- 20 Yearn Experience
On the basis of these weekly
reports, the Department lias de-
termined that transportation
“crunches” could occur in a num-
ber of places unless farmers
move now, to fill their fertilizer
needs, the ASCS officials said.
Qoe reason for this is that local
dealers cannot replenish taeir
fertilizer stocks until they’ve
moved out supplies on hand, the
County Committee chairman
pointed out. This means that
even though fertilizer companies
may. have plenty of backup stocks
elsewhere, they can’t move them
intc Bosque County until local
space is available.
Another problem this year is
(hat wet fall weather last year
kept farmers from plowing down
fertilizer then, creating greater
demand this spring. A third rea-
son is that more acreage has
been freed to meet domestic and
worldwide needs for feed and
fiber, creating a bigger demand
for production inputs the year
than normal.
“All of these factors together
can spell real trouble, the ASCS
official said, “unless farmers act
now to- get their fertilizer and
keep fertilizer supplies moving
throughout the entire transporta-
tion system. Remember, that
even though taking delivery of
fertilizer before you are ready to
put it down can mean handling
it twice, it’s better to double-
handle your fertilizer than to be
caught short this year when price
prospects are good in most areas
of the country.”
Jr. Hi Cubettes
Run in Relays
At Gatesville
The Clifton Junior High Cub-
ettes participated in the Gates-
ville track meet last Saturday
in that city. The local team mus-
ter eo together 99 points to place
fourth in the team totals during
the meet.
The Jr. Cubettes 440 relay
team, composed of Deb Morrow,
Janet Conrad Sis Ludwig, and
Fam Chapman, placed third.
In the 440-yard dash, Lisa Ab-
ercrombie placed third, and in
Ihe 220-yard dash Janet Conrad
placed fourth.
Abercrombie also took sixth in
the 80-yard hurdles.
The 880-yard relay team of
Morrow, Sherry Finstad, Janet
Sanders, , and Ludwig placed
fourth.
In the 100-yard dash, Pam
■yhapman"J(won first, and in the
60-yard dash Chapman won brut
a"d Morrow won fifth.
Monica Phillips won fifth and
Barbara Any, won sixth in the
880-yard run.
The Junior High Cubettes mile
relay team, composed of Janet
Sanders, Sis Ludwig, Sheri Gray
and Janet Conrad, added another
first place to their winning rec-
ord in that event.
In the field events, Lynn Ca-
nuteson won fifth in the shot pul.
Janet Conrad took fifth in the
high jump and Lisa Abercrombie
took third in the triple jump. The
broad jump was won by Pam
Chapman and Lisa Abercrombie
placed sixth.
Also of special interest during
the Gatesville meet, was the
points added to the team total
by one of the individual mem-
bers of the local track team. Pam
Chapman won three first places
to accumulate a total of 33 points
for the day. Miss Chapman won
first in the 60-yard dash with a
time of 7.6 and first in the 100-
yard dash with a time of 12.2.
She also took first in the broad
jump during field events with a
leap of 16 fget,. 9, inches.
H. J. (Jake) Wimberly, coach
of the Junior High Cubettes, said
that as far as they could tell at
this time that the leap made by-
Pam Chapman in the broad jump
was a new state record.
The local Cubettes will travel
to Midway Saturday for their
final track meet of the year.

Eggs Praised
By Specialist
“Any way you figure it, eggs
are a great value,” says Dr.
David Mellor, poultry marketing
specialist for the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service, College
Station. “Eggs may be used in
many ways to provide an inex-
pensive source of protein
“Protein is probably the most
expensive and ore of the most
plentiful nutrients in the Amer-
ican diet, considering the fact
that we need much more protein
than either vitamins or minerals.
The average working man re-
quires 65 crams of protein daily.
Although it’s best to utilize a
varied diet, eggs could help sup-
ply this needed protein moi c eco-
nomically than most foods,” says
Dr. Mellor. t
“Even though egg prices arg
higher r.ew than they have been
in a long time, they are still
cheap,” contends Dr. Meilor,
“when compared with other pro-
tein fowls.”
Low nrices during the past two
years were caused by successful
poultry management. Poultrymen
produced too many eggs due to
disease eradication. Now, in-
creased feed prices and die in-
creased price »©f red meat have
raised egg prices.
Even at 75 cents a dozen, the
average factory' worker can pur-
chase 5.4 dozen eggs today with
one hour of labor. That same
hour bought only 4.1 dozen eggs
in 1959, notes the specialist.

Painting ftps
Arp Suggested
Painters can do better work
around Ihe house with several
basic guidelines, according to
Patricia A. Bradshaw.
The housing and home furnish-
ings specialist, Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service, Texas
A&M University, College Station,*
first suggested painting in a
room kept at 60-70 degrees to per-
mit smooth paint application.
