Oil Brings Pay
To Texas Workers
DALLAS, March 13. — Texas
workers x*eceive half of the money
spent in the production of Texas
oil, according to a .booklet just
issued by the Texas Mid-Conti-
nent Ojl and Gras Association. The
booklet, entitled ‘ ‘ Impor t a n t
Facts about Texas Oil,” is now
being distributed by the associa-
tion from its headquarters in the
Continental Building here.
Wages and salaries to Texas oil
production workers amount to
49 1-2 per cent of the net cost of
producing the average barrel of
oil in Texqs, the booklet shows.
One-eighth of the net cost dollar
r^oes to Texas tax-collectors for
State and local taxes. Supplies
cost about 26 1-2 per cent, while
depreciation, depletion, overhead
and Federal taxes m'ake up the
remaining 11 per cent.
To this net cost must be added
an extra one-eighth of the price
of the oil Which is paid as royalty
to the Texas farmer or rancher
who owns the land: on which the
oil is produced.
Texas petroleum -workers and
Texas farmers together receive
$400,000,000 a year in wages and
salaries and lease and royalty
payments from the Texas petro-
leum industry, the book shows.
Of this huge sum, the workers get
$272,000,000__ annually and the
farmers and other land-owners
$128,000,000. The $400,000,000
paid these two groups of Texans
is four-fifths of the total value
of all crude oil produced in Texas.
Texas tax-collectors get from the
petroleum industry an additional
$75,000,000 a year,

Anthony Raditich from Los An-

Take it from a landscape spec-
ialist — every farmer in Texas
should he familiar with the Triple
A’s 1941 provisions for a pay-
ment of $15 to each farm for the
planting and maintaining of trees.
This payment can be earned over
aind above the regular soil build-
ing allowance.
On the western plains and in the
Panhandle of Texas, hardwood
decidious trees are used in com-
bination with pines and other ev-
ergreen trees. AAA payments for
hardwood trees 'are made at the
rate of $6 per acre. Among the j
trees well adapted to the semi-ar-
id portions of the state are des-
ert willow, salt cedar, elms, ash,
honey locust, Russian olive, ju-
jubes, and red cedar, as well as
western yellow pine and Austrian
pine.
Thus, under the AAA provis-
ions, planting of 2 1-2 acres of
hardwoodi trees or 3 1-3 acres of
pine trees would earn the maxi-
mum of $15 which is available in
addition to the soil-building al-
lowance for the farm. Additional
tree planting could earn addition-
al payments under the soil-build-
ing allowance. For the cultivation
of forest trees planted between
July 1, 1937 and January 1, 1941,
the AAA will pav $1.50 per acre
as part of the soil-building allow-
ance for the farm.
Beware frost these early March
days. There is always a chance it
will appear suddenly and wreck
hopes for peaches and tender veg-
etables just beginning to renew
their life cycles.
Frost damages plants by freez-
ing the wateV in the small cells
which compose the leaves, buds
and fruit, says J. F. Rosborough,
Extension Service horticulturist
at A. and M. College. Freezing,
succeeded by thawing, breaks
Id own the cell structure and may
badly injure, or even-kill the parts
affected. Sudden thawing is as
harmful as freezing.
General ways of protecting
plants from frost are conserving
heat, by stirring the air, and by
adding heat.
Soil releases heat at night, but
if it is conserved there will bq
no damage. This may be done by
covering the ground with various
materials. Glass is one of the best
known, since it allows the incom-
ing rays of the sun to penetrate
freely but is almost impervious
to heat leaving the earth.
Rather heavy, closely woven
cloth laid directly over garden
trunk or growing plants is effect-
ive in protecting, against moder-
ate frost. Heavy paper, or several
thicknesses of newspaper, laid; ov-
er plants also protect. Spraying
trees with water as protection
against frost has been proved im-
practicable.
Heating the lower air to re-
place that lost by radiation is con-
sidered the most practical method
of frost precention. This gener-
ally is obtained from a large num-
ber of small fires scattered over
the area to be protected. The fires
definitely will warm the air with-
in 40 feet of the ground as much
as eight to ten degrees, provided
high winds do not exist.
A large number of small fires
is more .effective than fewer large
fires. A smudge pot to each tree,
or a. pile of burning wood to each
tree is best.
Notice has been received by C.
P. McCullough, county clerk, from
William J. Lawson, Texas secre-
tary of state, that all existing no-
taries will be automatically re-ap-
pointed by the state office for the
period June 1, 1941-June 1, 1943.
Persons who are not notaries at
the present time, who desire to be
appointed, should write to the
county clerk, and give their cor-
rect name and address before May
1, 1941.
Applications for appointments
received after that date will not
be acted on by the state office
until after June 1, 1941, for the
reason that employes will be busy
from May 1 on preparing the list
of appointees.

GAS WAR IS WAGED ON
RABBITS IN BRITAIN
Ruthless gas war already has
begun in Britain but it ’s not what
you think it is.
It is being waged by the Brit-
ish on millions of rabbits, which
are costing the British between
$120,000,000 and $160,000,000 a
year in foodstuffs that might be
going for human consumption.
“A rabbit will eat as much as
a sheep,” it was explained. “They
devour young corn and other
green foods. Even before crops
begin to appear, rabbits sabotage
food production by the way they
treat the land'.”
Ferrets and traps having failed
to eliminate the rabbits, the Brit-
ish have turned to gas to do the
job.
