Comment from the Capital —
By all odds the coming elec-
tion figures to be one of the
closest races in the century
And coming as it does at a time
of excitement and challenge a
time of grave crisis at home and
abroad it could well prove to be
the most important election of
our lifetime
Sure it must come as a shock
then to rca’ize -haf in all like-
lihood almuai lJf of the citi-
zens of the worl !" gieitest de-
mocracy won’t even bother to
go to the polls on November 8th
Thi3 is no idle guess It is
based on vivid disgraceful fact
1952 saw the greatest percent-
age of American voters in his-
tory flock to the polls and
then it was only 627! And
in the 1948 election — the clos-
est Yace of our time — only
515 of the population of vot-
ing age saw fit to use their
franchise These were presiden-
tial contests In off-year elec-
tions almost no one bothers I

Democracy won’t work by it-'

Farming in the Washita river val-
ley has come a long way in the past
few years Farmers are experienc-
ing better pastures and harvests as a
result of this change Irrigation and
fertilizing the soil have been respon-
rible to a great extent for the better
farming practices in this area
A large number of farmers have
had their soil tested by the county
agent in order to find the correct
fertilizer to apply to their particular
soil
Leonard Taylor who farms east of
Hammon is pictured abovt filing
his drill with fertilizer The modern
drill has two hoppers one for the
grain to be sown and the other for
the fertilizer He is using between
70 - 80 pounds of 13-36-0 fertilizer
with his small grain Taylor states
that his first plantings are respond-
ing very good to this type seeding
nnd aTe making a rapid growth
Many ranchers and farmers hare
discovered that fertilizing assures a
faster growth for wheat pasture and
will also bring a higher yield at har-
vest time
The Upper Washita Soil Conserva-
tion District is furnishing fertil-
izer spreaders to interested farmers
ht a very low rate trying to assist In
the the increased interest of fertiliz-
ing the soil
