BASTROP ADVERTISER NOVEMBER 19, 1983
Abolition Of Regional SC Offices
Hard To Understand Says Johnson
BIG GAME HUNT
DATA IN BRIEF
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson
Miyw that reorganisation pro-
posals abolishing; regional Of
f ce.- of the Soil Conservation
Service are "startling and diffi
cult to understand."
"It is billed a* a step toward
efficiency and economy,*" Sena-
tor Johnson said. "It is difficult
to find any economy in this
plan."
The Texa> Senator also dis
eloaed that the Agriculture He
partment has rejected "by in-
ference" a proposal to stabaiize
the market through purchasing not ""eaponstblc
cattle on the hoof. The proposal
had been urg«-d on Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra T. Benson by
Senator Johnson upon a number
of occasions.
Senator Johnson read a letter
from Secretary Benson's execu-
tive assistant, L. N. Hooper. "By
inference, hi reject.- the propos
al." Senator Johnson .-aid. "In
a sense, he leaves the door open
by avoiding a direct answer."
Explaining the reorganization
proposal which would abolish 7
regional offices of the Soil Con-
servation Service, including the
one at Fort Worth, the Senator
pointed out that Secretary Ben
son "says that no essential ser-
vices will be eliminated."
"That can only mean that the
function.- now handled by 7 of-
ficers will be handled by 48 of-
ficers —one in each State," Sen-
ator Johnson said. "It has been
my understanding that the func-
tion of the reorganization ac
is to consolidate overlapping
agencies and to eliminate dupli
. at ion.
"It is a strange sort of con-
solidation that begins with 7 of
fices and winds up with 48."
Senator Johnson also .-aid:
1. That Texas lost at least
$fi 1,000,000 in income during the
first six months of this year be-
cause of declining cattle prices.
2. That farm price supports
on cotton ami wheat apparently
for current
high prices paid by consumers
for bread and cotton goods.
That the farmer's share of
the consumer's dollar is 9 cents
lower today than it was in 1!M5.
4. That it will be "Pretty hard
to stay in business" if small
ranchers have to live with cur-
rent cattle prices.

Rat Control
Rats cause a lot of damage to
stored feed for livestock as well
as humans. Rat.- eat feed, waste
feed and make other feed unde
sirable for consumption. So you
should take every precaution to
control rats and prevent their
damage.
With a lot of feed being stored
on the farm, the rats have an
excellent place to nest and breed.
You should make your barn as
rat proof as possible to keep

Also at this time of year, the
rats and mice start looking for
a warm place. As it gets colder,
they will leave their nest- and
burrows in the pastures and field
and come to the houses and
barns. You can see that it will
pay off to have a rat control
program on each farm.
There are several things you
car. do to help control rats and
mice. Several of them are (1)
Clean up trash and other mater-
ial around the home that would
make good nesting places. <2i
Fix up your barns as rat proof i
as possible. (8) Patch up small j
holes and cracks to prevent the
rats from entering the house.
(41 Keep out rat poison at this
time of year.
There are several commercial
brands of rat poison on the mar
ket that will give good results in
the control of rat-. We have a
supply of Warfarin treated rat
and mou.-e bait at the county a-
gent's office. If you need some
of this, drop by and get it.
