BIG CROP LOSS
TO BUGS SEEN
Washington. — Because of
the mild whiter, insects may
destroy a record amount of
food and fiber crops this year.
The Agriculture department
says the potential crop dam-
age trom three pests alone
may reach close to $1,000,-
000,000 if the weather re-
mains favorable. This could
reduce the crop "surpluses”
now in prospect.
The three pests are the boil
weevil, the European corn bor-
er, and the grasshopper.
The boll weevil probably
will enter 1050 cotton fields in
record numbers, the depart-
ment said. It and other pests
are credited with destroying
$470,000,000 worth of cotton
last year.
A record number of corn
borers were said to be winter-
ing in fields of the corn belt
last year, this insect caused
crop losses estimated at $350,-
000,000.
As for grasshoppers, "huge
numbers" of their eggs were
Vastly Improved School
System At Small
Cost to Taxpayer
Austin, Tex., Feb. 11.—Tex-
as’ rapidly growing public
school system is costing only
one-twelfth more of every tax
penny than the total expend-
ed ten years ago.
The surprisingly small in-
crease in apportionment of the
total tax dollar in the decade
starting with the 1939-40
school year is due to several
factors, Charles H. Tennyson,
Director of Public Relations . _ , .. . -

said. “In addition the dollar; q/v up * w UAV
of today has a 1939 purchas- ^ rULAV I MAI
ing value of 59 cents. BE GIVEN AWAY
“Texans indicated their de-
sire for better schools when
they approved the Gilmer-Aik-
in bills which re-organized our
school system and set higher
standards, but I am pleased
that the increased cost takes so
little more of the total tax dol-
lar than it did ten years ago.

86,000,000 pounds of butter
Washington, Feb. 28.—Ag-
riculture officials said today
the government may have to
start giving away butter to
needy American families.
The Agriculture Department
already has offered to give
away to public welfare agen-
1 cies huge stocks of surplus po-
und fried
Tennyson noted, but said that
the percentage of total govern-
ment cost for public schools
jumped only from 30.31 per-
cent in 1939-40 to 30.43 per-
cent for the present school
year.
Public schools this year will
cost an estimated total of
$155,213,552 in revenue deriv-
ed from state and federal
found during department sur-,funds. The total cost of all
veys last summer. The great govemmentla services includ-
threats appear to be in Mon-' ing education is estimated at
tana, North Dakota and $510,000,000.
"Secondly, the state has ex-
panded services of other kinds
to its citizens more rapidly
than the public school pro-
gram has been expanded.
“By 1948-49 the pupil at-
tendance and ■ the number of
teachers had passed the pre-
war level of 1939-40, yet the
proportionate part of total
government expense was not
going to the schools. In fact,
the position of the schools on
the tax dollar scale
from 30.31 percent to 27.49
percent
“But to sum it up. Texas now
has a vastly improved school
system, which makes for bet-
ter citizens and a more pros-
valued at more than $50,600,-
000. The butter was bought
to bolster dairy prices in 1949.
Prospects - are the department
soon will have to start buying
up even more butter under its
1950 support program.
Thus, officials said the de-
partment soon will have to
start disposing of 1949 stocks.
They said the department can
get rid of the butter through
two possible outlets. 1. Give
away the butter to welfare
agencies for distribution to the
needy in this country, or 2. Sell
