As the moisture evaporates, wood cells contract and the lumber shrinks. This loss of siie Is inevitable, regardless of species. It should occur at the mill, not after lumber is in service. Responsible lumber manufacturers protect the consumer through proper seasonlng- a drying process which shrinks lumber before It is surfaced to final size. Proper seasoning to maximum moisture content limits is a mandatory grade requirement for Southern Pine.

Under this protection, as one expert put it: "Human nature removes its Are such legacies valid? In making a will, Is there a to be Generally the answer is yes. The law is reluctant to condemn the motives of someone who is not present to make explanations.

No court can be sure what real grievances might have lain hidden in his heart. Besides, the very idea of a will Is to give the maker the right to pick and choose among the possible objects of his bounty, favoring one, rejecting another. Fortunately, the average will does not reflect either venom or spite. Most people find something better to do with their last words than to leave a legacy of hate. Not many Individuals care to be remembered that way.

Sign on a ranch for sale in Liberty County: Sale, Oleo Acres-One of the er spreads." I asked a certain spinster hereabouts why she didn't marry. She said: have a dog that growls, a parrot that swears, a fireplace that smokes, and a cat that stays out all night roaming around. Why should I want a husband?" FIRST BALE Navratil, 59, operator of Dayton's ultra modern cotton gin, is shown above tugrtng at the first bale of cotton ginned in Liberty County this year.

The cotton was 1 rought to the mill last week by farmer Travis Brand, Liberty, and it weighed 585 pounds. Liberty County's cotton allotment amounts to about 2,000 acres. Navratil, cotton ginner for about 31 years, said he started out with an old diesel and belt operation. He now has all-electric push button types with hydro electric operating gin stands. The mill will be in full gin In about 2 weeks.

Navratil said the cotton is running late this year and that last year had already baled at out 100. His operation can produce about eight or nine bales an hour with each averaging around 500 lbs. The mill at one time ginned about 3,300 1 per year until the Government diverted acreage program came about. Navratil said: helped the farmer but it didn't do me any average about 1,000 to 1,200 bales now." I IBERTY VINDICATOR PHOTO Your Agent ('on nty Report sinan John Dowdv Report By Da Results of Grain Sorghum Tests In an effort to strengthen agriculture in Liberty County, a number of result demonstrations are conducted each year on iocal farms. These demontrations are supervised by the County Agricultural Agents with local far mers cooperating.

Last year, demonstrations indicated that grain sorghums had promise in the a cash crop with yield on one three-acre plot of 6,000 pounds. This year, twenty-four grain sorghum hybrids were planted to help determine which hybrids are adapted to our area. Weather has been unfavorable for spring planted row crops this year. Early in the planting season growth of young plants was retarded by cool nights and cloudy and rainy days. Insect infestations, particularly aphids, OIL PRODUCERS PAY TAXES Oil and gas producers in the United States paid more than $4 billion in state and local severance taxes during the decade 1957-1966, according to Oil Facts.

These taxes are based on the amount of petroleum extracted from the earth, or on the value of that production. The total for 1966 alone exceeded $488 million an increase of 36 per cent over the amount for 1957. Eighty-nine per cent of the new-fie Id wildcat wells drilled in the United States last year were dry holes, according to Oil Facts. These were exploratory projects in areas not previously productive. On the average, only two or three out of every 100 such wells find enough oil or gas to be commercially profitable.

were also a problem. Rainfall during the growing season far exceeded normal which resulted in water logged soils and poor plant growth. This reduced yields considerably, These hybrids were planted March 20 on the Jamison estate by the farm operator, Louis Hohn. Three hundred pounds of 21-7-7 fertilizer was applied per plant in a band In beds. Seeds were planted at the rate of four to five pounds per acre.

The test consisted of one acre planting of each hybrid. Grain was harvested on July 30. Listed below are th- hybrids and the yield per acre In pounds.

CENSUS QUESTIONNAIRES. A businessman, resident of our District, sent me a stack of buslrtess census forms, which must have been at least an inch thick, which he had been demanded to fill out and return to the Census Bureau, under pain of penalty for failure to do so. He felt the demand was unusually and unnecessarily burdensome, and I do, too, but the various bureaus have, by regulation, provided penalties for failure to comply with their demands. I have been adv ised the bureau has prepared a large number of questions, some quite personal, for the population sus to be taken in 1970. A number of bills have been introduced to put some limits on this uncalled-for invansion of privacy.

I trust that some action will be possible prior to 0. FEDERAL BUDGET. Final budget results for fiscal year which ended on June 30, 19t 8, have been reported.
