Bentsen Seeks
Additional Federal
Judgeships For Texas
WASHINGTON Senator
l.loyd Bentsen said Wednesday he
believes Texas needs I I additional
federal judges rather than the live
prm ided in legislation pendingbelore
the Senate.
"we have a serious overloading
ol these dockets, civil eases are taking
years to be tried because ol the drug
eases," Bentsen said in a handwritten
note at the bottom of a letter he sent to
Senator Joe Biden (D-DclJ, chairman
ol the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Judicial Improvements Act
ol 1990, pending before Biden's
committee, would provide one new
judge m I he Northern J ml it lal District
i>1 Texas, none in the Iuisiern, three in
the Southern and one in the Western
I)iNiricts, for a total ol live.
Bentsen, in Ins letter and in a
personal conversation wiih Biden, is
isking for two new judges in the
Northern, one in the Kastern, live in
the Southern and three in the Western
! Jisiricts, for a total of 11.
1 must express disappointment
with the 'Judicial Improvements Act
itf 1^90." As you know, this legislation
seeks to create 77 new judgeships
nationwide. Unfortunately, it simply
does not create enough judgeships lor
lexas's lour judicial districts,
Bentsen said in a letter to Biden
"This inadequate numbcrol new
judges will virtually paralyze the
criminal justice system in the
campaign against drugs crossing the
,Vi xican border."
The S.aator noted that the
Southern and Western Judicial
Districts are on the "front line" in the
war on drugs. The boundaries of the
two districts cover the entire 889
miles of the border between Texas
and Mexico.
Duringa recent 16-month period,
judges in these districts sentenced 23
percent ol all defendants in the entire
country Criminal lilings there
exceeded the national average by 300
percent for the year ending June 30,
1989.
"Despite these overwhelming
percentages, these districts will
receive a mere 5 percent of the 77
new judgeships being created,"
Bentsen said.
"Like you,Joe, I donotconsidcr
the issue of new judges a political
one. Nor do I see it as a competition
between the states. I see it as an issue
ol national defense, agamsithc illegal
drugs llotxhng into this country I
appreciate your consideration. I hope
you will support my request,"Senator
Bentsen said.

36th Annual Beef Cattle
Shortcourse Set At Texas A&M
South Texas ranchers who want
to catch up on several new or current
topics will want to attend the 36th
Annual Beef Cattle Shortcourse which
will be held at the Texas A&M
University campus in College Station
on August 13,14 and 15 says Dr. Joe
Paschal,extension livestock specialist
from Corpus Christi.
The Beef Shortcourse, sponsored
by the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service and the Texas A&M Animal
Science Department will begin with
an open house in the deparunent's
Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. Building and
producers can get information
firsthand from professors and
researchers working on a variety of
subjects in beef cattle production.
Lunch will be provided courtesy of
the Texas A&M University Animal
Science Department during the open
house. Visitors will also be able to
browse through an agribusiness trade
show are while in the Kleberg
Building, Paschal said.
Tuesday, the second day of the
Beef Shortcourse, includes a
continuation of the trade show and
the opening of the seminar portion of
the event. Speakers will address
current and future issues facing the
American cattleman including health,
safety and animal welfare concerns
that can affect the production practices
of the beef producers. Tuesday
morning's segment will also include
a complete discussion of expected
progeny differences used in bee I cattle
selection with a panel discussion of
how ranchers can use this valuable
t<x)l to increase selection response for
desired production trails.
The Tuesday afternoon program
will focus on the animal welfare -
animal rights movement, breeding
herd management, hay quality and
pasture management and replacement
heifer development and management.
The final session on Tuesday will
cover the use of electronic
identification as a safe, economic and
simple method that can be used with
computers for rapid retrieval ol
information. A special lajita supper
and social will conclude Tuesday's
scheduled activities.
Wednesday morning's activities
will focus on the status of current
mineral work in deficiency and
supplementation traits, many of n
conducted in a 30 county area ol
South Texas, Paschal said, including
Gonzales, Goliad, Kleberg, Willacy,
Starr and Webb counties. The
usefulness of the information
presented in the morning program
will bedirectly applicable to ranchers
in our area tr> ing to determine if the>
have a mineral deficiency problem
and then seeking to correct it, says
Paschal.
The Wednesday afternoon and
closing session of the Beel
Shortcourse will include a series ol
live animal management practice
demonstrations at the Louis Pearce
Pavilion on campus. Ranchers can
get involved in hands-on experience
in selecting methods of beef cattle
identification, evaluating the female
reproductive status including bod>
condition scoring and pelvic area
measurements and routine cattle
working procedures including
vaccinations, sites and types, ear
implants and dewormcrs and
deworming methods.
This beef shortcourse is an
attempt to get back to the basics ol
beel cattle production for Texas
ranchers and is the same shortcourse
that used to be held and well attended
in the 1970s.
"This Shortcourse was
developed by purebred and
commercial beef producers and
ranchers, agribusiness representatives
and Texas and U.S. beel breed
association personnel to reflcct the
information needs of today's Texas
cattlemen. 1 urge anyone who is in
the beef business in South Texas to
attend. 1 know it is a long drive from
Laredo or Rio Grande City to College
Station, but it will be well worth the
investment in knowledge, skills and
personal contact wrtii the A&M
scientists working to solve your
problems," said Paschal.
The registration fee for the
conference is S40 per participant and
$20 lor their spouse. For more

For Drought and Flooding
Legislators Asked To Assist
Farmers Who Sustained Losses
WACO Texas Farm Bureau
President S.M. True,has called upon
the Texas congressional delegation
and Gov. Bill Clements to assist
farmers and ranchers who have
sustained sizeable financial losses tins
year due to heavy flooding, thought
and hot temperatures.
"It is important that your office
be aware of existing conditions both
in your district and around the suite,
and that your assistance w ill Ik- greatly
appreciated in what we believe is a
major situation," True told the
congressmen.
Alluding from recent reports by
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, True noted that die "entire
state is now too dry, even indccpEast
Texas w here our pastures are rapidly
declining."
True told U.S. Rep. Kika de la
Gar/a, chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee, that Texas
Farm Bureau has requested
congrcssi <nal field hearings to assess
the impact of the drought.
"Many areas of the state (i.e.
Live Oak County) have been under
severe drought conditions for up to
three years, resulting in noappreciable
production or income," True stated
in his letter to de la Garza.
Dr. Zerlc Carpenter, the
Extension Service director, retried
that the weather had caused severe
damage to cotton, grain and hay crops
in the state.
In the South Plains along, more
than a hall million acres ol cotton
will be "zeroed out" due to a complete
lack of germination and development
this summer, Extension leaders
reported.
The Lower Rio Grande Valle>
has been vers short ol moisture lor
some time. A double w hanimy exists
in that region since irrigation of
cotton can only be done in a limited
way due to the presence ol the water.
Additionally, thousands of acres
ol rangeland have been lost to
numerous fires across the state,
particularly in West Texas.
Vegetable production, too, has
been stunted by the lack ol moisture,
more noticeably south of San
Antonio that in spue of heavy
rainlall tin■. |u>t weekend.
A spul i sinan lor the Live ()ak
I \tension S rvice said Monday that
while the area has received some
spotty rainlall this week, "there
haven't been any drought-ending
showers yet.
