QUESTIONNAIRE FOR
CITIES SURVEYS
AUSTIN--A questionnaire
devised by two University of
Texas scholars makes it poss-
sible for a city to survey what
attitudes its citizens have about
new industry.
Drs. Grady Bruce and Robert
T. Green of the UT Marketing
Department say the feelings of
citizens frequently are over-
looked in economic develop-
ment plans.
Because it reveals a "profile"
of citizen thinking, the survey
model can be useful in measur-
ing public support for new
industry as well as in identify-
ing types of industry a city's
residents would find most
desirable.
CARDOF THANKS
I would like to thank all of my
relatives and friends for their
many thoughtful remem-
brances during my recent ill-
ness. My thanks, too, to the
hospital staff, the doctors and
the Hospital Auxiliary for their
concern and care.

Skill Shown In
Cutting Meat
Costs
Meat prices test home-
makers' skills as planners,
shoppers and cooks.
"Get the most from meat
purchases by stretching' them,"
suggests Mrs. Elnora R.Bryant,
county Extension agent.
Although Americans gener-
ally consume more, a person
needs two three ounce servings
of meat daily.
There are several methods
and "extenders" for providing
this amount while satisfying
family tastes.
Though a family member
might complain about a three-
ounce serving of steak, that
same amount of meat in a stew,
soup, casserole or salad goes
much further.
Cookbooks and other litera-
ture furnish numerous recipes
for such meat dishes to help
consumers stretch purchases.
Another "extension" method
involves combining protein-rich
dry beans, lentils or dry peas
with less meat. For example,
bean soup with ham, lentils and
bacon or hot dogs are hearty,
economical and nutritious.
In addition, less expensive
types of meat are budget
stretchers.
Ground meat, for instance,
combines well with many dif-
ferent foods. Hamburger pat-
ties easily furnish the three-
ounce meat serving.
For families preferring large
meat patties, combine one of
the following with ground meat
before making patties- oatmeal,
crushed cereal, breadcrumbs,
crackercrumbs or even rice.
Add a beaten egg to hold
mixture together, and form
patties. Cook as desired for
tasty, nutritious patties, the
agent concluded.
Food Values
Save Money
College Station - Chicken
and turkey, though higher-
priced than a year ago, remain
economical mealtime choices,
according to Mrs. Gwendolyne
Clyatt.
The consumer marketing
specialist, Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, Texas A&M
University, listed current beef
values as liver, ground beef,
round steaks and roasts, chuck
roasts and steaks.
"Pork prices continue at the
higher level of the past month
with best values on picnics,
shoulder roasts and steaks, and
end-cut loin roasts and chops.
Some markets will feature
canned hams."
Also cabbage, carrots, pota-
toes, mustard, collards, turnip
greens, radishes and green
onions.
Citing eggs as a "nutritious,
economical and convenient"
food to serve, the specialist
advised purchasing them from
refrigerated cases and storing
them with the large end up to
help maintain quality.
"Eggs may absorb odors
from other foods, so they
should be stored covered. A
few days' supply stores better
in a plastic refrigerator dish or
plastic bag.
"Temperature changes dur-
ing storage cause egg whites to
become thin and less desirable
for frying or poaching," she
added.

Grain Stocks Decline ... San Saba and Gillespie
Leading Counties ... Egg Production Has Ups and
Downs. .,
Stocks of the four feed grains -corn, oats, barley and
grain sorghum-in Texas and throughout the nation
continue to show declines, with wheat at the lowest level
since 1968.
In Texas, a decrease of 47,000,000 bushels of the
four feed grains was reported with grain sorghum declines
being responsible for most of the downturn. Only oat
stocks are above those of a year ago.
Wheat stocks in Texas stored in all positions as of
April 1 are 15 percent below a year ago. Disappearance
during the January-April quarter is estimated at 37,700,000
bushels, up sharply from the 3,000,000 buihels
disappearance for the same period last year.
Grain sorghum stocks are estimated at 145,400,000
bushels; this is 25 percent below a year ago.
Corn stocks are estimated at 15,800,000 bushels,
down four percent a year ago.
