THE HOWE ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, MARCH'8, 1973
A Weekly Report Of Agri-Business News

Compiled From Sources
Of The Texas Department of Agriculture
John C. White, Commissioner
Planting Plans Postponed . . . Six Counties
Lose .. . What's Your Beef . .. International Cooperation.
The 1973 Texas spring planting season is off to a slow
start. Cotton planting in the Lower Rio Grande Valley has
been delayed at least a month due to cold, wet weather.
Texas Department of Agriculture officials report less
than five per cent of the Valley's cotton has been planted
thus far, and probably most of that will have to be
replanted. Normally, about two-thirds of the crop would be
in the ground in the Valley by now.
Meanwhile, on the High Plains--550 miles to the
north-harvest of the 1972 cotton crop is now virtually
complete. Rains and cold weather delayed harvest in that
area for several weeks.
Wet conditions over the state are also causing some
headaches for livestock producers, who normally welcome
rains. Too much rain is keeping fields too muddy for
grazing in many areas of the state. Supplemental feeding is
continuing with some shortages of hay and cottonseed
products reported.
SIX counties in Texas have lost their "modified-certified
brucellosis” status because of non-compliance with certain
minimum requirements of the cooperative state-federal
brucellosis eradication program.
The counties in Texas are Denton, Freestone, Harrison,
Kaufman, Navarro and Wood.
Counties initially receive the "modified-certified
brucellosis area” status when the areas are in compliance
with all requirements of the eradication program.
According to officials, the counties did not meet one or
more of the following requirements:
Retest infected herds for brucellosis within six months;
Test or quarantine the herd of origin when an infested
animal is found through the market cattle testing program;
Test a dairy herd within 30 days after a suspicious
brucellosis milk ring test has been reported.
Necessary corrective steps are being taken so that the
counties may again receive their modified-certified
brucellosis area status.
IF YOU'RE concerned about getting the most for your
food dollar-and who isn't-you should be utilizing some
information from the Texas Department of Agriculture
about beef. TDA has available some tips on how to get the
most from your beef dollar.
These include a beef chart showing the cuts of beef and
cooking instructions for the various cuts and a pamphlet
titled "Stretching Your Beef Dollar." Both are available by
writing the Texas Department of Agriculture, Box 12847,
Austin, Texas 78711. »
INTERNATIONAL cooperation is providing Texas
agricultural producers with better varieties of grain sorghum
and forage sorghums. About 200 acres of grain sorghums
are being grown to determine purity tests in Guatemala and
Mexico.
This program is being carried on through the seed
division of the Texas Department of Agriculture under
direction of Bill Staffel. Texas is the largest producer of
hybrid sorghum in the world. "We have the highest quality
of certified hybrid sorghum seed in the nation," Texas
Agriculture Commissioner John C. White said.
Texas produces about 40 per cent of the nation's supply
of grain sorghum annually.__

City Financial
Report, February
Monthly financial report re-
By Dale Rideout
Faith is what assures us than
God is. Faith is what assures
us that God's Word is. true.
Faith is that which gives proof
to spiritual things for which
there is no other proof.
Hebrews 11:1 says it this way,!
. Faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen. "
We receive faith by study-
ing and understanding the
word of God. If we are to '■-a
have true faith we must know
God's word. Paul says in
Romans 10:17, "...Faith
cometh by hearing, and hear-
ing by the word of God."
When we study and learn from
God's word our faith will grow
God has always demanded
three things of man. He must
have faith, repentance, and
obedience to be pleasing to
God. Hebrews 11:6 tells us
that, ".. .without faith it is
impossible to please him... "
Faith is necessary in our lives.
By being faithful to God, and
having faith we can join
those who inherit the promises
of God. Hebrews 6:12 says,
"That ye be not slothful, but
followers of them wild through
faith and patience inherit the
promises."
Still, we must always rem-
ember that for faith to ach-
ieve it's goal, it must be ac
companied by works. These
works are the repentance and
obedience that God demands
with faith. In James 2:17-26
we read of works and faith
being necessary together.
James says three times in
these verses that ". ..faith
without works is dead... "
(Vs. 17, 20, 26). "Ye see
then how that by works a
man is justified and not by
faith only." (James 2:24).

When costs go up,
solving the problem Isn't
easy for TB&JL
Texas Power & Light Company’s costs of bringing you
dependable electric service have risen drastically in
recent years. And, they’re still going up.
For example, TP&L uses thousands of racks ... a
small but essential piece of hardware which is
attached to poles as a support for power lines, in 1952,
the price of a rack was only 49<t. Today, the price is
$1.00.
In 1952, TP&L spent about $23 million on new
generating plants, lines and other facilities needed to
produce and supply electric power. In 1972,
construction costs amounted to almost $110 million.
This increase was brought about partly by the
increasing demand for electricity and partly by
inflation. In recent years, environmental and esthetic
considerations have added new costs.
Power plant fuel, a major cost item to TP&L, has gone
up in price more than 500% since 1952.
Texas Power & Light, and most electric utility
companies, have a solid history of keeping electric
rates as low as possible, consistent with good service.
In fact, TP&L’s average charge per kilowatt-hour in
1972 was substantially less than in 1952.
However, if reliable electric service is to be provided
in the future, rising costs must eventually be passed
on in the form of increased rates to the consumer.
