ANYBODY WOULD THINK I d

firmed last-minuter like me never
does.
Actually. I did do a little better
than usual. I have almost all my
Christmas gifts purchased—and I
ordered and received personal
Christmas cards weeks ago But of
course the heavens opened and the
floods decended, so probably no
body will get a proper Christmas
greeting from me again this year

Harriett has landed in the hos

feeling too sham the last few
weeks, but being fie kind of gal
she is. she was uracil more ready
to listen to other people’s troubles
than to gripe about her own.
However, she hasn't had quite
as many cheery quips of late. It’s
taken most of her energy to get
her work done. But she's come up
with fewer of the hilarious happen
ings that often find their way to
this column. She just hasn’t been

knows she’s gone. But we're in

feels really good. We miss her
too much to want to risk her being
away later because she didn't take
enough time now And we'll get
along. We always have before—and
somehow Wanda can always come
through in a pinch—in spite of
Camp Fire Girls and a birthday
in the family—and just before
Christmas, too.
We don’t think it’s nearly so

bear with us if we seem a little
rushed.

COMMENTS have been coming
in thick and fast on items in the
paper recently. Last week's column
on high school hairdos brought us
a chorus of agreement from almost
all directions.
Adults and high school boys told
us they certainly went along with
the opinions expressed here. High
schools girls have remained silent.
THE ONLY ADVERSE remark
we got came from a young adult
who informed us that the kids were
going to think HMP is pretty stuffy.
Well, maybe so But just remember
that an adult style—those hideous
pointed toes on dress shoes—came
in for some very disapproving re
marks. too.
I’m still wearing the blasted
things—just as I suspect a good
many of the gals will go on tortur
ing and splitting their hair. But I
don't like it! I have my usual fall
crop of sore spots on my feet—
which I don’t suppose will get well
until I get into open toes and sand
als next summer.
I suspect a secret alliance be
tween shoe manufacturers and the
makers of bunion pads and corn
remedies. But this can't last for
ever! Surely soon shoes will once
again be built on more comfortable
and foot-conforming lasts.
The heck of it is. you STILL can't
buy a pair of high heels—which
I love, without getting the points
along with them Oh well. I guess
I’ll limp along for another season.
ANOTHER COMMENT remind
ed us that we’ve wanted for some
time to say something about Har
din's habit of knowing every fe
male's first name—but never that
cf her husband.
We were asked if the rules had
changed and it is now considered
journalistically correct to use Mrs
Mary Smith in print—instead of
Mrs. John Smith.
Of course the rules haven’t
changed—and of course it is quite
wrong. The only trouble is that
most of our news sources don’t
seem to know whether Mary’s hus
band is called John. James or
Aloysious. So it’s often either leave
out the item entirely, spend hours
identifying the right Smith or print
it incorrectly
If we were a little bigger, we’d
probably leave it out altogether—
but it this isn’t a metropolitan
daily, and we know you like to see
news of clubs and parties, visits
and trips in the paper.
We'd surely appreciate it if our
informants would get on a first
name basis with their friends’ hus
bands.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS ap
pear in a special section of the
Tribune-Herald this week. But
you'll find a few in the regular
section, too. And if you miss some
body, don't think they don't wish
you a merry Christmas.
Every year, we manage to skip
a few people who would like to add
their greetings to the others in the
paper. We try to call on everybody
once, but when the boss isn't in,
we sometimes don't get back.
CHRISTMAS TREES AND DOGS
don't mix as well as they might.
A tree does have a certain at
traction for the canines, and we've
heard some highly amusing stories
about loss of doggy maners when
confronted with such a startling
developement as a spruce or fir
in the living room, where of course
it has no business being, from a
pooch's point of view.
And every once in a while a
beautifully dacora'.cd tree gets
'dumped over by the curious or
j careless family pet
This year. I can see we re going
to have a real problem at our
house. As usual we took the advice
of the Safety Council and insurance
companies and immersed the base
of the tree in water. And this was
just too much 10.- ou. tig golden
laborador She couldn’t believe it!
A convenient drinking dish right in
the living room!
We fouled things up a little by
covering the container with cotton,
but that was only a temporary
set back What dog worth her salt
couldn't drag that ridiculous stuff
away in short order?
We finally convinced her the
water was for the tree —not for her.
But she got even. The first night,
she dragged that lovely soft tinsel
which is such a pretty new develop
ment m tree decoration, off the
lower boughs and took it to bed
with her.
Oh weli, we just read that Christ
mas is for the beasts, too!

