Texas’ annual output of 56,000,-
OOOpounds of farm butter is 11 per
cent of the nation’s total and gives
the state first rank in production .
“The tragedy is that two-thirds of
this butter is of poor quality and
serves to curb the consumption of
the product on the farm and at the
market,’ W.V.Maddox, dairy manu-
facturing specialist of the Texas A.
and M. Colie Extension Service, has
commented. “Yet good sweet cream
butter ran be produced on Texas
farms it" milk and cream are handled
correctly.”
Correct handling begins with the
production of milk, which should be
clean and free from abjectionable
flavors, he says. Clean, sterilized
utensiles are essential.
Cream, whether mechanically sep-
arated or hand skimmed, must be
cooled immediately after separation
and held at 50 degrees until churming
time. Freshly separated cream must
be cooled before adding to cold
cream.
Maddox recommends that the dif-
ferent lots of cream be mixed from
two to four hours before churning so
that the temperature and ripening
will be uniform. Use of a themo-
meter will help insure butter after
30 to 40 minutes of churning, and
firm-not hard butter granules. The
best temperature is between 50 and
60 degrees in summer and 55 to 03
degrees in winter, and the churning
should be stopped when the granules
are the size of grains of wheat.
The granular butter should he
washed twice with water of about the
same temperature as the buttermilk.
The buttermilk, which produces oft’-
flavros very rapidly, can be washed
out, but not worked out. An ounce
of butter salt is added for each pound
of butter, and if it is dampened, it
will be more evenly distributed.
TICK ERADICATION REPORT
There was employed in Jim Hogg
County for the month of April, one
county man who spent his entire time
in an effort to eradicate fever ticx
infestation.
73 herds, and a total of 14,543
cattle were inspected or dipped. Of
the number inspected and dipped, no
cattle were found to be infested
There were no tick quarantine vio-
lations.
The Livestock Sanitary Commission
of Texas will continue the work in
Jim Hogg County until it has been
cleaned of all fever tick infestation.
The above work was conducted under
the supervision of D. C. Hunter,
County Supervisor of Tick Eradica-
tion work, Hebbronville, Texas.
Washington.
The Raymnndvillc camp will cost
approximately $250,000 and accomo-
date 343 families. There will be 50
three room cottages, 240 one-room
metal shelter units, and 44 platforms
upon which migrants may erect tents.
Sanitary facilities, pure water, and
educational facilities will he provided
“These camps are an experimental
remedy for a condition brought about
by displacement of many thousands
of farm tenants who were once com-
paratively secure upon the land,” Mr.
Evans said. “The fundamental reme-
dy, of course, is to help these farmers
retain their place upon the land in
their home communities. But we
have approximately 125,000 migra-
tory laborers in Texas who have no
home other than the ramshackle
automobile in which they drift from
one end of the state to the other as
work becomes available.”
“The condition under which these
laborers are living constitutes a men-
ace not only to the communities in
which they are temporarily located,”
he stated, "but also to the entire
state.” He stated that although the
migrant labor situation in California
had attracted nation-wide attention,
in the two Texas counties of Hidalgo
and Nueces alone placements of these
people last year equaled more than
one-fourth of the total laborers living
in California.
Other migratory camps will be
located at Weslaco, Robstown, and

This is the second time a district
governor has come from the Laredo
Rotary Club. Robert Lee Bobbitt was
chosen in 1929 but served only a
short time as he was named attorney
general ami resigned the office.
1940 Fat Stock Show
Shortly after the reelection of J.
W. Sartwelle as presdent of the Hous
ton Fat Stock Show and Livestock
Exposition, the officers and directors
launched plans for the 1940 show,
which will be held from March 23
through March 31.
President Sartwelle advised Texas
cattlemen to begin preparing their
prospective entries.
He also said that considerably more
space would be needed for next
year's exposition. The 1939 show
overflowed Houston’s huge coliseum
anil annex, making it necessary to
close several streets in order to gain
additional space.
Elected as vicepresidents were
Henry W. Dew, J. Howard West,
Russell W. Nix, G. L Childress and
Julian A. Weslow.

your home during inclement weather, nor whin
you are indisposed. The telephone connects you
with the world; when ever you desire to use it a*
such. Shop more by phone; it is opportune ami
satisfying.
Motors Progress
The first four months of 1939 have
been prosperous ones for the motor
vehicle dealers. The University of
Texas Bureau of Business Research
announced today. Passenger oar
sales gained 27.4 per cent over th-*
corresponding four months last year,
and commercial cars gained 17.5 per
cent.
Registrations in fifteen representa-
tive Texas counties reported to the
Bureau that during April, however,
passenger cars dropped 31.4 per cent
and commercial cars 26.6 per cent
from March. Substantial gains, of
30.1 per cent and 11.9 per cent,
respectively, were recorded, however,
in comparison with April of last year.
