South booms again
Texas doubles growth
AUSTIN. Texas (AP) - Air
conditioning and perhaps better
race relations — as well as the
more publicized growth in oil
and gas exploration - were
factors in Texas’ population
boom during the 1970s, says a
University of Texas researcher.
Thomas Plaut of the Bureau
of Business Research said since
1970 population > and em-
4
ployment in Texas have grown
more than twice as fast as in the
nation.
He traced the beginning of
rapid growth in Texas and the
South to the boom economy of
the late 1960s.
“The South looked like a
particularly desirable location
for expansion in the late 1960s,
Lower gas cost;
higher food bill
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
congressional report says food
prices could shoot up because of
President Carter’s proposal for
a huge gasohol production
program in the next decade.
The report, issued F’riday by
the Office of Technology
Assessment, said the
multibiliion-dollar effort urged
by Carter could cause
“significant inflation in food
prices’’ because it would create
a shortage of grain.
Gasohol is produced by
mixing unleaded gasoline and
ethyl alcohol in a ratio of 9-to-l.
It has—net been produced in
large amounts until recently
because the cost of production
has pushed the retail price of
gasohol above that of ordinary
gasoline.
In an effort to reduce
American dependence on im-
ported oil, Carter has suggested
producing 500 million gallons of
alcohol by 1981, a goal the OTA
said cannot realistically be met.
The i congressional research
agency said it will take at least
until the middle of 1982 to reach
that level of production. It takes
about 5 million tons of grain to
produce 500 million gallons of
ethanol. This year's alcohol
production is estimated at 80
million gallons.
As the current grain surplus
caused by the Soviet grain
embargo and other factors
dwindles, the report said there
will be pressure to expand
production to an annual level of
1 billion gallons a year.
When that happens, the study
said, there will be a significant
strain on available grain
supplies, mainly corn, and
prices will rise. That will
require that alcohol production
either be slowed or other raw
materials used to produce it.
Mach Speed
The'word “Mach” is used to
describe supersonic speed. It
derives from Ernst Mach, a
Czech-born German physicist
who contributed to the study
of sound. When a plane moves
at the speed of sound if is
Mach 1 When twice the speed
of sound, it is Mach 2.
but the effects of these location
decisions did not become
evident in most areas until the
early 1970s because there is
always some lag between the
time a capital investment is
planned and when it is com-
pleted,’’ Plaut wrote in the most
recent Texas Business Review.
One factor that attracted
business, Plaut said, was the
widespread availability of air
conditioning, "which made the
southern climate more
bearable for work and living.”
Other factors included the
interstate highway system and
high defense spending
“weighted toward southern
bases and defense-related in-
dustry during the Vietnam War
Plaut said.
‘‘The environmental con-
sciousness” of the 1970s may
have speeded up the movement
from big cities in the North to
the South, said Plaut. He also
noted the South is characterized
by low living costs.
“Finally,” he said, “the
sudden deterioration of race
relations in the North — as
witnessed by the 1968 race riots
— and the apparent im-
provement of race relations in
the South may have accelerated
the movement of people out of
northern central cities in recent
years.”
Plaut predicted Texas’
population of 13,014,000 in 1978
would grow at an average
annual rate of 1.93 percent to
14.6 million in 1984. This growth
rate would be more than double
the projected national growth
rate of 0.94 percent a year.
“Strong growth tends to
generate more growth, and it is
difficult to reverse this process
once it begins,” said Plaut.
“On the other hand,” he said,
“continued growth will lead to
increased demands for public
services; create more pollution,
congestion, and other en-
vironmental problems; and
push up living costs and taxes.
Thus, over time, the costs of
growth may begin to outweigh
the benefits, and southern
growth wili slow down.”

cut the price
of our feed
If we didn't worry so much about ingredient quality, we could
make cheap feed.
But only the rich could' afford it. Low-grade ingredients and
leftovers can't hqlp turn your grain and roughage Into meat, milk
and eggs efficiently.
So MoorMan “spear carriers'' climb into each arriving shipment
of raw materials to probe deep for samples. And those samples
must pass test after test in oui quality control laboratories before
they can go into a Mintiate' or Premix trate‘.
It's easy to skimp on ingredients, but we re not interested. Low
price per ton lor our products just Isn't as important to a livestock
or poultry raiser as low total feed cost.
And you can' keep the total-low when you fortify grain and
roughage with a high-quality, one package MoorMan combination
of proteins, minerals, vitamins and other working ingredients.
Do some figuring soon with your MoorMan Man...
