Alone - But Not Forgotten
What can be more desolate than the sight of a bas-
ketball goal without the sounds of Children? This
snows last weekend in Wylie - a deserted scene
as ice and snow and sleet made "playing outside"
impossible. (News Staff Photo).

Texas Number One Again...Beef Cattle Still (Mot At
Full Parity...Milk Production Remains Steady...Egg-Type
Chick Hatch Down, Broiler and Turkey Hatches Increase...
Hogs Sold Through Auctions Are Up...DDT Ban Analyzed.
TEXAS is number one again in cattle feeding. The
Texas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service notes that
2,045,000 head of cattle were on feed in Texas as of June
1. This is 22 per cent above a year ago and 11 per cent
above the 1,848,000 on feed a month ago.
Texas replaces Iowa as the number one cattle feeding
state in the nation. For the six-state cattle on feed Texas,
Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, and Nebraska cattle
on feed total 7,925,000 head
BEEF cattle prices, although at new highs, are still not
on an equal financing rating with the rest of the economy.
Beef prices are now at 93 per cent of parity; calf prices are
at 96 per cent of parity. In reality, cattle prices are only
slightly higher than levels of 20 years ago, yet cattle
production costs have more than doubled during that time.
Throughout the six-state cattle on feed report,
numbers of cattle on feed increased. The 7,925,000 head as
of June 1 is 12 per cent more than a year ago
MILK production in Texas during May totaled
293,000,000 pounds. This is the same as in May, 1971, but
one per cent below the previous month's production.
Milk production per cow kept for milk averaged 825
pounds per cow for the month of May. This is the same as a
year earlier but five pounds below the previous month.
Preliminary price for all wholesale milk for May was
estimated at $6.65 per hundredweight.
Nationwide, milk production is estimated during May
at one per cent above a year earlier.
HATCH of egg type chickens in Texas totaled
2,009,000, down 10 per cent from a year ago. The May
hatch of broiler chicks increased five per cent from a year
ago. The total of 18,163,000 was four per cent above the
preceding month. The total turkey poult hatch for May at
1,436,000 increased nine per cent from a year ago.
Egg production totaled 240 million compared with
225 million a year ago. The 12.3 million layers averaged
62.8 eggs daily per 100 hens. Layers on hand were up four
per cent from a year ago, two per cent below April.
Nationwide, egg production declined two per cent
from a year ago. The daily egg production per 100 layers
was slightly higher than for Texas at 63.7.
SALES for cattle and calves, sheep and goats were
below year ago levels while hog sales showed an increase.
Cattle and calves marketed through auctions during
May numbered 567,000 head, 13 per cent below a year ago.
Sheep sales at livestock auctions totaled 167,000 head, 24
per cent below a year ago.
Hogs sold during May totaled 54,000 head, four per
cent above a year ago.
NO SERIOUS problems for Texas are in prospect with
the banning of most uses of DDT at the end of this year,
Texas Agriculture Commissioner John C. White said. The
use of DDT in agriculture has declined drastically in recent
years throughout the state.
COTTON season is underway with the first bale of
cotton of the 1972 crop having been ginned recently at San
Juan in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Indications are the
Valley crop is a good one.
A creosotcfl wood foun-
dation of jiohIs and planks,
built under an experimental
house in 1037, was found to
be still giving excellent serv-
ice after 30 years when
examined.

HANP AND THIS LETTER IN THE
OTHER AMP " ~r-,;
SCS To Build
Site At
Honey Creek
"That is the one we have
been looking for all these
twenty-one years, "com-
mented Herman Robinson,
Chairman of the Collin
Soil and Water Conserva-
tion District Board as he
reviewed the order to
start construction on site
813-1 of Honey Creek.
This is the seventeenth
flood prevention structure
to be built by the Soil
Conservation Service on
Honey Creek. Morrison
Liston of the McKinney
SCS Field Office stated
that their records show
the first structure was
built on the J esse Slate
land in August 1951.
The dam and spillway of
the new site will be on
M. L. Nelpon land three
miles west of Weston. The
reservoir area will in-
volve lands owned by
Philip Green , L. A.
Reneau, Joe Godbey and
Alia Hubbard School.
Riley Williams and Son
of Sherman was the suc-
cessful bidder. Gilbert
Schrank , Project En-
gineer of the McKinney
Flood Prevention office
states that construction
is expected to start in
January. Gene Sansing
will be the inspector for
this job. One hundred
ninety working days are
allotted for completion of
the contract.
Site 44A located three
miles east of Blue Ridge
is to lie built under tne
same contract . Roy
McGill is the assigned
SCS inspector for this
site.
These two when finished
will bring the total to 141
structures built by the
Service on the watershed
of Lake I.avon. In addi-
tion to furnishing recrea-
tion and other water bene-
fits to the lands they are
preventing flood damage
along the drain ways and
trapping silt and other
pollutants that would nor-
mally damage the major
water supply reservoirs.
There are 138 structures
built in the Collin SWCD.
This means that the job
is about ninety percent
complete.

Thought for the Week:"The only successful sub-
stitute for work is a miracle."
A memo from personnel at the First State Bank
says; "Please request thru your columns that
the fellow who lost his tuxedo pants in our lobbv
please come claim them." To that we would add;
Either that guy must have really celebrated New
Year's or this repossession bit must be tighten-
ing up!
This writer is increasingly more proud every day
that he was an avid supporter of the late President
Harry S. Truman. Some of Mr. Truman's quotes
are worthy of being reprinted over and over as
they contain not only an insight into his real character
but have some real meaning for us today. We
reprint as follows some of his choicest:
On getting a new car:
"It's got so many gadgets on it, I'll have to go
to engineering school so I can handle it," Feb.
16,1953.
On working:
"It's not hard work that gets a man into trouble.
It's the lack of it. When a fellow has nothing to
do he gets into devilment." Jan. 20,1953.
On being an elder statesman;
"I'm still working as hard as I can for the good
of the country. An elder statesman that's some-
one who doesn't do anything."
On a tax cut, then being proposed:
"I am old-fashioned. I believe you should pay in
more than you spend."
On walking:
"I don't do this for show,
it will help me live longer."
On summit meetings;
I do it because I think
"They don't amount to a damn. I have been to twe
of them and nothing was accomplished." October 1962.
On the John Birch Society:
"It's a Ku Klux Klan without the nightsh'rts. Robert
Welch the founder wants a dictatorship and he wants
to be the dictator." April 12,1962.
