PlantForVictory Week
PlantforVictory Week is now being observed in
Texas after Governor Coke Stevenson issued a proclamation
to that effect for March 1 7
The Governor asserted that the foodforfrcedom
program depends largely on what is done at planting
Mtimo and pointed out that Tcxa3 farmers had been
called upon l > y federal officials to produce still more
food than was originally estimated
The farmers are being called on to produce more
than they pledged when the foodforfrcedom program
was inaugurated Stevenson declared
Men in the armed services workers in our factories
and the American people as a whole need plenty
of proper food if they are to fight on to victory
Therefore this week was set aside to sow the seeds
Jor the needed harvest and to stress the deadly seriousness
of the job confronting not only farmers but
all American citizens
It has been said that food will win the war and
write the peace so the importance of agricultures effort
in the battle cannot be overplayed
To make their food raising a success planters must
have good seed and although there is not now a scarcity
of such it should be carefully planted and handled
so as not to lose any The county agent is cooperating
in the movement and in the observance of this week
Tjy issuing instructions for planting cultivating and
harvesting vital vegetable crops Swisher county agricultural
agencies such as the USDA War Board the
liomc demonstration agent and others will assist in
the campaign hereIn
connection with the PlantForVictory program
President Roosevelt and Secretary of Agriculture will
present a nationwide radio broadcast on Monday night
March 9
Minute Editorial
The greatest danger that this country faces today
is that too many of its citizens will fail to take the task
of national defense seriously enough With the example
of Pearl Harbor still fresh before us we may experience
on a bigger scale because of our lethargy other
greater Pearl Harbors
Speaking of being deprived of tires for his car a
local driver said There is a lot of things worse than
Jiaving to walk to work It is something to live in n
country in which four out of five people can own a
car even though for the time being they cant drive it
Owners of garages and automobile sales agencies
Jknow in a measure how the livery stable owners felt
> a lew years backwhen the automobile forced them
nil into liquidation
When it comes to a choice between two evils most
men choose the one that has the most money in it

Purchase Defense
Bonds Stamps
Till It Hurts
BY GEORGE PECK
Perhaps one of the greatest examples
of the difference between
the democratic and totalitarian
concepts of government is the diametrically
opposed methods which
the two use to raise money
In a totalitarian state the dictator
whether his name be Hitler
or Mussolini looks over the cash
position of the banks the insurance
companies the business corporations
and the individuals and
tells them just how many government
bonds they must buy
In a democratic state the government
when it finds it necessary
to raise money appeals to
the thrift the business acumen
and the patriotism of the banker
the business executive and the individual
There is no compulsion
no coercion Each is allowed to
determine whether he should invest
or not and in what amount
America being a democratic
State and now finding itself badly
in need of funds with which to
finance the war and defense is
appealing to the American people
to buy defense savings and
defense savings bonds In doing
so it is calling for voluntary purchasersThese stamps and bonds are on
sale at all banks post offices and
at many retail stores The Government
puts forth a number of
sound sales arguments as to why
these bonds should be purchased
Thrift and patriotism are two of
these and either in itself should
be sufficient to induce Americans
to buy these bonds
The strongest argument advanced
however and the one that
should impel even the hardest
boiled Shylock to take the elastic
off his bank roll is that buying
these bonds will help to maintain
the American Way
The proceeds of the sale of
these bonds are being used to
build tanks bombers ships guns
and ammunition and other articles
of war to make America
strong We didnt start this war
it was thrust upon us but we
arc going to finish it
We want to keep America a

