^flfl^^ VC^herever you live in Texas, the oil industry
is your neighbor. For the Texas oil industry is the bread-and-butter, the
opportunity, the daily work of some 190,000 Texas men and women.
The girl who sits next to you in the bus; the hearty-looking man
who waves as you pass on the highway; the family behind you at
the PTA: in Texas, they all could be, some certainly are oil workers.
Bookkeepers, stenographers, executives, drillers, roughnecks, stillmen,
geologists, salesmen, pipe liners, petroleum engineers—the oil industry
supplies the livelihood of all, and many more.
Neighbors of yours these people are, folks who pay taxes like
yours, spend their money in the stores you patronize, drive the same
kind of automobile, send their children to the same schools.
. . . . The oil industry is more than a balance sheet, a set
of statistics, an investment in derricks and pipe-stills. In Texas,
it’s the family next door.

As 1 understand it, the Depart
on cotton
with the
usual, takin a beatin. throughout the South, how many ;
cotton pickers will be available, I
how much each acre ought to pro-
duce on every single farm in the
South, and the rest ought to come
out easy.
State Highway Department an-
nounces that a new brige over
Cypress’creek on U. S. 271, be-
tween Mt. Pleasant and Pittsburg
will be constructed this year. The
bridge and its approaches will be
14 miles in length and will cost
about $426,000.
Present bridge across the creek
is a wooden affair and will be
used for a detour while the new
bridge is being built.
U. S. Highway 271 is being used
more extensively with the addi-
tion of new bridges. New bridges
over the slough and Sulphur be-
tween Johntown and Talco were
built during the past year. A new
one over a small creek between
Jchntown and Bogata is also bad-
ly needed.

1 ment guessed wrong
production last year,
farmer, as i
The Department started out in
August estimatin a crop of 17 mil-
lion bales, then raised it to 18
million in September. In Sep-
. tember of course a lot of farmers
' are sellin cotton, and this fore-
[ cast of a big crop caused prices
| to drop. As a matter of fact, they
dropped from 40 cents to 34 cents,
then in December, after a big por-
tion of the cotton, except that in
far West Texas, was sold, the es-
timate dropped back to 15 mil-
lion. and as you know the price
of cotton then went up to 43 cents
or more.
This played havoc with a lot
of farmers, as it ain’t no easy
thing to sell your cotton for 34
cents a pound and a month or two
later see somebody else who nev-
er touched a cultivator in his life I
sell it for 43 cents, a gain of near-

some advice on how to make the
government crop estimate more
acurate, and since I don’t have
anything else to do this mormn
I will be glad to oblige.
It's easy to make the crop esti-
mate come out correct. All you
have to do is first find out what
the weather is gonna do, how
much it’s gonna rain and when,
don't need no rains at pickin time,
how much hail we gonna have,
what the insects are gonna do,
which wa/ the wind is gonna |
blow your poison, and then get |
an accurate estimate of how hard
farmers are gonna work, how |
many tractors are gonna break
down in the plantin season, in the
cultivatin season, etc., now many
flat tires there’ll be on tractors
[Cl
y.’.WT
fai’mers suffered last year be-
cause the estimate was too high
and prices consequently fell off
unnecessarily, is to under-e ti
mate .t this year, so we can rc- >
coup our losses. This might re- |
quire a law requirin the stock I
market to react correctly, but
I’m in favor of that too.
Yours faithfully, A. A.
