TEXAS FARM
INCOME OFF
8 PER CENT
AUSTIN — The University of
'T«xas Bureau of Business Re-
search reports Texas cash farm
income for the first 11 months
of ’.1955 totaled $1.55 billion, 8
per cent below the comparable
1954 period.
The 1954-55 comparison for
January-November shows 12 of
the 19 major farm commodities
registered decreases. Cotton was
down 7 per cent; cottonseed, 20
Iipr cent; wheat, 33 per cent;
calves, 35 per cent; hogs, 27 pej*
cent; wool, 24 per cent; poultry,
1 per cent, and milk and milk
products, 1 per cent.
Peanuts showed the greatest
gain among farm commodities,
with a 133 per cent increase.
Other crops showing gains were
corn, 2 per cent; grain sorghum,
6 per cent; sheep and lambs, 10
per cent; mohair, 67 per cent;
eggs, 4 per cent, and fruit and
vegetables, 9.per cent.
' The Bureau notes that many
East and Central Texas counties
will be allotted increased acreage
in 19 56," under county acreage
allotments established by the U.
S. Agriculture Department. How-
ever, allotments show a 7 per cent
over-all reduction for the state,
and a number of counties on the
Plains and in the Rio Grande
Valley were cut materially.
Preliminary statistics point to
a continued shift of Texas beef
cattle population from the the
western part of the state to the
eastern regions. However, a 1954
census shows the total number of
cattle in Texas has declined 12.7
per cent since 1900, from 9,429,-
296 to 8,235,535.

percentages of new equipment in
the electric industry.
During the same decade, the
average cost of a kilowatt-hour

Power Company
Sets $1,200,000
For Expansion
Continued growth and expan-
sion within its 45,000 square mile
service area will make it necessary

struction in 1956, it has been
announced by A. R. Watson of
Amarillo, executive vice president

tory—and so does our need to
keep abreast of the continuing
demands for service of our cus-
tomers. Although we have spent
more than $160,000,000 in the
last 10 years, we must continue
our construction and expansion
at a high peak to assure adequate
electric power for all parts of
our region,” Watson said.
Largest expenditure in the com-
pany’s 195 6 construction program
will be made at the new Cunning-
; ham Station, west of Hobbs, N. M.

spent. for service extensions to
customers, while $2,700,000 will
go for transmission line and trans- j
mission system substation con-1
struction. New distribution facil-!
ities, the lines whch actually pro- I
vide the connecting link for the!

an expenditure of more than.
$1,000,000. |

A modern water heater is fast, safe, clean and economical ... so, of course, the
modern water heater is electric.
Mrs. Hall says: “I like for the water to be really hot when I use my dishwasher
and my washer-dryer combination. Our-busy family makes many demands for
hot water, and our electric water heater does a perfect job.
Mrs. Hall enjoys the exclusive plus value of extra storage space, which electric
water heating offers, too. “Even our linens can be stored above our electric
water heater.”
The supreme test for a water heater? Keeping up witn the needs of a growing
boy. “Our son, Jimmy, like most young athletes, requires a dependable supply
of hot water.”
And the father looks to safety. Mr. Hall, immediate past president of the New
Mexico Junior Chamber of Commerce, says: “I often find it necessary to make
out of town tripsjn my business, and I appreciate the fact that our electric
water heater is absolutely safe.”
For every member of your family there’s a modern way to heat water. Of
course, it’s electric.
