Texans Buy
Million Barrels
Of Falstaff
Falstaff Brewing Company
sent a telegram to C. O. Miller,
Falstaff distributors in Waco,
announcing that on Friday, Dec.
18 for the first time in the his-
tory of the company, the mil-
lionth barrel of Falstaff was
sold in Texas during one year.
Falstaff is the only brewing
corporation that has two plants
in Texas, one in Galveston and
the other in El Paso. The com-
pany employs more than 1,000 |
persons in Texas.
Falstaff Brewing Corp., C. O. j
Miller of Waco, and the many
Falstaff employees are all grate-
ful for the many Falstaff cus-
tomers and are looking forward
to an even greater ye»r in 1965.
Another year is fast drawing
to a close, and this means tackl-
ing that tax reporting job.
An excellent way for farmers
Massaehii- iand ranchers to prepare for this
task is to obtain a copy of Pub-
lication No. 225. the Internal
Revenue Service's 1965 edition
of the Farmer's Tax Guide, says
Cecil Parker, Extension farm
management specialist, Texas
A&M University. It is available
without cost from the offices of
local county agents or those
of the Internal Revenue Service.
Farmers and ranchers want-
ing extra time to file their final
report have until Jan. 15 to file
their 1964 tax estimate. If
this estimate is filed, the final
date for filing Form 1040 is ex-
tended to April 15. However, if
no estimate is filed. Feb. 15 then
becomes the deadline for making
the final tax report. These
deadlines, Parker points out,
apply only to taxpayers who de-
rived two-thirds or more of
their 1964 gross income from
farming or ranching.
Another important considera-
tion is the reporting of hired
labor and social security tax on
wages paid. Either of two tests
determined whether or not a
farmer must pay social security
.tax on wages. If the worker was
! paid cash wages of $150 or more
during the calendar year or if
he was paid cash wages (com-
puted on a time basis i for 20
days or more during the year,
the three and five-eights per
cent social security tax should
have been deducted from such
wages.
From 943 is used for reporting
farm wages. Farmer-employers
must show wages paid and give
the account number of indi-
vidual workers. Tax withheld
plus an equal amount from the
employer, along with the re-
porting form, must be filed on
or before Jan. 31.
Because every phase of the
farm and ranch business can be
affected by taxes, Parker em-
phasizes the need for a com-
plete study of the '65 Tax Guide.
About half of the matches
used in the U. S. yearly are ad-
Home Economists
Endorse U. S.
Training Program
Eight training programs of
the U. S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare — which
will create new services to meet
the needs of homes and com-
munities of the nation — have
been endorsed by a national
committee of the American
Home Economics Association.
The Association’s Committee
on the Commission on the
Status of Women met recently
in Washington, D. C. and out-
lined concepts of the new home-
related services, says Mrs. Flor-
ence W. Low, Extension assis-
tant director for home econo-
mics and immediate past presi-
dent of AHEA.
The home related services,
where job training is primarily
geared to adults who may or
may not have received
a high school education, in-
cludes these categories: Family
dinner service specialist, com-
panion to an elderly person,
homemaker’s assistant, and
clothing maintenance specialist.
Community-focused occupa-
tions delineated in the program
are: Management aide in low-
rent public housing projects,
visiting homemaker, hotel and
motel housekeeping aide, and
supervised food service work-
er. These occupations require
sub-professional training which
is set forth in a series of eight
manuals issued by the Office of
Education.
Tire Committee on the Com-
mission in the Status of Women
of AIIEA is charged with the
responsibility of developing
programs and policies to imple-
ment the President’s report on
the Status of Women through
the profession of home econo-
mics.
Walter M. Arnold. Assistant
Commissioner for Vocational
and Technical Education in the
Office of Education, in a state-
ment issued during the meeting,
sard that although "the major
role of home economics train-
ing in vocational education has
been to assist youth and adults
to prepare for the responsibili-
ties and activities of homemak-
ing and achievement of family
well-being, new socio-economic

This past year may be re-
membered by brokers as the
year cowboys invaded the trad-
ing floor.
The Chicago Mercantile Ex-
change began a system of beef
cattle futures trading this year,
and, without getting dirty boots
or a sunburn, anyone with the
money can become a cattle
trader.
Tlie biggest users of the new
marketing device are expected
to be traditional livestock men
— producers, feeders, dealers
and slaughterers, according to
Ed Uvacek, a Texas A&M Uni-
versity livestock marketing spe-
cialist.
"Owning cattle always in-
volves risks of death losses,
sickness and price fluctuation,”
Uvacek said. “Future trading
allows some of this price risk to
be shifted. It minimizes the ef-
fects of price changes and guar-
antees a price level.”
The trading unit of the sys-
tem is 25,000 pounds of USDA
Choice grade, live steers in one
of two weight ranges. One is
1.000 to 1,500 pound steers that
will yield 61 percent of this
weight in carcass. The other is
1.151 to 1.300 pound steers that
will yield 62 per cent.
As in grain trading, a delivery
month is specified in the con-
tract. Cattle futures contracts
can be made for April, June,
August or October delivery to
stockyards in Chicago or Oma-
ha.
A commission rate of $36 is
charged by the commodity
broker for buying and selling a
contract,
Nov. 30 was the first day of
cattle futures trading. Uvacek
said that trading started with
tremendous activity and enthu-
siasm. At the end of the first
week, contracts closed for April
at $23.40 per hundred pounds:
June, $23.65; August, $24.05;
and October, $24.40.
“Futures are not the answer
to all the problems of the beef
business,” Uvacek said. They
will., however, provide the op-
portunity for hedging against
the severe price fluctuations
that are common in the indus-
try.
Years ago, parents sometimes
wondered about bringing up
their children. Now, they worry
about keeping up with them.
