 "The Mola1la River in Oregon, says the Dallas Star Post is like many peaceful streams that under storm conditions go on rampage At horseshoe turn in it's course it has been eating away valuable farm land on it's periodic sprees, the farmers affected organized the Molalla River District improvement Co, Inc. Following the current practices aid was sought from Great White Father This led to the US Corps of Army Engineers. Then the fun started.
 Dissatisfied with the engineers estimate of $18800O for flood control improvement in addition to erosion elimination, to be carried out at some u1 certain future date, the farmers decided to start do 1t yourself project They borrowed tractor last fall and in two weeks cut new 5OO-foot-long channel for the river to bypass the 18O0-foo horse shoe It has controlled the erosion The cost was some $1 500 compared with an estimated $188,000 for the more extensive government project.

Death Takes Sam Rayburn
BY Douslas coznsll

BOWMAN, Tex. M Sam Ray
 burn, who served longer as Hous' Speaker than any man, died yes
 terday in the home town he loved Cancer and its complication
 caused his death. He would have been 80 on Jan. 6. The White House was notified immediately. So was Rep. John w. Mccormack of Massachusetts the Democratic Leader of the House.
 Mccormack was the man Ray burn chose to serve temporarily as Speaker when INT. Sam" had to leave Congress before 1t closed because of what he called ls.15sb5s- go.
 But even then, his doctor be- lieves, he knew he had cancer.
 The physician, pr. Joe Risser, and members of the Speakers $ family and staff stood by the bedside in Risser Hospital as Ray burn faded away.
 "It was a very easy death for very great man." pr. Risser told reporters,
 Asked about the immediate cause of death, Risser said simply that: "He just quit breathing"
 Then, in more formal language. he put it this way:
 At $40 this morning MT. Sam passed away. He died quietly. He showed no evidence of pain lines in the face. He seemed to be as one in sleep"
 Rayburn had been unconscious for about 36 hours before his death. The doctor and family had spent two near-sleepless nights at the hospital.
 Authorities here said the fu- neral will be at l:30 pm. Satur- day at the First Baptist Chs.xel, In Boahaxn.
 The burial will be in the {arnil, plot perhsps three-quarters Of
 mile from the center of this north
 ern Texas town Of 1000 w.ser, Raybs1rn was the ontstandini citizen.
 President Kennedy is expected l genera1ly to attend the services.
 The first telephone call iron the little yellow brick hospita'
 after Rayburn died went iron pr. Risser to Kennedy's physi. clan in Washington, pr. Jane' Trayell.
 The sergeant-at-exzms of the House, Zeake Johnson, was told promptly that the man whe wielded the gavel there more thar twice as long as any other was dead, and it was Tor him that the first word of Rayburn's death came out.
 Rayburn was elected Speaker Sept. 16, 194O, after the death oi Speaker William Bankhead. He had served as Speaker evel since, except for the congression. af sessions Of l l947-48 and 1o53-54

@. In a single news broad
cast on television the other
night, I heard two place-names
that baffled me. The first was
in a report on developments in
South Dakota farmlands. The
announcer repeatedly spoke of
the distance between a new
flood control area and a place
he called Peer" Could he have
meant the State capital Pierre?
If so, why didn't he pronounce
it correctly: pee-AIR?
Later on, there was a de-
scription of the recent flood
in West Virginia and the an
nouncer spoke of the raging
waters of the KAN-uh-wah-
River" If he meant the
Kanawha, the pronunciation
surely has changed since the
last time visited that region,
L. P.
A. The first settlers of Pierre
S. D., may have pronounced its
name with a French accent
but precious few natives have
done e. III the years since. The
local pronunciation is PEER

