Three Chickens
In Every Pot
We are what we eat and
what we eat may be as much
the product of the test tube
as the field and farm.
Take the chicken!
Back in 1930, the typical
chicken was a tough, over-
aged bird. She didn't go
to the pot until she stopped
laying eggs. People ate an
average of only 16 pounds
of chicken apiece per year
then.
Over the next 50 years,
scientists bred a new kind
of bird specifically for the
dinner table—plump and
tender. Agronomists devel-
oped higher yielding hybrid
corn, resulting in a more
plentiful supply of feed for

poultry flocks. Nutrition-
ists plotted perfectly balanc-
ed feeds complete with es-
sential vitamins.
By 1980, scientists and
good farm management
had made it possible for
one farmer to produce as
many as 250,000 broilers
a year. What's more the
modem poultry producer
can raise this tenderer bird
to eating size in six to sev-
en weeks compared with
the three to four months
it took 50 years ago.
The repercussions of the
scientists' handiwork have
been even greater on the
farm than on the dinner
table. Though we are eat-
ing four times as much
chicken as our grandparents
were, farmers are actually
producing ten times as
much chicken. Most of
the increase feeds the 100
million more Americans
who make up the population
today, and the xest—800
million pounds per year—
is exported.

One thing we've probably all learned
is to have an appreciation of things
that have worth and to know their
value. How would you rate yourself on knowing
the value of the electricity you use? Take this
simple exercise.

Knowing what electricity is worth is worth knowing.
Just look around.

Texas Farms Increasing
While the total number
of farms in the United
States continues to decline,
Texas is bucking the trend.
While more farms in West
Texas are consolidating to
form bigger, more profit-
able units, farms in east-
ern areas are being sub-
divided into smaller units
to be used as weekend re-
treats by folks who have to
live and work in the city
during the week. Texas
boasted 194, 253 farms in
1978 compared to 174,000
in 1974,
The U. S. Census Bureau
defines a farm as "any
place from which $1, 000
or more worth of agricult-
ural products were sold or
normally would have been
sold in the previous year. "
However, a relatively small
portion of the total number
of farms produce the lion's
share of agricultural pro-
ducts, notes an economist
with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service. In Tex-
as 2. 8 percent of the farms
produce 60 percent of the
value of farm cash receipts.
