A new community Pasture -
Range Improvement Program has
been .developed for the entire state
according to G O Hoffman, ex-,
tension range specialist Thi* pro-
gram Is sponsored by the T e x as
Plant Food Educational Society in
cooperation with the Texas Agri
cultural Extension Service
Awards totaling MOO will be giv-
en to the aix outstanding commu -
nities in pasture and range irp-
provement in each of the (2 state
districts All communities entering
will receive a certificate
It ia designed so that each farm-
er. rancher and community enter-
ing win* even if they do not re- j
ceive a cash award. You win b y
improving your pasture .range and
livestock conditions to obtain more
efficient production and increased
family income. Hoffman explain -
ed
The purpose of the program is;
four fold to increase the quality
and quantity of livestock forage,
to promote wiser use of grazing
lands, to promote better use of
cropland. and to stimulate com-
munity cooperation and Improve-
ment by individual* . and families
working together
Judging ia based on progress
made in pasture, range ami com-
munity improvement during the
past year Eighty percent of the
score is based on progress made
in forage production, utilization &
management of pastures and rang-
es The remaining 20 percent is
based on Improvement in commu-
nity life, such as building and re-
pairing and Improving of the com-
munity social and religious life
This is a program the farmer
and rancher can enter anti win,

New Study on
Pink Boll Worm
A method of screwwortn eradica-
tion which has proven highly effec-
tive m the Southeastern states is
now being’quietly studied for its
possible application to pink b o II
worm control , t
The method is based on the re
lease of billions of screwworm
flies which have been rendered
sterile for reproduction by expos-
ure to radio-active cobalt, Since
July, rosg, more than two and
three quarter billion sterile flt.es
have been turned loose over nearly1
SS.ono square miles in Florida and
parts of Alabama and Georgia It
has been amply demonstrated that
sterile male flies mating with na-
tive female flies produce eggs
which do not hatch, thus eventual-
ly obliterating the species.
The program has proven so ef-
fective that officials have reported
that no cases of screw-worms have
been found in Florida since June
17, and no cases have occurred in
South Carolina, Georgia or Alaba-
ma this year In this same area
the average of reported cases used
to run about 40,000 a month
Now the possibilities in the re-
lease ofv sterile, male pink boil
worms are being investigated. The >
tests are in progress to determine
the amount of Irradiation needed
to sterilize pink boll worm larvae,
pupae and adults. - ’
If this method of control i s
found to be feasible, as has been
the, case In the screwworm eradi-
cation program, it will require the
rearing of millions of pink boll
worms in the laboratory A synthe-
tic diet for the pink boll worm al
ready has been found. The pro-
blem now is to develop a techni-
que for rearing the cotton pest on
a mass-production basis.
Another phase of the screwworm
control program In the Southeast
is now under way, to deterixmne
its effectiveness on a long-range
basis following discontinuance of
sterile fly dispersal. The distribu-
tion of sterile flies was discontin-
ued in the southern part of Florida
last July 25 and no screwworm
cases have since been discovered
in that area In spite of intensive
new surveys and insoections.
Screwworm flies for further stu-
dy arc now being produced at the
I S Department of Agriculture
| research laboratory at Kerrvllle.—

I pound and
of 70 cent* per pound have been
announced for the I960 marketing
[ year which begins April h isaso
These prices are the same as for
the first five years of the program
running from 1954 through the 1959
marketing years, according to A
B Wooten, extension economist
Yearly production of shorn wool
is moving toward the 300- million
pound goal set by the law Esti-
mated 1959 production ia 252 mil-
lion pounds, the highest since IMS,
and compares to 234 million pound*
in 1954, the first year of the wool
payment program Stock sheep
numbers increased 3 percent dur
ing 1957 and 4 percent during 1954,
and on Jan 1, 1969 were the larg-
est since 1946
ASC offices are completing pay-
ments for the 1958 marketing year,
the fourth year of the program
The shorn wool payment rate for
the 1858 marketing year was 70 3
per cent, the percentage required,
to bring the average price of 36 4
cents p«r pound of shorn wool,;
grease basis, up to the 64 cent in-
centive level This results in a
payment of 170 30 for every *100
received from the sale of shorn
wool. Wooten noted The payment!
rate on unshorn lambs was S1U3
per hundredweight of live lambs
marketed
The payment rates for the 1958
marketing ye&r were higher than
anticipated because prices receiv -
ed by growers for wool declined to
the lowest since 1941, reflecting the
drqp in wool price* In the world
market of 40 percent from m i d -
1957 through early 1959
Through August II. 1959. pay-
menu for the 1965, 1966, 1967 and
1958 marketing years were approx-
imately *307 8 million. A small
percentage of 1958 payments is yet
to be made From this amount.

