Clearly, the fault lies with
the farmer, or more accurately
with the agricultural experh
ment stations and possibly the
Department of Agriculture In
-tead of figuring out ways t o
grow twice as many heanx on
rhe same staik, the agricultural
scientists ought to be working on
a variety that’ll come up in-ide

Or take cattle A rancher can
get a steer to market for a cer
lain price, hut when the proers
si.rs get hold of it, that’s when
the cost mounts up, and by the
time the steak* get to the meat
counter wrapped in cellophane,
there'' no connection betw cen
what the rancher got and the
housewife pays Clearly, t h e
rancher is getting too little and
the housewife is paying too
much
Something ought to be d o ne

live steers inside a .supermarket
and see how far you get You’d
never get one wrapped satisfac-
torily in cellophane

mandate to pass a Congression-
al redistricting bill which will

equal population in each d I s-

assignment
MANY \NSWFRS
The Texas legislative C o on-
ril is already at w ork on t h e
problem' And you may rest as-
sure t th.iT- a lot "of individual
legislators between now. and
January will work out their own
specific solutions, all different
from all others, of course
It will be interesting to see
where the counties of my d i s-
t’rict (Sen Hist 19) will wind
up At. the present time. Rep
John Young’s District 14 i n-
cludcs Atascosa. Comal Gon/a-
I c s, Guadalupe, and Wilson
counties; Rep J J Pickle’s Dis-
trict 10 includes Rlanco, Cald-
welf, and Hays counties: R e p.
Joe Kilgore's District 15 has
Frio and Medina Counties; and
Rep X) C. Fisher has Kendall
County.
RFALIGNMENTS DUE
According to the 1963 census.
Young’s district had 539 262 oeo-
ple, Pickle’s had 353,454, Kil
gore’s had 515,7)6. and Fisher’s
had 262.742 if Texas has t e n
million people, the average dis-
trict would need about 435,000.
It follows that there will have
to h*> some realignments i n
these districts, and some folks
will necessarily have to Rive up
a "favorite" Congressman. O r,
putting it another way, some
Congressmen will have to give
up some "favorite" constituents.
BIG CONTRAST
Incidentally, the Texas d i s-
trict with the largest population
is District 5, comprised of Dat-
las County, with a 1960 total of
951,527, District 4 next door, the .
famous Sam Rayburn district,
is the smallest with 216,371.
That gives you a notioniof
what the hollering is allTfbout.

March rains this year amount-
ed to 3.55 as against only 1.1 for
the same period last year. The
agricultural outlook in the L u-
ling area is giwMi. The year is
5 inches ahead of last year's
rams Crop prospects are brigh-
ter than in many years. There
is more and better grass at this
season than some farmers and
stockmen can ever remember.
