Research Seeks
New Uses
For Cotton
College Station — Four late
June developments, announced
by the U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture, should oe oi interest
to producers and consumers of
cotton.
Three of the developments
have to do with research aimed
at finding new uses for cot-
ton and evaluating an already
announced process for making
all-cotton stretch yarns.
The fourth development was
the announcement of Secretary
Freeman of an agreement with
India which provides for a
record-breaking barter of cot-
ton and possibly other agricul-
tural products in exchange for
strategic materials. Up to 300,-
000 bales of cotton will be ex-
ported to ilndid, the largest
bilateral barter transaction ever
negotiated between the U. S.
and another country.
The research announced will
be conducted under contracts
with the USDA. Scientists at
North Carolina State College
of Agriculture and Engineering
will evaluate all-cotton stretch
yarns in circular-knit wear.
Others at the Stanford Research
Institute in California will con-
duct research' aimed at im-
proving cotton fiber strength
while a third group at Clemson
Agricultural College in South
Carolina will seek methods for
producing improved cotton knit
goods.
The research to be conducted
at Clemson is seeking a method
for producing cotton knit goods
with increased bulk, warmth
and .dimensional stability. Such
a process, the USDA said, would
make cotton knit goods more
suitable for use in winter ap-
parel and thus open wider
markets for cotton.
Tile chatter of a fool is valu-
able because it also guarantees
the right of the wise man to
speak.

Pedodontics Is
Essential For
Young Children
Austin — “Pedodontics” is a
big word with a simple meaning
— the care and treatment of
children’s teeth. A major part
of pedodontics is preventive
dentistry, and preventive den-
tistry for the very young is the
one great hope of a realistic
solution to our dental woes.
If a child’s teeth are proper-
ly cared for up to age 15, a
strong foundation has been laid
for minimizing dental troubles
in later years.
At about 6 months of age the
front teeth — two upper and
two lower — begin to peek out.
These front teeth are incisors,
the cutting teeth. By age 7 to 11
months, four more teeth, upper
and lower, start to come in.
These are the lateral incisors at
either side of the central teeth.
Then Mother Nature wisely
.skips a few spaces in order to
properly .shape the jaw. In 12 to
16 months, the back teeth or
molars, come in. Then the cus-
pids show to fill in the space
between. At about 24 months,
the second molars come in.
Up to this point all teethi
which erupted are primary
teeth, and although temporary
they are vital. They help shape
the face, help the youngster
learn to speak distinctly, help
him nutritionally and must
serve the child until he is 12.
While all this has been go-
ing on, the permanent teeth
are slowly developing in the jaw
bone so they can come forth
at the proper time.
The first permanent teeth to
erupt are molars — sometimes
called “six-year" molars sim-
ply because they emerge at
ooout age 6. Because they do not
replace the first teeth but come
in just behind them, these moi-
lars tend to confuse parents
who think they are also
temporary teeth.
This error can lead to un-
fortunate consequences. Since
the “six-year” molars are per-
manent teeth, they will not be
replaced if lost.
Family dentists strongly em-
phasize the importance of
watching for the six-year mo-
lars. They are impoitant to the
structure of the mouth. The
manner in which they inter-
lock with their opposite teeth'
will determine the eventual
shape of the jaw, facial con-
tour and regularity of align-
ment of other teeth.
Because of their importance,
these first permanent teeth are
often referred to as the “key-
stone of the dental arch.”
The strength or weakness of
adult dental health _ barring
loss of teeth through accidents
can invariably be traced to
habits of preventive dentistry
learned or left unlearned in
childhood. And when it comes
to preventive dentistry, the
pedodontist is a child’s best
friend.
Thy faith hath made thee
whole.—(Duke 18:42).
To express our true faith in
God we should pray definitely
and purposefully for healing.
That is the way we receive
answers to our prayers.

