Several weeks ago the Gazette
Times offered to take free of
charge pictures of Morrow county
youngsters so these photos could
be run in this paper as a feature

The response, to say the least,
was overwhelming, for before the

had captured the smiles (and a
few tears also) of almost 150
local youngsters a good day's

canes on the ground. Such new
growth may as a result become
diseased this fall. 2. Following
pruning, a 8-8-100 Bordeaux
spray should be applied. This
will not replace the normal win
ter dormant lime sulfur spray.
If time does not permit pruning
out the old fruiting canes fairly
soon, the Bordeaux application
is even more important. Apply a
thorough coverage of spray to all
canes both new and old. The
Bordeaux will stay on longer If
a good adhesive or sticking agent
is used.
We continue to have a big de

at cost.
Ranchers are reminded that

refund is on all gasoline pur

In past years have received the
form in the mall, however those
who need forms may pick them
up at our office as long as our
supply lasts.
Ranchers are again reminded
that the deadline date for sign
ing up for the 1959 conservation
reserve program is drawing clos

land in the conservation reserve
was spelled out a little stronger
this past week when farm statis

smallest in 40 years. So far as
land is concerned farmers are
doing more and more with less
and less. Along with this, the
same is true of the number of
workers on farms while this sum
mer fewer than 7 million people
are doing the farm work In the
country. Ten years ago more than
9 million were working at farm
jobs. In other words, crop out
put has increased about 13
while the number of people
working on farms has decreased
by 30. Our wheat farmers have
again added greatly to the prob
lem of surpluses when this
year's crop of wheat was great
enough to supply every American
for three years with bread, cer
eal and bakery goods. Added to
the stocks already on hand, there
is enough to keep us supplied
for nearly five years at the" rate
we have been eating wheat pro
ducts In recent years.
Savings has worked toward that goal
for over 50 years. We now believe that
the Fidelity has achieved the near
impossible. Any one of the following
afeguards is enough for safety. All

"To Moke A
Mountain Out Of
A Mole-Hill"
By Phil Blakney
There once was a man
who suffered from Indiges
tion. Everytime he read an
ad about how to relieve it,
he bought a different pat
ent medicine. He hated ra
dio and television because
the announcers reminded
him of his stomach-aches.
He tried their remedies too,
but still suffered.
He worried, because he
thought he might have
ulcers. One day he said to
himself. "I will consult a
physician." The physician
examined him, prescribed
the particular medicine
that could help him most
and he got better.
Moral Wasn't he the
foolish one to wait so long
before consulting his phy
sician? YOUR PHYSICIAN
