State Control of
Tarm-to-Market
Roads is Urged
By taking 18,000 miles of farm-
'fo-market roads into the high-
way system, the State Highway
^Department could furnish good
.roads for 85 to 90 per cent of Tex-
as’ total automobile traffic, ac-
cording to John S. Redditt, chair-
man of the Texas Highway Com-
mission.
Texas now leads the nation in
highway construction and has
made more progress in the last
two years than any other state,
Redditt says.
The state’s highway system, he
added, now includes 33,000 miles
of all-weather roads.
He urged that 18,000 miles of
primary county roads—the local
thoroughfares carrying the heav-
iest traffic—be added to this sys-
tem. Most of these now arc dirt
Toads. The Highway Department,
he said, sould assume the job of
straightening them, doing some
grading #ind adding some sort of
all-weather surfacing.
Redditt estimated the cost of
such a program at $9,000 a mile,
or $162,000,000 for the whole pro-
ject.

.Americans Spent
.Average of $900
Americans spent a record of
$127,000,000,000 for goods and Ser-
vices last year, or an average of
more than $900 for every man.
woman and child in the country.
The commerce department’s of-
fice of business economics which
came up with tins estimate said
the total is $21.000,nun.01)0 over
last year’s precious record.
Texas will lead the nation in
1947 production of cotton, sor-
ghums, beef cattle, sheep and
lambs if it meets goals set Thurs-
day by Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton P. Anderson.
Anderson’s final announcement
of goals called for record produc-
tion of all farm products to meet
world demands in addition to pro-
jected increased home consump-
tion.
Texas waj asked to plant 8,460,-
000 acres to cotton, more than
one third of the nation’s proposed
23.100.000 acres. Its sorghum
acreage was placed at 11,880,000
out of the nation’s 23.500,000.
Anderson set a Texas goal of
2.700.000 beef cattle by Dec. 31,
1947, nearly 20 per cent of the
nation's total, and 9,575,000 sheep
and lambs, out of the national
quota of 35,299,000.
Other Texas, production goals
for 1947: 198.000 sows to farrow
(spring), 4.225.000,000 pounds of
milk from 1,320.000 cows, 35,260,-

Willie Goes
to School at 23
Ii
Everybody’s joshing Willie Wells
^bout going back to school. They
remember when Willie would hide
out in the woodshed—scared to
bring hi* report card home to Pa.
But under the G.I. Bill of
iBichts, Willie (who has a wife and
baby) is getting a free educa-
tion at the Agricultural College.
And Uncle Sam ia giving him a
line report: “Deportment, excel-
lent; Progress, above average.”
That goea for all those under-
graduate veterans. Like Willie, they
appreciate an education more than
ever now. They’re industrious an
well-behaved—their favorite bev-
erage is milk, or a temperate glass
of beer. For them the “three R's”
seem to mean; Responsibility, Re-
sourcefulness, Restraint.
From where I sit, cynical folks
who thought veterans wouldn’t
want to return to school—wouldn’t
stick to steady habits of work and
moderation — have their answer
in “undergraduates” like Willie.
