Temple, Texas-Air pollution
from dust storms was at a near
record low in Texas this spring,
according to a wind erosion re-
port released this week by Clyde
W. Graham, State Conserva-
tionist for theSoil Conservation
Service. Graham credited fa-
vorable moisture conditions
and the work of conservation
farmers in the western part of
the state with reducing the dust
storms.
“Reduced dust pollution
benefits a lot more people than
you might think,” Graham said.
“Dust hurts people with asthma,
emphysema, hay fever, and
other respiratory ailments. It
ruins electric motors, cars,
buses, trucks, tractors, and
anything else with moving parts.
And it settles in homes, grind-

Haskell - No parent wakes up
in the morning planning to make
his child's life miserable. No
mother says to herself, “Today
I’ll yell, nag and humiliate my
child whenever possible.” On
the contrary. In the morning
many mothers resolve: “This
is going to be a peaceful day;
no yelling, no arguing, and no
fighting.” Yet, in spite of good
intentions, the unwanted war
breaks out again.
If you wish to fine a new so-
lution to these old problems,
read Dr. Haim G. Ginott’s “ Be-1
tween Parent and Child”.
Areas covered in Dr. Ginott’s
book are, “Conversing with
Children”, “New Ways of
Praise and Criticism”, “Jeal-
ousy”, “Some Sources of Anx-
iety in Children” and “Respon-
sibility and Independence”.
Many of you have seen Dr.
Ginott on the Today Show. His
newest book is, “Between Par-
ent and Teen-Ager”.

Dust Storms Cause
Misery, Land Damage
ing furniture, floors, and car-
pets.”
Less than 500,000 acres, or
about half the 5-year average,
were damaged in Texas by wind
erosion this year, Graham said.
His report was the results of
an annual survey made by SCS
offices in the 34 million acre
area of West Texas subject to
severe blowing during the No-
vember 1 to May 31 blow sea-
son.
J. C. Yeary Jr., District Con-
servationist for the SCS of Has-
kell reported no land severely
damaged in Haskell County dur-
ing this same season. This is
unusual for the county, Yeary
pointed out. Farmers and
ranchers who are practicing
sound crop residue and range
management can be given full
credit for the reduction of blow-
ing soil.
Graham noted that during the
dust bowl days in the “dirty
30’s”, dust blown from several
million acres of Texas land
darkened the skies along the
eastern seaboard and out into
the Atlantic Ocean.
Of the land damaged this
season, 460,000 acres were
cropland and 9,600 were range-
land. Some 17,000 acres of non-
farm land, such as roads and
bare city land, were also dam-
aged by blowing.