This time of year sort of clim
axes the activities that took place
last year in Big Hom County as
far as the Extension Service is
concerned. Looking back and try
ing to prepare an annual report
gives one a chance to see what has
been accomplished. Actually there
has been a lot more going on than
most of us realize I guess anytime
one gets involved in a program
where there are over 300 4-H club
members and leaders working to
gether. hec an expect things will
get done.
We do wish to thank all the lead

NEWS
Dec. 14 was the last day for fall
signup tor the 1963 wheat program
and the feed program.
This morning we received word
that Spring signup dates will be
Feb. 1 through Mar. 22
Continuation of the Feed Grain
Program for the next few years on
a voluntary basis has been recom
mended to Secretary of Agricul
ture, Orville L. Freeman, by his
advisory Committee on Feed grains
meeting in Washington early in
December. In considering the pro
gram for 1963, the committee re
commended that price supports—
through loans and payments in
kind—and diversion payments be
set at levies high enough to en
courage farmers again to hold
down their acreages of feed grains.
As announced earlier, partici
pants in the 1963 feed grain pro
gram will receive price support
partly through loans and purchase
agreements and partly through a
price-support payment. The in
crease just announced will be ac
complished through higher loan
and purchase agreement rates, with
no change in the price-support pay
ments.

New ASC committees will call
a meeting to develop the 1933 Ag
ricultural conservation program
at 9:30 a m. Friday, Jan. 4. and
will be held at the community
room of the courthouse in Hardin.
This meeting will be one of the
first responsibilities of the newly
elected ASC committeemen who
take office Jan 1.
। The national and state AC Pro
|grams for 1963 have been approved
They provide considerable latitude
for county ASC committees, assist
led by all other state and federal
! agencies interested in conservation
Ito develop a cost-sharing program
tailored to the needs of the county.
The county program can offer
'special incentives to encourage the
। use of soil, water, forest, and wild
life conserving practices which
have not previously been carried
out to the desired extent or. per-
Ihaps, not been used in the county.
I The ASC County and Community
'Committees will attend this meet
ling. also personnel of ASC office,
| the local extension agent. FHA
supervisor. SCS personnel, and
ation most of the activities would
be at a standstill. Somethimes there
are some misunderstandings that
create quite a stir, but they too
can be overlooked if a little time
is taken to try to understand things
better.
We also would like to wish all the
good people in Big Hom county a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year. Sometimes we don’t see some
people as regularly as we should,
but we still think of you and are
glad to help out any time with any
problems that we can.
There are so many things going
on and so many meetings being
held that sometimes it makes near
ly anyone wonder how much is
actually being accomplished in the
whole county. Sometimes probably
very little is being accomplished
but by the end of a year one can
always see a lot of changes. I
guess the thing to do is continue
as we have and hope more can be
done next year.
We would like to encourage farm
ers to look back at their last year’s
records and see if they can find out
where their profit and loss differ
ences have been. One farmer told
me a few days ago that he made
no profit last year but found it easy
to tell why when he checked his
books.
Like a doctors's stethoscope, farm
records are a diagnostic tool for
locating the ills of the farm bus
iness. but like any other tool, re
cords are valuable only if they are
used and used properly.
Records are useful to the farm
er in three main ways. First, as
an indicator of business success;
second, as a "service" tool for
such direct applications as making
out an income tax return; and third
as a diagnostic tool for locating the
weak points in the farm business.
While farm records can indicate
the nature of the illness in the farm
business, they do not prescribe the
"cure”. When records reveal a
weak spot the farmers must con
sider alternatives which may in
volve enterprises and practices
that have not been employed on the
farm in the past.
