Great Alarm Ove Dust Storms
As 1Blow Area hubled In Size
Blowing lands on the Texas and
Oklahoma Plains more than dou-
bled in area in the two weeks end-
ing December 15 and are more
than five times as great as the
acreage reported on November 15,
according to reports received by
the local office of the Soil Con-
servation Service.
This announcement, based on
reports from SCS representatives
to Louis P. Merrill, regional con-
servator, also revealed that re-
cent blowing in the sandy Cross
Timbers lands which border Plains
lands on the east have added 568,-
000 acres to the blowing areas in
the two states and helped to roc-
ket the total now yielding dust
ancTsand to a total of 2,948,000
acres. Of this total 2,629,000 acres
are in Texas.
Even more disheartening to Soil
Conservation Service observers
watching the two-state picture—
smaller areas in eastern New Mex-
ico also are involved—is the re-
port that continued drouth condi-
tions and cutting winds have left
5,947,000 acres without enough
plant cover, either in residue or
['new growth, to prevent damaging
erosion. This total was an increase
from 3,869,000 acres reported
[Without sufficient protection two
[weeks earlier. Nearly 2,000,000
icres of this increase was in wheat,
>tton and sorphum lands of the
Texas and Oklahoma Plains.

ed by combine sorghum stubble

i The Cross Timbers soil move-
ment is different from that of the
Plains areas farther to the west,
the Soil Conservation Service re-
gional head explained. The coar-
ser sands are torn loose_by the
wind gusts and swept along the
surface to form trouble some hum-
mocks at fences and around tufts
of gra-s and weeds. The dust is
from the fine sands and “tight
L; lands" of the Plains and is.made
up of the most valued soil ele-
ments.
From Lubbock Monday, Dec. 20.
came reports of a true dust sto^m
which carried silt particles from
farther west and northwest across
the skies. Visibility during the
afternoon ranged from zero to
several miles. Wind velocity was
never more than 28 miles an hour.
In the Kiowa County Soil Con-
■e*servation District of Oklahoma,
Henry Dugan of near Alt us, a
member of the soil conservation
district board, staled that more
wind erosion was occurring on
farms in his area than at any time
i before in the memory of residents.
This was for the most part on
sandy lands which had been pre-
pared for wheat.
Farmers in the Big Spring area
in Texas were predicting that wind
erosion conditions will grow pro-
gressively worse if rain does not
relieve the drouth.
Jesse D. Jenkins, Soil Conser-
vation Service district conserva-
tionist at Lamesa, reported nearly
940,000 acres in his section without
sufficient cover, an increase of
more than 800,000 acres. Many

Lions ClubTold
About Work Of
Co. Health Unit
The regular weekly meeting of
the Lions club was not held on ac-
count of the Christmas holidays.,
On Tuesday, December 21, the
club met at the Methodist church
for luncheon. The entertaining
feature was a Christmas program
given by pupils of the third grade
under the direction of Mrs. Billy
Key. .
Mrs. Bolton and Mrs. Evans of
the County Health Department at
Levelland were guests of the club.
Mrs. Bolton told of the health unit
testing school children for defec-
tive eye sight. Many parents do
not know that their children’s eye
sight is bad, and these tests have
proved very beneficial. One child
in the Sundown school whose par-
ents are unable to provide the
needed glasses will be furnished
glasses by the Lions club.
It was reported that fourteen
baskets were being provided for
needy families in Sundown.

Bumper Crop Of 1948 Cuts
Farm Income Throughout US
WASHINGTON—The American
harvest in 1948 was the biggest in
history, but total income of far-
mers dropped somewhat from the
all-time peak of the previous year.
Farmers’ 1947 income had
reached a record high of $16,500,-
000,000. Their 1948 income is es-
timated by the Department of Ag-
riculture at some $15,450,000,000,
a decrease of about 8 per cent.
A decline in some farm prices
during the last year is attributed
mainly to increased output of sev-
eral products and a falling off
during the latter part of the year
Texas Ignored As
Scientists Find
Biggest Dust Cloud
NEW HAVEN, Conn., (AP)—
Discovery of the greatest dust
cloud in the universe was report-
ed to the American Astronomical
society today.
The cloud is a celestial fog
bank so vast that a sunbeam
would take one thousand years
to pass one side. This cloud is
known to astronomers as the fish
on the platter.
Anyone can see the fish with
naked eyes in midsummer by
looking almost straight overhead,
around midnight, at the constel-
lation Northern Cross, also called

