Needlessly Yearly
AUSTIN, July 10 —The
public health committee of the Texas
planning board has issued a state-
ment that more than 17,000 Texans
die needlessly yearly. Last year,
they said, more than that number
succumbed to diseases which are
preventable.
AUSTIN. July 10 -<P>— The state
department of agriculture believes
the Texas fig industry could be ex-
panded with care in selection of set-
ting stock such as in areas now pro-
ducing the fruit commercially.
Commercial production is con-
fined largely to the Houston, San
Antonio, and Beaumont areas. The
magnolia fig, especially suitable for
canning, is the main crop in the
Houston-Beaumont areas while the
Smyrna fig dominates in the San
Antonio territory.
The department said
areas around El Paso also produce I
a fine fig.
