Crop, livestock query
documents due mailing
During late May and June,
many Texas farmers and
ranchers will receive a crop or
livestock questionnaire from
the Texas Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service or will be
personally interviewed by the
service’s field staff. The in-
formation gathered through the
questionnaires and interviews
provides the basis for deter-
mining the acreage devoted
to the various crops and
midyear livestock numbers for
the state of Texas and each
county.
Crop and livestock reports
provide a dependable, unbiased
picture of Texas’ most im-
portant industry — agriculture.
The estimates in these reports
are tools to help farmexs and
ranchers work out their plan-
ting, breeding, feeding, storing,
producing, and marketing
plans.
Farm organizations- and
legislatures use them in
planning programs. The
estimates are also used in
establishing the various
government program acreage
and payment levels to farmers
for the state and county.
Extension economists and
private farm and ranch
management consultants use
them as a basis for advising
farmers and ranchers.
Exporters use them in
planning and promoting the
sale of agricultural products
abroad.
Prompt and accurate com-
pletion of the survey forms
provides for more reliable
estimates and helps to reduce
survey costs.

Be informed
The Texas Railroad Commission is far too important to the
proper conservation and management of Texas energy re-
sources to elect a Commissioner on the basis of vague informa-
tion, mistaken identity or a general "feeling" about a candidate.
Make sure you know the facts before you vote!
Did you know Jim Nugent:
• Is uniquely qualified to handle the complex technical and legal matters that
come before the Commission, thanks to his background in law and
engineering.
• Has almost 20 years of service to Texans, first as a State Representative, now
as our Railroad Commissioner.
• Successfully introduced and passed the first "ethics laws" for elected Texas
officials . . . and completely revised the state's penal statutes improving crim-
inal prosecution procedures without violating individual rights.
• Is supported by a broad cross-section of conservative, moderate and liberal
Democrats who know he's the best man for the job!
• As a member of the State Legislature and as our Railroad Commissioner, is
respected and known as a tough, independent and dedicated public servant
who has consistently fought for the rights of Texas consumers.
Did you know that Jim Nugent's opponent,
Jim Hightower:
• Has no qualifications to serve. His only background is having worked as editor
of a radical left-wing newspaper (he calls himself an "investigative reporter")
and working for a former liberal senator.
• Is the candidate of Ralph Nader, George McGovern, labor organizer Caesar
Chavez and a group of Northeastern liberals intent on buying a seat on the
Railroad Commission so the Northeast can continue to buy cheap energy from
Texas.
• Is basing his campaign on hopes that the electorate will confuse his name—
Jim Hightower—with well-known conservative Congressman lack Hightower.
lim Nugent has been endorsed by major newspapers’ throughout the
state. They have carefully considered qualifications of the two candi-
dates, and have chosen jim Nugent as the best man for the job.
'Jim Nugent has been endorsed by the Austin American-Statesman, San Antonio
Light, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News and the Dallas Times Herald. As
of April 22, no major newspaperin Texas has endorsed his opponent, Jim High-
tower!
