like he might be stretching it a Ut-

the Texas A. and M. Extension Serv-
ice looks for 40,000 trench silos in
Texas by the end of 1940.
At that lie has a pretty good basis
for his estimate. In 1931 there were
18 trench silos in the state. By 1933
there were 435; by 1935, 1,187. From
then on, by years the story is 1936:
5,841; 1937 , 9,483; 1938, 17,048; and
1939 , 28,831.
To reach the 40,000 estimate, Tex-

Eudaly admits that the weather
from now on will have a lot to do
with it. For instance, an early freeze
might kill several hundred thousand
acres of late sorghum, and make it
almost worthless for grain or bundle
feed. On the other hand, experience
has shown that frostbitten feed
makes good silage.

Increased Income
Since the AAA began in 1933, it
s brought to Texas farmers and
ichmen $388,969,753 In conserva-
n and parity payments, not in-
iding payments now being made
der the 1940 program. During that
me period, farm cash income in
e state has climbed from its low
$315,000,000 in 1932 to $567,596,000
1939, including government pay-
Bnts. The benefits of this increase
■re reflected in proportionate im*-
ovements in other industries.
But, despite the great value of in-
easing farm income, the greatest
mefil of the program has been,
id will continue to be in years to
ime, the lesson it is teaching in
inservation which is beneficial not

Working closely with the Exten-

agencies, the AAA has helped farm-
ers along in their adoption of a con-

results have been obtained from the

farmers are now so well sold on toe
benefits of soil-building and soil
j conserving practices that there will
be no decrease in toe use of toe
common practices but an increase in
the less ordinary but equally effec-
tive practices.
An Indication of the increase in
conservation practices in the state
found in the records of use of
. following practices as reported
„'the AAA: (1) terracing — 1936,
225,031 acres, (payments were made
on an acreage basis that year); 1937,
65,767,225 feet; 1938, 99,533,630 feet;
1939, 106,700,400 feet. (2) stripcrop-
ping on toe contour—1936, 751,259
acres; 1937, 1,817,256 acres; 1938,
5,437,489 acres; 1939, 4,939,777 acres.
green manure crops — 1936,
2,631,021; 1937, 326,783; 1938, 2,096,
416; 1939, 2,399,939. (4) seeding le-
gumes—1936, 112,998; 1937 , 668,(24,
1938, 1,128,300; 1939, 979,109.
Cash Crops
Cotton has been and still is toe
major cash crop of toe state but
acres of feed crops; from 1933 to
1939 toe average was 12,383,000. In
1939 the acreage ol feed crops was
still rising, since 13,765.000 acres
were planted in that year.
Of all toe major crops produced
in Texas, only cotton provided less
income in 1939 than it did in 1932.
The year before, 1938, cotton income
amounted to five per cent more thftn
it did in 1932. Production of cotton
in 1939 was 37 per cent under the
1932 production, and planted acre-
age was 12 per cent below AAA al-
lotments because of unfavorable
growing conditions. Despite these
differences, cash income was ojriy 3
per cent less from the smaller crop.
