On basis of partial reports, the Texas
Almanac estimates total value of min-
erals produced in 1942 was more
than one billion dollars. While pe-
troleum, natural gas and natural gas-
oline counted for most of the produc-
tion, Texas would rank high among
the states without the oil group.
During the last two years, there has
been rapid increase in the number of
minerals produced in Texas in 1942
there was commercial output of more
than sixty different kinds.
Next to the greatly increased man-
ufaetudring and mining production,
military activity has had the most
notable effect on recent Texas de-
velopments. While reasons of milita-
ry secrecy prevents release of some
information, the new Texas Almanac
lists twenty-two major Army camps,
in addition to which there are more
than fifty Army aviation fields. At
San Antonio and Corpus Christi, the
Army and Navy have, respectively,
their greatest sir training centers.
While the chapters on military ac-
tivities and industrial expansion are
the principal items of current inter-
est, the new Texas Almanac is essen-
tially the all-round reference book
that it has been, ranging through the
whole field of Texas’ historical, civic
and economic data. The date of the
battle of the Alamo, the cotton pro-
duction of Jones County, the name of
the State Comptroller, the number of
deer killed in Texas in 1942 and
thousands of other classes of infor-
mation is a* widely diversified fields
can be found on its pages.
The Texas Almanac is a biennial
publication, and the new volume is
for the two years, 1943 and 1944. It
is bound in paper at 40c on nei
stands, 74c by mail; also in cloth at
91 on news stands and $1.26 by mail.

has been transferred from
some other part of ths
farm people, the land by which they
earn thsiir living is mors than s pUce
to make a living; it is a way of life.
To them, the Und itself, through its
productiveness*, means freedom from
want. Th* land, so long as it is theirs
means freedom from fear. The way
of life on the farm also signifies the
freedom to worship and spask as they
wish. To keep thsir Und productive
so they can have prosperity and hap-
piness, is th* freedom farm people
want. All other things depend on
that. That’s why farm and ranch
people ar* investing all they can in
War Bonds—to help win th* war and
build AnancUl reserves to kssp their
Und and thsir farms productive in
th* future. That’s why they’re also
investing in War Bonds to pay for
education of th* children, illness and
hospital bills, and to buy farm and
horn* equipment. Help kssp th* four
freedoms on your farm by investing
