With the price of gasoline
increasing regularly, inquiries
from the news media concern-
ing how the maximum selling
prices of gasoline are figured
have increased considerably.
To save telephone calls and
postage, here is the regulation
of the U.S. Department of
Energy which governs the
pricing of gasoline.
Section 212.93 of the Depart-
ment of Energy (DoE) Price
Regulations sets the maximum
selling prices for gasoline by
retailers. Prices are controlled
by limiting the current per-gal-
lon markup of each retailer to
his historical markup which
existed on May 15,1973.
Maximum prices are based
on the actual selling prices
charged for each grade of gaso-
line sold on May 15, 1973, plus
any increases in the cost of the
product incurred since that
time. Additionally, a Retailer
may add any non-product cost
increases incurred since May
15, 1973, up to a maximum of 3
cents per gallon.
Recently DoE has allowed
Retailers to add to their selling
prices, the cost of vapor re-
covery equipment installed and
any increases in service station
rent.
A Retailer may not exceed
the maximum prices as posted,
however he may sell below the
maximums. Regulations'
require the maximum selling
price and octane rating be
posted on each pump.

SAN ANTONIO - Recog-
nizing lamb’s long established
appeal to many American con-
sumers, the nation’s lamb pro-
ducers are working hard to
bring more product to market.
There has not been an abun-
dance of lamb available in
recent years, admits industry

...comes from
pulling together!
Individually, as a farmer or rancher, you have little influence on factors beyond your
fence row that affect your operation. Yet, government decisions and economic forces
have a great effect on your net income.
By pulling together, farmers and ranchers can magnify their efforts many times.
Political leaders and other groups respect numbers.
As a farmer or rancher, you cannot attend every hearing that affects you. Nor, can you
personally contact your legislator on every major political issue. Farm Bureau can repre-
sent you in both instances.
Farm Bureau is an organization you can count on. That's why four out of five farmers
and ranchers in the nation are members of Farm Bureau.

a special effort to poll opinions
of members and non-members
about Farm Bureau and how it
can more effectively represent
agriculture. The present mem-
bership totals 228,079 member
families in 212 Texas counties.
The membership chairman
for the Gillespie County Farm
Bureau is Ruben Sagebiel of
Cherry Springs, according to
county president, Kenneth Lin-
dig of Albert.
The effectiveness of the
state’s largest agricultural
organization was shown
through the overwhelming vic-
tory of the Tax Relief Amend-
ment in the Nov. 7 general elec-
tion, said Lindig. He said Farm
Bureau is also working on other
problems, such as inflation,
threat of export controls, for-
eign ownership of land, parity
prices, and land-use proposals.

MELVIN "Curley" HEIMANN,
Mgr.
Feeders Association, attended
the Lamb Committee meetings
during the winter session of the
National Live Stock and Meat
Board here this week gives
much of the sheep decline
blame to increased predator
problems.
Consumers, however, will
have to be patient while pro-
ducers rebuild flocks, said
George Hislop, chairman of the
NLSMB Lamb Committee.
Hislop along with Drake
attended the various board
promotion and education pro-
grams, said the programs are
helping the industry explain the
lamb outlook to the public.
The Meat Board is a con-
sumer marketing and scientific
I organization which works for
the nation’s livestock and meat
■industries in carrying out red
meat promotion, nutrition re-
search, home economics, retail
merchandising, meat science,
information and education pro-
grams. It is headquartered in
Chicago.
According to U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture figures,
lamb production as of Jan. 1,
1979, was down 1 percent —
considerably improved over the
5 percent declines of previous
years, Hislop noted. Also, ewe
lambs, held over for future
breeding purposes, increased
.12 percent as of Jan. 1, follow-
ing increases of 6 percent each
1977 and 1978. These in-
creases will lead to future
increases in sheep and lamb
numbers.
“Supplies for the immediate
future will still continue to be
short, however,” he said, “and
this, combined with compe-
tition created by declining beef
supplies, will tend to drive up-
ward somewhat prices con-
umers are going to pay for
amb.
“However, we are predicting
a stabilized or slightly im-
proved production level for 1980
which will mean greater lamb
and mutton supplies.”
■ MAJOR PROBLEMS which
lamb producers face in most of
the sheep producing sections of
the U.S. are PREDATOR DES-
TRUCTION (PRINCIPALLY
COYOTES), labor shortages
and grazing rights, Hislop
noted.
Drake explained the problem
in West Texas for sheepmen,
particularly around San An-
gelo, is the PREDATOR
PROBLEM mainly from COY-
OTES AND EAGLES. “Some

sheepmen are losing an aver-
age of 10 LAMBS PER DAY TO
EAGLES ALONE and the coy-
ote population has increased so
in the last few years- they are
SEEN IN PACKS AT THE
CITY LIMITS OF SAN AN-
GELO,” he added.
Hislop said -the lamb can
compete well within the meat-
poultry market, and wool’s
attributes as a natural fiber for
pure and blended fabrics also is
strong, both of which suggest
an excellent future for sheep
production.
Higher prices, now paid for
lambs and ewes, are encourag-
ing producers to rebuild their
flocks liquidated earlier during
periods of low prices. This
means fewer ewe or mother
lambs will be sent to slaughter
in 1979.
