Letters To Editor
Oct. 30, 1972
Dear Editor:
Maurice Angly- is one of the
few legislators who stood firm
last year and wouldn’t let the
big boys cover up their Sharps-
town wheeling and dealing.
He deserves a vote of thanks
from the people of Texas for his
role in exposing much of the
haiiky-panky.
Angly has raised the serious
luestion of why the incumbent
State Treasurer, Jesse James,
placed all that state money in
the Sharpstown bank. Mr.
James hasn't answered that
question raised six months ago.
Let’s elect Angly State
Treasurer. He’s earned the re-
spect-and confidence the office
deserves.
Sincerely,
* Bob Tyson

metric tons;, or two hundred- j
seventy-five million bushels, of i
corn to the Soviet Union'since
July 1. This compares with
about .four hundred million!
bushels of U. S. wheat sold to 1
the USSR since early July.
There was also a sale of some
forty million bushels of soy
beans to that country.
“These sales reflect not only '
| the poor grain crops in the
Soviet Union tiiis year, but also
increased feed requirement.- re
suiting from expanded livestock
and poultry production If the
USSR continues its effort to
Increase animal production, that
nation is likely to be a major
importer of grain, perhaps over
the next three to five years
This does not tell us who the
| suppliers will bo, but American
j producers should lie in a Mr on,'.:
I competitive position
Dr. Brunthaver said tha* th<
| “principle of - produeei .-ire
; that Congress wrote into .lie
j law in 1-970 is proving In
remarkably.....well suited to a
J situation of change such a
r have now. An example is 'the
| range of options available ,to
wheat farmers' as they : - -
j maximum advantage with re i
i spect to next year s crop. In
| the absence of .crop-by-crop
j .controls and marketing penal
lies, wheat farmers are. free to
- respond to market need-, Wei
| anticipate that the feed grain ,
program, to be announced m
' late November or. early Deo
I ember, will also, provide a
| maximum of flexibility, so that j
! producers can make .planting
| decisions that reflect the great
j est marketing opportunities."
The Assistant Secretary paid
tribute to the broiler industry
for its “success in producing a
| high quality produce at a re- -
twenty years, the consumption
of poultry meat per person in
this' country ha- gone up from
27 pounds to 50 pounds.”
Fix-It Tip
Learn how to Temove a
broken window pane your-
self. It isn’t difficult and the
cost of labor is likelier to
be higher than the cost of
materials.
In addition to the tools you
should have a pair of heavy
work gloves to protect your
hands from cuts and glass
splinters.
First remove the broken
pieces of glass. If it is only
cracked,,remove the putty,
then remove the glass in one
piece, Save the. triangular-
shaped metal glazier’s points
by pulling them out with
pliers. They can be reused
when you install new glass.

Texas farmers, are ahead of
harvest of the 1972 crops com-
pared to 1971, the Texas Crop
and Livestock Reporting Service
notes.
Cotton harvest is a third com-
plete now; last year at this time,
haivest was less Ilian a fourth
completed. Harvest will be un-
derway in the High Plains as
soon as weather conditions per-
mit.
Corn harvest throughout the
state is virtually completed. Less
than five percent of the crop
has, yet to he gathered,
Grain sorghum harvest is two-
thirds finished. Both dryland
and irrigated grain sorghum
yields ore reported as excellent
in the High Plains region. Soy-
tean harvest is, a third complete.
Harvest of the second cutting of
rice is making good progress,
while peanut Harvest is three-
fouitlfs finished.
Wheat planting lor the state
is more than 85 percent com-
pleted. Irrigated wheat ,is mak-
ing good progress.
Pecan harvest is gaining mo-
mentum and should be at Us
peak by the end of the w;.e^k,
,. Moderate, to Heavy rains, .are
increasing range and pasture
prospects. Fair to good grazing
is available in most areas on na-
tive pastures. Livestock condi-
tion for the state is rated good
Assistant Secretary o£ Agri- j
culture Carroll G.* Brunthaver
said recently that “American j
.agriculture’s ability to produce !
feed grains and soybeans sur-
passes ail foreseeable needs,
both at home and abroad." He -
said producers could take full
] advantage of. export opportun-
ities, without and. jeopardy to
l. S. supplies -of meat and
poultry products.
Speaking at the Annual Con-
ference of the National Broiler
Council, Dr. Brunthaver said
that, exports of feed grain's, 1
mostly cor'd, are substantially
above recent' years- “Still, we
expect the feed grain carryover j
at the end of this marketing I
year, next October 1, to be
about 41 million tons. This -
would be below the October ;
1977 carryover of forty-eight
million tons but well above the !
thirty-three million tons a year j
earlier.” • j

Why You Should Re-Elect
President Richard Nixon Nov.
LET’S LOOK
At AGRICULTURE
And
STOCK RAISING
WE HAVE one of the most abundant supplies of food in history. Our exports of
livestock, fresh meats, grain sorghums and grain are going to add many dollars to the
general economy.
v WE’RE SELLING COMMODITIES of which we’ve had surpluses—and we’re
helping provide jobs on trucks and ships at the same time.
HERE ARE SOME
OF THE REASONS
PRESIDENT NIXON’S AGRICULTURAL ACT OF 1970 gave producers
more flexibility and freedom in operations.
PRESIDENT NIXON’S ADMINISTRATION has turned around the farm
situation that saw farmers get an increase in income of 6 per cent between 1951 and
1969 while wage rates went up 6 per cent every year.
PRESIDENT NIXON gave agriculture one of the most effective spokesman in
recent history by appointment of JEarl Blitz as Secretary of Agriculture.

Sales of cattle, calves and
sheep increased throughout the
state during September, while
sales Of, goats and, hogs were
down. Cattle and ealves market-
ed through Texas auctions num-
bered 705,000; this is five per-
cent above a year ago.
Sheep sales were two percent
above a year ago. Hogs sold to-
taled 45,000 which is 32 percent
below h year ago.
Egg production in Texas to-
taled 199,000,000 during Septem-
ber,. down six percent from a
year ago and seven percent be-
„ low last month.

A new record number of peo-
ple visited the Food and Fiber
Pavilion during the recent Stall'
Fair of Texas. Almost 1,500,000
persons .went through the Pavi-
lion. Plans are already under-
way for the 1973 version of the
Food and; Fiber Pavilion. The
pavilion is operated by the Tex-
as Department of Agriculture
marketing division.
Cooler weather has slowed to
Some extent the screwworm in-
festations throughout the nor-
thern part of the state, but a
freeze deep into South Texas
will be needed to halt the worst
reoccurrence of the pest in more
than, a decade.
More than 85,000 eases of
serewwornis have been reported
to the screwworm fly factory at
Mission this year. Officials with
the program are continuing to
urge producers to submit sam-
ples to the l'ly lab for verifica-
tion.

that feed grain exports in the !
current marketing year are
now established at twenty-
eight. and a half million tons,
which would almost equal the j
record twenty-nine million ton's j
exported in 1965. He said:
