I ^Thoughts
" From The Living Bible
Then God said, “Let us
make a man—someone
like ourselves, to be the
master of all life upon
the earth and in the
skies and in the seas.”
So God made man like
his Maker. Like God
did God make man;
Man and maid did he
make them. And God
blessed them and
told them, “Multiply
and fill the earth and
subdue it; you are mas-
ters of the fish and
birds and all animals.
And look! I have given
you the seed-bearing
plants throughout the
earth, and all the fruit
trees for your food.
Genesis 1:26-29

Down, Down, Down ... Broilers Not Chicken
Feed . .. Citrus Crop Report Shows Decline.
For the 17th .consecutive month, milk production has
shown a decline. In Texas, milk production during
February dropped four per cent below a year ago, and
seven per cent under a month ago. Milk production in
Texas during February totaled 244,000,000 pounds.
Milk production per cow averaged 700 pounds during
February. This is 10 pounds below last year and 50 pounds
below the previous month.
Nationwide, milk production during February
showed a three per cent decline. Production during the first
two months of 1974 was three per cent below the
corresponding period a year ago.
Milk production per cow on a nationwide basis
stabilized during February. Production per cow was 776
pounds; this is the same as a year ago. But it is six per cent
below January of this year.
Milk cows on farms during February totaled
11,227,000 head. This is down three per cent from the
same month a year ago.
Meanwhile, dairy price supports to become effective
April 1 will be at the lowest level permitted by law—80 per
cent.
Continued high cost of production is the main reason
for a continuing decline in milk production.
For example, Texas dairymen paid an average of
$137 per ton for mixed dairy feed (16 percent protein) in
January compared to $105 per ton in February of 1973.
Texas dairymen paid an average of $86 per ton in
February for baled alfalfa hay compared to $71 per ton in
February of 1973.
THE BROILER business in Texas is not chicken feed,
according to a summary from the Texas Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service.
Gross income from broilers in Texas during 1973
totaled $146,221,000. This is an increase of more than
$50,000,000 over 1972.
Average price received for 1973 was 22.8 cents per
pound liveweight. This is the highest average price since
1955 when it was 25.5 cents per pound. The 1973 average
price was 8.6 cents per pound higher than in 1972.
Texas is in seventh place in the nation in the number
of broiler chicks placed in 1973. Commercial broilers
placed in the state last year totaled 178,991,000. This is a
three per cent decrease from 1972.
The weekly high for placements was 3,994,000
during the week of March 31; the lowest was 2,852,000
during the week of October 27.
Nationwide, a decrease of two per cent in broiler
placements was noted in 1973 compared to 1972. The
average price nationwide was 23.9 cents per pound.
BASED on March 1 prospects, the Texas citrus crop
is down slightly from a month ago.
Virtually all of the grapefruit and most of the
Valencia oranges have been harvested, although Valencia
harvesting is expected to remain active during the
remainder of the month. Most of the fresh market crop is
expected to be picked by April 1. Many fresh market
packinghouses plan to shut down as early as April.
Citrus tree condition varies greatly throughout the
Valley. Most groves are extremely dry and are requiring
irrigation.
Nationwide, the 1973-74 grapefruit is forecast to be
down one per cent from the February 1 estimate and two
per cent below last season.
HOWE'S THAT............
(continued from page one)
A news report out of San
Francisco tells of a gentlemai
who passed away at the age
of 106. He took his last job
as a waiter at a hotel there
at the age of 80 and worked
there for 25 years until his re-
tirement at the age of 105.
He liked to run seven miles
every day, and three years
ago polished off the 100-year<
dash in 17. 3 seconds. Bored
after retirement, he took a
job with an employment ag-
ency.

be spared because it’s always
