as No. 7078 is showing good pro-
duction possibilities in Taylor Coun-
ty, reports County Agent Elmo V.
Cook.
No. 7078 was developed by the
Lubbock Experiment Station, and
two Taylor County farmers, Hol-
land Tsaff of Merkel and Billie
McCasland, Bradshaw, believe that
the new selection may out-produce
Martin’s combine milo, which is
the most popular combine grain
sorghum in Taylor County.
McCasland obtained a small
quantity of pure line seed from the
Lubbock Extension Station twlo
years ago. He has multiplied the
supply and has . distributed quan-
tities of the seed over a large por-
tion of the county, where the crop j
is showing much promise.
College Station, Sept. 17.—In
growing winter legumes for soil
improvement it is important that
farmers plant the legume that is
best adapted for ^their particular
secion o# state.
E. A. Miller, agronomist of the
Texas A. and M. College Extension
Service, has compiled information
based on actual results with all
types of legumes that will be use
ful to farmers in selecting a winter
cover crop.
In northeast Texas, hairy vetch
is the best adapted legume on all
soil types\ Miller says. Austrian
winter peas in this area should
be confined to sandy or clay
loam soils. In the Southeast Texas
Timber Country, Willamette and
common vetch and Austrian winter
peas, as well as hairy vetch, are
suitable, while in the Gulf Coast
area, annual yellow blooming sweet
clover-is well adapted. Also suit- j
able for the Gulf Prairies are j
Willamette, common and hairy |
Vetch, and winter peas.
• In the Blackland belt, hubam
clover is gaining in popularity,
Miller says. However, Madrid sweet
clover, hairy vetch and winter peas
are successful in the northern por-
tion of the Blackland belt; and in
the southern section, annual yellow
sweet clover is well adapted foi
fall planting.
Hkiry vetch is the top legume in
the' West Cross Timbers area, and j

International food shipments re-
quired to maintain emergency diets j
in hunger-ridden countries during
1946-47 are expected to be smaller'1
than for the last 12 months end-
ing July 31.
If world production prospects
continue favorable, an increased
total output this year should more
than make up for the reduction in
food reserves.

College Station, Sept. 17.—At
least one Milam County farmer is
sold on the idea that hubam clover
is the best cash and soil building
crop that can be grown in the
blackland areas of Texas.
He is Carl Black of Cameron,
and he’s also Sheriff of Milam
County. In the Jones Prairie com-
munity, Black owns what is re-
ported to be “an old, eroded farm.”
On a 50-acre field that had not
been cultivated for two years, he
seeded Hubam clover last October
at the rate of 20 pounds an acre.
What he really had in mind was
strictly a grazing program, and
during most of the year, 83 sheep
and goats and 15 head of horses
and mules grazed the clover. In
addition, 20 heal of cattle and 50
hogs grazed the field at frequent
periods.
Although most of the clover was
naturally kept down by this con-
tinual grazing, in the sprig about
ten acres of the crop “grew so
rapidly that it made seed.” It did
make seed—7700 pounds of it—an
average of over 700 pounds an
acre, a yield that was made on the
“very poorest type of eraded land—
j land that would not bring $20 per
acre on the market.”'
Milam County Agricultural Agent
J. W. Stufflebeme reports that sev-
eral farmers in that area have
had similar results with this clov-
er, bearing out the opinion of
specialists of the Texas A. and M.
College Extension Service that
hubam clover is the best cash and
soil building legume for the black-
lands of Texas.
Farm prices of cotton August 15
advanced to a new high—133 per
cent of parity—reflecting higher
prices paid by farmers.
The longer-time phase of the! fa-
mine emergency is expected to
continue at least until 1947 crops
are harvested.

Under the ne:v Price Control Act,
extensive changes have been made
in the regulations affecting agri-
cultural commodities. The follow-
ing series of Questions and Answ-
ers cover the main provisions of
the new law as it will concern the
farmer; ■
1. Question. Now that OPA is
j back in operation, are there again
ceiling prices on farm products?
Answer: There are ceilings on
some agricultural products, fruits
and vegetables, and on all cereal
products. For instance, there are
no ceiling prices and will not be
any before August 21 on poultry,
eggs, leaf tobacco, livestock, milk,
cottonseed, soybeans and grains
or food products made from them,
except that food products made
from grain, such as flour, bread
and cereals now have ceiling while
feed products such as mixed feed
and mill feeds do not have.
2. Question: Are all of these
items automatically to go back
under controls on August 21?
Answer: Livestock, milk, cotton-
seed, soybeans and any food or
feed products made therefrom, also
grains, will have no ceiling prices
until August* 21. At that time,
ceiling prices will go back on unless
the Price Decontrol Board decides,
prior to that date, that any of these
items shall be decontrolled. Poul-
try, eggs, food and feed shall be
decontrolled, leaf tobacco and to-
bacco products made therefrom,
will take specific action by the
Price Decontrol Board on or after
thaT date to be recontrolled.
3. What is the Price Decontrol
Board? .
Answer: It is an independent
agency composed of three members,
appointed by the President with
the approval of the Senate, which
in general has the final say as to
which items shall be decontrolled.
Pittsburg (U.P.) — American
visitors to Yugoslav have received
the same “hostile treatment” as
the transport crews who were shot
down in flames over the countiy,
according to former pilot Wynn
Sullivan.
Sullivan was discharged a cap-
tain in the Army Air Forces about
the same time two United (States
transport planes were forced down
over Yugoslavia.
He said he flew two Army col-
onels to Belgrade last March and
spent 26 days there under “Ges-
tapo-like” surveillance.
“We were tailed everywhere we
went,” he said. “We had to have a
pass to cross the city line. People
were afraid to talk to Americans
because it placed them under sus-
picion. There was a death penalty
for being caught with American
money. We slept with our guns be-
side us. .

warm water over night before
planting. These soaked seed should
not be planted in dry soil. Gard-
ners should irrigate before plant-
resprouting. The county agent
believes that the treatment date,
July 17, was too late for best re-
sults.

Due to high temperature during
the late summer and early fall,
soil moisture is quickly lost through
evaporation. It is important to
stir the soil frequently to conserve
moisture and prevent packing. Gen-
erally, say the horticulturists, it is
^,fe to stir the soil about two inches
cents a throw. The difficulty was
that the parking places were on a

In irrigation, a shallow furrow
between the rows should be made,
so the water may run slowly and
penetrate to the root plants. This
system is better than a rapid ir-
rigation or sprinkling on the sur-
face of the soil.

Bureau Report
I Shows Drop In
Texas Farm Prices
College Station, Sept. 17.—Prices
i received by Texas farmers and
ranchers for a number of products
dropped during the month ending
August 15.
According to a report from the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
( in Austin, received by the Texas
| a. and M. .Extension Service, this
decline in prices offset to some ex-
tene the general farm price ad-
vances recorded in July. The re-
report showed slight to sharp drops
in prices received for grains, pea-
nuts, milk cows, chickens, and all
meat animals except hogs. The
most significant declines were in
prices of corn, grain sorghum, beef
cattle, calves, sheep and lambs.
Sharp advances continued on
cotton, cotton seed and hogs. Cot-
ton at 33.6 cents per pound was
the highest since july 1920, but
was still 2.6 cents per pound below
the peak of 36 2 cents reached in
| March, 1920. During the month,
hog prices were at a record high
of $20.30 per hundred pounds. The
previous record was $18.60 in Au-
gust, 1919.
Only slightly higher prices were
received by farmers during the
month for turkeys, dairy products j
and alfalfa hay!. Other farm
prices did not change significantly
during the period.