“Also, the home painter cau
cut drying time, fumes, and odors
by creating good cross-ventila-
tion.
“Before painting, remove as
many furnishings as possible
from the room, and cover re-
maining furnishings and floors
with drip cloths or newspapers.
“Also remove light-switch and
wall plug plates—they can be
painted before reinstallation on
freshly painted walls.”
Miss Bradshaw advised paint-
ing “like a pro.”
This includes dipping only the
bottom third of the bristles into
paint to avoid drips and splatters.
When splatters occur, remove
them immediately.
“When using latex paint, exces-
sive dripping results in quick-
drying paint build-up on roller
nap or at the base of brush bris-
tles To prevent, wash brush or
roller with water occasionally.”
During long interiuptions cover
the can and suspend brush or
roller in water (for water-base
paints) or turpentine (for ($i-
base paints).
Between jobs keep paint can
tightly closed, and clean brupii
or rollers, the specialist stressed.
“To clean applicators dipped iii
latex paint, wash with soap and
water, then rinse thoroughly.
“For brushes used in oil-base
paint, loosen paint in turpentine
or thinner. Then work bristles
against bottom of container. To
release paint in brush center,
squeeze or work bristles between .ji
thumb and forefinger. Rinse
brush again in turpentine or
thinner.
‘‘Finally, rinse brusli in mild
soap suds and then in clear wa-
ter, Straighten bristles, then
wrap brush in heavy paper or
aluminum foil.
“Store brushes by hanging cr
placing them fiat—never stand
brushes on bristles. Rollers
should always be hung when
stored,” the specialist concluded.
Beef Brochure
Offered by State
A new brochure, “Facts About
Texas Grain-Fed Beef,” is a CO'
operative effort of the Texas De-
partment of Agriculture and the
Texas Cattle Feeders Associa
lion, reports Texas Agriculture
Commissioner John C. White.
Explanations on the six basic
methods of cooking beef are
given in the brochure. There is
also information on care and
storing of fresh beef and on
freezing and defrosting.
Included are time and tempera'
ture tables for beef cookery
broiling, and braising. Carving
instructions for rib roast, bone
less cuts, and Porterhouse steaks
are detailed.
“In this time of high-priced
meat, we need to know all we can
about the best ways of preparing
it. The brochure goes a long way
toward answering many, if not
all, of your questions about get
ting the most from your beef
dollar,” Commissioner White ex-
plained. <

An agricultural revolution that
could Man the .end of hunger
and starvation is taking place,
according to an economist with
the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, College Station, but
must be clqsely watched if it is
to be successful.
Terpoed the “Green Revolu-
tion,” the change was once ac-
yMmed as tpe solution to the
world food crisis. Groups of in-
ternntipnl experts developed new
strains of wheat, rise, and corn
thought to be. so highly produc-
tive that they could meet cur-
rent demands aud future popula
-lion growth requirements for
I......
But despite the phenomenal
success of the plant breeding pro
gram, few people have concluded
since 1967 that- tho crisis has been
averted or even pushed far into
Ihe distant future. Dr. Clive Ral-
ston, a professor in the Depart-
"Greatest Challenge1
Is Facing Agriculture
“Widespread concern over food
prices, less farm price support,
and a possible cut in federal
funds for agricultural research
and extension all mean that
Texas agriculture faces its great-
est challenge in the years just
ahead,” said Dr. John Hopkin.
Dr, Hopkin beeame head of the
Texas A&M University Depart-
ment of Agricultural Economics
and feral Sociology, College
Station, April 1.
Dr. Hopkin. in accepting the
appointment said, “Farmeis and
ranchers are palled on to produce
more and more food §nd fiber
but to hold down the prices they
ask for their products. Yet,
they’re caught in a flood of ris-
ing prices for everything they
buy to produce that product.
“Fawn debt is at a record
higdi, in spite of higher prices,”
noted Dr. Hopkin, who served 12
years with Bank of America in
San Francisco. “Farm debt last
year increased nearly as much
as the total farm indebtedness in
964 1*7.6 billion > for a total farm
debt of more than $70 billion.
“Why has farm debt increased
to 2% times its magnitude of
just a decade ago? And why, w'jth
record farm income, did farm
debt increase so strongly this
past year? There are several
reasons, of course, but most fall
into two broad categories.
“First, the capital, investment
per worker in agriculture has
risen sharply in recent decades
and is now twice what it is for
many dliier industries. This has
been mandatory fo remain com-
petitive. One farmer now feeds
51 people.
“Secondly, form families are
saving less and are starting to
live better, although farm income
is still only 80 percent of that of
the urban worker., instead of liv
ing a ‘get-by’ existence and plow-
ing every spare dollar back in
farming, they’ve bepn to spend
more income on the good things
all of us enjoy. And this has
meant that increasingly, as costs
went up and savings went down,
agriculture has had to borrow
money.
