Mr. Vinson received practical
instruction on poultry diseases
rind flock management problems
from professionally trained staff
members of Dr. Salsbury's Lab-
oratories, producers of poultry
at.d livestock medicines. He at-
tended lectures, clinical discus-
sions and laboratory demonstra-
tions relating to such subjects as
Anatomy of Poultry, Poul-

Wholesale Food
Prices in Sharp
Downward Plunge
Wheat, corn and oats prices
plunged downward for the sec-
ond straight day on the Chicago
Board of Trade today, while but-
ter and eggs dropped sharply in
what may become a general de-
cline in wholesale food prices.
Prices of all grain futures were
off the full limits—10 cults for
wheat, eight cents for corn and
six cents for oats. Prices on the
i Minneapolis and Kansas City
grain exchanges followed.
Despite the recent downward
trend on the big exchanges, there
still was only scant indication
that the family grocery bill was
going down.
September corn closed today
at S2.46 a bushel, compared with
yesterday's closing price of $2.54,
and with the all-time high erf
$2.653t a bushel set only four
days ago.
May wheat futures plunged the
full 10-cent limit on the Chicago
Board of Trade, falling to $2.56%
per bushel. Corn dropped its
eight-cent limit to $2.46. Four
days ago it was an all-time high
of $2.65%.
July wheat fell the limit to
$2.34%, and May oats dropped
the six-cent limit to $1.01%, and
lard futures also fell the twd-cent
limit.
The declines on the mercantile
exchange followed the announce-
ment by the Board of Governors
of the Mercantile Exchange that
margins would be increased Mon-
day.

A. & M. Expert
Advises Planting
Winter Legumes
Called Biggest
Step in 7-Point
Cotton Program
COLLEGE STATION, Sept. 25
—"Feed the land and fatten the
crops."
That's a slogan that E. A. Mil-
ler, Extension agronomist of
Texas A. and M. College, would
like to see in operation on every
farm in Texas.
Miller brings the slogan to at-
tention now because it's time to
"feed the land" with winter le-
gumes, which help furnish soil
fertility that fattens the crops-
Winter legumes can be planted,
says Miller, as soon as there is
enough moisture in the soil to
work it.
Legume seed that has been in-
oculated has produced the best
crop of green manure. Miller
says proper seed inoculation is a
necessary phase of legume-grow-
ing, if the producer wants to get
the mos't benefit from his winter
cover crop. Fertilization is just
as necessary, says the agronomist,
in areas where soils and rainfall
will make good use of the fertili-
zer. On the better types of Texas
soils Miller recommends 200 to
400 pounds of .20 percent super-
phosphate per acre, or its equiva-
lent, while on light, sandy soils
and old fields, it will take 300
to 400 pounds 0-14-7 commercial
fertilizer per acre to get the job
done. In the timbered section of
East Texas, the 0-14-7 applica-
tion is especially important.
To give farmers an idea of what
they can expect in the way of
increased yields through plant-
ing winter legumes, Miller quotes
some results.chalked up by Texas
A. and M. College Agricultural
Experiment Substations. Fertiliz-
ed and inoculated hairy vetch in-
creased the yield of cotton more
than 100 pounds per acre on
sandy land at experiment sub-
stations at Nacogdoches and Ty-
ler. At the Temple Experiment
Substation, cotton following hu-
bam sweet clover which was
harvested for seed and then turn-
ed under, made a five-year ave-
rage of 315 pounds of lint, com-
pared with 165 pounds on land
where cotton was grown contin-
uously without clovers. Losses
from cotton root rot were also
greatly reduced by the clover.
Miller labels winter legume
growing one of the biggest steps
in the current Seven Step Cotton
Program which thousands of
farmers are carrying on in Texas.
The Seven Step program, a bal-
anced cotton farming plan, in-
cludes "soil improvement," and
inoculated, fertilized legumes,
turned under preceding cash
crops, is a money-making soil
improvement step.
The agronomist .is urging Tex-
as farmers to obtain their legume
seed, fertilizer and inoculant and
be ready for legume planting
when soil moisture permits.

Texas Governor
Sets Travel Record
AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 23 (UP)—
Gov. Beauford H. Jester set a new
travel record for a Texas gover-
nor today when he returned from
one air trip merely to change
planes at Austin Airport and go
off on another.
Returning from participating in
the opening of the West Texas
Exposition at San Angelo, he was
met at the airport by Sen. Buster
Brown of Temple, with whom he
flew to Temple to take part in
-he opening of a fair and rodeo.
Elmer Beene, District Coopera-
tor of the Limestone-Falls Con-
servation District, whose farm is
in the Fort Parker Conservation
Group 3 miles west of Groesbeck,
is planting Austrian Winter peas
this week. The peas were broad-
cast on corn land and disk under.
Bacteria Nitrogen Noculant was
spread on the peas just before
planting. The peas will protect
the soil from erosion and will be
turned under next spring as a le-
gume green manure crop, after
they reach a growth of about
knee high to increase the produc-
tivity of the soil.
J. B. McGilvary, whose farm is
in the Therrell Group, 3 miles
southwest from Groesbeck, is
building terraces with iarm trac-
tor and plows. His cropping was
arranged so that corn would be
planted where terraces would be
constructed this summer.
A coordinated conservation pro-
gram is being installed on his
farm which includes a combina-
tion of conservation practices
such as: terracing, planting of
corn crops, crop rotation, pasture
development, proper stocking,
turning under all crop residue,
and constructing of farm ponds.
Mr. McGilvary is doing a good
job of fitting this program in
with his regular farming prac-
tices.

