countries in 1955. Farm exports
are expected to increase next

“The recent amendments to the
Social Security Act extend cov-

January 1, 1955,” according to
Glenn T. Dunn, manager of the
Tyler social security office. Dunn
said the newly covered profes-
sions include farmers, funeral di-

Korean GI insurance need not
necessarily be the date you ap-
ply. You can specify that the in-

Q. I spent four years as a cadet
in the U. S. Military Academy at
West Point. Will that count, in

A. No. Under the law, time
spent as a cadet or midshipman
in a service academy may not be
counted in computing Korean GI
Bill training eligibility.

one found them before it was too
late.
The burning of any fuel that
contains carbon may produce
carbon monoxide. This is true of
coal, coke, wood, oil, kerosene,
gasoline and such gaseous fuels
as natural or manufactured gas.
Last year seven Texans died of
carbon monoxide poisoning, two
of them in automobiles.
All heating equipment should
be vented to a flue. Keep all
rooms ventilated. Do not turn the
heater higher than it was intend-
ed to run. Never leave gas heat-
ing appliances burning while you
and your family are asleep. Reg-
ulate adjustable air-mixing valves
so that enough air is supplied to
insure complete combustion of the
gas.
If a person is overcome by car-
bon monoxide they should first
be removed to fresh air. In addi-
tion open windows and turn off
the gas in the room. If the vic-
tim has stopped breathing, ad-
minister artificial respiration and
if possible an inhalator should be
used to administer oxygen. Keep

rians and counselors now are em-
ployed in schools serving the
state's rural areas.
These are findings of a study
by Dr. R. L. Skrabanek, profes-
sor of agricultural economics and
sociology at Texas A&M College.
Studies were made of schools in
Castro, Schleiher, Lynn, Burleson
and Tyler counties.
Attendance of students in the
five counties was 92.9 per cent, a
record which will be hard to im-
prove in the future, Dr. Skra-
banek notes.
Pupil-teacher ratios have been
reduced to less than 25 students
for each classroom teacher. The
survey showed the average rural
teacher has 12 years classroom
experience.
Cost of a rural education has
risen in recent years $242 for each
student compared with $217, the
state average.
Ccnsolidation accounts for the
large reduction in number of
of schools. "One of the most com-
mon arguments against consoli-
dation is that some children spend
too much time riding buses and
they are unable to take advantage
of available educaticn facilities,”
says Dr. Skrabanek. The validity
of this belief also was tested.
He found that although non-
transported students had better
attendance records and slightly
higher grades than transported
students, no relationship was !
found between distance students
were carried and their class- j
room performances.
Complete findings of the survey :
are given in Rural Education in
Transition, bulletin 783, and is
available from the Agricultural
Information Office, College Sta-
tio.

months, reports McHaney. In the
1953-54 marketing year exports
topped $2,9000,000,00, compared
with $2,800,000,000 for the pre-
vious year. This was roughly 30
per cent under the peak estab-
lished in 1951-52.
"Healthier foreign markets are
not a cure for this country's sur-
plus problem, but will give
strength to our total marketing
position," McHaney concludes.

era have a red letter day Tues-
day, Dec. 14. That day growers
will decide whether marketing
quotas will continue in effect on
the 1955 crop, Claude K. MeCan,
chairman of the state ASC com-
mittee reminds farmers.
"The decision will affect every
cotton grower and it’s important
that each cast a ballot," says Mc-
Can. All farmers who grew up-
land cotton this year will be eligi-
ble to vote in the referendum,
which will be held in each up-
land cotton growing county in
Texas. At least two-thirds of the
growers voting in the nationwide
poll must approve the quota if
they are to continue, he explains.
The vote follows the secretary
of agriculture's proclamation of
a national marketing quota and
acreage allotments for the '55
crop. Such a proclamation must
be made under the law when the
prospective “total supply” of
cotton exceeds the "normal sup-
ply."
Under the marketing quota pro-
gram, growers who do not exceed
their acreage allotment may mar-
ket free of penalty the entire
crop from the farm. Growers ex-
ceeding their allotments will be
subject to penalties of 50 per
cent of parity on the farm’s ex-
cess production.
If farmers approve the referen-
dum, the price support on cotton
to eligible growers will be be-
tween 82.5 and 90 per cent of
parity.

Foreign cotton supplies are ‘
smaller than a year ago making '
larger shipments from the U. S.
likely. Wheat and sorghum grain 1
exports are expected to rise from
relatively low levels of last year.
Reduced foreign production is re-
sponsible.
A stronger demand abroad for
fruits and fruit products coupled
with larger U. S. supplies also
point to stepped-up exports. Oils,
fats and oilseed shipments will
continue large also.
The Agricultural Trade Devel-
opment and Assistance Act of
1954 will stimulate further agri-
cultural shipments. Under the
act foreign nations may purchase!

Austin—Continued as ate food
conditions in the Hill country plus
high population rates have prompt-
ed expanding of the 1954 anter-
less deer harvest in three Texas
counties.
The Director of Wildlife Resto-
ration for the Game and Fish
Commission said present plans
are to issue in excess of three
thousand permits for anterless
deer.
Last fall when the taking of
antlerless deer was introduced
into two counties as a means of
reducing overpopulation and bal-
ancing herds, 1136 permits were
issued with a harvest of 946 head.
These were taken in Mason and
Gillespie counties. Llano county
since has joined the area from
which both buck and doe deer
may be taken.
Meanwhile, it was emphasized
that persons interested in the spe-
cial harvest should contact the
Chamber of Commerce in Fred-
ericksburg for Gillespie County,
Mason for Mason County and
Llano for Llano County.
While the special antlerless
deer harvest is supervised by
Commission technicians, all ar-
rangements are made on the local
level and all permits are process-
ed through ranchers and land-
owners.
The final allotment of permits
for this fall will be determined
at county-wide meetings in each
of the counties. The actual figure
will be based on population
counts which are delayed until
the last minute to allow the great-
est possible harvest to avoid ex-
treme herd die-offs this winter.
Wildlife technicians said inter-
est in the special antlerless hunt
is such that all permits doubt-
less will be taken.
Dates of the actual hunt are
from December 1-15 inclusive.
