“While we saw prices
climb slightly for cotton,
potatoes, hay and fresh
fruit,” Agriculture
Commissioner Reagan V.
Brown commented, “overall
both crop and livestock
prices were down one per
cent since mid-July.”
Brown added that prices
paid by farmers for
commodities, services,
interest, taxes and wages
decreased one-half of one per
cent since that time, mainly
due to lower feed prices.
However, these costs remain
nine points above the
August, 1976 level.
“While the figures do not
paint a bright picture for the
farmer, the sad thing is that
consumers aren’t benefiting
from the low prices either,”
Brown said. “As well as
declining farm prices, the
increasing spread between
farm and retail prices is
another factor behind the
recent farm protests.”
The figures show that
grain prices continued to
slide in August, Brown said.
Milo showed a 27-cent per
hundredweight (cwt.)
decrease, while wheat prices
dropped an average of 17
cents per bushel. Corn prices
were down from $2.03 per
bushel to $1.74. All showed
substantial decreases from
the same period last year.
As well as a penny a
pound increase in upland
cotton, the index brought
good news to hay producers.
Prices on all baled hay
climbed $1.50 per ton to
$48.50.
Preliminary reports
showed peanuts bringing 22
cents per pound.
Very slight price increases
were recorded for sheep,
lambs, calves and milk
products.

Wood and his group are
a prime example of both the
quality of scientific training
available in Texas and the
quality of research being
done here that is able to
attract well-trained scien-
tists from other states.

Inspeciton Stickes Have New Look
Lone Star drama
ends successfully
The sphinx moth has com-
pound eyes, with each eye
composed of hundreds of
seeing units.
A U STIN--Almost
everyone has seen those
round, green inspection
stickers attached by the
Texas Department of
Agriculture to supermarket
scales and gasoline pumps
throughout the state. But
soon, Agriculture
Commissioner Reagan V.
Brown reports, they will be
sporting a new, brighter
look.
In an effort to make the
decals more visible to both
c onsumer and T D A
inspectors, the new ones will
be red, white and blue
instead of the traditional
colors, he said. In addition,
they will be square-shaped
with round corners.
“Although the colors of
the stickers are changing,”
said Brown, “the purpose -
consumer protection —
remains the same.
“If a scale or gas pump
has a sticker attached, it
means the device was
accurate to within strict state
tolerances when it was
checked on the date
indicated,” stated Brown.
The TDA’s Weights and
Measures Section, which
inspects all Texas
commercial measuring
devices annually, invites
consumers who question a
particular device to call
(512) 475-6577. All calls are
followed up by a
re-inspection of the
instrument in question, at no
charge to consumer or
merchant.
GALVESTON — “The
Lone Star” cast played the
final show of its first sea-
son to an audience of more
than a thousand people
September 4 in the Mary
Moody Northen amphithea-
tre in Galveston Island
State Park.
Roughly 30 thousand peo-
ple have attended the drama
since it premiered June 30,
and judging from enthusi-
astic standing ovations, over
100 curtain calls and a
bombardment of autograph
requests, it was well re-
ceived.
Houses of two and three
hundred people witnessed
the spread of Texas free-
dom fever and the founding
of the Republic the first
week of the season. But the
crowds doubled and attend-
ance figures increased week-
ly to establish an average
week night audience of 500
and weekend audience of
900.
Despite hurricane warn-
ings and threats of rising
water, attendance figures
of the show’s last four
days surpassed the previous
weekly increases. Hurricane
Anita prompted cancellation
of one show, the only per-
formance missed the entire
season.
“The Lone Star” attracted
visitors from 40 different
states as well as from Hol-
land, Finland, Canada and
West Germany.
Of the 120 members of
“The Lone Star” company,
12 are from Galveston, 12
from the Texas City, Clear
Lake area, 14 from Houston
and 5 from Dallas and Fort
Worth. Seventeen journeyed
to Galveston from New
York.
Backstage, the traditional
good luck wish “break a
leg” was taboo for this par-
ticular cast. Actor Richard
Boone started off the sea-
son’s mishaps when he
broke his ankle on the way
to the preview performance.
Since then cast members
have suffered such injuries
as a cracked rib, broken
wrist, fractured ankle and
sprained back.
As if runaway horses and
windblown scenery weren’t
enough problems for the
cast to deal with, many per-
formers attempted to inter-
rupt on-stage composure by
playing tricks on one an-
other.
Sam Houston shook many
a toothpaste-filled hand and
Santa Anna squelched cries
of surprise as he opened
his Mexican proclamation to
find the Texan Declaration
of Independence in its place
instead.
Texas City resident Bill
Ferguson was the most
faithful viewer recorded by
the company as he attended
18 performances. Mrs. Nor-
then, benefactor of the
show and namesake for the
amphitheatre, attended nine
full performances and a
good portion of another.
“The Lone Star” plans to
open its second season in
mid-April. Auditions will be
held in Galveston, Houston
and Dallas in February.