“Now what’s pur main concern?
It’s not the amount of debt as
much as its form. Far too much
of it is short term debt. We fore-
see, if present trends continue,
a very real problem with agricul-
tural finance. To aericulturul pro-
ducers and their financial back-
ers alike, I would make two sug-
gestions:
“First, far too many low and
poor yielding investments are
still being made' in agriculture,
tieing up large volumes of capi-
tal with very low turnover and
cash flow. Farmers look to their
lenders as their primary financial
advisors who should help them
avoid poor investments.
“My second sugeestign relates
to the maturity of farm loans.
There are far loo many loans
drawn to mature before 'he cash
is generated by the activity being
financed. A producer shouldn't
have to pay oft a loan before
selling the crop he borrowed
money to produce and market.
Financing of depreciable assets is
another problem. Annual loans
for purchasing farm machinery
are hardly defensible. Even 36
months is too short a time; five
years in most instances is more
realistic,” concluded Dr. Hopkiil.
mont of Agricultural Economics
ami Rural Sociology at ' Texas
A&M University, said.
The “Green Resolution” did
come about. India and Pakistan
—both nations with famine ever
present—doubled their grain pro-
duction with little increase in
cropland. Qther nations that haa
traditionally imported grain to
meet their needs began export-
ing grabi.
Yet population growth, drought,
wastage, poor distribution, and
other facers prevented the revo-
lution from reaching its goals,
Dr. Harslon said. Though agri-
cultural production increased 50
percent world wide in the last 15
years, the increase per person
was only 10 percent. Population
growth, for the most part, ale up
the otoer 40 percent
Today, only one-third of the
world’s population lives in an
area where the food supply is
good—that is, where the average
calorie consumption exceeds
bask; bodily requirements by five
percent. Eighty percent of these
peonlc are in North .America aad
Em ope.
One-seventh live where the sup-
ply is fair-to-average, cr where
ihe calories provided fall within
a range of five percent of the
basic requirements.
The rest of the world, com-
prising more than one billion
people or more than half the
world’s population, live in coun-
tries where the calorie supply is
between 67 and 95 percent of
what, it should be.
Calories are not the only crisis,
Dr. Harston added. About two-
thirds of the world is underfed
in terms of protein—the sub-
stance so vital to mental and
physical growth and health.
Despite the discouraging sta-
tistics, Dr. Harston remains op-
timistic about the ultimate suc-
cess of the “Green Revolution”
in solving world food shortages. .
Ho points to such continued ef-
forts of the “Green Revolution”
as the recent development of a
new maize that is not only re-
sistant to disease and highly pro-
ductive but also hieh in protein
—something no maize has ever
been before.
But such successful pushes arc
not) without their dangers, Dr.
Harston said. The tnrust of effort
that solves the problem often
brings a relaxing of attitude and
effirtPhaicreates even bigger
problemsk^"
Ignoring population growth and
concentrating on food production
is a major problem, he said.
Population, he feels, must be
controlled to the point of balance
with food production or the ef-
fort. is wasted.
Getting the food to the people
is another problem. Without et-
fective distribution, the first step
of Increasing supplies Is futile,
he said. ’This applies mot only to-
moving surpluses from, develop-
ed nations to underfed ‘ones but
to transferring supplies within
Ihe country itself.
The most permanent solution,
Dr. Harston said, is to increase
the incomes of the people in de-
veloping nations through im-
proved production and effective
systems within, the country to
distribute the production. With
this they win be able to pur-
chase their needs ip free mar-
kets and break away from de-
pending on handouts or starving
without them.
Checklist For
-.. I -
Kitchen Given
Patricia A. Bradshaw, housing
and home furnishings specialist,
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, Texas A&M University,
College Station, has described the
kitchen that requires a minimum
of chores.
“At least 20 inches of counter
space on each side of the sink
provides efficient work space for
food preparation and cleanup,”
she said.
“A kitchen with a sink and
range near each other is a step-
saver.
“For ease in serving food, load-
ing counters beside the range
and the refrigerator are invalu-
able. The refrigerator door should
open away from the loading
counter.”
The specialist described time-
saving kitchen arrangements
with sink, range and refrigerator
within a U or L shape.
“A two-wall — or aisle-type —
kitchen requires no less than four
feet of corridor between the ap-
pliances on each wall,” she
stressed.
“A one-wall kitchen also needs
at least four feet of corridor be-
tween appliances and tire wall op-
posite. In either case, this four
foot work space should not serve
as a traffic lane for those pass-
ing through the kitchen.
“A well-lighted kitchen—includ-
ing lighting overload and at each
major appliance — boosts effici-
ency.”
In addition, easily cleaned floor
and counler-top materials cut
kitchen maintenance time, as do
protective surfaces over tne sink
and range. Continuous counter
top between appliances also cuts
choices, the specialist said.
