BY TBV GOULDY^
The Director of Wildlife Res-
toration for the Game and Fish
Commission said winter range
seems improved for deer herds
but disclosed that three deer
found dead almost a month ago
in Llano county were found to
have starved.
“Rains in the main deer
ranges have been followed by
unusually warm weather that
has produced good green stuff
for the deer,” explained the Di-
rector. “This could help avert
possible winter losses from mal-
nutrition in over - populated
areas where food is scarce.”
The fat lamb trade at Fort
Worth opened strong to 50 cents
higher Monday. Good and
choice lambs sold from $17 to
$18.50. The $18.50 top was
scored alike by some milk fat
lambs, some wooled lambs and
some shorn lambs carrying No.
1 and Fall shorn pelts. Some
shorter pelt fat lambs sold from
$16.50 to $17. Some shorn feed-
ers sold from $16 to $16.50. Cull,
common and medium slaughter
lambs drew $13 to $16.
Slaughter ewes sold from $7
to $8. Old bucks drew $5 to
$6.50. Some fresh clipped old
wethers drew $10. A few yearl-
ings and twos sold from $12
to $16.
HOGS OPEN WEEK WITH
ADVANCE OF 50 CENTS
Good and choice butcher hogs
topped at $12.75 to $13 at Fort
Worth Monday. This was 25 to
50 cents above last week's close,
and mostly 50 cents higher.
Sows at $11 down were also 50
CATTLE RUNS AGAIN
HEAVY ACROSS COUNTRY
Twelve major livestock mark-
ets Monay reported more than
113,000 cattle and calves, and
the larger portion of them were
again fed steers, yearlings and
heifers. As a result the fed
cattle trade was again very
slow and weak at Fort Worth.
Cows and bulls were fully
steady. Slaughter of less than
500 pounds were firm. High
grade and lightweight stockers
steadily, but plainer

Smaller runs around the ma-

THE STORE THAT STRIVES TO PLEASE*
he will run, but they engineer-
ed. the veto of the gas bill an-
ticipating and hoping that the
President would yield to their
pressure and become a candi-
date. My original statement on
learning of the President’s ac-
tion was as follows:
“The veto of the Natural Gas
Bill by the President is one of
the most effective blows that
has been struck against States
Rights in this generation. It
is a great victory for the ad-
vocates of centralized govern-
ment. If we are to believe the
President’s statement that the
basic objectives of the bill are
good, we can only conclude that
the veto Was prompted by ad-
vice from those whose interest
in political matters exceeds their
desire to preserve many of the
fundamental principles and in-
stitutions of the democratic gov-
ernment founded by our fore-
fathers.”
“I sincerely regret that the
President has again chosen
to pursue a course that must

TO THE PEOPLE OF
THE 18TH DISTRICT:
The Farm Bill
The Senate has commenc-
ed debate on the farm bill. It
is generally thought that the
Senate will adopt the 90 per
cent supports of basic agricul-
ture commodities; the same soil
bank features will be included
in the Senate bill; thatAthe soil
bank provisions will meet with
major opposition in the confer-
ence committee discussions be-
tween the House and the Sen-
ate; that if the final bill con-
tains 90 per cent supports with
the soil bank idea, the President
will sign it; first, because it
will be politically popular and
second, because if anything
goes wrong with the soil bank
theory, which is anticipated,
Benson can blame it on the
90 per cent supporters; that if
the bill goes to the White
House without the soil bank
provisions, there is a good
chance that the President will
veto it.
I have introduced a bill in
the House of Representatives
that will provide supports for
feed grains including grain
sorghums under the “Plainview
Plan.” This same language will
be submitted as an amendment
to the Senate bill and we hope
it passes in that body.
Veto Of The Gas Bill
i
On January 6th I predicted
in a newsletter that if Eisen-
hower signed the gas bill, he
would not be a candidate for
re-election; if he vetoed the bill,
he would be a candidate. It
is very plain here in Washing-
ton that the veto of the gas bill
by the President is saturated
with political implications.
The small body of king mak-
ers who usually surround the
President have not, as of this
date, received a definite com-
mitment from Eisenhower that
