Editor’s Noir: This to the
third and final article that ex-
amines the role of Basic Skill
Testing in the Hereford

tide presented the Hereford
TABS scores from 1980 to 1981
and hints on how to interpret
education classes. These
socioeconomic factors do
have a significant effect on
our students' performance
Regarding question 4.
Many of our students that
have mastered the basic
skills do go «n to outstanding
academic achievements

basis for the region's
economy
According to officials with
the Lubbock Chamber of
Commerce, the 25-county
South Plains region normally
produces 3 million bales of
cotton annually. In I960, this
cotton sold for approximately
75 cents per pound and
brought the producer about
$375 per bale In 1981.
farmers received only about
35 cents per pound for the
same cotton. This 40 cents per
pound reduction represents
about $600 million of gross

Farming is a big industry in Deaf Smith County, as
everyone knows, and the low farm prices of this past year
can be compared to losing a factory that employed 1,000 per-
sons. says a local American Ag oficial.
Key Crawford of Hereford has prepared comparisons on
the county farm income from four basic crops the past two
years. Deaf Smith’s income was $7 million less in 1981 than
the total in 1980
Crawford took the average price for wheat. com. milo and
cotton and used the 1980 production figures Wheat was $3 88
and $3 65 a bushel; com $3 50: and $2 94; milo $5.39 and $4.70,
and cotton was 75 cents a pound, down to 35 cents in 1981
He adds that the normal turnover of a dollar is usually four
or five times, but figuring it at a minimum of three times, the
indirect loss to the community would have been more than
$21 million.
Crawford contends that parity prices to farmers would be
similar to opening a new factory in Hereford that employed
more than 6,000 workers'
An area newspaper points to figures that reflect a glaring
disparity in farm income. In 1950, farmers got 40 percent of
the money spent for food: in 1978. the figure was 27.5 percent
The price of food has increased, but the hikes have ap-
parentiy been taken off-farm labor, packaging, transporta-
tion and marketing. Because of these off-farm costs, it is
beocming difficult to affect the costs at the farm level.
If fanners donat d the wheat required to make a loaf of
bread that sells for 90 cents, it would drop the price of that
loaf in only 6 cents.

found "striking evidence"
linking the Shroud of Turin to

is a hoax and a disservice to
both science and religious
faith.
An .mage on the shroud,
kept for centuries by the
Roman Catholic Church in
Turin, Italy, is believed to
show a crucified man, which
some believe to be Christ

the Roman governor who
Christians believe condemn-
ed Christ
A study conducted in 1978
by 40 scientists with
specialties in various fields
concluded there was no way
to determine if the shroud
was the burial cloth of Jesus
But the researchers using
various tests, concluded that
the shroud was not a forgery,
nor the work human con-
