Agronotnist To
Speak In Canada
Dr. I. M Atkins, agronomist of
the Denton Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, was to be one of th.
guest speakers at an international
meeting of small grain breeders
this week in Winnipeg. Canada.
The meeting opened Monday and
will continue through Wednesday.
Dr. Atkins has been experiment-
ing with small grains for years at
the Denton station. One of his chief
goals has been the development of
rust resistant grains adaptable to
the North-Central Texas area. He

The number of fruit trees in
Texas is at an all-time low. That
word comes from Al Petty, Coun-
ty Agent, and he credits the un-
favorable weather of the past few
years as the major cause
Moisture conditions, over much
of the state, are now favorable Mr
Jruit tree planting and the speci-
alist adds, the future for fruit pro-
duction looks good from either the
home or commercial orchard stand-
point.
Selecting the orchard site is of
-prime importance, says Petty. He
says avoid a site where the soil is
infested with nematodes or land
that has recently been cleared and
old orchards. The land should be
been named “man of the year in

“The maxim 'in unity there is

ed. “The people in the rural areas
of the state who depend upon the
soil, either directly or indirectly,
for a living must band together to
protect their common interests in
an expanding industrial economy.

Urgently as we need good farm-
ers nowadays, it is a shame to
see them forced off the farm.
Farming is important because food
and fibre are necessary to the
defense effort as well as the very
existence of our nation. We must
not lose sight of the fact that on-
ly about 15 per cent of the entire
U.S. population is located on the
farm. In other words, 15 per cent
of the people are raising the food
and fibre necessary for the oth-
er 85 per cent to live on—in ad-
dition to supplying our armed forc-
es. We cannot afford further reduc-
tions in the number of farmers—
nor in our farms.

of mine returned last week from
New Orleans, where they attend-
ed the horse races at the Fair
Grounds track. They noticed a
horse name Bogan running in the
third race on Saturday. “Natural-
ly, we bet on him—oo the nose,"
they said. "We didn't think Bogan
would win, but his odds were pret-
ty good—11 to 1.”
Well, to make long story short.
Bogan won the race. But he was
caught committing a foul and dis-
qualified by the judges. So or
friends didn't collect. And they
came back home mad at me! I
tried to tell them that Bogan (the
horse) wasn’t to blame for cut-
ting over on the other horses—it
was his jockey's fault. But they
still blamed the horse—and me.

The effects ot the drought of
the last two years have been more .
far-reaching than most of us rea-
lize. The results of the two dry,
lean years will be felt for years
to come. We all have heard at mal-
nutrition in livestock and the re-
sulting deaths, especially among
stocker cattle. And we hear of
many farms being sold. Well, Den-
ton County is seeing both herd re-
ductions and loss of farms.

A number of Denton County Far-
mers have given up the battle, sold
out and moved to the eity. Some
have taken jobs st defense plants,
others are carpenters end1 others
take odd jobs—anything at which
they can make a living. For in-
stance, H. O. Harris, co-ordinator
of the Denton County Vocational
School, reports that the veterans
vocational agriculture classes have
seen several students drop out since
fall because they were forced to
sell their farms and move away. ..

where they are to be grown. In

Thornton says the demand for
fertilizers is expected to be heavy.
To make sure that the desired
grades will be • available when
needed, he recommends they be
bought early and stored on the
farm.
He calls attention to the annual
State Fertilizer Conference which
will be held in the Memorial Stu-
dent Center at Texas A&M Col-
lege on January M. Fertilizer sup-
plies and how best to use them
