AUH2O46T4

The above is the new campaign slogan , for Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, an unannounced Candidate for the presidency next year. i It seems like it takes a symbol any more to capture the public’s imagination, and this one fits Senator Goldwater well. AU is the chemical symbol for gold, , and H2O the symbol for water, and the 46T4 is self-explanatory. Right now Senator Goldwater is easily

Why Accidents Happen . . . Maybe

(Editor’s Note: A reader sent us the following editorial which appeared in an Indiana farm tabloid newspaper. The reader said it is a reply to our recent editorial on farm accidents. Anyway, we gladly re-print the editorial here.) > Fanning . . . High Hazard Industry Temptation got the best of us today. We’re sweating out an editorial on farm safety which is appropriate anytime but especially this month since Farm Safety Week is set officially for July 2127. And we have some gory that should be told . . . like the 907 Hoosiers killed in farm accidents between 1949 and 1959. But the plot thickens right here because we also have a clipping from Insider’s Newsletter about a study comparing neurosis of rural and urban folks made by the American Medical Association. The

IN WASHINGTON a i Hartke Dedicates Post Offices; Urges Federal Tax Cut

Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) today urged that federal income tax rates be lowered in this session of Congress. Speaking as a member of the powerful Senate Finance Committee which will handle the President’s tax reduction bill, Senator Hartke told the crowd assembled at Bourbon that a tax reduction would set off a "chain reaction” which would create more jobs. He called a tax cut “the most vigorous way tb solve the unemployment problem.” „ -' ■ ' . At Argos the Senator pointed out that the preserit tax system which was established to prevent inflation after the Second World War and the Korean conflict, is the greatest single barrier to full economic growth. He noted that the war-bem tax we now have "applies the brakes too strongly and thus prevents the full economic expansion so vitally necessary in the new and different war of our own era—The Cold War.” Senator Hartke explained that he has twice introduced legislation which would increase the individual income tax exemption from the present level of S6OO to SIOOO. He emphasized that his proposal to allow parents ,of college students a double exemption (SI2QO) for each son and daughter in college was a double-bar-reled attempt to assist the taxpayers because it not only lowered taxes for parents of college students but also encouraged those parents to invest in education. In discussing the general subject of taxes, the Senator challenged the common belief that “taxes are' to a politician what hay is to ahorse.” He claimed that the old adage was completely false and he asserted that since, “Politicians don’t like taxes any more than anyone else, a more correct statement would be that taxes are to politicians what a sore throat Is to any .man -a pain in the .neck!” Senator Hartke also used the oecasion to praise the post office department on its tremendous increases in productivity. He stressed that the example of the post office department explodes the myth which holds that the national government is a wasteful, inefficient bureaucracy. He cited

DON FRANTZ County Agriculture Agent The procedures concerning the cereal leaf beetle quarantine are beginning to take shape even though the quarantine has not officially been invoked. Many ®f the terminal markets are demanding, however,- that grain be treated prior to shipping to them. At present thjs is their own restriction and is presumed t® be precautionary so that they will not be in violation of any standards whenever the restrictions do become official. It looks as if the restrictions will be placed upon the persons or firms who move the grain out of the quarantine area. There will be none within the area. This means that farmers will have no difficulties in selling wheat t® the local elevators at harvest time but the elevator men will have to treat it before it goes to the terminals. There are no state inspectors available for this job and the elevator men will each designate persons who will be authorized to make the certificates that the grain has been treated. The authorization is sent to the state entomologist office with the proper signature. This elevator manager or employee is then authorized to sign the official certificates that must accompany each «ar or truck load of wheat or other grain. Premium grade Malathion is the preferred treatment at the rate of one pint per 1,000 bushels of grain. This ig applied in one of the legs es the elevator. It is easy to do and is inexpensive. Not all elevators are equipped to do this, however, and the standard carbon tetrachloride grain fumigant is accepted. Most elevators already use

the GOP front-runner for his party’s presidential nomination. He could easily be at convention time as well. One thing for sure, if Senator Goldwater is the recipient of the GOP nomination, the American people will have a definite choice of conservative vs. liberal for the highest office in the land. This is a choice they have been consistantly denied in the past 25 years.

good doctors have their own ideas why farmers are accident prone, and it makes you wonder who they interviewed. At least it’s a different slant. Should we quote it ? Well why not. Today’s farmers, the study notes, are “accident-prone, depressed, overworked, unable to enjoy life and married to a highly frustrated woman.” The high rate of accidents is blamed on overwork and financial worry. About that “frustrated” farm wife. The doctors conclude that “she lias just enough contact with the busy world outside her remote village, through magazines, newspapers, radio and television, to make her wish she could participate in it instead of being stuck in the sticks.” We didn’t say it .. . they did. k Now we’re waiting for a study comparing the neurosis of city doctors and farm editors. It should make great reading.

this procedure and therefore it will not cause any great slow-down in handling of grain. Our office does not have information as to who all have received supplies of the certificate forms. We have them but possibly not enough for the entire county. They are available to any elevator or shipper of grain, hay or straw. Everybody enjoys fresh roasting ears - particularly if they’re from the home garden. 4 And it’s not just your imagination, sweet com is sweeter just after you pick it - then the sweetness drops off fast. The flavor and sugar content of sweet com drops faster after harvest than in. any other popular vegetable. So, for sweet com at its very best, you’ll have to have the water boiling before you go out to pick it. It’s important to pick at just the right stage too. You can pull down the husk and take a look, but that’s not cricket unless you’re a beginner. Ripe ears have plump kernels - and they are yellow in yelllow varieties. » To be still more precise sweet com is ripe when milk oozes out of a kernel you’ve punetured with your thumbnail. If water oozes out the ear is too young; if a doughy substance appears the ear is overmature. To tell if an ear is ripe “without looking” cheek the silk at the end of the ear. It should be dry and usually fairly dark in color. And the ear should feel full. If you can’t cook your com right after you pick it, store it - husks on - in your refrigerator to help maintain high quality.

WOMAN INTO SPACE!

Dear Amy: Speaking from a woman’s point of view, I am naturally very ■ proud of our astronauts and the success 1 of our space program. But, why aren’t women considered if they are qualified to train as astronauts? Women weigh less, can withstand the rigorous training, are as fearless and have as much determination as,men to come through wi£i flying colors. This has been proven in many fields of endeavor where women - have taken over a man’s job.' < However, r nothing is ever mentioned or published in seriousness - about women in space. We know about the Virgils, the Scotts and • the Gordons. How about the Bet- . tys.-the Joans and the Marys!

NASA has been-train-ing'her for what may well be the first woman astronaut into space. < Her name is. Jerrie Cobb. < You can read all about her and what NASA* has planned for her future in a book which was released June 10th by,Prentice Hall entitled “Woman Into Space.” It’s' the Jerrie Cobb story and it will put you in orbit!
