THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCA1L TEXAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 22. 1954
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
With the signing of bills by
the Governor, the 1954 special
legislative session is rapidly be-
coming history.
Complete victory for the Gov-
ernor’s program was the net
result.', of the called session. He
got everything he asked for.
That included: pay raises for
teachers and state employees,
appropriations for state build-
ings, and the anti-Communist
law.
To finance the new spending
the legislature passed tax meas-
ures, as recommended by the
Governor, on corporations, fran-
chises, beer and natural gas.

Perhaps the biggest news in
Texas was the rain.
From its Austin office, the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
announced that precipitation
over much of the state, includ-
ing drouth-ridden West Texas,
brightened the prospects Star
farmers and ranchers this year.
Everywhere, the situation was
described as improved, but more
moisture was needed to insure
agricultural success during the
coming season. ,
While the rains helped, the
Texas drouth was not complete-
ly broken. ., .
Governor Shivers said he
would ask for more Federal aid
for dry West Texas counties.
As usual, Texas weather went
to extremes. . „ .
In the Lower Rio Grande Val-
ley, there was too much rain.
Flood situations existed for a
time in Alamo, McAllen, San
Juan, Donna, Edinburg, and El-
Sa Turbulent weather conditions
brought a tornado warning to
Central Texas, remindful of the
Waco disaster last year, when on
May 11 a twister caused 114
deaths, injuries to 500, and, vast
property damage.

Governors from the drouth
stricken states of Colorado, Kan-
sas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas will meet at the call of
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
for a conference in Washington
on April 26.
Governor Shivers has signified
his intention to be present.
The conference will precede
a meeting of the commission on
Intergovernmental Relations, to
Miss Enid Justin, civic and
industrial leader of Nocona
has been designated as "No-
Cana's Woman of the Year."
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Haley of
Lubbock visited in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Marrs Easter
Sunday.
which Shivers belongs as a
presidential appointee, and a
conference of governors on eco-
nomic and defense matters.

Government support and cut-
ting the cost of milk and dairy
production are not the answers
to steadily dropping market pri-
ces. So says Sam E, Von Rosen-
berg of Austin. He is state man-
ager of the American Dairy As-
sociation of Texas.
Von Rosenberg contends that
greater marketing and selling
activities are the only solu-
tions to the precarious position
of the dairy industry.
To that end, dairy farmers
of Texas are setting aside two
cents for each 100 pounds of
milk and one-half cent for each
pound of butterfat for cream,
for a merchandising program to
be conducted by the industry.

C E. (Everett) Fulgham of
Lubbock becomes Secretary of
State on May 1, by appointment

press of private business.
Fulgham served as chairman
of the Industrial Commission
which investigated Communists
infiltration of labor unions. He
is a farmer and rancher.
Shivers also announced the
appointment of Hal Peterson,
Kerr county stockman and ran-
cher, to the Game Commission
to fill the unexpired term of
Scott Schreiner, who resigned.
Peterson resigned from the
Upper Guadalupe River Authori-
ty in order to accept this ap-
pointment. ___

load lots of strictly choice steer
calves could bring $22. Replace-
ment cows drew $10 to $14.
Fed cattle were pretty scarce [
again, with some good and j
choice kinds at $18 to $23, odd !
head to $24. Others drew $13 to
$17.50. Fat cows cleared at $11 to
$15, a load from Kirk Edwards,
Clay county, was representative

ed 1,170 lbs. Canners and cutters;
drew $8 to $11, a few shells be-;;
low $8, some canners from the
JA Ranch drew $9.75.
