the real DULLES
of Congress. They constitute the
group-particularly Mr.. Reuther-
which put the AFL-CIO into poll
tics and put up the money (col-
lected from their followers) to pay
for the political propaganda and
purposes for which they aim. 1t is
amazing how much they have been
able to accomplish politically in
the last fifteen years.
The leaders of this group Sc
| cured the enactment of the Wagner
Act in the first Roosevelt term
and from then on dominated the
! Democratic party and the Demo
cratic administrations. During the
Roosevelt-Truman regime they ran
in and out of the White House as
though they owned it. Members of
Congress covered under their
threats and they were able to pass
or prevent passage of any legisla-
ton they favored or opposed, right
up to the time of the Taft-Hartley
Act, which nothing but the power
and personality of the late Senator
Taft, backed by an aroused public
sentiment, made possible.
In the coming session labor legis-
lation is bound to loom large. 1t
will be one of the main issues with
which the Administration will have
to deal 1t is one in which the citi-
zens of the country have great
stake. The time has arrived when
it can no longer be showed under
the rug The corruption exposed
by the Mcclellan committee has
really shocked the people gener-
ally. The Kohler strike in Wiscon-
sin, with its violence, bloodshed
and destruction of life and prop
erty, is still going on in its fourth
year and is one of the worst ex-
hibitions of labor-union irrespon-
sibility in the history of the coun-
try The New York strike of the
Benevolent Association of Motor
men was in complete defiance of
law, order and the constitution.
Other strikes are pending or in
progress. There has been great
damage to health, private and pub
lie property and human dignity
For a while in New York chaos pre-
vailed and neither the Mayor of
the city nor the Governor of the
State seemed adequate to cope
with the situation.

MANY farm SHAckS May
SOON DISAPPEAR; USDA EASES
HOUSING LOAN RESTRICTIONS

Many farm shacks may soon dis
appear as the stepped-up farm
housing loan program of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture gets
underway.
AS an anti-reccssion move, the
Departments Farmers Home Ad-
ministration is making it easier
for farm owners, now living in I'M
satisfactory dwellings,, to obtain
loans to provide adequate housing
for their families.
A farm owner who produces at
least $4OO worth of products for
sale or home use may now quality
for housing loan from the Farm
ers Home, provided he meets other
standard eligibility requirements,
including inability to obtain ade-
quate credit elsewhere. Formerly
an eligible applicant had to own
a farm that produced a more sub
stantial part of the operators an
nual cash income.
Loans may be obtained to build,
improve, or repair farm homes and
other essential farm buildings, as
we'll as to provide water for the
farmstead and household. The rate
of interest is four percent, and the
repayment period 33 years.
Last year the Farmers Home
made loans to Ill colored farm
families to build, repair, or mod
ernize their homes. And since es-
tablishment of the agency 81 years
ago, more than 10000 colored
families have not only received
loans to provide themselves with
| better homes, but also to buy,
enlarge, or improve farms of their
own. .7
Typical of the f: rmers who have
received such loans in recent years
is Percy Everson of Disputanta,
Va. He obtained a loan two years
ago to build a modern eight-room
house for his family of seven, dig
deepwell, build barn, and fence
and improve his pastures.
The broken-down house out of
which the family moved is now
being used for the storage of hay
for their beef cattle and two milk
cows. The tumbledown old house
stands in the backyard of their at
tractive white Cape Cod bungalow.
Mr.. Everson, a 36-year-old vet
eran of World War II, farmed with
his father before he went off to
serve in Europe with a chemical
warfare unit. But upon his re-
turn to his wife and oldest child in
1916, he started out on his own as
a sharecropper. During evenings
he went to school to learn more
about farming.
Within two years, the Eversons
managed by careful planning to

Texas Reduces
May Allowable

Austin - Texas will retain its
S-day allowables producing pattern
in May and thereby further reduce
its allowable by an additional A.
SGT barrels daily.
The reduction results from one
less calendar day in the month Of
May.
Under the May schedule, the al
lowable will average 2,394,537 bar
rels daily.
Some encouragement for produc-
ers came from action of purchasers
who sought additional amounts OF
crude for the May period. STAN
dard of Texas told the Railroad
Commission that it must purchase
at least 1000 barrels a day for
each day less than 13 set by the
commission.
Sun Oil Co. disclosed it is with
drawing from storage and Indiana
Oil Purchasing Co. and Magnolia
Petroleum Co. predicted they will
have less than desirable working
levels by the end of May. Sinclair
also told the regulatory body that
it is running on minimum inven-
tory.
Only two companies - Gulf and
Continental - requested the 8-day
pattern. One additional day was
requested by Cities Service, Hum
BILE, Phillips and Sun. Requests
for 10 days came from Indiana Oil
Purchasing, Magnolia, Sinclair and
Shell. Standard of Texas requested

Soso Field of Jasper County.
Testing perforations 15,247-256
feet, drill stem test was run using
5/8-inch top and 1I4-inch bottom
chokes. The well flowed at the
rate of 528 barrels 37.6-gravity oil
plus Is per cent BS&W per day
with $50 pounds flowing pressure.
On latest test, of 10 hour dura-
ton, the well flowed at the daily
rate of APT barrels fluid per day
through 5I16-inch choke with $50
pounds flowing tubing pressure.
The content of BS&W had declined
to 8 per cent.
The current tests are opposite
the deepest and thickest oil pay
encountered in the Cotton Valley
in the deep well. Oil sand was log
ged in the section at 15,233-257
feet. Two other sands of the Cot
ton Valley also carried good oil
show at 15,189-198 and 15,2O8-228
feet.
Upon completion of tests in the
Cotton Valley section, further test
ing is scheduled of numerous sands
encountered in the Hosston forma-
ton. While the exact amount of oil
sand in the well is not known, over
500 feet of sand carried show.
Discovery of commercial oil pro-
duction in the salt basin area of
Mississippi will add a new and
deeper horizon to the numerous
prospects lying within the region.
Gulf, as operator of the $3.50
Field unit, drilled the we'll to depth
of 1000 feet. After the deepest
zones failed to carry oil shows, hole
was plugged back and cased to 49,
