A below - normal wheat yield
for Denton county was forecast
Saturday by G. R. Warren, county
agriculture agent, who explained,
however, that the decrease was
not alarming. Harvesting of the
county's 40,000 to 45,000 acres of
the all - important food • produc-
ing grain is due to get under way
tn June.
Usually cold weather in mid-
winter, followed by a spring

to the decline In wheat acreage.

in the belief that the county wheat ;
crop would fall below the normal,
production. "But the rains last
week were fine for the crop”, Dud-

Most of the wheat will be

added that the county apparently

machines sometimes have been j

Cash farm income in Texas for 1947
set an all - time record that may
not be eoualled in the immediate
future. The Bureau of Business
Research has estimated that Tex-
as cash farm income in 1947 was
51.852.557,000. an Increase of .48 3
per cent over the 51,248,870,000 re-
ceived In 1946.
High prices and large volume of
marketings joined to swell the
amount of cash income, although
the increase was far from uniform
for different products,

Income from coton was un 861
per cent." while cash receipts from
the sale of cottonseed increased
135 per cent.
Livestock Sales Up
Cash re-e’ots Iron livestock
sales rose s>'bstantls’’y. Income
from hogs was up 103 per cent:
cattle, 29 per cent; and calves. 26
per cent. Sheep and lambs, with
an increase of only 5 per cent, pro-
duced the smallest rise in Income
from livestock.
Income from wool, mohair, poul-
try and eggs was down, but the big-
gest decline occurred In fruits and
vegetables. Lower prices were
largely responsible for this drop,
which brought income down 18 per
cent from the 1946 level.
For the first quarter of 1948. how-
ever. a pronounced change has
taken place. With the sharp drop
in prices of farm products. Income
of important categories fell sub-
stantially below the first quarter
of 1947. Cash receipts from the

The land utilisation project con-
sists of 30.000 acres of Wise coun- ■
ty land, purchased by the SoU Con-
servation Service between 1938 and
1541. The land is located In the
badly eroded Cross - Timbers
section, which has been revegetat-
ed chiefly by planting various
types of native grasses
Since the Soil Conservation Serv
ice has taken over the land, good
recovery baa been made in lhe
areas so badly eroded by down-
stream siltation. it was explained
by Mack McConnell, chief of the
Denton - Wise and Hood - Parker
soil conservation districts.
Revegetation work of the SCS

carried by Denton Creek on the
east and Brushy creek on the west.
McConnell said. Over 10,000 acres
of rich bottom lands along these
two creeks had been partially
ruined by sand from the eroded
Cross - Timbers section before the
soil conservation service stated
its project.
Some of the pasture land on
the utilisation project is rented
to farmers and stockmen who need
more pasture. In thia way, over-
grazing of nearby areas is halted
and soil erosion subsequently con-
trolled.
