It's a fine kettle of fish, friend, any way you figure it! I ' Recently a spending "project for Greece and Turkey passed Con-) grcss. This outlay, declared Mr. Truman, was intended to ag gressively oppose the spread of communism. The first install ment amounts to 400 million dollars.

With the harvest of another bumper wheat crop starting and t h e i inc oa's harvest close at nana, n is a good plan to check grain storage facilities. Points to check might include: 1. Sufficient avail able e torage space; 2. condition of roof, floors and foundation of granaries; 3. are weevil present, or should they be sprayed; 4. have the bins been swept out to prevent mechanical mixtures of All these points are important whether the grain is intended to remain in the storage a few weeks or several months.

He fays our billions are actually be ig used "to sweeten and subsi dize .the changeover of Europe from the free enterprise system to socialism, and that socialism and communism aic the same thing." Is this true? Let's look at the facts. For the facts on communism, the Congressional document, "Communism in Action," should be authoritative. Its opening sentences read as follows: 'When the Bol-heviks seized power on November 7, 1917, they took over plants and industries as the first step in the establishment of the basis of socialism or com munism. Throughout 1913 an increasing number cf in dustries and activities were nationalized, including bank ing and foreign trade.'' June Rainfall a Record It is quite generally agreed that June, 1947, was one of the wettest Junes on record. Losses of livestock by storm and flood I waters, washing out of crops, de layed cultivation and planting of crops have resulted. However severe losses may be to the above mentioned items, the major loss suffered by Agri culture in Cass county was the loss of tons and tons of top soil which was taken away from our farms. The crops can be re planted, if not this year, at least another season. The soil which was lost is gone forever. Therp are farms in all sections of the county on which special conservation practices are in ef fect. Take time to check with your neighbor or friend who is using these approved practices and see if his losses of soil and Plattsmouth Library News WW.