PRICES:
Out of Hand
Stratospheric I!. 8. rood prices
were taking on an International
flavor.
No matter what the opinion of the
average consumer who cringed ev-
ery time he thought of buying a
pound of butter or meat, it wns
becoming clear to everyone that
i prices" at home were irrevocably
linked with American foreign policy
and this nation's effort to feed the
starving world.
Sharply illustrating that fact was
a department' of agriculture an-
nouncement that 40 per cent of the
salable U. S. wheat crop would be
exported this year. The resulting
relative scarcity of wheat, bou-
pled with a shortage of corn, was
expected to send prices still higher.
Best guess was that prices of staple
groceries—butter, milk, eggs, meat
and bread—would continue to climb
for at least six months.
Problem facing the U. S. pov-
ernment was how to force priccs
down at home and still send
enough food abroad to feed hun-
ger-ridden peoples.
On the surface, it looked like the
only answer could be found in the
old and impossible gag: Repeal the
law of supply and demand. Root
of the trouble was the fact lUat
world-wide demand is greater than
even the enormous American sup-
ply.
Government action took several
different tacks:
1 Americans were asked to eat
• less meat voluntarily, and also
to offer as much buyers' resistance
as they could to high prices.
^ Department of justice asked for
4- reports on any attempts at price
fixing.
3 Commodities Exchange author-
ity launched a pressure cam-
paign to cut down grain specula-
tions.
No one was being optimistic about
the possible results.
U. N. ASSEMBLY:
Next Hope
It might have boon second-gucss-
ing when John Foster Dulles, IT. S.
delegate to the U. N. general assem-
bly. said; "It was never expected
that the security council could act
deoisively when great powers were
on opposite sides," but no one could
deny the truth of his statement.
With that in mind, U. S. Secretary
of State George Marshall made
some pointed remarks on the eve of
the opening of the 55-nation United
Nations general assembly.
The general assembly, he indi-
cated, would have to step in with its
trowel to cement the peace, since
the security council had done little
except sling mortar around hap-
hazardly.
Primary task, according to the
U. S. viewpoint, was the protection
of Greek independence and sover-
eignty which is being threatened by
Yugoslavia. Albania and Bulgaria.
To Russia, without mentioning
that nation by name, Marshall is-
sued a pointed challenge: Cooperate
in the United Nations or face an in-
exorable world judgment which
would be beyond the power of veto.
Immediate prospect was that
strained East-West relations might
easily reach—and perhaps pass—a
major crisis during this session of
the U.'N. general assembly.
CONFLICT:
Compromise
W. Stuart Symington, assistant
secretary of war for air, has admit-
ted that U. S. military planners are
face to face with a mental and
financial conflict.
On the one hand, ho told the first
annual convention of the Air Force
association, the need is definitely for
a military force "certain to be ade-
quate" for any emergency, while on
the other hand it is realized that
the American economy could not'
stand the burden of supporting such
a force,
Only alternative is compromise,
he said. "We must face the con-
stant compromise between what
military authority considers neces-
sary on the basis of maximum se-
curity and what is finally decidcd
as the minimum requirement on the
basis of calculated risk."
There is, of course, a "reasonable
minimum" below which the U. S"
could not go without endangering
its security, Symington observed.
For the air force that minimum
would be "a 70 group force (400,000
officers and men) in Instant readi-
ness." To date, that minimum has
not yet been achieved.

NEW FRONTIER:

With spirited background music
consisting alternately cf Slovene folk
songs and Communist party ballads,
Yugoslav troops moved up to the
new provisional Italian - Yugoslav
frontier as the Italian peace treaty
went into effect.
There was no trouble as Marshal
Tito's soldiers advanced into the
former Italian territory ceded to
Yugoslavia under the treaty. Brit-
tish-American forces which had

TROUBLE ALREADY
A few hours after the Italian
peace treaty became effective,
Yugoslav troops made an at-
tempt to cross the frontier be-
tween Yugoslavia and the new
free state of Trieste. Ameriean
forces at the outpost brought up
a tank and fired a warning burst
from a machine gun. The "in-
vading" soldiers fell back. Both
sides indicated they would ask

could go where.