Pecan Crop
Is Promising
College Station — Pecans
should be plentiful once again
this fall following a disoppoint-
ing crop in 1962, says F. R.
Brison, Professor of Horticul-
ture at Texas A. and M. College.
Several factors were to blame
for the scanty 79,000,000 pounds
produced in Texas last year,
says Brison. But he predicts that
the 1963 yield will again be as
large as was the 1961 crop when
240,000,000 pounds were grown.
“The crop looks very promis-
ing this year,” says the horti-
culturist. “Shoots are heavily
loaded with clusters and many
clusters have 4 to 8 pecans in
them.”
Below average populations of
nut casebearers is another rea-
son he gives for the bright pe-
can crop outlook. These pests
have been more effectively con-
trolled due to better spraying
programs and better chemicals.
Malathion and Sevin were widely
used last year and gave good
control of casebearers, Brison
says.
Producers may receive slightly
lower prices for their nuts this
fall due to larger yields but the
quality of the pecans will also
greatly affect the price, he
says. The size and number of
pecans produced by a tree has a
physiological effect on the
quality of the pecans it bears, he
adds.
The horticulturist explains
that the leaf-nut ratio has an
influence on both the size and
the number of pecans a tree
produces. There should be about
11 compound leaves for each
pecan on the tree, he says,
and the maintenance of a good
leaf-nut ratio is an important
production practice. Controlling
leaf destroying insects will help
accomplish this.
Another production practice
that is especially important dur-
ing dry weather is the control-
ing of competitive vegetation.
This may be done in the way
commonly used by the producer
whether by grazing, mowing, or
cultivation, Brison says.
Economic
Farm Outlook
College Station — The price-
cost squeeze on farmers may
tighten some during 1963 due to
larger supplies and lower av-
erage prices of farm products
along with higher production
costs, says John McHaney, econ-
omist with the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service.
Tiie large output expected in
1963 will raise the gross farm
income but this Increase will be
offset by higher prices paid by
farmers, Jie elaborates. Econom-
ic activity of the nation as a
whole increased during the
early part of 1963 and will prob-
ably continue to advance the
rest of the year though at a
slower rate.
Exports of farm products in
the calendar year 1963 will
probably total about the same
as the record shipments in 1961
and 1962, says McHaney. Food
fats and oils and daily product
exports will probably increase
while wheat and cotton levels
will remain near the 1962 fig-
ure. Poultry and feed grain ex-
ports are expected to be lower
than in 1862, the economist
adds. •
Looking at prospects for the
rest of the year, fed cattle
prices are expected to improve
somewhat due to a seasonal re-
cline in fed beef production.
Hog prices may be somewhat
lower during the fall and early
winter of 1963 than for till©
same period last year. This will
be true if thie March-May far-
rowings were the expected four
per cent higher than a year
earlier.
Farm milk sales for 1963 are
expected to be only one per cent
higher than last year and the
national average support price,
effective April 1, 1963, will be
bhree cents more per hundred,
says McHaney.
There will be little change in
the number of layers on farms
during the remainder of the
year, but because of a higher
rate of lay, egg numbers will be
up.
The 1963 turkey crop is likely
to be the same as last year’s
though it will have stiffer com-
petition from broilers and red
meat in the next six months
than during the same span in
1962.

Students Need
Good, Solid
Education
By Fred Pool
One of the most encouraging
notes in the field of education
within recent months has come
from the new superintendent of
schools in New York, Dr. Calvin
E. Gross, when he called lor a
return to “intellectual develop-
ment” in the schools of our na-
tion.
Dr. Gross feels that every
citizen of this country, whether
he pounds nails, raises corn, de-
signs rockets, or writes poetry,
should be taught to know and
love his American heritage: to
use the language well; to under-
stand the physical universe, and
to enjoy the arts. We agree.
Demanding that first place in
tiie curriculum be assigned to
English and reading, Dr. Gross
has hit upon a favorite subject
of ours. No matter what trade
or profession one may follow,
his only mode of expression
must be the written or spoken
word; and it behooves all of us
to see to it that our children
are better equipped to do both
than is presently t'he case.
The so-called “frill'1 courses
are, in great part, the result of
the demands of parents, or to
say the least, they have the
blessing of parents. But when
these same parents express
amazement at the lack of solid
foundation in rhetoric and
Erammar when the child
leaches college, we wonder if,
at the same time, they ever stop
to review the activities in which
their child engaged while pass-
ing through high school, a per-
iod when, he was, astensibly,
under closer supervision than is
ever possible in college.
Able students can learn vir-
tually anything in high school
if they are properly motivated,
and if the teacher^ have the wit
and tlhe energy to keep up with
them, Dr. Gross feels, but he
also insists that there should
be more concentration on those
who are very bright and on
those who are quite dull -- or
who merely appear to be dull
because their intellectual po-
tential is masked by the ravages
of substandard living.
A year’s college work in high
school is already par for a small
percentage of our most able and
ambitious students, and the
next step should be a move to
Increase their numbers mark-
edly. They could certainly move
much faster than they have in

the past.
The tendency on the part of
to0 many teachers to pass the
student on to the next grade
has resulted in a grossly in-
adequate foundation, and no
student should be moved on in-
to any subject until he has
mastered tire fundamentals It
is unfair to the student, and it
is unfair to the teacher who
receives him.
