AGRICULTURE
By John C. White Commissioner
Texas Timber Production
Anybody want to build about
865,000 average five room houses
this year? Enough lumber will
be cut in Texas during 1957 to
do it!
If a 10-foot wide wooden belt
were needed around the eQuatoi
to hold the earth together, Texas
could furnish the material and
still have some left over. Or I
laid end on end, Texas’ yearly
lumber production would form I
a cor.tinous span to the moon.
The Piney woods section of
East Texas has made a real
comeback in the past 20 years.
Almost one million acres more
forest land exists tuday than in
1935 due to once cleared land re-
verting to woods.
Forests now cover 11,055,800
acres in the commercial timber
belt of East Texas. Annual in-
come exceeds 100 million dollars
from cut lumber, furnishing em-
ployment to over 50,000 persons.
The volume in sawtimber trees
totals 26 billion board feet. Soft-
wood sawtimber volume, mainly
southern yellow pine with some
cypress and red cedar, has risen
26 percent since 1935 in south-
east Texas. This big increase in
growth reflects the great pro-
gress made in protection and im-
proved forest practice during the

Our Cooper teams went to the
East Texas State Teachers Col-
lege tournament at Commerce
last week. Any-
one who went
to any of the
games certainly
had reason to be
proud of both
teams.
The girls first
game was with
JflEiilf £> Quitman. Coop-
JSmtd Jr er won 78 to 24.
High scorer was Wilma Strong
with 39 'points. Next the g.rls
played Alba-Golden and again
Cooper won. The score was 47-
21. Cooper’s high point was Wil-
ma Strong with 11 points. Bab
Janes, Fredda Newman and Joy-
ce Lovelady made 10 points each.
Cooper’s next game was with
Saltillo. Cooper won 57-21. High
point for Cooper was Wilma
Strong with 18 points. Cooper’,
played James Bowie Friday
morning and came out victorious
73-67. High scorer for this game
was Wilma Strong with 37 points.
In the finals Cooper defeated
North Hopkins. This evened a
hard fought series of four games
with this team. Each team winn-
ing tyvice. North Hopkins has one
of the toughest teams in the
state. They went to state last
year. The score for the finals
game was Cooper 73 and North
Hopkins 66. Bab Janes was high
scorer for that game with 32
points.
The team was awarded a beau-
tiful first place trophy and T. J.
Scott was given a desk set for
being the coach of the winning
team. Wilma Strong was award-
ed a trophy for being the most
valuable player in the tourna-
ment. Everyone should be proud
of this’ team.
The boys’ first game was with
Detroit. Cooper won this game
67-50. Cooper’s high scorer was
Don Smith with 26 scores. Larry
Smith made 22 scores. Cooper
then played Saltillo and won 72.
47. Larry Smith was high scorer
with 33 points. The boys played
Ector. Cooper won 58-54. Larry
Smith was high point with 19
points. Jerry Toon made 15
points and Don Smith made 14.
In the semi-finals Cooper play-
ed Cauyuga. Cauyuga won 65-
47. Don Smith was high point
with 17 points. Cauyuga played
that night and beat Quitman to
become the winners of ihe whole
tournament. Cauyuga seems to;
have a habit of showing up at
State pretty regularly. They are !
one of the toughest teams in the I
state. Our boys made excellent
showing against this tough team.
Cooper played their first con-
ference games January 8 at
Farmersville. The girls won 85-
23. Bab Janes was high point. I
She made 31 points. Wilma
Strong made 27 points. The boys

made 13 points each.
The Cooper B team girls play-
ed in the East Delta tournament, j
They played their first game
with East Delta and lost. In the
first game in the consulation bra-
cket they lost.
Cooper plays Rockwall here
Friday, January 11. Try to make
it!
