AUSTIN (Ji—Prospects for feed
crops, rice, sweet potatoes and
hays, plus pasture condition de-
clined in July as critical drought
conditions spread over most of
Texas, the U.S. Departmnet of
Agriculture has said.
The agency review based on
Aug. 1 conditions said July rainfall
averaged only about 42 per cent
of normal.
The greatest set back of growing
crops and pastures has occurred
from the low Rolling Plains east-
ward, particularly in Central and
East Texas.
"Even the cotton crop in these
central and eastern counties was
hard hit," USDA noted.
On the southern High Plains, dry
land crops have heeld up surpris-
ingly well, but rain is urgently
need. On the High Plains north of
Amarillo, July showers kept feed
crops coming along, and fair to
good yields are in prospect.
Wheat production, estimated at
31,160,000 bushels, is unchanged
from a month ago. Corn prospects
declined, with production now in-
dicated at 35,152,000 bushels.
Combining of the record rice
crop of 15,810,000 equivalent 100-
pound bags was beginning Aug. 1.
Yield prospects per acre dropped
slightly to 2,550 pounds compared
with the record yield of 2.600
pounds per acre indicated a month
ago and harvested last year.
Other crops forecasts: Peanuts
102,500,000 pounds, 43 per cent less
than last year.
Hay, 1,545,000 tons, 9 per cent
below the record 1953 crop.
Pecans, 25 nillion pounds, com-
) mem--
t
Early hay yields were fair to .
good but the winter supply will be
short in central and eastern coun-
ties unless generous fall rains
bring on late cuttings.

Denton County’s agricultural out-
look is "fair" at the present time,
but, as usual, rain is a pressing
need if the crops are to maintain
that status.
Corn and maize, being harvest-
ed at the present time, are sur-
prisingly good. The corn acreage
is lower than in years, but much
of hte crop, especially the bottom-
land corn, is producing the best
harvest in three years. Upland
corn, as usual, suffered from the
late summer drought. Of course,
it will be remembered that corn
was a failure last year.
Cotton prospects, although still
fair to good, are dwindling rapidly
as the hot, dry weather continues.
This is chiefly because much of
the bolls are expected to open
prematurely because of the con-'
tiruous 100-degree heat.
Peanuts, a big money crop in
the sandyland areas of the county,
still look good. They can stand
more hot, dry weather than other
crops, but peanut, growers now
point out that fall rains must ar-
rive soon if the crop is to be a
success. - .

Down On
The Ta rm
By ALLBN BOGAN
In thia day of big city gang
fights, reckless driving, vandalism
and growing restlessness among
our young people, it is certainly
encouraging to know that there
are still many big, strapping,
healthy youths who show good
signs of becoming future leaders
of their communities as well as
successful businessmen.
We have in mind that group of
teen-age Krum boys who have
organized what they call the Krum
Young Citizen Club. Organized or-
iginally because a few of the boys
wanted to clean up unsightly
weeds and trash about town, the
club now has moved on to bigger
projects. After erecting a big "Wel-
come to Krum" sign south of town
and making plans to erect two
more, the club members now are
studying plans for a recreation
hall for Krum young people.
To us, one of .the most encourag-
ing aspects of this youth organiza-
tion is that these young men who
are members of the club are
every bit as rough and tough as
their contemporaries who are mak-
ing newspaper headlines daily with
their reckless and sometimes
criminal escapades. What we mean
is that these Krum boys are not
sissies. They are muscular, well-
conditioned young men who play
football, swim in stock tanks, work
on farms, chop cotton, cut wood,
fish, hunt, handle cattle, milk cows
and perform the countless other
, tasks that help keep our rural
youth healthier than their city

President Buddy Cole and his
“gang" of nearly 30 Young Citizen
Club members don’t have to jump
into their automobiles and tear up
the highway to meet another group
of youths for a gang fight just
to prove they are a powerful or-
ganization. If it really came to a
showdown, I would tak all the
members of the Krum Young Citi-
zen Club and back them in a
fight against a similar number of
buys from any so called “city
tough gang" you could name. . .
Only these Krum boys don’t have
to do that to prove that they are
real men. You can look at them
and realize that here, in a small
but well-knit Denton County com-
munity, is a real, living example
of what our modern-day youth can
and will do if given the opportunity
and the support.

The volume of land sales in
Texas during 1953 dropped sharp-
ly for the third straight year.
Buyers resisted asking prices
based on peak years of agricul-
tural income and general econom-
ic activity, said Economists J. H.
Southern and W. G. Adkins of the
USDA and Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station, respectively.
This resistance, continued the
economists, stemmed from falling
prices of beef cattle, wide spread
drought and impending acreage
allotments and production restric-
tions. ,
Chief land buyers were owner-
operator farmers. Nonagricultural
factors, such as urbanization, po-1
tential mineral values and possible
tax savings, tended to push land
prices upward slightly despite the
generally weak condition of the
market. About two out of every
five bonafide land sales in the
state involved the Veterans Land
Program.

productiveness continued to sell |