Soybean stocks are estimated at 5,900,000 bushels,
44 percent below a year ago.
THE TOP counties in Texas in production of fruits
and nuts are San Saba and Gillespie. San Saba takes the
1972 honor in pecan production, and Gillespie County is
the state's number one peach producing county for 1972.
Texas for 1972 was the nation's leading state in pecan
production. The state ranked seventh in 1972 in peach
production.
Total pecan production for Texas during 1972 was
65,000,000 pouncte Most of the production was in the
south central and cross timbers areas.
Other top counties in pecan production in Texas
during 1972 were Gonzales, Comanche, Hood, Guadalupe,
Colorado, Lavaca, DeWitt, Bell and El Paso.
Other top counties in peach production in Texas
during 1972 were Upshur, Camp, Parker, Montague,
Eastland, Clay, Comanche, Limestone and Lampasas.
This year, the peach crop will be produced mostly in
Central Tex3- East Texas as the late freeze has either
damaged or ^.-oyed the crop in noith Texas and on the
High Plains.
Pecan tiees art blooming in many areas of the state.
Some damage is ex-, ed due to the late freeze which will
reduce the crop in sonnorthern sections of the state.
EGG production in Texas continues to have its ups
and downs, the Texas Crop and Livestock Reporting
Service notes. v
Egg production during March was 11 percent below a
year ago but 20 percent above last month. Nationwide, egg
production was down six percent from the past year.
GROSS income from dairying in Texas during 1972
was up eight percent from the previous year. Texas farmers
received a gross income from dairy products of
$243,000,000. A total of 3,300,000,000 pounds of milk
was produced in the state during 1972.
Total milk production was up four percent from
1971.
CONTINUE to submit screwworm samples to the fly
laboratory at Mission, authorities request.
Thus far, 1973 is turning out to be a good year in
screwworm control. But livestock producers are urged to
increase the sending of suspected screwworm samples to the
fly lab in Mission. County agents and vocational agriculture
teachers have vials in which the samples may be sent.
ACS To Hold
Orientation
Meetings
The American Cancer So-
ciety, District 7, is conducting
an 8 hour Basic Orientation for
all volunteers. The orientation
will be held on Wednesday,
May 9, Wednesday, May 16,
and Wednesday, May 23, from
6:30 - 9:30 p.m., at 2813 Han-
cock Drive, in Austin. All
volunteers are encouraged to
attend this orientation and
must attend all three sessions
before becoming certified. This
orientation is a prerequisite for
Transportation and Reach to
Recovery Training. The meet
ings will orient the volunteer in
areas about cancer, treatment,
services and agencies dealing in
helping the cancer patient.
The first night, the discus
sion will be "The County Unit's
Role in Fighting Cancer". Sid-
ney Stewart, M.D. will preside
over this discussion, with Don
Spencer, M.D., Clyde Danks,
M.D., trkir<* part in the discus
M.D. takhg part in the discus
sion, along with several key
volunteers from Travis County.
"The Nature of Cancer and
Method? of Treatment" will be
discussed on Wednesday, May
16th, with Don Spencer, M.D.
and William DeGinder, M.D.
taking part on the panel. The
final night will also be a panel
discussion composed of a
patient's pastor, a public health
nurse, a physical therapist, a
vocational rehabilitation coun
selor, representatives from the
social security and welfare
offices, and an ACS volunteer
discussing their role in "The
Care of the Cancer Patient".
The people taking part in the
this orientation are tops in their
fields, making the program
interesting and beneficial to all.
All Bastrop County ACS mem
bers are urged to attend.
Students May
Be Entitled To
Tax Exemption
Students who work this
summer may be entitled to
exemption from income tax
withholding, R.L. Phinney, IRS
District Director for southern
Texas, said today.
Students who did not owe
any tax last year and who
expect to owe none-this year
should use a Withholding
Exemption Certificate, Form
W-4E, to claim the exemption.
This would eliminate the need
to file a tax return next year
unless there has been tax
withholding and the student
wishes to recover it.
