Crimson clover will usually pro-
vide the most benefit per acre on
our better upland soils. For bottom-
land pasture, S-1 white clover will
provide almost year-round grazing.
Vetch is the test legume for deep
sand, badly eroded land and land of
low fertility.
Since grasses get hungry, now is
the best time to feed them. The best
way to know what plant food is
needed and how much, is by using
a soil test. In the absence of a
soil test, apply 300 pounds of 6-24-24
now. Research has shown that fall
applications of fertilizer have out-
produced 300 pounds of 10-20-10 ap-
plied in the spring.

ACTIVE TRAINING CERTAIN-
Those 3,400 Texas National Guards-

Major Gen. Thomas S. Bishop of
the Texas National Guard said the
intensive training program is nec-
essary because for the past year
there have been no vacancies in
training centers in which to place
the Guardsmen.

Austin—Grocery bills of Texans
are increasing. And there isn’t
much anybody can do about ti ex-
cept shop more thriftily.
That’s Gov. John Connally's con-
clusion after studying a special
committee’s report on food prices.
While the cost of market-basket
items is going up faster here than
the nation as a whole, food still is
a bargain, the committee advised.
Connally requested the study by
representatives of the University of
Texas, A&M University and Texas
Technological College.
These conclusions highlighted the
report:
Consumer food costs in Texas dur-
ing the last two years jumped 10.5
per cent, compared with 3.7 per
cent for the nation. Retailers’ mar-
ket-basket costs rose 6.8 per cent
here, compared with the U. S. aver-
age of 6.4 per cent.
Today the average Texas family
of four spends $1,134 a year for
groceries. This is $108 more than
two years ago. Nationwide food-
basket cost rose $89, for a total ex-
penditure of $1,116 a year.
An overall price increase of 12.5
per cent for Texas farm products
the past year (September to Sep-
tember) contributed to 71 per cent
of the hike in retail food prices.
Net profit levels of food retailers
actually declined fractionally from
1.91 per cent of gross sales in 1964

to 1.63 per cent this year. Increas-
ed labor and equipment costs were
cited as major contributing factors.
Farm prices, which lagged for 17
years, began to move forward the
last two years, and consumer de-
mand exceeded farm supplies.
National growth and economic
development, together with infla-
tionary price rises in all items, were
held basically responsible for the
long-term upward trend in food
prices.
Connally found no special legis-
lation or executive action warrant-
ed. He pointed out that "A lot of
food costs depend on the individual
tastes of people and wise shopping
on the part of the housewife.”
$100 MILLION TAX BILL POSSI-
BLE—Governor Connally acknowl-
edged the tax bill required to bal-
ance his spending recommandations
to the Legislature next month might
well range over $100,000,000.
In addition to his budget ($911,400-
000 general revenue), the governor
will recommend separate spending
items, possibly including a teacher
pay raise.
Connally and mayors were unable
to get together on emergency aid
for cities. Mayors want his back-
ing of a one-per-cent local option
sales tax.
Governor prefers a penny-a-gallon
gasoline tax boost with three-
fourths of the revenue (about $40,-
000,000 a year) earmarked for city
street building, maintenance and
policing purposes.
Mayors are not satisfied with the
latter. They fear they would be re-
quired to argue each application for
aid separately before the State
Highway Commission.
CONNALLY BUDGET-More of
the Governor’s proposed budget for
the 1968-69 biennium has been re-
leased. Some recommendations are:
$51,000,000 more for the construc-
tion of interstate highways, state
highways and farm-to-market roads.
He suggested $1,073,535,894 for the
total program for the two years, of
I which $749,948,061 would be for con-
struction. (The department asked
$ 1,081,431,236—only $7,895,342 more
than Connally recommended. Cur-
rent budget is $987,605,621.)
Doubling the current appropria-
tion for the General Land Office’s
I supervision and regulation of ex-
• ploration, leasing and development
of state-owned land in the Gulf of
Mexico. (Currently, it is getting $75,-
1000, and Connally’s recommenda-
tion is adopted, it would get $150.-
000, as compared to the $200,000
requested.)
$2,800,000 for a tourist develop-
ment project proposed to help the
Alabama-Coushatta Indians. Cost of
program would be split equal y be-
tween state and federal govern-
ments
Salary increases for Liquor Con-
trol Board’s field personnel: District
supervisors would jump from $7,080
to $8,628: assistant supervisors, $6-
204 to $7,620 (minimum): inspectors
II from $5,808 to $7,056; and in-
spectors I from $5,436 to $6,528. (All
undercovermen are inspectors.)
LCB’s administrator’s salary would
be raised from $18,500 to $19,500
and the assistant administrator’s
salary would go from $12,00 to $14,-
112.

information officer for Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety, is the new

nally.

SELF INSURANCE—No action
has been taken on the plan for self-
insurance on trucks that was the
subject of a Railroad Commission
hearing early this year.
But Hearing Examiner William
P. Danforth of the commission’s
transportation division said the
matter is pending and not forgotten.
AG NEWS—Unwillingness of Park-
er County to underwrite mainte-
nance expense for the Kickapoo
Watershed Project has no bearing
on the legal capacity of Erath,
Hood and Palo Pinto counties to
contribute to district flood control
and drainage facilities, Atty. Gen.
Waggoner Carr held.
Carr asked Department of Pub-
lic Safety Director Homer Garrison.
Jr. to arrange lie detector test for
cancer-stricken Jack Ruby—if his
condition permits reliable results.
This Ruby repeatedly has request-
ed to prove he was not part of any
conspiracy in the slaying of Lee
Harvey Oswald.
BARGE BIDS TURNED DOWN-
Texas Water Rights Commission has
rejected two applications to spon-
sor possible barge transportation on
the Sabine River upstream from
Orange to Longview.
By a 3-0 vote the commission re-
jected bids of the Middle Sabine
River Navigation District and the
Texas Water Development Board to
help the U. S. Army Corps of Engi-
years of ready reserve with his
own guard unit,” Bishop added. "If
the unit is called to active duty,
though, he will have to go with it”
INAUGURAL INVITATIONS OUT
—Some 50,000 invitations to the
governor’s inauguration (January
17) already have been sent by the
State Democratic Executive Com-
mittee.
Chairman Will D. Davis reports
that the bulky invitations, which
cost 15 cents each for postage alone,
already are in the mail. He points
out, however, that written invita-
tions are not necessary for admis-
sion to a reception at the capitol
and at state agencies, to the high-
noon inaugural ceremony or to the
downtown parade. "Everyone’s
welcome!”
On the evening before the inau-
guration, the SDEC will hold a $25-
a-plate Democratic victory dinner
here Tickets to the inaugural ball
wil be $10 a coupe.
TEXAS PLUGS—Texas Industrial
Commission is encouraging business-
men in Texas to invite out-of-state
correspondents to "Discover Texas

the message and a small map of the
state cm letterheads and envelopes.

ed free on request from the Texas
