Bept. Report
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. W '«•*>—
Texas' extended fall and winter
drought has been broken, the Unit-
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture reported today.
In a yreekly crop and weather
Bulletin, the USDA announced that
"with few exceptions, practically
all areas of the state received iren-
••rous supplies of moisture during
the past two weeks, effectively
breaking the long and extended
fall and winter drought.
The moisture situation, the US-
DA said, is now "uniformly more
encouraging than at any lime since
late May of 1947."
Additional rains were still need-
ed in sotne extreme southern coun-
ties. However, except in these
ar«as. surface soils were in "ex-
cellent condition."
Not all the news was good. Tht
USDA reported at the same time
that chilling wind, sleet, snow and
I cold rain held plant gp>w th to a
standstill and caused "heavy shrin
kage of livestock in northern and
northwestern counties."
However, freeze damage t"
small grain* and losses of live-
stock have been negligible, the de-
partment said.
Except in Southern counties
where harvesting of winter vege-
tables and citrus fruits was mnk-
inir fair progress, field activities
. re at a standstill.

"O. W. Jones, another colored
man. was elected county attorney
in Oraham county in 189*! and a-
gain in IS98," Sayers said. "S. E.
Cary, also colored, was elected Lo-
gan county prosecutor about 1914.
"That makes at least four of us
wly> were ahead of Langster in
j Michigan."

Gov. Val Peterson said he would
use the Air Force aid chiefly to j
alleviate human suffering. He has j
accused the Air Force of "grand-
standing" and contended that the
flights were wastefully ineffective, i
Peterson has appealed to Federal '

The Air Force promised to main-
tain the haylift flights a< long as
necessary. Most ranch' rs thought
the "bridge of planes" over the
snow must be kept in operation at
least 14 days.
More help from thi federal gov- j
ernment was on the way, however.
The Senate interior committee
unanimously approved an emerg-
