Farrowing intentions for Texas for
September Novemtier are 56.000 heail. six per cent above
the same months last year. Intentions to farrow in
December of this year. January, and February. 1974 are
eight per cent atiove the same quarter a year earlier
Nationwide, hogs and pigs on farms in the 10 corn
belt states are estimated at slightly above a year ago. Hogs
for breeding are pp one per cent while market hogs are up
only slightly from a year ago.
Hog producers in the 10 corn belt states currently
intend to hold farrowings at almost the same levels as a year
ago for the next six months.
HONEY is not so sweet in Texas this year as far as
production goes. Even though production is down, the crop
is sweet. But production is down 32 per cent in Texas from
a year ago. Commercial apiaries had 81.000 colonies this
year, the same as last year. But the average yield is expected
to be 65 pounds per colony compared with 92 pounds in
1972
Colony condition is poor this year due to late freezes
and excessive rains in eastern parts of the state.
Nationwide, honey production is about three per cent
less than the commercial production in 1972. Yield per
colony is expected to average 74 pounds, up slightly from
1972.
EGG production in Texas during August is reported
at nine per cent below a year ago and five per cent under
last month.
Nationwide, egg production is down six per cent from
the past year.
Texas layer numbers totaled 11,000.000 during
August, which is four per cent below a year ago.
Texas eggs laid daily per 100 hens averaged 57.8
during August, down from a year ago and last month.
THERE'S still time to visit the Food and Fiber
Pavilion at the State Fair of Texas. The pavilion is under
the supervision of the marketing division of the Texas
Department of Agriculture.
When you visit it, be sure and get copies of two
pamphlets on how to get the most from your food dollar.
One is titled "Texas Round-up of Low Cost Menus." The
other is titled "Economical Texas Vegetable Recipes."
Theme of the Pavilion this year is how to get the
most from your food dollar.
This is the fourth year the Texas Department of
Agriculture has had charge of the Pavilion. Nearly one
million people annually have visited it during the past three
years. More than a million visitors are expected this year.
TEXAS ranked third in the nation in fiscal 1973 in
value of agricultural exports with almost $800,000,000
worth of sales. Illinois was first and Iowa was second.
Total export value of agricultural products reached
$12,900,00(^000. Exports continue to be an integral part
of Texas agriculture since the state is the nation's leading
producer of cotton and grain sorghum.
LIVESTOCK producers are reminded to continue to
submit samples of suspected screwworms to the fly
laboratory at Mission. The Fall season is at hand, and
screwworms increase infestations now until cold weather.

“Let Me See Your License, Lady!”
By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON <1 Pit - A
University ol Maryland psy-
chology pmiessoi is advocating
a' ne« government program
that mould require a license for
parenthotxl
Such plans have been ad
v a n c e d before. but were
deemed unpractical for obvious
reasons Non . according to Dr
Roger W. Mclntire, birth
control methods that are being
perfected could make the
program feasible.
Writing in the magazine
Psychology Today, Mclntire
anticipates opposition by noting
that the word licensing carries
an implication of government
meddling in private affairs
Indeed it does.
What it suggests to me is a
policeman stopping a pregnant
woman on the street and
saying, “Let me see your
license, lady.” If she can’t
produce one, he books her for
illegal fertility.
Everything Else Licensed
But Mclntire also points out
&S&22S

Fifty percent of all of to-
day's wearing apparel la
made of polyester knit fab-
rics. This recent revolution
in garment manufacturing
has caused the consumer to
adopt new laundry methods
to obtain satisfactory results.
Polyester knits are ma-
chine washable. But the gar-
ment manufacturers, now re-
quired to label clothing with
permanent fabric care in-
structions, are advising con-
sumers not to use blanch,
which, they say, can damage
the fabric and cause colors
to fade.
Here are some tips for
washing polyester knits:
Prevent a buildup of soil
by frequent washing. Poly-
ester knit garments should
not be worn more than twice
without washing because od-
ors ding to the fibers and
they readily pick up oily
soil.
The automatic washer
should be only half filled
with polyesters. Overloading
hinders cleaning.
Use the warm water set-
ting to prevent shrinkage.
Also, the garments will re-
turn to their original shape.
For normally soiled dothing
five to six minutes of gentle
agitation time should be suf-
ficient
To the recommended a-
mount of soap or detergent
add one cup of Borateem
Plus, a bleach substitute
which deodorises the doth-
ing and helps keep colors
bright. A add water rinse
will help keep the polyesters
from wrinkling. Use a warm
setting in the dryer and re-
move the garments immedi-
ately after the cyde is com-
pleted. A fabric softener used
as directed will reduce static
ding.

The ne« license, he says,
"would merely insure that
potential parents would be
familiar with the principles of
sound child-rearing "
Presumably, s parent who
violated the principles would
have his permit revoked. In
which esse the familiar road-
side warning that "Speeders
Lose Licenses" might be
changed to "Breeders Lose
Licenses.”
One thing is certain—stand-
ards of parental competency
must be uniform in every state.
Otherwise, people would be
flocking to certain states to
have babies the way they now
flock to some states to get
married and to others to get
divorced.
Mclntire’s article set me to
wondering whether other prob-
lem areas might be Improved
by some sort of licensing
arrangements Old age. for
example
He Doubt at AU
There ts no doubt that,
beyond a certain age. the older
we get the more likely we are
to become burdens to society.
One way to prevent this
might be to require anyone
wishing to live a long time to
get a license to grow old.
We might call it a "Senility
License" and the applicants
must be familiar with the
principles of growing old
gracefully.
Anyone caught doddering
without a license would be
subject to arrest. There are a
number of appropriate penal-
ties that could be imposed on
the guilty parties.
First offenders might have
the rockers on their rocking
chairs removed for two weeks.
Or, if the judge really wanted
to throw the book at him, a
culprit might be sentenced to
six weeks without prune juice.

A final possibility, should

stock such crystals.
If the dtric odd or vine-

Since detergents with 12-

the best cleaning job in hard

to avoid the time-consuming
