How I had dreaded cleaning the attic! But it was all worth it after I found
the picture of Nip and Tuck when they were puppies. I sat down there and then
in the cold, dusty room and recalled the day when Bob brought them home to
Carol. How she laughed and loved them and flung her arms around both our
necks in excited gratitude. How much fun we three had, watching the cunning
antics of the canine infants.
Nip is gone now, duly mourned and buried under our apple tree, and Tuck,
gray and crotchety, limps if he moves too fast. Carol lives in Cincinnati in a
happy home of her own, and I carry roses to the cemetery on the hill.
What a wonderful gift is memory. My days are rich with remembrances
of the good life Bob and I had. How glad I am that we shared, not only a home,
but also a love for God and His Church so that though now I am lonely, yet

Secretary of Health, Ed-
ucation, and Welfare, Elliot
L. Richardson, recently ann-
ounred that the premium for
the supplementary medical
insurance part of Medicare
will be $6.20 a month begin-
ning next July 1, a $. 50 per
month increase over the
current level.
The supplementary medi-
cal insurance program com-
plements the basic hospital
insurance part of Medicare
by helping to pay physicians’
bills and a wide variety of
other medical expenses in
and out of the hospital.
The costs are shared by the
participants and the Feder-
al Government.
About 22.5 million per-
sons will be enrolled in the
program in the coming fis-
cal year, including 1.7
million disabled persons
under age 65 who are new-
ly covered by recent leg-
islation.
In addition, Medicare pro-
tection is extended to people
who need certain treatment
for chronic kidney disease.
This protection if for workers
insured under social security,
for their wives or husbands
and children, as well as for
people eligible for social
security benefits.
The Medicare law requires
an annual review of the cost
of the supplementary med-
ical insurance program and
that the Secretary set a pre-
mium rate at a point esti-
mated to be sufficient, to-
gether with the Federal con-
tribution, to cover all ex end-
ditures that will be incurred
durring the following premium
period.
Most of the anticipated in-
crease in the cost of the pro-
gram is attributable to contin-
ued increase in the use of phys-
icians’ services, the trend to-
ward more expensive services,
■and an increase in the cost
antf use of hospital outpatient
servicies.
The new premium rate also
takes account of legislative
changes in the Medicare pro-
gram enacted in 1972. These
include a change from $50 to
$60 in the annual deductible
and beginning July 1, 1973,
coverage of certain chriropr-
actors’ services, speech path-
ologists services, and the elim-
ination of the home health
agency co-payment.
Under a new provision of
law there will be no further
increase in the supplementary
medical insurance premium.
Secretary Richardson noted,
until July 1, 1975 at the ear-
list, unless the Congress en-
acts another general social
security benefit increase dur-
ing 1973.

Texas will produce almost orie-third of the total
cotton grown in the nation during 1972. The Texas Crop
and Livestock Reporting Service notes that upland cotton
production in the state during 1972 is now estimated at
4.050.000 bales. Nationwide, the total for 1972 is now
estimated at 13,4^2,500 bales.
For Texas, production in 1972 is almost double that
of 1971, Yield per acre for 1972 is set at 377 pounds per
acre compared with 263 pounds in 1971. Harvested acres
ate expected to total 5,150,000 compared with 4,700,000
acres in 1971.
The southern High Plains--crop reporting district
1;S--is expected to produce 1,700,000 hales for 1972, or
almost 400,000 more bales than the previous season. The
B lack lands- district four-is in second place with an
expected production of 475,000 hales compared with
356.000 hales the previous season.
Weather of recent days and weeks has delayed harvest
on the High Plains. But even so, more than 80 per cent of
the crop has been gathered compared to only about
two-thirds completion a year ago.
Production of American-Pima cotton in Texas is
expected to reach 31,000 bales compared with 35,300 bales
in 1971. Yield is expected to average 431 pounds of lint per
acre compared with 478 pounds in 1971 Harvest of the
crop is virtually complete.
FULL effects of the worst snow' storm in Texas in 100
years which occurred recently are still not known regarding
agriculture. But losses will be heavy. The out crop, which
had been showing some improvement, suffered from the ice
and snow. Citrus harvest has been hampered by the cold
wather. Rainy weather halted harvest of cabbage and
carrots.
In the coastal bend, spinach harvest is at hand.
Vegetable growers in Central Texas are preparing land and
applying fertilizer when field conditions permit.
Wheat seeding for the state is complete, and wheat
grazing has been restricted due to wet fields. Soybean, grain
sorghum, and pecan harvesting are all virtually completed.
The cold, wet weather has been hard on livestock
throughout the state. Supplemental protein feeding and
haying is widespread over the state.
MILK production in Texas during December was four
per cent below a year earlier, hut still two per cent above
the previous month's production.
Milk production per cow kept for milk averaged 730
pounds per cow during December, which is 30 pounds
below a year earlier but 15 pounds above the previous
month. Nationwide, milk production during December was
virtually unchanged from a year ago. Milk cows on farms
during December totaled 12,127,000, a one per cent
decline from a year earlier.

Va lley have been announced. Cotton planting can begin as

Duval, Jim Hogg, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Nueces,
