More local use of locally produced
feed crops is an obvious answer to
the West Texas farmer's problems,
Dean A. H. Leidigh of Texas Teen
division of agriculture believes.
Explaining the effect of tracto
farming and mechanization of agri-
culture on farmers in this territory,
lie explained that a tractor Used 1000
to 1500 gallons of fuel annually,
which must be purchased.
"This represents a direct expendi
ture of money by farmers for fuel,
he*, said. "The numbers of tractors is
increasing. At thistime the number oi
work stock in the state of Texas is
decreasing rapidly, having dropped
fipin 2,200,000 in 1920 to an esti-
mated 1,458,000 in 1938, or a de-
crease of 846,000 animals, some of
which required a cash outlay of feed."
Since a large part of this cash out
lay for livestock feed represents
money paid the West Texas farmers
for feed, he continued, it is easy to
see that West Texas farmers hav
not only ceased to provide themselves
with a market for feed, but have ad-
ded the expense of buying a tractor
and fuel. Thus they have to face a
loss of income and a new cause for
expense in the interest of labor sav-
ing equipment,
"How many acres may be involved
in this double loss of use for feed
crops is uncertain," he stated. "How
many more acres are involved in tht\
necessity of marketing crops for cash
in order to buy tractor fuel is also
uncertain. The only conclusion pos-
sible would seem to be that tractor
farming has brought us to a place
where the grain crops and the cast
money crops Of this region require
greater economic specialization."
To meet changing agricultura'
conditions in West Texas, he advo-
cates more feed crops more livestock
more livestock feeding and dairying
and more specialization.
