Approval mot the' Senator’s statement defending private enterprise and his thorough opposition to the Brannan plan.
The Senator introduced "Brother Tom" Byrd, saying that Mr. Byrd would speak on spraying practices for orchards. The brother got around to that subject after he had poked some fun at his Senator brother. "He plants the trees," stated the brother, "and then goes back to Washington, leaving me as Mo. 1 man of the demolition crew ... Every year in the springtime, when most of us are getting a good case of spring fever and complete inertia, the Senaotr gets the urge to plant trees. He’s a modern Johnny Appleseed. One year he went on a real binge and planted 40,000, and since that year, 1938, he has just planted a thousand-or-so each year.,
“The planting is not bad,’’ continued Tom Byrd, "but eventually those trees grow and get apples on them. That’s where I come in. The Senator leaves instructions before he takes off for Washington. Each set of instructions is prefaced with No. 1—Don’t spend so much money, and the others will be: raise a clean crop, and don’t spoil the foliage.”
