Three Swisher Farmers Employ
Soil Conservation Practices
By RAY CARLTON
Diversion terrace construction lias been completed on the J H
Stephenson farm west of Happy The terrace was planned and in
stalled above an tinprotcctcd field to intercept water from higher
slopes and prevent concentation
and erosion in lower portions of
the field Water will be carried
from the field at nonerosive velocities
and spread over native
grassland
To simulate natural conditions a s
nearly as possible mung beans
hubam clover and high residue producing
crops arc a regular part of
the crop rotation system on the Cor
lis Currio farm Properly managed
vegetation offers surface protection
and increases absorbtion and water

Farmers Warned
To Watch For
Grassliop
Urgent warnings of grasshopper
Infestations have been issued
by area agriculturists Entomologists
say that the hoppers arc hatched
along bar ditches and around
the edges of fields
They say that the small hoppers
can be successfully poisoned at this
stageWatch
Watch for the hatch areas and
start poisoning before the hoppers
start to migrate they warn Good
poisons to use in the control of
grasshoppers are aldrin toxaphene
and cholorodane The packages containing
the above poisons usually
give the dosage per acre for the control
of hoppers but if anyone is in
doubt on the mixing of the poison
for spraying he should contact his
county agent
The liquid poison is said to be
comparatively inexpensive when its
effectiveness is considered
Time to start on grasshoppers is
when they are still in the hatch areas
and before they start to migrate
Look over your place and watch
for the hatch and this might save
you some crop a little later on in
the summer the entomologists
warn
The hoppers will continue to be a
menace throughout the summer and
fallvSome will destroy young wheat
as it comes up in the fall
Secret of success is early control

Tulia Lutherans To Observe
Augsburg Confession Anniversary
Lutherans the world over will observe Satinday as the 425 anniversary
of their chief confession of faith the Augsburg Confession
In their regular service this Sunday Christ Lutheran Church of Tulia
will commemorate this historic
event with special Reformation
hymns prayers and through the
sermon
Only 13 years after Martin Luther
struck the hamnm lows heard
throughout the world us i posted
his famous 95 Theses Charles V
then emperor of the Holy Roman
Empire in 1530 ordered the followers
of the great Reformer to present
before his court and the delegates
of the Vatican a statement of the
basic teachings of the new protestant
movement Charles intention
was to use this document as an excuse
to send Luther and his closest
followers to their deaths at the
stake Under Gods grace however
he was not able to carry out this
scheme But the document which the
first Protestants presented to the
emperor still remains as a most
Christian statement of the doctrines
of the Holy Scriptures
Today it is still regarded by the
70 million Lutherans of the Amer
icas Europe Asia Africa and Australia
as the clearest statement of
the evangelical teachings of the Bible
The Augsburg Confession is not
regarded as a substitute or addition
to the Bible in any way of course
but simply as an explanation of certain
controverted doctrines which
the early Lutherans had been asked
to defend on the basis of Scripture

Danger Ahead Congressmen Warn
The great blow to the farm economy
is yet ahead unless Congress
repeals the Administrations
flexible price support program
Thnt was the central theme of
the majority report of the U S
House of Representatives Agriculture
Committee to House members
It recommended the restoration
of 00 per cent parity price
supports from the present 75 percent
of parity to 80 per cent
Lower supports mean a drift
back toward the uneconomical balance
that pauperized agriculture
in America in the years ahead of
the great depression and which
in other nations has institutionalized
a peasant class on the land
the report said
The committee voted 23 to 1 to
kill flexible price supports and reinstate
firm levels at 00 per cent
The philosophy behind the flexible
program Is fraught with danger
to the whole economy the
committee stated It explained that
this philosophy is to let farm
prices fall so low that n sufficient
number of farmers find their op
pcratlons so unprofitable that production
is reduced and supplies do
not accumulate
Citing the nbundancc thnt enables
the United States to share
food ami fiber with the world the
report continued
Yet many of our farmers in
the midst of this abundance arc
suffering severe hardships They
have accepted sharp reductions In
incomo through voluntary restrictions
on their crops to bring production
into line with demand The
hardships arc being aggravated
by nn unwise and dangerous gov

Vur family lias always done most things
together And as often as possible thats the
way we went to church
But while I knew it was important to take
my boys to church and try to impress on
them what it meant I also tried and even
harder to make them realize church doesnt
end when you walk down the steps
Its an allweek allyear alllife thing
Therell be some weeks when you cant go
and all those times in between when you
have to show by your actions and words that
Christian obligation doesnt end when you
step out of the church door
I tried to show this to my boys as well as
take them to church And I think
we all dichbetter for it
Light their life with faith

THESE REALITIES CONFRONT AGRICULTURE
I The average farm prices has dropped 22 percent since Feb 1951
2 Farmoperating costs remain near their record high
3 Net farm income in 1954 was 28 percent below 1947 and 10 percent
below 1953 Further declines are predicted for 1955 and
1956
4 Farm debt is increasing
5 The value of agricultural assets has declined 10500000000
since January 1955
6 The cut in federal wheat supports will mean a reduction of 656
000000 or 31 percent in income of wheat growers
7 Dairymen and other farmers face a similar loss of revenue
through reduced supports
8 New or modernized parity will take effect in 1956 reducing
the parity value of wheat by 3 5 cents a bushel and of corn by 20
cents a bushel
9 If the federal farm law is not changed the price support on
wheal will in all probability be reduced to 75 percent of this new
parity value in 1956
10 Although farmers now make up 135 percent of national population
they received only 42per cent of national income in 1954
eminent policy of lowering the
price supports on major crops
The report termed as fallacies
contentions that farmers were pricing
themselves out of the market
that lower price supports would
mean lower prices for city consumers
that the flexible scale
would mean more freedom and
less controls for farmers and that
the 90 per cent of parity supports
were responsible for accumulating
surpluses
The House committee concluded
The decision to be made is
whether wo force the farmers of
America to bear large nnd unnecessary
costs In adjusting our production
of food and fiber with the
risk of damage to the whole econ
omyOr
Or whether we accept the abundance
as n blessing with Its problems
to be shared by all the people
In a program hat seeks economic
equality for agriculture and
maintains a solid foundation for
the wellbeing and prosperity of all
segments of our society
bring them toworsHipthis week
