a stroller, Roger Morris, III, six-
year-old Dallas polio patient at the
free clinic of the Texas Scottish-
Rite HoSpital for Crippled Children

feet, he is able to correct his walk-
ing stance. Sponsored by public
donations, the hospital has aided

regain the use of their afflicted
limbs. Its facilities for treating
polio victims are unexcelled any-
where in the rm.tien.

MEANS LESS WORK . . .
MORE INCOME PER ACRE
PRICE OF LAND
IS CLIMBING
The farm operator who buys
land and pays for it with the
production from one or two sea-
sons is the exception rather
than the rule. Such 4ea^s are
more than likely the result of
the prices for the crops. The
price of land is climbing right
along, too.
Texans who are wondering
whether to put their savings
into farm or ranch land at to-
day’s high prices ma*y profit
from a recent analysis on the
land market during four signi-
ficant periods—postwar, depres-
sion, recovery and the war
years.
The analysis, prepared by Joe
Motheral, of the Agricultural
Experiment Station of Texas A.
& M. College, and John H. Sou-
thern and Samuel L. Crockett
of the USDA Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, shovvs that
farm income is the main factor
determining land prices. Pros-
pective buyers would be wise to
watch the' trends in prices of
the principal commodities that
provide the farm income, as
these prices tend to lead the
land market by a year or more,
more.
In some areas, a single im-
portant commodity sets the pace,
as peanuts in the West Cross
Timbers, while in other areas,
a combination of enterprises in-
fluences land prices. Beef cat-
tle. rice and cotton along the
Gulf Coast, for instance, or cat-
tle, sheep and goats in the Ed-
wards Plateau, must be consid-
ered in calculations for these
areas.
Government price and export
programs may also alter land
prices and buyers might take
into consideration that five of
Texas’ most important farm
commodities—cotton, corn, rice,
wheat and peanuts for nuts—
are covered by price guaran-
tee’s at 90 percent of parity or
more through 1948.
The status of mineral rights
is among other items reflected
in the market values of Texas
. land. Separate ownership of
I mineral rights lowered surface
values by more than one-half
in Smith county, where a spec-
ial study has been made. Where
various fractions of the mineral
rights were reserved, farm
tracts changed hands at var-
ious prices ranging between
these two extremes.
Land prices have already
reached “boom” proportions in
some sections of the state, par-
ticularly in grazing areas, but
some of the usual characteris-
tics of a boom are lacking in
the present market. One of the
bright spots right now is the
high percentage of cash trans-
actions and accompanying low
volume of mortgage in indebt-
edness.

Sandlin to Winton netted 30
yards. Sandlin hit the left side
for pay dirt. Sandlin’s kick was
good. A pass from Sandlin to
Lee set-up the final touchdown,
and then a pass from Sandlin
to Winton scored. Try for the
extra point failed.
Matador also scored again in
the final period, when Nelson
broke into the clear and sprint-
ed 55 yards for pay-dirt.
A few statistics reveal:
First downs, Paducah 7, Mat-
ador 8.
Yards gained passing, Padu-
cah 140; Matador 37.
Yards gained rushing: Padu-
cah 150, Matador 158.
Average punt yardage: Padu-
cah 3 for 111; Matador 2 for 60.
