"Homespun" COUNTY AGENT NEWS
BY
SHIRLEY
CALDWEll
This Thanksgiving all of us
have a list of things for which
We are truly thankful.
Assessing the many bless
ings of Albany and its citizens
compiles a long, long column.
But, the one which jumps out at
me from that list is talent. God
seems to have bestowed upon
the Shackelford folks a wide
range of varied talents. The
talent to inspire confidence, the
talent to persevere against all.
odds and win, and the talent to
use learning to conquer stupid
ity are blessings well demon
strated in Albany lately.
Of course* we think of the
musical talenls of our young
and old and the creativity of so
many, many people in music,
writing, poetry, painting, sew
ing, cooking, or working hard
bn an average daily chore.
To list names would be mo
notonous and unfair because
someone would surely be over-
looked. But, as a means of
thanking each of you, I want to
share my Thanksgiving Prayer:
Thank you, dear God, for the
talents you have given to each
of us. Thank you for those
persons who use their talents
every day to benefit all of us in
Albany. Thank you for the
encouragement, thoughtful
ness, and pride shown to us by
our brothers. We pray that
none of us will ever be guilty of
being jealous of another's abil
ity or guilty of hindering ano
ther in using his talents.
Amen.

It's a modern day miracle,
the production of food and fiber
for the mushrooming popula
tion of this state and nation.
Yet it's happening because
dedicated people are working
hard and caring for the land and
striving to do their best to
provide high quality food and
fiber products for their fellow
countrymen.
"Texans are invited to take a
close look at the agricultural
industry of their state during
the month of November, which
has been designated as 'Food
and Fiber Appreciation Month.'
It's a fitting tribute to an
industry that serves as the
lifeblood of humanity," points
out Charles Baker, economist
for the Texas Agricultural Ex
tension Service.
'Texans should be proud of
their agricultural industry
which contributes more than
J10 billion to the state's econ
omy each year and employs
about 30 per cent of the state's
labor force. Of the state's 168
million acres of land area, 142
million are devoted to agricul
ture."
What are some of the other
facts and figures that make
Texas an agaricultural giant?
Baker lists a few:
Texas ranks third nationally
to only California and Iowa in
total agricultural income.
Texas leads the natidn in
producing cotton, grain sor-
ghum and rice.
BY LAWRENCE E. Winkler
It is the top cattle producer
and also leads in the production
of sheep and wool, goats and
mohair.
Texas ranks third among ag-
ricultural exporting states and
is the leading exporting state in
rice, cotton, hides, tallow and
cottonseed oil.
About 21 per cent of the
state's 1972 cash receipts from
agriculture came from exports.
Texas is second only to Geor-
gia in peanut production and is
a major producer of other oil-
seed crops such as cottonseed,
soybeans, flaxseed and castors.
Texas is the third leading
vegetable producing state be-
hind California and Florida. It
ranks first in cabbage, water
melon and spinach production
and second in onions, carrots
and cantaloupes.
The state is second in produc-
ing grapefruit and third in
oranges.
Texas leads in native pecans
and is third in overall pecan
production.
Honey production is also big
business, with Texas being
third in the number of bee
colonies.
Texas is among the top 10
dairy states in the nation.
The state is a leading produc-
er of poultry and eggs.
Other enterprises that are
important generators of agri-
cultural income in Texas are
timber, horses, fish farming
and recreation. Texas is the
leading state in horse numbers
and is among the leading states
in fish farming.
"Agriculture is indeed 'big' in
Texas," notes Baker, "and it
continues to grow to meet the
ever-increasing demands for
high quality food and fiber
products."
