These new regulations would
be applicable to interstate
commerce. However, recent
court decisions indicate that
the interstate commerce clause
applies to anything and every-
thing which might at some
time enter interstate commer-
ce. All agricu’tural products
could, of course, be included
in this category. Also, if the
federal government adopts
such regulations, it is just a
matter of time until we have
similar state regulations - this
seems to be the pattern.
To be successful in this at-
tempt to stop adoption of the
proposed regulations, Texas
Farm Bureau is asking all peo-
ple interested in agriculture to

tary, U. S. Department of

We are faced with ‘Federal
Regu’ation of Farm Truck
Driver Qualifications’ if we
don’t do something about it
now. Proposed U. S. Depart-
ment of Transportation regul-
ations relating to farm truck
driver qualifications will be-
come effective on July 1, 1971
- unless we can convince the
Department of Transportation
that its proposed regulations
are totally illogical as they
would apply to agriculture.
Proposed regu’ations would in-
clude the
ments for
trucks:
1. Be at
age.
2. Carry
feuted by a physician during
.the preceding 24
evidencing fitness to
truck
3. Pass
operation.
4. Take
ation on
Vehicle
5. If th" driver is
ployee of a farmer, he must
supply the farmer with evid-
ence of compliance with the
four preceding requirements,
plus an application for em-
ployment which shall disclose
traffic violations and disposi-
tion thereof, p us an annual
supplementary statement re-
lating to traffic violations.
6. A far me- who employs a
driver would be required to
“verify” the driver’s driving
record - and to maintain for
each driver a file containing
items 1-5 above plus a record
Having announced my candi-
dacy for Cotulla School Trus-
tee. Position No. 6, I invite
your serious consideration of
my qualifications and readiness
to serve the community. It will
be my sincere endeavor to ad-
vance compatibility in working
relationships, to support those
policies which will insure each
child of equal opportunity, and
to promote consistency and
impartia’ity toward all. I
pledge to adhere to my con-
victions rega"dless of adverse
pressures and to strive for ex-
! cellence in our acadenvc pro-
: gram so that our children may
achieve the highest degree of
benef it from the education
offered them.
I Your vote on April 3rd will
. be appreciated.

Study the sampling instruc-

with soil sampling before
going to the field. Samples
should be taken from 10 to 15
different spots in each field.
' Established sods should be
sampled to a depth of 3 to 4
inches, cultivated land to plow

and send about a pint to test-
ing laboratory in the boxes
provided. Do not use a galvan-
ized bucket or sampling tool,
