Sam Attebury of Attebury Ele-
vators in Amarillo reported to
GSPA, who named Mm to a
U.S. Feed Grains Council
assignment to India , to study
grain sorghum distribution and
handling. Attebury pointed out
that 1,750,000 tana or about $70
million worth at grain sorghum
had either been shipped or com-
mitted to India this year md that
the need for it as food cer-
tainly would continue for some
time, but that it appeared that
it would take strong administra-
tive liaison and promotional ef-
forts on the part of GSPA to
keep sorghum moving at this
level to India in the future.
Ken Kendrick, fan mediate
past Executive Vice President
at the National Association at
Wheatgrowers in Washington,
D.C., pointed out that inasmuch
as currant farm legislation con-
tinues to allow the substitution
between, wheat and toed grains
that this makes the problems
and opportwities at grain sor-
thleksned areas to causs a dock

Maddox cautions that tot
freeze-branding is still m ex-
perimental procedure, ao no re-
commendations for Its wide-
spread use have been made. Al-
so, ths techniipw is so new It
isn’t even mentioned In ths
branding laws. Branding offi-
cials are studying ths techni-
que to possibly include it In
the law books.
It’s Important that mimala*

Moisture is needed all through
the Rolling Plains (Vernon) for
cotton, corn, sorghum, ranges
and stock water. Older cotton
is squaring and sorghum is
heading.
Seven of the 22 counties in
the North Central Texas dis-
trict are short on moisture.
Corn Is at the roasting ear
stage and sorghum is heading
and both need rain.
Good rains toll in the west-
ern part of for West Texas but

Prefinished
Wall Panels
Save Time
■ If you like to do home Im-
provement Jobs, but hate the
extensive “finishing" involved
in some projects, take advan-
tage of new building materials
that require little or no fin-
ishing.
Prefinished paneling, for
example, can eliminate several
steps and many hours of work
in remodeling a basement, at-
tic or room. Sanding, filling,
staining and varnishing a 4-
by-8-foot wall panel is quite
a Job In Itself, but when the
Job has to be repeated all
around the room, it can be-
come a major project.
Even if you prefer to do the
finish work yourself, your
choice of materials can reduce
the amount of work involved.
Unfinished h&rdbo&rd pan-
els, for Instance, require no
sanding before stein, paint,
varnish or shellac Is applied.
Hard board panels are also
available factory-finished In
a wide variety of finishes and
textures, together with mold-
ings. nails and putty to match.
