you feel telltale vibrations from
any wheel. If a tire isn’t rolling
true it can cause erratic, unsafe
steering and irregular wear
patterns.

Weed Seeds
Germinate
After 50 Years
Weeds are the original die-
hards in civilization
Scientists who ran ger-
mination tests on weed seeds
buried for up to 50 years
came up with startling proof
of this.
They reported that 51 of
107 weed species tested still
had viable seed after 20
years. Weed seed With, the
greatest longevity were dock
and pigweed. Scientists said
52'. of dock seed buried for
50 years germinated, while
66'i of pigweed seed sprout-
ed after 40 years
Tests also showed that 747f
of morning glory seeds ger-
minated after 5C years, and
29rf of Johnson grass seed
after 3 C years
The reason these seeds’re-
main in the soil for such a
long period without sprout-
ing is apparently related to
environmental conditions.
According to the scientists,
some seeds need just the right
combination of moisture,
temperature, and nutrients
before they will .germinate
This is why, they add, that
farmers may suddenly be
confronted with a weed prob-
lem they thought they had
cured years earlier.

Suppose somebody owes you
money. According to your fig-
ures, the amount is $300. But the
debtor insists that the amount is
only $200. One day you receive
a check from him for $200. On
the back he has written the
words: “PAYMENT IN FULL."
Should you cash the check and
take a chance on collecting the
extra $100 later on? it is tempt-
ing to do just that.
The trouble is that if you cash
the check as is, the law will prob-
ably consider the whole debt
wiped out. The debtor has made
you a legal offer to settle up for
a total of $200. By cashing the
check you are accepting his offer
and agreeing to a final settle-
ment at that figure.
True, with the $200 check in
your hands, you might be reluc-
tant indeed to let . it go. One
man in this predicament tried to
steer a middle course. He erased
the word “FULL” and substi-
tuted the word “PART,” then
cashed the check.
However, his strategy did not
work. A court held later that he
had no claim to any more money.
The court said he had no au-
thority, on his own, to alter the
terms of the defendant’s offer.
Another man tried something
else. He too cashed a PAY-
MENT IN FULL check, but at
the same time wrote the debtor
that lie simply was not accepting
it as a full settlement.
But again, a court ruled that
the entire debt was wiped out.
The court said the man’s actions
in cashing the check spoke
louder than his words of dis-
avowal.
Even if you don’t cash the
check but merely hang onto it,
you might be held to have ac-
cepted the debtor’s offer. Silence
can mean consent.
However, that wouldn’t hap-
pen right away. In cne case, a
creditor kept such a check for
six weeks before mailing it back
to the debtor. The latter there-
upon insisted that the delay had
cancelled the entire debt.
But a court decided the debt
was still due and payable. The
court thought six weeks was not
an unreasonable time, under the
circumstances, for the creditor to
weigh his next move.

November Is
Food, Fiber
Month In Tex.
COLLEGE STATION; “Ag
ricutCurally speaking, we’ve got
a lot going for us in Texas.
We’ve got a diversified agricul-
tural industry that contipues to
grow to meet the increasing
demands of consumers in this
state as welt as the entire
nation. So, it’s appropriate that
we look back occasionally and
reflect on the fine job our
agricultural producers are do-
ing,” says Charles Baker,
economist for the Texas Agri
cultural Extension Service.
“That's why the month of
November is dedicated to
farmers and ranchers and the
quality products they produce
as well as to the other people
who make agriculture what it is
in Texas."
Officially, November is being
called "Food and Fiber Appre
ciation Month."
Just how big is Texas
agriculture?
Agriculture in all its phases—
called agribusiness—adds more
than $10 billion ann’ualiy to the
Texas economy. And agribusi
ness provides employment for
about 30 percent of the Texas
labor force.
Here are some additional
striking figures: Gross farm
income in Texas in 1972 totaled
$4.7 billion, up 13 percent from
the previous year. However,
expenses increased almost 23
percent and totaled $3.8 billion.
Thus realized net farm income
was only $847.4 million, 19
percent less than in 1971. But a
boost in farm inventories put
the total net farm income at 28
percent above that of 1971, or
about $1.4 billion.
How does Texas ghape up
with the other major agricuitu
ral states in the nation? Total
agricultural receipts continue
to increase each year as the
state is drawing a bead on the
Number 1 position. However, it
is still surpassed by California
and Iowa in the national
Tankings. Texas is the leading
state in cattle feeding and is the
top producer of cotton, grain
sorghum and rice.
What does all this point to?
"We’re big in agriculture and
we're going to get bigger,”
contends Baker. “Both domes
tic and foreign markets are
opening new frontiers in the
food and fiber production
business, and we in Texas must
continue to expand production
and to improve our efficiency to
meet these increasing de
mands.”
