Natural gas is one item in the family budget
which, on the average, costs no more now than it did
20 to 30 years ago. We believe you’ll
agree it’s worth much more than it costs today.
Consider its familiar, every-day use in making coffee
..". you can still make six cups of coffee or
i sixty, in a big commercial urn, for less than
a penny’s worth of fuel when you use
natural gas. Stop to think of all the
wonderful services gas performs in your
home, and you, too. will say,
“Natural gas in the Gulf South is worth
much more than it costs today.”

READY EXPLANATION
The foreman of a gang of
carpenters was a very stern
man. He was especially rough
on anyone he thought was ly-
ing down on the job.
One day Ole, a good-natur-
ed Swede, stepped too close
to an open elevator shaft and
fell in. His horrified compan-
ions peered down into the
shaft, expecting to see Oles
shattered remains. Instead
they heard his voice booming
up:
“Hey, Fallers, is the boss
mad? Tell him I had to come
down anyway for nails.”
HEALTHY PERSONALITIES
AND THE HOME
All parents want their chil-
dren to develop into healthy
personalities. Eloise Johnson,
family life education special-
ist with the Texas Agricultu-
ral Extension Service, explains
that personality is the term
used to describe the whole
person, is made up of an in-
herited basic structure plug the
effects of training, knowledge,
experiences and information
plus family and community re-
lationships and experiences.
The first factor in a healthy
personality is the inherited ba-
sic structure. Physical, emo-
tional and nervous systems and
patterns can be changed very
little. The big job is to realize
this and help children to ac-
cept this fact. Lead them to
live with themselves so they
can grow into healthy person-
alities.
Much can be done’about the
second factor in building per-
sonalities. Mrs. Johnson sug-
gests that children be given
wide opportunities in the
home, school, church and com-
munity to get sound practical
training, experience, knowl-
edge and understanding for
the real tasks of living. This
leads into the third factor, re-
lationship with others. This
two-way relationship is first
experienced in the home. Fam-
ily members continue to be the
most important group which
influences personality.

A. The law requires that

problem. At this time of year,
the number of non-layers tends
to increase, especially among
old hens. Watch carefully for
these birds. When they stop
laying, remove them from the
flock immediately.
Once non-layers have been
removed, it is best to crate-
feed them. This way, a raiser
fattens the birds faster and
readies them for quick, profit-
able marketing. These birds
fatten faster this way because
of the lack of exercise.
Cull your birds wisely and
market surplus cockerels, pul-
lets, and-non-layers. This will
help to show a better profit

from income at the end of the

SOIL TESTING LAB
A BUSY PLACE
The soil testing laboratory
operated by the Agricultural
Extension Service of the Texas
A&M College System has
been a busy place during the
past year. According to M. K.
Thornton, agricultural chemist
and in charge of the lab, 9,-
550 soil samples have been
analyzed.
He says the number of
sapiples submitted has stead-
ily increased since the lab was
opened on Nov. 1, 1950. De-
terminations made by the lab-
oratory include the amount of
organic matter, nitrogan (com-
puted), soil reaction, available
phosphoric acid, available pot-
ash, available lime and soluble
salts for each sample. Rec-
ommendations for best land
use based upon the soil analy-
sis are returned to the sender

Home Freezing
Of Fresh Peaches
Although the Texas peach
crop is below normal, reports
show that peaches will be
plentiful in other parts of the
nation. Indications are there
will be peaches on the local
markets but at higher prices
than last season.
Now is the time to make
plans for including peaches in
the family canning budget.
Food specialists with the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice point out that ceiling
prices have been taken off
canned fruits, which may mean
higher prices. In view of this,
homemakers may find it prof-
itable to preserve a supply of
peaches. a
Here are suggestions from
the specialists, on freezing
peaches:

SELL SURPLUS CHICKENS
PROMPTLY FOR PROFIT
Poultry-raisers continually
face the problem ef disposing
of surplus cockerels, pullets,
and undesirable layers. It re-
quires considerable “doing” to
utilize these surplus birds and
realize their full value.
Whatever the age may be,
iis soon as sex can be detect-
ed, cockerels should be sepa-
rated from the pullets. How-
ever, they should never be de-
nied the feed they need—this
would be a poor policy. Give
cockerels best-quality starting
and growing mashes.
Selling as Broilers
The weight . of cockerels
more or less determines when
they should be sold. Watch
both the birds and the market
carefully. If the market is fa-
vorable, perhaps the birds can
be disposed of as broilers.
This is the logical time to sell
because most raisers need the

The wife’s cousin Ben, and Belle
his bride are back from honey-
mooning in the Rockies. Took them
to dinner last night at the Garden
Tavern. Ben told about the trip:
“Went through n town in Idaho
that was only 100 feet wide. No
kidding! Built into a long, narrow
canyon. And it shares those 100
feet with a railroad track that
runs right through the hotel!
“To get gas there we had to
park right on the tracks. Suddenly
Belle screams—‘there’s a train
coming!’ But the gas fellow just
laughs and say- we were there
first. Blamed if the engineer didn't
stop the train and wait, too!”
From where I sit, it’s a good
illustration of how people can
learn to “think of the other fel-
low” so that the community bene-
fits. Railroaders and townspeople.
Democrats and Republicans,
malted milk fanciers and those
who prefer a temperate glass of
beer—we all have to share the
same space. Let’s maintain our
