This production was 18 per

of last year, and eggs in in-

the production for that month
would be much larger than a
year ago. For the first three
months of 1961, broiler chick
production in the U. S. totaled
almost '560 million compared
to slightly over 495 million for
the first quarter of 1960, an
increase of 11 per cent.

College Station — The num-
ber of broiler producing farms
in the South Central States in-
over the same period of last
year.
In March 1960, Texas farm-
ers received 17 cents per
pound compared to 15 cents
for the same month in 1961,
and respected slaughter of
broilers, from January to ea ly
April 1961, has been about 14
per.cent above the comparable
1960 period. In view of these
larger supplies, the price de-
clines from last year are not
surprising. If the broiler sup-
ply increases as expected, May
and June slaughter will be
above that of last year.

College Station — Would

es. A. M. Meekma, extension
dairy specialist, says this ad-

ed if each cow produces a calf
every year. Few herds reach
this goal, however, and the re-
sulting loss amounts to millions
of dollars annually. Most

Eight Central Texas lawmak-
ers, in a reply to Gov. Price
Daniel’s report to the people
say that raising (341,000,000
in revenue will require a
"broad coverage tax.”
Although five of the eight
voted with the governor during
the session, several objected to
a “hit and miss” tax approach.
Some say that people in their
districts object to selective
taxes on grounds that “it’s not
fair to tax my product and not
my neighbor’s.”
In the Wind — A number of
new approaches to tax plans al-
ready batted around during the
regular session are being work-
ed on by lawmakers during this
interim. Among plans being
considered are these:
1. By Rep Charles N. Wilson
of Trinity (sponsor of the 2
per cent sales tax passed by
the House last session)—a new
sales tax would be linked, Sia-
mese-twin fashion, with a cor-
poration income tax.
2. By Rep. George T. Hinson
of Mineola (a frequent spon-
sor of legislation favored by
the governor)—a 2 per cent
tax on every thing selling for
$6.00 or more, with the usual
food" and drug exemptions.
3. By Rep. Ben Atwell of
Dallas — selective excise taxes
of 2 per cent on a long list of
items, but generally exempting
the bed rock necessities of life.

The SCS planning technic-
ian, in assisting a landowner
in the development of a Basic
Plan, has the soil map in hand.
He knows the location of each
kind of soil on the farm or
ranch. He knows also, from
results of research and the
combined experience of many
landowners, which grasses,
clovers,, or field-crops, and
land treatments are best suit-
ed for each pasture or field.
The soil map, or soil inventory,

waiting period of two months,
would mean the loss of some

if the same bill had been passed

ly? (Aa done in 1969.)

Cotton Farmers
Need to Cut
Out Root Rot
College Station— To reduce
“dying-off” or root rot, a cot-
ton farmer needs to kn6w when
dry weather is expected for 10
days to 2 weeks. When dry
weather follows deep plowing,
root rot will be reduced, says
Harlan E. Smith, extension
plant pathologist.
Soil should be plowed 6 to
18 inches with a disk or mold-
board type. The drying of the
soil that follows help to kill
the root rot fungus. Deep plow-
ing and drying helps to kill
old cotton roots and roots of
susceptible weeds that harbor
the root rot fungus.
Deep plowing plug the turn-
ing under of a large tonnage
of old crop straw, stalks or
leaves will give added insur-
ance against root rot, Smith
continues. T/he deep plowing
and turning under of organic
matter can often be done in
one operation. Grain sorghum,
small grains, clovers and win-
ter peas, where adapted, are
often turned under to supply
organic matter. Cotton burs
have also been used. The or-
ganic matter must be turned
under deep in order to be ef-
fective against root rot the fol-
lowing season.
Following the deep plowing,
rain may occur before the soil
drys. When this happens the
deep plowing should be repeat-
ed or a resistant crop should
conceiving.
These losses are due to
breeding problems, which in-
clude any condition that inter-
rupts the normal breedin cy-
cle. An average of one and
one-half services per concep-
tion is normal, says the spec-
ialist. If your cows are re-
quiring three or more services
per conception, you've got
trouble.
What do you do about breed-
ing problems? Meekma offers
several recommendations and
says it will pay you to follow
them. These are: Use artifi-
cial breeding; put your own
bull “on the shelf” until he
