FAR WEST TEXAS
COTTON QUALITY
REPORT
Cotton market ac-
tivity on the El Paso
markets continued
slow during the week
ending December 19,
1985, according to the
Agricultural Marketing
Service of the U. S.
Department of Agri-
culture. The late har-
vest slowed but made
fair progress under
good weather condi-
tions.
Trading for current
cotton was very light
and supplies were
more than adequate to
meet demand. The Mar.
New York Futures No.
2 contract on grade 41,
staple 34, mike 35 to
49 settlement price
was 61.23 cents on
December 20, down
43 points from the
previous week.
Garland N. Dye, Area
Director of the El Pa-
so Marketing Services
Office, reported that
134,900 samples of Up-
land cotton had been
classed through Decem-
ber 19, of that total
48,700 were from West
Texas growers.
Sixty-eight-hundred
samples were classed
this week, of that total
grade 31 was the predo-
minant grade at 32 per-,
cent. Grade 41 was 22 per-
cent, grade 42 was 12 per-
cent, grade 32 was 10 per-
cent and grade 21 was
eight percent of the to-
tal. Staple 34 was the
predominant fiber length
at 47 percent, staple 35
was 37 percent, staple 33
was 10 percent and staple
36 was five percent of the
totaL Mike readings of 35
to 34 was 14 percent, 30
to 32 was 11 percent, 27 to
29 was seven percent of
the total. The average fi-
ber strength reading for
the week was 24.75 grams
per tex.
The global cotton out-
look for 1985-86 features
a record supply, a weak
growth in demand and low
prices. For the second con-
secutive year, prospective
- production is well in ex-
cess of total use, pointing
to a further build up in
stocks.
Acting Park Superintendent
Bob Crisman stated that he
believes the public will sup-
port the new fees which are
still lower than at most priv-
ately owned and operated show
caves, and are also lower
than at a number of other
national park areas.
The fee revenues collected
at the national parks helps
offset the cost of operating
and maintaining park fac-
ilities. Park officials have
also indicated that many vis-
itors have commented about
the previous fee rates at the
park being too low, and be-
lieve that the new fees are
still a bargain when com-
pared to the cost of other
recreational activities.
NEW FEES TO GO INTO EFFECT AT CARLSBAD CAVERNS
JANUARY 3
The National Park Service
has announced that new fees
will go into effect at Carls-
bad Caverns National Park
on Jan. 3.
The new rates for the main
developed cavern will be $3
for adults and $2 for those
ages 6 through 15. At New
Cave, the new fee will be
$4 for adults and $3 for thosp
ages 15 and below. Children i
under 6 and qualifying educa-
tional groups and medical
therapy groups will still be
admitted free.
A 50 percent discount is
given to holders of Golden
Age Passports which are av-
ailable to U.S. citizens age
62 and over, and to holders
cf Golden Access Passports wl
which are available to the
handicapped.
The last adjustment in user
fees at Carlsbad Caverns
National Park was made in
April 1983.
/I
He spent only 22 years on earth, but it was enough time to
do enough good to qualify him for sainthood.
He was Rrince Vaclav of Bohemia, a 10th-century Christian
ruler of a part-pagan nation; the Church later made him a
saint.
Vaclav was a well-educated young man whose grandmother
led him to Christ. Yet as was his country, so was his house
divided; his own mother and brother became leaders in Bo-
hemia’s anti-Christian party and violently opposed him.
In fact it was Vaclav’s mother who conspired to have his
Christian grandmother murdered.
The deed was accomplished by two nobles from the opposing
party, but the Prince had no trouble discovering his mother’s
guilt. He would have been justified in having her executed.
He sent her into exile instead -- and even reconciled with
her later on.
That’s how good was Good Prince Vaclav.
Then it was his brother's turn. His brother was a hot-headed
young man who had always been jealous of him. And it was
in the summer of 929 that he plotted to assassinate the ftince.
First the brother invited Vaclav to his home to celebrate a
religious feast. The plan was to kill Vaclav at the end of the
banquet. But something went wrong and the opportunity was
missed.
The next opportunity was the next day. The morning of Sept-
ember 28 the Prince went to attend Mass in a small church
nearby. It is said that he never missed a day’s Mass, not even
when fighting wars.
His brother confronted him at the chapel door.
Vaclav once again thanked him for his hospitality of the
night before.
It is recalled that his brother said: "Yesterday, I did my best
to serve you fittingly, but this must be my service today. "
And he struck the Prince in the head.
The brother’s henchmen finished the job.
As he was dying, Vaclav begged God's forgiveness for his
brother.
But it was more than martyrdom that one day won Prince Vac-
lav his sainthood. For when he was not battling rebel relatives
and heathen nobles he was striving to civilize his native land.
He sought friendly relationships with neighbor nations. His
personal industriousness served as a shining example for his sub-
jects.
He devoted himself particularly to reforming the Bohemian
judicial system. He ordered many gallows destroyed and prisons
closed and brought the number of death sentences nationally
to an all-time low.
"May the love of peace at home and abroad animate the
country, " he said.
And his people listened.
Posterity honored him, not only with sainthood, but with a
song — a Christmas carol which mistakenly refers to him as
a "king. "
For the good prince known by homelanders as "Vaclav" —
was the real — the original — Good King Wenceslas.
And that is . • • oh, one thing more •. •> Saint Wenceslas
had a hobby.
If you judge how often he did it, it was his favorite hobby.
He beat up peasants.
All the Time.
No, really! he invited them over for dinner and beat them
up!
And now you know THE REST OF THE STORY.
