of Missouri, told Texas agricultural
4 workers and farmers in a series of
talks over the state last week.
“As agronomists, we are applauded
when we make one and one-fourth
blades of grass grow where one grew
before. But what about the chemical
composition of that blade? We may
be feeding only bulk, not nutrients,"
he said. The speaker deplored the
practice of “trying to make a mow-
ing machine out of a cow."
Dr. Albrecht, a nationally-known
authority on soils, explained that a
sheep can eat only 2.1 pounds of
grass per day. He reviewed some
studies where sheep were fed on soy-
bean hay and lespedeza. Sheep fed
from untreated plots gained eight
pounds in 63 days, while sheep fed
on hay from plots treated with lime
and phosphate gained 18 pounds in
the same period, he said.
The speaker talked to interested
agricultural groups at College Sta-
tion, Dallas, Tyler, Houston, and Cor-
pus Christi. His appearances were
sponsored by the Agricultural Ad-

Here’s a million-to*-one shot:
J. A. Gooch, prominent Bert
Worth lawyer, is known as “Tiny,” a
nickname that the giant acquired
during his football days at the Uni-
versity of Texas. The other day, your
columnist ran into him and as we
stood waiting for a traffic signal to
change, I asked:
“What is your sure-enough name,
Tiny?”
He reddened a little and said,
“That's a secret."
Just then a man turned the corner -----r------------
in an automobile and yelled, “Hello, the carnivorous order.”
Aubrey.' { I bet you didn’t know that a cat
looked at me and then he said, with
a weak smile, “You got me, sheriff!”

A little-known natural wonder is
to be found in Montgomery County
—a magnolia forest. Not a clump or
cluster of magnolias but a forest that
is three miles long and from a quar-
ter to a half mile in width! Magnolia
Ridge is eight miles southeast of Con-
roe—and when the war ends and the
tourist crop is again one of the na-
tion’s biggest “industries," the forest
of towering magnolias should prove
an attraction drawing many visitors
annually.

The trouble with an “authority" is
that he can’t be simple about any-
thing. Ask him, for example, what a
cat is. The first word I learned to
spell was C-A-T. ^everybody knows
what a cat is A cat is a cat (as Ger-
trude Stein said of a rose, a rose is a
rose” fame would put it. But that’s
too simple, too obvious for an “au-
thority.” What does the learned man
allow? Why he says:
“Cat, the general name for all
quadrupeds of the family Felidae of
I looked at Gooch and
justment Agency, the
Experiment Station, and the Exten-
sion of Texas A. and M. College.
One point emphasized at all meet-
ings was the fine discrimination
which animals have in selecting what
they need to eat. “The homely jack-
ass has a keen knowledge of plant
ecology,’’ he said, "and you can learn
by observing a cow or a hog.” He
told how hogs turned into a 40-acre
Iowa corn field first hogged seven
acres which formerly had been plant-
ed to alfalfa and heavily fertilized.
When that plot had been cleared they
began on the corn grown on untreat-
ed land.
Gooch j had a last name and belonged to a
family named Felidae, did you?
“: Neither did I, and I doubt if the cat

X. marks the spot
where Mrs. Frazer fainted
It happened at the Colemans’ party.
The crowd got to talking about the high cost of living—which is one
of Mrs. Frazer’s favorite topics.
She told in detail how her husband had to increase the family clothing
allowance—and how hard it was to balance the food budget—and wasn’t it
dreadful how much more everything cost!
So Bill Coleman quietly reminded her that at least one household necessity
had not gone up. She almost exploded, "What’s that?”
"Electric service,” said Bill, "and government figures* prove it. The average
price of electricity has remained at low, pre-war levels, there’s been no
shortage of electricity, and what’s more, you get the same good quality servict
as you did before the war.”
The shock was a little too much for Mrs. Frazer. Luckily, Ed Lutz was there to
catch her.
You may find Bill’s statement as hard to believe as Mrs. Frazer did. But it’s
a fact. While many other household necessities have gone up in price, down in
quality and have been rationed, your electric service has remained good,
plentiful and low in cost.
In wartime or in peacetime, electricity is still the biggest bargain in your
budget. This accomplishment has been made possible by the experienced men
and women of CPL through their hard work, careful planning and sound
business management.