Council. Inc
particularly subject to, is the cli-
matic cycle The state suffers
from periods of drouth followed by
several years of relatively heavy
rain, this recurrent phenomenon
has a direct and profound effect on
the supply of beef, cattle going to
market, without regard for de -
mand. During long periods of drou
th, such as the one that ended in
1957, cattle raisers are forced to
sell off their beef cattle because of
poor range conditions and lack of
feed;; as the drouth becomes more
severe, cattlemen have to sell a
portion of their basic breeding1
herds Of course, parallell to poor
range conditions la the fact that j
hay and feed production is very
low during drouth years ma k ing
these commodities expensive
Though the number of calves born
gone Into what amounts to cattle during an extended dry spell d e-
creases rapidly, in spite in this the
number of cattle going to market
remains very heavy and exerts
heavy downward pressure on cat-!
He prices Of course, when t be
rains come again, and pasture and
feed conditions improve, farmers,
and ranchmen start building up
their depicted herds
The first phase of this replenish-
ment program involves the buying
of new breeding or stocker cattle
A large demand for this type by
cattlemen starts market prices
moving upward At more or less
the same time the second phase of
this program, which involves t he
dedication of mew calves to breed-!
ing herds rather than to the open
market, tends to curtail the gener
al supply, compounding the u p
ward pressure on the price of cat
tie This Interaction affects t be
price of virtually all grades
In other words, a replenishment
effort, such as the one that has
been going on in Texas since 1957,
imposes strong upward pressures
on the cattle market from both
sides of the ledger. Although these
two cycles are Inherently entirely
separate from each other. they
can work complementarity to one
anotjier^ —(Texas Business Ro-
tors have gone into various forms
of feeding and finishing operations
Today's cattleman has modern
machinery, good transportation
and abundant information on every
phase of the business to aid him
in planning and carrying out his
operations In short, the Texas
cattle industry is in many respects
a different kind of industry from
what it was a generation ago
Most of the changes Is has un-
dergone have strengthened i t s
place as a major source of the
state's agricultural income
Last year Texas cattlemen re-j
ceived a total of approximately
*486.890,000 from the sale of catUe
and calves, which amounted to a 1
percent Increase in revenue from
this source over a year earlier ,
However, this amount was 43 per-
cent below the state s all-time high
of *898,252.000 received In 1951 To
properly understand the signific-
ance of the above variations, it is
necessary to take a look at t h e
long range behavior of the cattle
market and the mam influences on
the supply and demand factors
that cause the violent cyclial fluc-
tuations of this market
In other words, the price of beef
cattle and calves on the open mar-1
subject to the law of supply
and. There are iwo dis-
that primarily affect
the supply of beef cattle being
marketed at any particular t i me
One of these is caused by the cat-
tle producers adjusting the sixe of
their herds to meet current d« -
mand That Is. when the market
price of cattle, all grades including
calves, starts to increase, produr
ers begin to increase the sixe of
their herds, thus increasing pro-
dnotion in .order to take full advan-
tage of the higher market prices
Irtsyajrn the increased supply forces
the high prices to break and t b e
market begins the downward side
of the cycle When prices break
cattlemen curtail production that
■uses prices to rise again

COLLEGE STATION. - A na-
tional marketing quota referendum
for peanut' growers, the first in
three years, will be held on Dec-
ember 15, according to Searcy
Ferguson, chairman, Texas Agri-
cultural Stabilization and Conser -
vation Committee. The balloting
will determine whether or not
marketing quotas will be in effect
for the next three crops of peanuts.
If at least two-thirds of the votes
are favorable, quotas will be in
effect for the 1960, '61 and '62
crops of peanuts. Penalties will
apply to “eicess" peanuts, and
price supports wiil be available to
growers who comply with their
acreage allotments at the full lev-;
el of support announced, said Fer-
guson
If more than one-third of the vot-
ers oppose, quotas and penalties
will not be in effect for the 1960
peanut crop, and the level of price
support to eligible growers will
drop to 50 percent of parity in
. such a case, another referendum
would be held in 1960 for the fol-
lowing three crops.
A grower will be eligible to vote
in the December 15 referendum,
Ferguson said, if he is entitled to
share in 1959-crop peanuts planted
for harvest as nuts on a farm hav-
ing more than one acre of peanuts
planted.
Peanut marketing quotas have
been in effect each year since
1949 In the last referendum, quo !
tas for the 1957, '58 and '59 crops
were favored by 93 5 percent of the
growers voting.
