Threat To Liberty

One of the major goats of the
Independent Cattleman's Association
which is newly formed in Cherokee
County is to thwart efforts to pass
land-use legislation, land use and
national zoning have not yet
appeared as major issues on the
notional politico! scene, yet they,
more than most issues now under
discussion, threaten the lifestyle of
the rural American.
One of the greatest sources of
pride to the rural American has been
the ownership of a plot of ground he
calls his farm or ranch, however large
or small The management of that
plat has been left to the owner's
discretion. He con odd improvements
at will, build barns, form it, use it for
pasture, grow hoy, or whatever else
he deems best from year to year.
Proposed land use legislation will
interfere with these freedoms.
Special permission will be required
before o farmer can build a
Ultimately, each land owner, rurol or
urban, wtll be told specifically what
use he must make of his property.
National zoning as hbs been
proposed in some governmental
circles would categorize land accord-,
ing to its optimum use. if the
responsible governmental agencf
said, "this- land,woe|d=b«'best used
as a residential property," then the1
owner would not be allowed to grow
hoy or otherwise moke use of the
land, except that use for which it was
zoned.
Land is o limited resource. It
cannot be manufactured. As
America's population grows, it will
seem advisable to make sure the best
use possible is made of each acre.
But to do so at the risk of losing the
liberties of ownership is unthinkable.
For liberty is better than life itself.

Retirement Increase Is Asked
Retired state employees
heard Rep Emmett H
Whitehead promise to seek
legislation which would
permit them to get
increased retirement bene-
fits in a meeting Thursday
at Citizens State Bank
Community room of the
facility was filled to over-
flowing with interested
persons
"This is a constitutional
issue." he explained, "but
in the last session, the
legislature was given some
leeway in expending
certain actuary funds."
Retired persons, con-
cerning with rising costs of
living on a fixed budget,
asked his assitance for
increased payments.
"You can be assured that
I will seek a solution to
your financial squeeze, but
it must be done within the
framework of maintaining
an aetuarily sound fund for
the future." he said.

Farming
Today
with
Johnnie McKar
Dr Harry German,
nutritionist for Texas
Farm Products Company
in Nacogdoches, will be the
speaker for the regular
meeting of the Cherokee
County Livestockmen's
Association Tuesday.
August 24. The meeting will
be at 7:30 p.m. in the
Community room of the
REA building, 3'j miles
north of Rusk on highwav
69
Dr German will discuss
what happens to forage
after the cow eats it, and
the relationship the quality
of the forage has in this
process
This will be sort of a
followup to last month's
program when John Box.
State Extension
Agronomist talked about
how plants'take up fertili-
zer nutrients, what they
are used for. and how these
are related to quality for-
age production
All interested persons
are invited to attend this
program and wives are
especially welcome.
More and more
producers are going to the
big round bales; but some
of the bales I see in the
fields may be cause for
concern. You wonder about
those bales that begin to
"squat" before they get
dried out good First "of all.
some of them may not
weigh over 800-900 pounds
Secondly, if they are not
rolled tight enough, water
may penetrate and damage
the bale These light bales
can be expensive. Say it
costs $11 to get the bale' put
up and $1 to get it moved. If
the bale weighs 900 pounds
this would be equivalent to
15 sixty pound bales and
would cost 80 cents per
bale. However, if the baled
weighs 1200 pounds it would
be equivalent to 20 sixty
pound bales and would cost
you 60 cents per bale.
Also, I see quite a few of
these large round bales
stacked under trees and
some stacked touching
other bales. Hay stacked
under trees are likely to
deteriorate more than
those in the open because
they don't get as much sun
and air movement to dry
them out following a rain.
Bales stacked to close
together often trap water
between them and sun and
air cannot get to these
bales to dry them out.
These big round bales
should keep better if you
put them on a well drained
open area and leave
enough room between
bales for drainage and air
movement.
Manuel Aguilar,
Executive Director of the
Cherokee County ASCS
says that August 23 through
September 3 has been
designated as the signup
period for fall conservation
practices.
Practices will incude
planting permanent
pastures, overseeding
pastures with legumes, and
application of limestone (a
current soil test will be
required.)
Hay for the Cherokee
County hay show will be
accepted from Cherokee
County producers the
month of September at the
County Agricultural
Extension office in the
Courthouse Annex in Rusk.
Quality hay will be
stressed.
