The outstanding content of this 21 volume library is expected to be the standard
encyclopedia of Zoology of the 70’s and beyond.
It is truly a comprehensive guide to the animal kingdom. A fascinating
treasure of knowledge involving over 3,000 entries documented by more than
200 authors. Here is the latest, most reliable information on all,animals, birds,
fish, reptiles and insects of the world, dramatized and highlighted with
thousands of colorful illustrations, maps, drawings and diagrams. Substantial
treatment is given to interesting subjects such as animal behavior, ecology,
anatomy, physiology, reproduction and zoo-geography including a number of
biographies of some of the more important zoologists. Most remarkable, the
subject matter is presented in a direct and uncomplicated manner to appeal to
children and adults of all ages. Without question, it is a most valuable reference
library for students. Even the specialist may profitably turn to it for reading
outside his field of study. Add this encyclopedia to your home library—you and
your children will never regret it. *

with him in charge.
“When we first came here there was no Methodist Church so we met with
the Baptists in what is now a beauty parlor. When floods came here we’d make
red cross bandages at the school and hand them out to flood sufferers from the
lowlands along with staple foods.
“We had several study clubs here. I belonged to the original Study Club
here in the 1920’s and 30’s. We’d meet in the homes of members.
“The Valley Federation of Clubs was very active then, as now...different
towns were host to it and our Study Club joined along with others.
“Our house used to be on the edge of town...Mercedes has sure changed.”

season. Grades 21
through 61 (the white grades)
accounted for 86 percent this
year compared to 46 percent in
1973. Grades 32 through 52
(the light spotted grades) were
assigned to 14 percent this
season. This compares to 40
percent in 1973.
Staple lengths did not fare
as well this season. Staples 34
and longer accounted for 81
percent in 1974 compared to 85
percent in 1973.
Comparison of the desirable
3.5 to 4.9 micronaire range
shows less of the total crop fell
into this range this year than
last year. The 1974 percentage
is 55 percent while the 1973
percentage was 80 percent.
About 65 percent of the
1974 crop was sold on
pre-season contracts compared
to 95 percent in 1973.
Uncontracted cotton sold this
year between 42.00 and 56.50
cents per pound. Cotton under
contract ranged from 60.00 to
75.00 cents. Prices paid for
uncontracted lots of cotton in
the Harlingen market this week
ranged from 42.60 to 48.00
cents per pound. In the 3.5 to
4.9 mike range, average prices
for grade 31, staple 34 were
48.15. Grade 41, staple 34
average price was 47.65 cents
per pound.