matters, of course, local custom
prevails. Cairo. ILL.,, may spell

Makes His Point

East had a small vocabulary,
but he used it with enough en-
phaSiS to get his point across:
When he signaled for a con-
tinuation he didn't want q
switch.
II West leads q third heart
South is in trouble. He can
ruff the third heart in dummy
but then he can take only one
finesse through the king of
spades. East is sure to get q
trick with the king of spades.
What's more, South still has
his fourth heart to worry
about. If South still has it,
East can lead the queen of
hearts when he is given his
trump trick. If suoth tries to
ruff out his fourth heart be-
fore drawing trumps, West can
step UP with the nine Of spades
to shut out dummy'S ruff. And
if South tries to discard his
fourth heart on a diamond be-
fore drawing trumps West will
ruff the third diamond.
West couldn't see all of this,
but he didn't have to. The i'm
portant thing was that he
didn't have a very good rea-
son for switching to a club
when his partner had asked
for a heart continuation.

Enthusiastically with the nine.
West continued with the ace
Of hearts and East completed
his echo by playing the four.

Agriculture : Life
Blood OF America

Did you know that farming Gre
ates jobs for more than sixteen
million Americans, according to a
recent USDA survey. Four out of
every ten jobs in private employ
ment are related to agriculture.
Farming actually employs more
workers than the steel, automobile
or transportation, and public utili-
ties combined.
Farmers, good customers of in
dustry, spend two and one-half to
three billion dollars yearly On new
equipment. In addition, another
three and one-half billion is spent
to keep the equipment running.
Most vital, and indicative of their
progress, is that farmers use twen-
ty-four billion kilowatt-hours al
electricity or five per cent of the
nations total per year.
Collectively, farmers have more
than eight billion dollars invested
in their industry. But what dc

1882 At-Large
Elections Saw
Democratic Sweep

Not since 1882 have major states
elected their entire congressional
delegations at-large. In that year
four states which lost seats-Ken-
lucky, Minnesota, Missouri and Vir-
ginia-failed to pass redistricting
bills before the 1882 elections. By
the time of the 1884 elections, how
ever, all four sttaes had returned to
election by separate congressional
districts.
Here's how the 1882 elections
turned out:
Kentucky, which previously had
nine Democrats and two Republi-
cans, elected an all-Democratic
nine-member delegation.
Minnesota, with nine Repub-
Leans and one Farm-Labor repre-
sentative in the previous Congress,
returned a split delegation made
up of five Farmer Laborites, three
Republicans and one Democrat.
Missouri replaced IL Demo
Gratis and four Republicans with 13
Democrats.
Virginia elected nine Demo
Gratis to succeed nine Democrats
and one Republican.
Generally, the votes in the five
states reflected pattern of DEM
ocratic congressional victories that
year, which saw the party gain 80
seats in the House of Representa-
tives.

Improved Methods
Save This Farmer
SIG An Acre On
Cotton chopping

Johnson grass no longer keeps
cotton yields low and chopping
costs high on the farm of w. l..
Currie, science teacher and part
time farmer of Oceola, Ark, says
Arkansas District Extension Agent
T. R. Betton.
Taking the advice Of his county
agent, Clarence T. Freeman, five
years ago, Mr.. Currie began using
a chemical weed killer and three
year Observation-Disclosures
cotton rotation in combination to
rid his cotton acreage of Johnson
grass.
AS a result, he no longer has to
have his cotton chopped four times
during crop year at a cost of $40
an acre. Instead, he now has it
chopped only once at q cost of only
$2.75 an acre-a savings of $16.25.
Also the rotation together with
increased applications of fertilizer
have increased his cotton yield
from half a bale of cotton to the
acre to ~ bales. Mr.. Currie esti-
mates this savings on chopping
and his earnings on higher yields
total up to an increased return of
$140 an acre on his cotton.
Mr.. Betton says farmers come
from miles around to observe Mr..
Currie's improved methods of fight
ing johnson grass and of increas-
ing his cotton yield.
In addition to cotton, Mr.. Currie
raises soybeans and small grain on
the 180-farm left to him and his
sisters by their parents. He took
over in 1853.
The farmer is a graduate of
Arkansas A M. & N. College, Pine

a master of science degree at the
University of Arkansas. He is mar