Awake America
We re In A Fight
To The Finish
BY FRANK DIXON
The greatest peril that faces this
country today in my opinion is
the apparent inability of the country
as a whole to realize wc arc
at war that we arc in a war
that may last for several years
and that is going to demand the
last ounce of resource that we
can muster if wc bring it to a
successful conclusion Our danger
lies it seems to me in our feeling
of detachment from the war
Wc look upon it as a thing that
is far away in another part of the
world
Even when the news comes to
scattered localities as it has come
to many that this young man
and that young man of the community
in the armed forces has
lost his life it still does not jar
us from our complacent smugness
We still persist in thinking that
a way will surely be found whereby
the serious consequences of
this war will pass us by Wc sigh
over it and express regret over it
as we read of the account in our
daily newspaper buf after having
finished our paper we fold it up
and with it fold our apprehensions
and our concern with the
inward thought that perhaps tomorrows
news will be better
We read of the vast appropriations
by Congress to carry on the
fight Wc arc not conscious of
their meaning in terms of taxes
and hardship and sacrifice that
these vast expenditures will undoubtedly
bring Wc think and
plan and scheme how we will
manage things to continue on our
usual standard of living how we
will forestall the efforts at rationing
and conservation of certain
items that our pleasant and even
tenor of life will not be interrupted
and that we shall not be
denied any of the things that wc
have been used to in happier
normal times
All this shrinking from reality
this desire to escape the unpleasant
is perhaps the natural result
of the soft and pampered life to
which we of this country have
become accustomed
We cannot and it is idle folly
to deceive ourselves we cannot
continue to vacillate between the
desire to win tne war and the
desire to cling to the flesh pots
whose savor has become so sweet
to our nostrils We cannot continue
to halt between two opinions We
have to decide that wc will or
wo wont go all out to win the
warThere
There is going to be an opportunity
to measure the patriotism
of many in the manner in wliich
they cooperate with the rationing
program whether it is done freely
and in the spirit of the program
or whether effort is made
to evade or to chisel One maybe
all out for America in his
speech but what the country
needs now and is going to have
to have is that every one be all
out in his actions and in the
letter and spirit of his cooperationWeve got to wake up and realize
that the great fight that is
being put up by General Mac
Arthur in the Philippines a fight
that history will never cease to
honor is but typical of the less
apparent and less dramatic fight
that America is putting up now
today this very hour
Lets not forget that America
needs our help now the fullest
measure that we are able to give
in the most willing manner that
wc are able to give it

Dont throw away your empty toothpaste shaving
cream or other tubes as the tin of which they are
made is vital for defense The government allocated
the tin in each and turns it into war machinery Inf
Tulia you may take your empty tubes to the Crawfotdy
Pharmacy where W C Scrap Crawford will see that
they are delivered to the proper place
One night last week the R E Lumpkins family
had an individual blackout As a feed grinder was leav J
ing their place it broke the electric wire as it went
under the line leaving the house in total darkness and
the family without a drop of coal oil The swift work
of the REA lineman in repairing the line the next
morning was greatly appreciated
O H Heard says he believes that if California can
just protect the West coast from Japanese raids fopi

F F A and 4H Club boys of Swisher County are
to be commended for their splendid work in developing
outstanding individuals while feeding out beef
calves hogs and sheep for the Annual Swisher County
Livestock Show here Friday and Saturday The
Herald staff joins these club boys in welcoming visitors
and friends to Tulia for the show and wo extend
congratulations to these boys for the interest they hiKw
taken to make this the largest show from the standpoint
of number ever held in the county
In this issue of the Herald the United States Department
of Agriculture War Board is stressing Plant
for Victory Week which has been designated as the
week of March 1 to 7 This date is a little early for
planting gardens and sorghum crops in this area but
the week will serve to remind the folks in this area of
the necessity for planting Victory gardens from
which they should can as much of the foods as possible
for home consumption this Summer Farmers are
being reminded to plant as many of the crops vital to
defense as their allotted acreage and facilities for cultivating
and harvesting will allow Everyone who lives
in town and has a small garden plot should by all
means have a garden this Summer Now is the time to
prepare the ground Good Friday comes April 3
just a short 4 weeks off
Work is progressing on new street markers for
Tulia A marker will be placed on a lot abutting each V
street intersection in the residential section of the cltyf
The markets are made of pine four by fours and will
be painted white with the street names lettered on in
black This project is sponsored by the Tulia Kiwanis
Club ana aided financially by the City Commission
Maybe when these new markers have been
erected Grady Briggs will be correctly informed that
lie does not live on Easy Street
Plans for another worthwhile project of the Tulia
Kiwanis Club is also progressing rapidly according to
C C Northcutt who is chairman of a committee to
arrange for turning the Community Building into n
modern City Auditorium The Kiwanis Club has been j
given charge of the present building and plans ha eJ
been drawn for flooring ceiling and walling the build
ing together with putting in a stage dressing rooms
toilets and other improvements that will cost approximately
3000 The City Commission has pledged 750
toward completing the building and the balance will
probably be raised by public subscription This is a
worthwhile project and one wliich everyone in the
county will be able to enjoy once it is completed Those
who wish to contribute a dollar or even five or ten
dollars toward the completion of this building to be
used by the rural communities as well as for lo
activities are requested to mail your contributions
