' I But there i'f.one ' dahger which still looms! ahead and when even the President may not be able to circumvent, and that is the danger of a serious military incident in the v Formosa Strait. The President has been trying, in recent weeks to play down the danger of War, or a military clash with China. , Yet reports continue to come in from the Far East indicating the Chinese Communists are going to attack the Matsu Islands or may-' be Quemoy. (The danger seems to . lie more in the Matsu group now.) U. S. policy is not clear concern ing1 such a probability. Few peo-- ple actually know what the Presi dent would order in the event of various, emergencies. ,1 -The! prevailing belief among one segment, in the military, is that we are ready to use atomic weapons, on-a -tactical basis, if the Chinese attack, the .Nationalist-held islands. Tfewuld mean, -the United States vUTd'fie ret0fiing iagainst a im j9!jjtowe).in fcetialf 1 pflits ally, the Nationalists, over an off-shore Chi nese island. The British call this policy , too bold. They say the mainland C h i n e s e government should have control over these off . shore islands, anyhow. There is some reason to suspect the U. S. is ready to employ mili tary force against the Reds if they attack the Nationalist islands. Sec retary of State Dulles has warned the Reds of such a danger. The President is. largely mum.

The big question is what Russia would do about a defensive alliance she has with China if the U. S. assaults China with atomic bombs. The Chinese wquld claim the U. S. had initiated hostilities against the mainland, and that Russia was ob ligated to come in. Of course, Rus sia would da what she found to be in her best 'interests at the time, regardless of a treaty. . She might find -it highjy pleasing to- secretly encourage such a clash while sup plying Qi'infc lift yra? malarial, weartohs And piane&Mis.ia means of weakening2 foe U.

S. air and sea forces were cap able of teaching the Red Chinese a lesson, and the matter could be left there, the. President would be content to see fighting' end with the repulse of invasion attempts, which would then be incidents and not a- new war. All this is cloud ed in doubt! Meanwhile, business booms and prospects are that the rest of 1955 will be good. But a new fight in the Fast East could bring on an other inflationary rise. It could af fect business, and the segment of U. S. industry which would handle stepped up defense orders, depend ing upon the extent of U. S. mili tary yinvolvement. If things came to the worst, with Russia aiding China,.' an' all-out war would be close, at hand, with rationing, price control 'etc.,- all over again. , JOHNNY MILLER, popular radio star of WTOB says, "My wife "1 has alwayi used light Kai oi 'or cooking . . . and on the iablelt's dark Karo for me, the best-fasting eating SUA Ask your grocer for DARK MR.

THOMPSON 4- ' County Agent I W. : . i ' v There has been an indication . i1 that some of the farmers plan to try-' to " certify their soybeans in 955 especially in the case of the Lee Soybean. If you have any idea of trying to certify these beans please be sure that the land you plant these beans on did not have soybeans planted on it last year and that there is at least five feet separating the beans you want certified from any other soybean. Application for cei-tification must be made by August 1st. The soon er you send your application in the better it will be. Those wishing to certify peanuts must be sure thai they have not planted peanuts on that land for a period of two years and should keep these peanuts sep arate from the regular field type of peanuts. Application for certifica tion on peanuts should be made as early as possible. If you desire in formation on certification of your crops contact someone at the Coun ty Agent's office and we will be glad to give you assistance in mak ing these appl ications. syrup of 'em all" I Farm Npwq 1 . 111 IIUIIV J Yes, indeed.;. biscuits go like hot cakes when you pour on plenty of delicious dark Karo . . . there's nothing like it for good eating.