For 1973, a single person
under 65 years of age who
makes less than $2,050 owes no
tax. This is based on the $1,300
low income allowance and a
personal exemption of $750. A
single taxpayer over 65 who
earns wages less than $2,800
incurs no tax liability, Phinney
explained.
Exemption from tax with-
holding began in 1970 and has
an annual cycle beginning each
May 1. Therefore, any exemp
tion certificates filed for 1972
expired on May 1, and new ones
are required for the current
year.
Besides students, anyone
else who qualifies can fill out
the form and give it so his
employer to claim exemption
from income tax withholding on
his wages.
Employers who need quanti-
ties of the new Form W-4E can
obtain them from any IRS
office.
Great statesmen are thos;e
who were on the job when you
had a run of good luck.

Rain Causes
Problems For
Texas Farmers
College Station Wet weather
across the state is causing a
number of problems for Texas
farmers, so wise decision-mak
ing is all the more critical. This
is especially true when it
comes to using herbicides
(chemical weed killers), con-
tends Dr. Dave Weaver, agro-
nomist for the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service.
"Many farmers will be
changing their weed control
practices this year due to the
adverse weather conditions,"
points out Weaver. "Due to
prolonged wet field conditions,
many farmers have had to
forego preplant herbicide ap-
plications and will be relying
on pre-emergence or post-
emergence chemicals. These
materials are effective if ap-
plied according to label direc-
tions. That's the key to suc-
cessful control of weeds with
chemicals."
The Texas A&M University
specialist hastens to admit that
weeds will be plentiful in fields
this year due to an abundance
of soil moisture. "Herbicides
will be put to the test this
season. Hopefully, they will be
used wisely. Undue haste in
applying a herbicide when
conditions are not favorable or
increasing the rate when
weeds get out of hand could be
costly in more ways than one."
According to Weaver, herbi-
cide damage to crops often
occurs in years such as this
when weather conditions are
less than ideal for planting and
maintaining crops. Wet, cool
conditions generally lead to
slow crop development and
decreased effectiveness of
many post-emergence herbi-
cides.
Cotton producers are often
tempted to go with an over-the
top application to "rescue" the
cotton crop from grasses and
weeds, says Weaver. Crop
damage is often the result.
Application of a preplant or
pre-emergence herbicide will
often avoid the need for
over-the-top salvage treat-
ments. Timely "directed" appli-
cations of post,-eatergence her-
bicides are also a safer alterna-
tive,
"Another important consid-
eration facing many farmers
this year is the need to replant
their crops," points out Weaver.
"These decisions are critical if
herbicides have been applied
prior to replanting. As long as
the same crop is replanted,
there is generally no problem.
However, if a farmer decides
to replant with another crop,
he should be sure that the
herbicide already applied will
not damage the crop he plans
to plant."
If a preplant incorporated
herbicide was used in cotton,
then soybeans may be planted
safely; however, grain sor-
ghum should not be planted.
Neither soybeans nor sorghum
should be planted on soils
treated with pre-emergence
cotton herbicides. Soybeans
should not follow weather-
damaged sorghum if a pre-
emergence herbicide was ap-
plied to the sorghum.
"If farmers have questions
regarding the use of a particu-
lar herbicide, I urge them to
contact their local county Ex-
tension agent," adds Weaver.
"There are many particular
circumstances and situations
that affect herbicide use and
performance, and the local
county agent can provide much
of this information. By obtain-
ing all the facts first, potential
trouble with herbicides can be
avoided."
Fire Blight
On Pear Trees
Fire blight, a bacterial dis
ease is affecting many pear
trees in Bastrop County at this
time, according to Ed Migura,
Bastrop County Extension
agent.
Control may be obtained by
pruning infected portions of the
plant 4 6 inches below the
visible symptoms. You must dip
all pruning equipment in ten
percent household bleach for
two seconds to prevent spread
ing the bacteria from one cut to
another.
Chemical control can be
obtained by J he use of copper
fungicide Kocide 101. Pear tree
owners should spray on a two
week interval in spring and fall
using one tablespoon Kocide
101 to one gallon water or one
pound Kocide 101 to 100 gallons
water.
Many theories are fine until
it's time to mnke blueprints.
