URGE BUILDING
OF MORE
TERRACES
Because farmers need to use
every practice that has been
proved to consei’ve soil fertility
and increase farm production, B.
F. Vance, state AAA administra-
tive officer, is asking county
AAA forces to co-operate with
county agents, soil conservation
service technicians, and local vo-
cational teachers, in organizing
terracing programs in all of the
hill counties of the state.
Under the 1943 AAA farm
program farmers can earn 80c
per 100 linear feet of standard
terrace established. Last year
Texas farmers built 109,927,000
feet of approved terraces to con-
serve soil and moisture and earn-
ed §824,407 in payments for
carrying out this practice, Mr.
Vance said. The goal for 1943 is
150,000,000 feet.
Soil conservationists say the
correct construction of terraces
with proper outlets is one of the
first and most important steps to
take to prevent erosion and to
conserve soil and moisture on
cultivated rolling lands.
Terraces serve to collect and
retard the flow of water off the
land. The grade of the terrace
causes the water to move more
slowly, giving it more time to
soak into the soil.
The State AAA Committee can
make terracing available to farm-

ers of any county as conservation
assistance upon proper applica-
tion to the county AAA commit-

said.
In counties where terracing
has been approved as conserva-
tion service, local farmers can
get terrace lines run and ter-
races constructed and have the*
cost deducted from the soil-
building payments they earn, Mr.
Vance stated.
During the last 46 years, Texas
has produced about .6 Vz billion

Overweight Motor Oil
Costs You Dear
Be sure of changing to your Lightest possible grade
—by having your engine Winter OIL-PLATED
Sure as you live.. .sure as your
car must live... you’ll want a
change to the lightest motor oil
that your engine can use this
Winter of War.
Waiting for a "real cold day”
before draining overweight oil
that drags when it chills, is like
waiting for your battery’s doom.
This drag of overweight oil
wastes gasoline, too. And even
worse is the big chance of in-
ternal damage because over-
weight oil won’t squirt and
spray into friction zones of your
engine quickly. For the sake of
your battery, your gasoline
coupons, and your engine,
change to your lightest practical
grade of oil:
You can quit wondering
whether "one grade heavier
might be on the safe side.” You
can be as safe as possible with
your engine oil-plated by even
your lightest suitable grade of
Conoco N th motor oil. Its load-
carrying capacity is doubled by
synthetic means. And this also
creates "magnet-like” action to
keep lubricant closely fastened
to inner engine surfaces, in the
form of oil-plating. Even the
lightest grade of Conoco N*h
oil will give your engine the
high protection of oil-plating.
Ask Your Mileage Merchant to-
day to recommend the grade
suitable for your car. Con-

DDT TO HELP
FIND REPAIR
PARIS
Truck owners and operators
will receive increased help in
finding needed repair parts dur-
ing the coming months through
the efforts of the Maintenance
Specialist in the 142 district of-
fices of the Office of Defense
Transportation, Richard E. Wood,
district manager of ODT’s divi-
sion of motor transport, Lubbock,
Texas, announced today.
In addition to spreading the
greatly expanded flow of new
pai’ts scheduled for production,
the maintenance specialists have
access to the lists of interchange-
able parts used in many types of
trucks and will undertake to lo-
cate needed parts through ODT
maintenance specialists in other
cities, through parts makers and
through the co-operation of the
War Production Board, as well as
through the local channels af-
forded by the industry-wide mem-
bership of local district mainten-
ance advisory committees and
sub-committees, Mr. Wood said.
Through the cq-operation of
members of local committees over
half of the local parts shortages
reported to ODT to date have
been relieved locally. Through
the 142 ODT maintenance spe-
cialists, the local search is put on
a nation-wide basis.
Mr. Wood pointed out that al-
though materials assigned to
parts manufacturers have been
greatly increased, there is still a
big problem in getting' particular
parts to the areas where they are
most needed. It is in locating
needed parts in other areas where
they may be available that the
local maintenance' specialist can
be of real help.
To prevent avoidable lay-up
of trucks, operators unable to
find needed parts are urged not
to delay getting in touch with
their ‘ local maintenance specialist
at the ^nearest district office of
the Office of Defense Transpor-
tation.

OLDEST FARM
The oldest farm in continuous
operation in the nation is in El
Paso County, according to an
item in the Sealy News. The
article says the farm dates back
to 1540. The farm is part of the
Ysleta grant from the King of
Spain to the Catholic Church of
Ysleta.

but tune in at this same station,
same time, next time and we
will have something new for you.

FARM INCOME
SHOWS BIG
INCREASE
A dry, hot summer that
brought cotton to maturity ra-
pidly gave a great impetus to
farm cash income during August,
bringing a 71 per cent increase
over the same month of last year,
Dr. F. A. Buechel, University of
Texas Bureau of Business Re-
search statistician, has revealed.
August farm cash income
amounted to $127,000,000 as
compared with $80,000,000 dur-
ing the same month of 1942. In-
come for the first eight months
of this year has totalled $590,-
000,000, an increase over a cor-
responding period of last year of
nearly 42 per cent, the bureau
reported.
Bulk of the huge increase in
income during August came from
cotton, since a large percentage
of the year’s ginnings came dur-
ing this month. The rate of gin-
nings will drop in October and
November, and income from this
source will decline accordingly,
Dr. Buechel explained.
However, most farm prices
still show a substantial margin of
gain over those of 1942, he de-
clared, so that a higher level of
income will continue the remain-
der of thq year.
lot about you, and I’ve coirie a
long way to see which is the bet-
ter man.”
Without answering, the farmer
seized the intruder, hurled him
bodily into the road.
When the loser had somewhat
recovered his breath, the farmer
growled, “Anything more?” 1
“Perhaps you’ll be good enough
to throw me my horse,” was the
reply. ____
A newly perfected tire kit for

from the rims, solves the form-

ing plane “flats.”
DISPUTE SOON SETTLED
The strong man rode out on
horseback to callenge a farmer
whose great strength had gained
him a reputation. He entered the
farmyard, tied up his horse, and
approached the farmer.
“Hey,” he said, “I’ve heard a
