OUTLOOK FOE, LIVESTOCK PRICES
With fewer hogs to he marketed
this fall and winter and with large
non-evi lian pork purchases, the hog
priee outlook is more promising than
a year ago, the Department of Agri-
culture says. Total calf slaughter
this year wall reach an all-time high.
The large slaughter has resulted from,
high butterfat prices in relation to
dairy cow prices, a Aveak demand for
calves by cattle feeders, relatively
high prices for \Teal calves for slaugh-
ter and record nunfbers of coavs on
farms. Prices for lambs are likely to
average higher this fall and Avinter
than a year ago, and eAve prices noAv
loAvest since the fall of 1941, are ex-
pected to continue loAArer than a year
ago.

SONG OF A TEXAS SOLDIER
Oh glory, I’m a Texan,
And I’m proud as I can be.
I’m headin’ back to the state I love
Just as soon as the AA7orkl is free.
I love the land I left behind;
It’s the grandest, biggest state.
Among the people of the Avorld
We Texans really rate!
j Though Ave don’t Avear our boots
and spurs
To sltOAV Ave’re Texas guys,
j You’ll knoAV Ave’re from the Lone
Star State
By the proud glint in our eyes.
We’re rough, and tough, and hearty
And can take it on the chin;
And whenever there’s a battle,
We guys are the first ones in.
Old Hitler surely has a fight
With Texans on his trail,
And soon lie may be rotting
In a sturdy, Texas jail.—Contributed.