Orderliness of the operation was

after a day of fierce clashes between
| Italian and Yugoslav partisans in
Trieste.
Allied forces now were stationed
in a U.N.-administered free terri-
tory, and on the new frontier,

INNOCENT:
One Million Dead
Churned before an American
court ii. Nuremberg, Germany, with
killing more than a million persons,
23 former Nazi SS and gestapo men
pleaded innocent.
At least two of the accuscd war
criminals took the tremendous'
charge to heart: One, a former SS
brigadier general, was seized with
an attack of shaking palsy and had
to leave the courtroom; the other,
an SS coloncl, fell to the floor in an
epileptic fit.
In a bitter echo of the war, the
prosecution charged the men with
killing Jews, Gypsies, Russians and
others they considered to be racially
inferior to themselves.
One of the defendants, Maj. Gen.
Olto Ohlendorf, previously had ad-
mitted being responsible for the
deaths of 90,000 persons, but to the
court's formal charge he entered a
plea of not guilty.
TYPHOON:
Japan Hit j
When anything happens to Japan,
it happens in a big way, and the
typhoon rains which inundated 200
miles of flatlands north of Tokyo
were no exception.
First reports by American mili-
tary government authorities told
that 2,384 Japanese were dead or
missing in two of six prefectures
hit by the gigantic storm.
More than 40,000 homes were re-
ported flooded or destroyed, and two
medium-sized towns virtually were
wiped out.
HOME BUILDING:
Shows Increase
Home building activity in the
United States reached a new high
level for 1947 in August, according
to a survey by the bureau of labor
statistics, which reported that 524,*
100 homes were placed under con-
struction in the first eight months of
the year. That is 56,000 more than
were recorded in the same period of
i940. Home building was reported to
have increased in virtually every
part of the country.
PRE-CAMPyUGN:
Note Marshall
Democrats, seeking an antidote
for the Republican-inspired "Eisen-
hower for president" boom, are be-
ginning to whisper the name of
George Catlett Marshall in connec-
tion with the vice-presidency.
. The wartime chief-of-staff, now
secretary of state, is being seriously
considered by "a lot of important"
Democratic leaders as a potential
vice-presidential candidate, accord-
ing to Gael Sullivan, acting national
chairman of the Democrats.
Argument being advanced in his
behalf is that by next June Ameri-
can foreign relations will have
reached such a state that the people
will demand an executive official of
his^experience.
More practical problem facing the
Democrats now, however, is the
election of a national chairman to
succeed Postmaster General Robert
Hannegan when the national com-
mittee meets in Washington in Octo-
ber. Hannegan has not yet resigned,
but is expectcd to do so.
GOLD SALE:
Last Rabbit?
Great Britain, appearing almost
tragic in its desperate efforts to
stave off ruin, pulled what might
Have been her last rabbit out of
the hat by dipping into her gold re-
serve and selling 80 million dollars
of it to the U. S. for dollars.
That move came just two weeks
after Foreign Secretary Ernest Bev-
in came out with what now is con-
sidered his pathological suggestion
thai the U. S. should redistribute the
gold In Fort Knox.
The gold sold to this country was
part of Britain's 2.4-billion-dollar
reserve, and the dollars obtained
from its sale would be used In a
'ast-ditch effort to cover rising Brit- ■
ish expenditures. .
Sale of part of Britain's gold re-
serve emphasized, possibly more
than any other action could have
done, the urgency with which the
government is reducing dollar im-
ports and boosting exports in an ef-
fort to regain economic stability.

Mule Market
Shows Slump
MEMPHIS, Tenn.. Sept. 24 —
(UP) — High prices have made,
the poor farmer so rich that he
balks at buying his old mule pals.
Memphis is the largest mule
market in the world but business
this season is the worst since
1934. A mule that sold for $400
in 1936 brings about $250 now.
"But the farmer always re-
turns to the mule when his
pocketbook gets tight," said Col.
Mr. Meals, shifting his 330 pounds
around until he was entirely in >
the shade.
Meals, the nation's most famous
auctioneer, had just completed
his day's chores at Owen Bro-
thers Horse and Mule Commis-
sion Co. Mule buyers from all
>ver the south stood about lean-
ing on their long canes as he
'alked. |f
"The farmer is getting 31 Vi
cents a pound for hogs, 35 to 75
cents for beef and $2.15 for a
bushel of wheat," Meals said.
"Why prices ain't been that high
in 2,000 years."
And so the farmer, who for-
merly depended on a stout pair I
of mulesi thinks nothing of put-
ting out $2,528 for a ringside
tractor or $750 for a junior job.
"But come a depression and
they'll all be running back to
their mules," the Colonel predict-
ed. "You'll see. Mules and chil-
dren. We'll always have them
with us."

Current prospects of an above-

Corn and soybeans are competi-

soybean meal can reduce the quan-
tity of corn needed to bring a hog to
