programs Jlltv? been factors
in the increase. Several ot
thA newer varieties have
bedn bred for forage pro-
duction.
Atkins says Lhe increase
in tUtal acreage of oats has
brought Texas into fifth
place nationally. A closer
(ook at the oat acreage re-
veals that out of the total
acreage of more .than 3.3
million,. 790,750 acres were
planted for grain alone; 1,-
758,755 acres for grain and
forage and 844.050 acres
for forage alone.
The heaviest acreage of
oats is planted in the Black-
lands and in the adjacent
areas. Extension- District
four (Denton district) leads
in the acreage of oats plant-
ed for grain; District 8
(Central Texas) leads in
acreage planted for both
grain and forage while Dis-
trict 10 (South Central dis
trict) tops the state in the
acreage for forage alone.
All types - of livestock
thrive on oat pastures, says
Atkins and dairy as well as
beef cattle producers have
found by experience that
oats alone or in combination
with a legume can give them
one of the best of all win-
ter temporary pastures.
Atkins suggests to those
who may be interested in
planting oats this fall or
held in Schulenburg.

“No one can say for cer-
tain how much this year’s
polio outbreak will cost our
chapter in March of Dimes
funds.’’-Miss Clrira Roifech,
Chapter chairman, said.
“But lhatflis what these
funds are^ror. Regardless
of Jhe state of our Cha-ptei*
treasury, we can assure the
public . that all patients
needing assistance Will re-
ceive it.” ■« *
# “While patinets or their
pa rents are expected to
contribute what they can af-
ford to the cost of care,”
Miss Rottsch said, “it is not
the National Foundation’s
policy to expect a family to
lower its standard of living
io-tho point of hardship 1n~
order to pay the patien’t
bill. By hardship, we mean
mortgaging,a home or with-
drawing a son or daughter
from school, because of the
strain on family resource*
when polio strikes.”
In spite of the develop-
ment of the Salk vaccine.
Miss Roitsch pointed out,
polio will be a problem for
some years to come. No
