He I County Agent’s !* if Column in With good summer pastures we j hardly ever think about pasture [for fall and winter until it is j i almost too late to do anything 1 about it. Let’s stop and think j ;abollt how we can (eed our cattIe lhe chcapest way thls faU and winter. We believe that good fail and winter pasture is the best and cheapest way. In order to have a good graz¬ ing for fall and winter we should i start thinking and making plans (now. Land that is to be seeded ' ,t ° past , " re ' . or T, . , graZm . ? ! should be thoroughly perpared i scute time during August, and ■ seeded along the latter part of August or the first of September I as weather nermits. I T, By seeding ,. at ...... his time, the ., pasture p ants will have time to ; make sufficient growth to carry | cattle over during the extreme |, ^ cold P eriod - when plants do very I* little growing. Proper fertiliza- 1 tion of pasture land is another phase of the pasture program lhat should not be overlooked. It might be wise to have the soil analyzed to assure proper ferti¬ lization. This service can be obtained through the county agent's office. Last week you noticed that one of the veterans farm training classes visited several pasture demonstrations on Lookout Mountain. This week the other class (Mr. Ed Bible’s class) visit¬ ed Mr. D. T. Brown’s observing an Appalachian Mountain pas¬ ture mixture and Mr. Dan Smith’s Ladino, fescue pasture. In traveling over the, county keep-an eye out for these good pastures. There are a number [of farmers over the county that [have special prepared pastures, some of whom are Mr. R. G. "(Peterson. W.

LAN HAM'S WEEKLY LETTER "'8 CONGRESSMAN REPORTS 'V---- Seven Keys To Economy Government When I was a somewhat younger man, there was a popu- ,ar play entitled “The Seven Keys to Baldpate.” I remember nothing about the drama except the name—possibly because I ! have such a “baldpate” myself. : it was brought to mind by the [ seven plans which the President ’ has sent to Congress for the re- : o rganization of our government ; along - T ----------' the Commission, lines suggested about ,Kn " f by which the | oover I have been intervals. reporting Maybe to you I* j j at frequent this report too j *am stressing much; but I don’t think so. For , i believe it is our great oppor- tunity to integrate and make [workable and responsive, our ex- ( ecutive departments and bureaus of government that have grown [ to fantastic size and bewildering complexity. If our government ; operates more efficiently and ! i | ,-ithout duplication of effort, it j j nust of necessity operate more ^onomically. Last week I reported to you that he Congress had passed the ball l o Mr. Truman by passing at last the key bill giving the Pres¬ ident the right and duty of drawing and submitting plans r or government re-organization L dne wRR the Hoover reports, j ihe President ball and was promptly all set, carried caught j ..he it for a gain of seventy yards. | Plans Must Wait Sixty Da'ys j 1 Because the plans do not go into effect until sixty days have elapsed without objection by either branch of the Congress acting by a Constitutional ma¬ jority, this is, in foot-ball language, Intermission Time The plans were sent to us on June 20th, which means that we j will in all probability be in 6ession until approximately Sep- ,tember 1st, unless the House and , Se nate, by joint resolution pro- vide that the p i ans g0 into effect in less than sixty days. The Seven: Plans in Brief No. 1. Give department rank to the present Federal Security ^ Administration, the new depart¬ ment to be known as the De- partment of Welfare. Instead of j , a mere bureau chief the head of the department would have [ cabinet status. No. 2. Put under the Labor Department the Government’s job-finding and unemployment compensation services. Included would be the Veterans job place- ment service. [ No. 3.

Army rejections sTiOtVed how prevalent tuberculosis still is. But instead of feeling that “the govern¬ ment ought to do something about it,” our county took up a collection and bought a traveling tuberculosis clinic. This “clinic” is a completely equipped truck that goes from town to town X-raying everyone free of charge. The best way to fight a disease is to try to stop it before it gets out of hand. 'lore and more, Americans are £ . ng things done through the c.d democratic tradition of local Copyright, 1949, United States Brewers Foundation and the creation of a Deputy General and a seven advisory board.

Low-Cost Housing Bill Before you get this report, the will have acted upon the Bill which has caused a f ur or, and which has a g a inst the biggest and j. p erS i S tent lobby, spear- aded by the National' organiz- of Real Estate men, the & Loan Associations the construction industry The bill is intended to help cities wipe out the festering, sores of the slums, and furnish aid to farmers for constructioft of homes where cannot get aid elsewhere. It is not “Socialistic” as has charged. No more so than Post Office, the Insurance bank deposits, the extension rural electric lineS" to farm when the private power failed to render this The existence of the need for cost housing is real, and its is proof of the fact private industry has not probably cannot supply it present building costs. Surely is not socialism, but a legiti- government service, for the to furnish services an area where private indus- has failed. Therefore, I vote for the bill.

Like in the Brewing in¬ dustry, Brewers and tavern keep¬ ers have their program whereby they all eo-operate to see that places selling beer and ale are clean, law- abiding ... beyond criticism. From where I sit, anyone who waits for “someone else to do it” should take a hint from our com¬ munity, or groups like the Brewers and tavern owners, who found a way to get results — for the benefit of themselves and the public.