Mercury Hits Low
Mark Of 18 On
Thursday Morning
The blue norther that hit Texas
Wednesday evening, brought the
season's lowest readings to Level-
land as weir as the rest of the
state. Thursday morning’s low was
18 degrees, according to County
Agent Artie Forehand. It had
warmed to 30 by mid-morning.
Previous low was said to be 20
degrees.
Lubbock station of the U. * S.
Weather Bureau also reported an
18 degree reading north of that
city. Clarendon was the coldest
with 16 degrees. Amarillo had 17,
Abilene 21, Dallas 26, San Anton-
io 29, Lufkin 31, Corpus Christi

It was expected to be 25 to 30

ing, with slightly warmer wea-
ther forecast for Friday..

in Hockley county Thursday aft-
ernoon.

in the overseas demand for Ameri-
can products.
War-torn cdlintries have been
steadily increasing their food pro-
duction. However, a record amount
of American food—19,347,000 long
tons—was sent to foreign countries
during the crop year ending last
July 1. Countries under the Eu-
ropean aid program got 65 per
cent of this food.
Despite the huge shipments
abroad, the year’s record-breaking
farm output gave folks at home 14
per cent more food than was avail-
able in the pre-wat years of 1935-
1939.
The 1948 corn crop was the big-
gest of all time, wheat production
was the second largest,'and there
was a bumper cotton crt»p. Huge
potato production cost the govern-
ment more than $100,000,000 in
price support operations.
The Department of Agriculture
has asked farmers to cut down
1949 planting of whedt and pota-
toes to prevent market-glutting
surpluses. There were recent indi-
cations, however, of a record
wheat planting.
The government has recom-
mended that farmers produce
more poultry, milk, vegetables,
sheep and lambs in the coming
year. It also has called for* a 17
per cent pig crop—to provide
more pork chops for next fall and
winter.
As a result of large 1948 feed
crops, more red meat is in prospect
for 1949. This indicates a smaller
demand for eggs.
Conservationist'
Warns Lions Club
Of Dust Dangers
Aubrey L. Holt, work unit con-
servationist for the soil conserva-
tion service, told members of the
Lions club Thursday noon that
the “soil was decreasing in Hock-
ley county and that something had
to be done about it.”
‘‘Civilization was built around
the farming community,” the
speaker said. The soil program
must have the co-operation of the
farmers as well as other citizens
of the county,” Mr. Holt said.
“Most of the soil conservation
work in the county, so far, has
been on irrigated farms.^There are
acres of land that will not produce
cotton on and on and there are
acres of land that will not pro-
duce feed continually,” he pointed
out.
He used as an example, a small
town down state where it used to
be a thriving oil and agriculture
center, but the land “washed
away,” and there is only a filling
station there now. The land is
now turned to pasture and they
are trying to build the soil back.
R. H. Munsterman introduced
Mr. Holt.
Guests were Rev, J. A. Wheeler
of Stephenville, of W. R. Wheeler;
Herman Fort of Bill Simon; R. M.
Holt of Homer Johnson, and El-
liott W. Adams of the Lubbock
Lions club of Lois H. Vestal.
The holiday season generally de-
creased the oil activity over the
Permian Basin, but the Level-
land area kept its usual pace in
spite of it all.
According to applications filed
with the oil and gas division of
the Railroad Commission of Texas,
15 new wells were completed in
the region and 11 locations staked
for additional exploration.
Of the new producers,1 nine were
finished in the Levelland field of
Hockley county and two in the
Levelland pool of Cochran county.
A wildcat discovery was also
put on production in Hockley
county to open a new pay for the
district.
In the Slaughter field, Hockley
county, two projects were com-
pleted. One well was developed
in the Smyer field of Hockley.
The new locations were not so
widely scattered. Seven applica-
tions to drill, one of which was
amended, were filed for Hockley
county, and five listed for Coch-
ran county.
