random sample of some 24,000
Texas farmers will receive a
crop acreage questionnaire from
Charles E. Caudill, Agricultural
Statistician in charge of the
Texas Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service, Austin, Tex-
as.
This information will be the
basis for determining the
planted acreage for the state of
Texas and for each county.
Texas covers such a wide area
that state totals alone do not
provide adequate information
on Texas’ most basic industry —
agriculture. The Texas Legisla-
ture has provided a program of
estimates for each county. This
is a cooperative effort of
USDA’s Statistical Reporting

complete and return them by

confidential and are used only
for state and county totals.
The Throckmorton Tribune, Thursday,
Thief In Night
to be shown
at Olney May 5
The public is cordially invited
to a special presentation of “A
Thief In The Night,” a new
70-minute color film about Bible
prophecy that will begin at 7:30
p.m. on Monday, May 5, in the
High School Auditorium at
Olney, Texas.
“A Thief In The Night” is a
mighty motion picture that
shows what can happen when
Jesus Christ returns. This
exciting story centers around
Patty, an average girl caught up
in living for the present, with
little concern about the future.
What h appends when this
thinking finally catches up with
her provides an action packed,
unforgettable drama.
Filmed on location in Iowa,
this picture portrays with devas-
tating reality the Biblical pre-
diction, ‘‘There will be no place
to hide.” One does not merely
view this film, he experiences it.
