Texas Congressional mem-
bers, newspaper people and
many personal friends oí Wal-
ter and Ann Hornaday look
forward with great anticipa-
tion to January 1 each year.
Walter Hornaday is the Wash-
ington news correspondent for
Hie Dallas Morning News and
has been around Washington
for a long time. He and his
lovely wife, Ann, live in an
apartment over in Virginia
and have a farm some fifty
miles from Washington in the
Shenandoah Valley.
On January 1 the Horna-
days entertain the Texas
members of Congress, their
newspaper friends and asso-
ciates to a buffet style black -
eyed pea dinner. Ann grows
the black-eyed peas down on
the farm and does an out-
standing job of preparing
them. She serves them with
hushpuppies, slaw and ham,
with fruit cake for dessert. It
is "The" gathering of the year
for many of the Texans in
Washington. In fact, it is be-
coming famous as the meet-
ing: place of the finest food
and finest people—blade-eyed
peas and Texans.
One of my Yankee friends
asked me why people from
the South and Southwest
thought black-eyed peas tast-
ed better on New Year's Day
than at any other time. I ad-
vised him it was not the ques-
tion of them tasting better on
that day, because they are
good any time, but that they
were an especial delicacy on
New Year's Day because those
partaking of them at that
time would experience good
luck the rest of the year. Since
then he has become an ardent
fan of black-eyed peas, and I
think I could sell him on tur-
nip greens if we could work
them in with some other su-
perstition. However, it might
be difficult because pepper
sauce is an unknown ingred-
ient in these parts, and both
turnip greens and black-eyed
peas need pepper sauce to
bring out their full flavor.

the Texas members of Con-
gress, present or past, around

The Agricultural Picture
Several soft spots in the
general economy are causing
many people in official Wash-
ington to awaken to the fact
that the farm difficulties of
the past few years might be
the cause of this trouble. They
are beginning to recognize the
real facts of economic life—
the farmer is not the villain
that he has "been painted so
many times in the past few
years.
Many of these same people
who have continually criti-
cized the farmer as the re-
cipient of government subsidy
are now beginning to realize
that any subsidy received by
the farmer from the govern-
ment is infinitesimal compar-
ed with many other segments
of the economy. Only recently
I was amused at a headline
that appeared in a trade pa-
per of an organization repre-
senting many big manufac-
turers. This organization has
continually criticized and
lambasted the farmers on the
question of subsidy. Yet, it
seemed to have no hesitancy
in headlining a proposition
that the Defense Department
was going to earmark billions
to be spent on defense con-
tracts and, therefore, many of
its members who are engaged
in manufacturing could look
forward to these government
contracts and not be worried
about their economic life.
Some of these defense con-
tract activities would make
the entire farm program look
like ten cents. And it might
be pointed out, that if there
is anything vitally essential
and necessary for the defense
of any country, it is a proper
and sufficient amount of food
and fibér.
The American farmer had
an average income in 1956 of
less than one-half the average
income enjoyed by non-farm
workers. Yet the capital in-
vestment p e r agricultural
worker was one and one-half
times as much as the capital
investment required for em-
ployees i n manufacturing.
Since 1947 the average per
hour return to farm workers
for labor and management
has declined to seventy-eight
cents an hour, while during
the same period the average
wage of industrial workers
has increased to $1.98 per
hour. Net farm income has
declined 31 per cent since
1947, while ,hourly earnings of
industrial workers have in-
creased by 60 per cent, and
corporation dividend pay-
ments are up 85 per cent.
Farmers make up 13.2 per
cent of the total population
of this country, yet receive
only 6.3 per cent of the na-
tional income. Much has been
said about the farmer pricing
his products too high. Facts
and figures just do not sup-
port that argument. The truth
is, that although retail prices
for foods have increased, farm
prices have declined. Today
the average hourly wage of
industrial workers will buy
twice as much food as in 1929.
Let us hope that the year
1958 will produce an answer
to many of the farm problems
that have been so grossly
misunderstood. It will do

SNEAK PLAY—Plunging like an All-American back, this
youngster takes the play away from the professionals of the
National Football League in San Francisco. He's eluding some
other kids to make off with the football. The youthful fans
swarm down on the field whenever a kick bounces out of the
end zone. They keep the ball, provided they can escape the
nolice on duty as well as the other ballhawks.
SayslRSMan
Employers were reminded
today that .their employees
arp entitled to receive two
copies of a "Withholding
Statement," Form W-2, on or
before Friday, Jan. 31.
In making this announce-
ment, Wiley E¡. Davis, of In-
ternal Revenue Service, Pam-
pa, said, "This statement
shows the total wages paid
and the income tax and-so-
cial security tax withheld,' if
any, during the calendar year
of 1957."
Total wages shown on an
employee's W-2 should in-
clude amounts received as
sick pay from his employer,
/ even though no tax has been
withheld on such sick pay.
Sick pay is not required to be
shown separately.
Davis stated that if it be-
comes necessary to correct a
W-2 after it has been given
to an employee, a corrected
statement must be issued and
marked "corrected by employ-
er."

One Military Head
There is much talk in offi-
cial Washington of shifting
the power of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff over to one individual
as a generalissimo over all
the Services for the purpose
of unification. The Congress
thought -that it had unified
the Services several years ago
when it set up the Defense
Department and created a
Secretary of Defense over the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
However, it seems that this
resulted in nothing more than
the creation of another de-
partment in addition to the
three existing military de-
partments, rather than a re-
duction of the military estab-
lishment from three separate
departments to one. This is a
problem that needs early at-
tention in this session of Con-
gress and will probably get it.
