must ba replenished to save
the land, a University of Texas
scientist says.
Dr. W. G. Whaley, director
of a new project tentatively
known as the Plant Research
Institute, and an associate
professor of botany, said that
sv study of grasses of Texas will
be undertaken by the Institute
after other projects are well
under way. An-aerial yiew.of
Texas shows-"the tremendous
losses of soil, and the need for
conservation of grasses, he
said. ' ■
The Institute is an enlarge-

“We. plan to take plants

VA regional office or to a coit-
tact office and fill out a form
which
eraiis

only two years,- its perform-
ance indicates a general adap-
tability for satisfactory yields.
Texas No; 9-W is the only Texx
as white hybrid now in pro-
duction, and it has given good
results over d wide range of
conditions*
Two of the.- many experi-
mental hybrids tested, a yel-
low and a white, were prom-
ising, and plans have been
jnadft by . the 'oxperimfipt sta-
tion to start their production
in 1947.
Summing up the test results,
experiment station men say
that the- field performances

No, Texas wouldn’t be the same without the Alamo, the Texas Rangers, or the natural
gas industry. The Alamo commemorates the bravg and brilliant past v. the Rangers
symbolize the orderly life of the present... the gas industry reflects the natural wealth
of the state—now and for the future.
Every cubic foot of natural gas produced in Texas contributes in.one way or another
to the welfare and well-being of every Texas citizen. It pays royalties to land-owners.
It pays taxes to the support of city, county and state. It provides jobs and payrolls that
ring cash'registers in nearly every business in the state. It provides fuel for thousands
of industries which, in turn, pay more taxes, employ more.workers, and turn more
money into their respective cities and towns. Indeed, it wouldn’t be Texas... without
the natural gas industry. . *
