TOMATOES BEGIN TO ROLL
Despite unfavorable weather the outlook for
this year's toimato crop is good. The season opened
at Mato here Monday afternoon at four o'clock and
we were present when the machinery started moving
and the first tomatoes started on the belts ready for
grading.
We were a bit surprised at the large number of
trucks waiting for the opening. Prior to the open
ing we had understood that tomatoes weren't ready
and someone retnarked that there wouldn't be 10
trucks at Mato. They were definitely wrong. When
the action started trucks were bumper to bumper
from the shed past the top of the hill.
Increases are expected as the season wears on
and the tomatoes get in better picking condition.
We hope the tomato plants at Marshall, Hot
Springs and Spring Creek successful seasons and' we
hope the tomato producers and buyers are pleased
with the season's output.
THE BURLEY BILL
In the last issue of this newspaper an article was
published in regard to a bill introduced in Congress
concerning burley tobacco allotments being leased or
transferred from one farm to another.
We believe most ofour farmers would like to see
such a bill ratified.
If YOU are in favor of its passage the best
thing you can do is to write your congressman. The
bill was introduced by Congressman Wampier of
Virginia and is pending before the House Agri
culture Committee.
Take time out and write to the following:
Honorable W. R. Poage, Chairman of the Com
mittee from Texas.
Honorable John L. McMillan of South Carolina.
Honorable Watkins M. Abbitt of Virginia.
Honorable John Watts of Ky. (Congressman
Watts is not a member of the Committee but is a
strong spokesman for the Kentucky interests).
Addresses of each are : Washington 25, D. C.
FARM SAFETY WEEK
This is National Farm Safety Week, an appro
priate time to check our sights on safety and correct
any safety hazards on the farm. Summer is the time
of year when ponds are most useful and attractive.
When ponds and people come together there is al
ways the chance of drowning. Drownings can be
prevented with a few precautions and safety rules.
Ned Jestes, Chairman of water safety for the
Aed Cross in Madison, has aome suggestions: Ponds
are not dangerous, in fact accident rates connected
-with ponds are very lo , However, with the num
ber of ponds increasing each year, the chances of
accidents also increase. During the past few years
landowners have built many ponds. Farm ponds are
a valuable asset and have many uses in addition to
farm uses, the family and friends usually want to
picnic beside the pomf or'swim, boat or fish. The
small boy passing by may want to do most anything.
The S(h assisted many farmers in carrying
but safety 1 practice nd urge all landowners who ,
own ponds to install safety practices and establish
rules about use of the' pond. Some of the most im
portant things to da are: Have the engineer de
sign your pond to provide'f or" swimming', removal of, t
trees, brush, holes and other safety hazards. Learn
to swim well and allow small children to tfwim only.,
under adult supervision." Rescue equipment rope
and innertube and reaching pole should be provided
at a permanent post beside the pond. On this post,'
first aid and rescue directions, alon with phone nuffl-- :
bers for c-enrmey help should be posted. - These 4
