AUSTIN. — State draft quotas
continued to slide downward Tues-
day with receipt of a July call for
1,268 men at state Selective Ser-
vice headquarters.
The June quota, received about
a month ago, is 1,749, as compared
to a May quota of- 2,823, now al-
most filled. The July figure is the
smallest quota received in Texas
since September, 1952.
Lieutenant Colonel Morris S.
Schwartz, deputy state director of
Selective Service, said local board
quotas for July will be placed in
the mail by June 1.
Less than 50 of the 137 local
boards in Texas will receive phy-
sical examination calls in July,
Colonel Schwartz said. Only 1,125
men are scheduled to be sent for
physicals in July.
This figure compares with 3,803
scheduled for physical exams in
June and 4,858 in May. The depu-
ty state director said that local
board quotas for July physicals
are scheduled to be mailed May
27 th.
Instructions were received from
Selective Service national head-
quarters to fill the July call with
men 20 years old or older where
possible. Boards \are authorized,

where necessary, to fill calls with
men under 20.
Currently, one man out of every
four being inducted in Texas is
under 20 years old, but most of
these are nearing their 20th birth-
day. Colonel Schwartz predicted
that the number of 19-year-olds in-
ducted in June and July will be
reduced because of the lighter
quotas.
No men born after March, 1934,
can be inducted in July. Local
boards getting a July physical
call can dip down to men who
have reached their 19th birthday.
“Water for Texas” to
Be Theme at Fair
Agriculture Show
“Water for Texas” will be the.
timely theme of the Agriculture
Show at the 1953 State Fair of
Texas, October 10 thru 25, E. C.
Inglish, the fair’s agriculture chair-
man, has announced.
The show will take the form of
a gigantic, three-dimensional “Ag-
riculturama” that will show how
Texas farmers are meeting tiieir
important water resources prob-
lems, he revealed.
A huge central exhibit will fea-
ture od Mother Nature herself,
turning the crank on a “weather
machine” that will cause simulated
rain, thunder and lightning at in-
tervals. The hydrological cycles—
what happens to water after it
falls as rain and how it is return-
ed to the air again—will be por-
trayed. The rainfall belt in Texas
will be illustrated to show the re-
lation of water to farming and
ranching on a statewide basis.
The Texas A&M College Exten-
sion Service will again cooperate
with the fair in setting up indivi-
dual exhibits for each of the 12
Extension districts of the state.
Water will also be featured in the
district exhibits, which will be big-
ger and designed; to give a realis-
tic impression of great depth, Mr.
ngEsh said.
There will be a greater variety
and quantity of farm products on
display; all district exhibits will
feature principal crops grown.
“Water was chosen as the cen-
tral theme for the show because
it is one of the most important
single factors in today’s agricul-
tural economy, particularly in Tex-

“Many people don’t realize the
vast quantity of water required to
produce farm crops, or the enor-
mous amount that just one plant
consumes in growing to maturity.
Many Texans also have little no-
tion of the importance of irriga-
tion to farmers in some sections
of the state. Texas actually ranks
second in the nation in areas un-
der irrigation,” Mr. Inglish pointed
out.
The show will also include exhi-
bits showing the work of Texas
Technological College, Four - H
Clubs, Future Farmers and Future
Homemakers and Negro Extension
workers.
The state fair for the past two
years has featured a “Story Book
