Poultry Industry in
Texas Provides a
Multimillion Income
COLLEGE STATION, AUG. 27
—Recently released figures re-
veal the economic knportanct of
the poultry industry to Texas.
According to John G. McHaney,
assistant economist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service, it
takes a lot of eggs to satisfy
Texans’ appetite for “hen fruit.’’
In fact, he adds, the supply from
Texas sources lacks almost three
dozen eggs per capita of meeting
the demand.
In 1951, 2,291,000,000 eggs were
produced in Texas. The per capi-
ta consumption was 397 eggs.

represented 61.2 per cent of the
total gross poultry income fbr
the state; broilers 27.3 per cent
and turkeys 11.5 per cent.
It adds up, says McHaney, to
a whopping total of $157,338,000.
A sizable figure for even the
state of Texas.

Therefore, says McHaney, 259,-
000,000 eggs had to come from
other states to make up the dif-
ference. The existing favorable
egg-feed price ration, the rapidly
increasing population within the
state and generally favorable ec-
onomic conditions over the coun-
try as a whole, leads McHaney
to believe that egg producers in
the state would be justified in
further increasing the size of
their laying flocks.
Final figures for 1952, he says,' - , .
gross sales of $18,124,000. Final
show that 21,474,000 hens were figures for 1951 show that eggs
on the farms of the state. Fig-
ures released on July 1 indicate
some reduction in this number
while the hen numbers for the
nation remained about the same
as for a year ago. Gross sales in
Texas from eggs in 1951, he says,
amounted to $96,871,000.
The Texas broiler industry has
grown by leaps and bounds dur-
ing the past few years and in
1951 grossed $42,343,000 for the
state’s producers.
Turkey producers in 1951 had

HOW TO FIX A Tl
V
I
Mirs. Buchan and Lillie are en-
joying a new TV set.
| NEW YORK — A “pre fix” on.
traffic tickets operated in many
states by troopers and local polici -(
men is the latest racket exposed iiu
the September issue of Cars, nit-f
tional automotive magazine now on,
the newsstands.
In cities where officials havri
tightened up their traffic violat >ni
fee collections through instatin: nt)
of efficient record-keeping syste;.;
Cars magazine reports the appear-
ance of “courtesy clubs” operated
by the patrolmen to help violators
circumvent the law and at the-
same time earn the cops money..
Club members are given business.)
cards which traffic patrolmen rec-
ognize and collect from the violat-’
ors. Later the harried businessmen),
are visited at their offices ar.d<,
homes by “friends” of the cops r
who collect payment for the cour- ‘
tesv, pleading saving of time, labor i
ana avoidance of license endorse- •’
ment.
Cars magazine editor Arthur1
Unger reports that citie.-, which,
have brought ticket-fixing to u
halt have slashed accident rates >
and increased local revenue*. After
ticket-fixing was halted in Syra
cuse, N.Y. accidents dropped neai;
40 per cent in six months. In Ls
sing, Michigan, traffic aecider. ••
took a heavier toll of lives and
property damage than all crin:e<
and fire losses in a seven yeetr
period. Then Lansing became anti'- '
fix consoious and recently received I
the National Safety Council award I
for being the “safest traffic city uh I
Arrterica.” In another Mid-western
city, when traffic tickets, were-being-
fixed the annual income of the
traffic court was about $50,000.
After most of the fixing was abol-
ished that yearly income was in-
creased to $500,000! The magazine
lists five fundamental points which
must be gained, to wipe out ticket-
fixings.
