Set This Year
Only one date has been sch-
eduled1 for vaccinating dogs a-
gainst rabies this year, it was
announced last week by Dr. F.
L. Gunn, local veterinarian.
Dr. Gunn will vaccinate dogs
all day Saturday, March 30, at
the La Grange Veterinary Hos-
pital. Response to the dog vac-
cination program met with tre-
mendous response in the neigh-
boring town of Smithville where
Dr. Gunn vaccinated 232 dogs.
This year, unlike previous
years, Dr. Gunn will n<t visit
the outlying communities for the
purpose of vaccinating dogs and
invites dog owners to bring
their canines to La Grange Sat-
urday for vaccinating.

Richard Vently, orthinologist
and Boy Scout executive from
Yoakum, talked to the La
Grange Rotary Club last week
on the migration of birds and
explained some of the theories as
to the why but npi the how of
migration.
He also spoke of the work be-
ing done by the banding of birds,
thus learning their flyways,
places of nesting and places of
wintering.
The speaker was the guest of
Donald Dopslauf, program chair-
man for the day.
Joe V. Kana announced that
the Little League dinner would
be held on March 26 at the VFW
Hall and proceeds would go to
fixing up and maintaining the

deeply disturbed over the lack
of money available for building
G. I. homes. The interest rate
now set by law at 4X6 per cent
is in competition with the gov-
ernment’s so-called “hard mo-
no/’ policy, under which most
interest rates have increased.
The FHA loans are now 5 per
cent, and at 4X6 per .cent the G.
I. paper Just won’t move. The
problem which confronts us is
whether to raise the G. I. rate to
place it in line with FHA and
other similar paper, or whether
to lower the other rates down to
the present G. I. 4X6 per cent.
The matter was supposed to be
considered by the House
week, but it proved to be
complicated that additional time
is needed for study.
The Banking and
Committee is considering
over-all housing program
trying to find the best means to
ease the present situation. This
may take quite some time be-
cause of its relation to general
banking and credit policies,,
which are being eyed very crit-
ically by many experts in this
field of our economy. Under the
circumstances, I am inclined to
wait and see what the Banking
and Currency ..will
report'before voting to increase
interest rates on G. I. loans.
However, if the increase appears
to be the only possible means of
assisting home builders and buy-
ers, I will vote accordingly.

which would bar the shipping of
any cattle out of the State. This,
as you can well realize, would
be disastrous to the livestock in-
dustry. I trust that those who
are interested in the livestock
industry, and everyone should
be, will become concerned about
this situation immediately. In
addition to the possibility of this
quarantine, it will also mean
that all of our livestock auction
rings will be forced to close. I
have been working around the
clock on this matter here in Aus-
tin and will appreciate hearing
from you folks in reference to it.
The Senate voted this week to
reorganize the Insurance Com-
mission of Texas along the lines
of our State Highway Depart-
ment, meaning that the Com-
missioners would be part-time
members (just as the Highway
Commissioners) with a full-time
Executive Director or Commis-
sioner of Insurance. This has
been brought about because of
the many, many unfavorable re-
ports about which you have all
read in recent years with refers
ence to-the handling of insur-
ance matters. It is everyone's de-
sire to see the insurance situa-
tion in Texas stablized at an ear-
ly date, and it is my hope and
belief that this measure will ac-
complish its purpose.
Debate on the egg bill was not
completed this week, but should
be at an early date to bring into
existence an egg grading and la-
beling law acutely needed in
Texas. Presentely we are the on-
ly state in the union not having
such a law.
One more item about which so
many of you have written me is
Senate Bill 56 that proposes to
increase the truck load limit to
72,000 pounds. This bill was
placed in a sub-committee of the
Transportation Committee for
more detailed study. I have re-
ceived more letters in opposition
to this bill than on any other
matter that has come before the
Senate thus far.
It is hard in a short space to
cover everything, so if there is
some matter in which you are
particularly interested that has
not been mentioned in this col-
umn, I will be most happy to
bring you up to date on it by
personal letter if you will let
me know.

Dear Editor and Friends:
This week I would like to
mention to you a very serious
problem facing the livetsock in-
dustry in Texas. It seemed that
January 1, 1957 was the dead-
line for Texas to begin a parti-
cipation program with the Fede-
ral Government on the eradica-
tion of brucellosis, or “Bang’s
disease*' in livestock. Because
of previous difficulties, the bud-
get for taking care of this pro-
gram has not been set up; there-
fore, Texas is now living on bor-
rowed time in reference to this
program. Unless something is
done, it is altogether possible
that the entire State of Texas
will be put under a quarantine

the President to pinpoint items
in his budget request which
could be reduced. We passed the
Resolution in good faith, be-
cause the President had asked
for the largest peacetime budget
in history and then stated that it
was too much. Therefore, we
feel we are entitled, to know in
particular where he has. asked
for more than he should have.
In the meantime, the Congress
is proceeding to do some cutting
of its own as it has in past years.
Reducing the budget should be
a mutual effort shared by the
executive and legislative bran-
ches of the government.
The compromise on corn legis-
lation which I predicted in this
letter last week finally mater-
ialized—to a certain point. Right
up to the final vote in the House
of Representatives it looked as
though the compromise would
pass. However, the members
were thoroughly confused over
the issues and resentful of the
seemingly endless controversy;
and on the final roll call the
House, for the first time in many
years, defeated a major piece of
farm legislation. This action
demonstrated the necissity for
those of us interested in agricul-
ture both here and at home to
agree among ourselves and al-
ways present a united front.
In the Agriculture Committee
we are now studying the long
range cotton program. As al-
ways in recent years, we face
the dangerous fight of the large

,the family farmers. We
heard testimony from the
Texas producers, cotton
changes and merchants,
member of Congress. Next week
we expect to hear from more
dirt farmers.
Our Committee expects to
make several general studies
concerning Important phases of
agriculture. Included will be the
development of more foreign
markets and Increased interna-
tional trade in agriculture; the
national forest program; price
spread between producers and
consumers; improved preie sup-
port and regulatory programs;
and drought conditions.
