agriculture and its role in the
total economy of Texas and
the nation should be
recognized during Farm-
City Week Nov. 17-23, con-
tends Dr. Carl Anderson,
marketing economist with
the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
Farm-City Week, spon-
sored annually by the
National Farm-City Council,
Inc. and Kiwanis In-
ternational, is designed to
promote better un-
derstanding between farm
and city residents.
"Americans should be
thankful for a strong and
efficient agricultural in-
dustry, one in which output
per manhour of farm work
has increased 30 percent
from 1970 to 1976. At the
same time output per
manhour for non-farm
business rose about 10
percent. Along with the
increased output, crop and
livestock production rose 16
percent during those six
years," points out Anderson.
Our nation's farmers
account for only 3.6 percent
of the total population-a far
cry from the Soviet Union,
for example, where one-
third of the people are
engaged in farming," notes
the economist. "With most
Americans freed from
producing food, they can
devote their efforts to
producing goods and
providing services that
enhance the overall stan-
dard of living."
Americans reap the
benefits of our efficient
agricultural industry as they
typically spend only about 17
percent of their disposable
incomes for food. This
reflects a decrease of 15
percent in 15 years.

Rattlers Face District
Leaders Friday
Guided tours of Texas A&I
University Citrus Center's
research facilities and or-
chards will be offered again
this year. Tours will be held
on Thursday mornings
beginning at 10:30 a.m.
The season's opener is
scheduled for November 16,
1978. Reservations should be
made in advance for indiv-
iduals or groups by calling
968-2132 between 8 a.m. and
5 p.m., Monday through
Friday.
Tours start with a
narrated slide show which
gives a brief history of the
Center and an overview of
the Texas citrus industry. A
question and answer session
follows. Then, there is a
pleasant stroll around the
headquarters and some of
the research orchards ac-
companied by a staff
member. Ample time for
questions, observations and
discussion is provided.
In case of inclement
weather, the tour group will
be rescheduled or an ad-
ditional indoor presentation
made. Texas A&I Citrus
Center is located between
Weslaco and Mercedes on
FM 1015, just north of Ex-
pressway 83.

Donna turf!
The Rio Grande City
Rattlers travel to Donna to
face the District 16-3A
leaders.
The Donna Redskins
claimed the District 16-3A
football championship last
Friday Nov. 10, by defeating
Edcouch-Elsa, 21-8. The
Rattlers had an open date
that Friday.
The previous Friday, Nov.
3, the Edcouch-Elsa
Yellowjackets thwarted all
Rattler attempts l.o score,
while they themselves came
out on top with a 22-0 score.
The results of that game
evened the Yellowjackets
conference mark at 3-3 while
the Rattlers' mark dropped
to 3-3-1 for the year in
District play.
This is Donna's first
outright district champ-
ionship since 1974 when the
Keith Frase-led Redskins
claimed the title. The
Redskins will probably face
state-ranked Gregory-
Portland, the current leader
in the District 15-3A race in
bi-district.

Teens Tangle
With Pregnancy
Trauma
The statistics tell a sad
story about sex and Texas
teenagers. About a third of
teenage girls and more than
half of teenage boys are
sexually active. More than
half of both sexually active
groups do not use amy type of
birth control. With odds like
that, it is easy to see why one
of every nine teenage girls
becomes pregnant, mostly
unintentionally, and
teenagers have 35 percent of
the abortions in Texas.
If she does have the baby,
both mother and child have
greater chances of illness or
death than other groups.
Deborah McFarlane, an
assistant professor at The
University of Texas Health
Science Center in Dallas,
completes the grim picture
by adding that teenage
mothers also have high rates
of suicide, divorce and
dropping ojt of school.
Writing in the November
issue of Texas Medicine, the
Texas Medical Association's
monthly journal, McFarlane
says more education about
birth control methods and
increased availability of
family planning services
would help remedy the
teenage pregnancy problem.
She says open family
communication, private
physicians and family
planning clinics should be
major sources of help for
teenagers.
About 68,000 Texas women
under age 20 received
contraceptive services from
family planning c linics in
1976 and about 63,000 were
assisted by private doctors
in 1977. But an estimated
145,000 sexually active
teenage women had no
counseling at all in 1977.
These figures show that
physicians and clinics are
doing a lot but financial
problems and lack of public
knowledge slow progress.
Education for males and
females about bodily
processes, contraception
and risks of pregnancy needs
to increase and begin at
earlier ages since the age of
first intercourse is
decreasing. McFarlane says
one study shows about half of
sexually experienced high
school boys had intercourse
before age 13.
Financial problems are
trickier to solve because of
governmental restrictions
on funds to pay for services
and the inability of many
teens to pay full clinic fees.
One of McFarlane's
suggestions is for clinics to
adjust fees for teenage
users.
She says increased efforts
to improve education and
services are important from
a financial as well as a
health viewpoint. For in-
stance, the annual cost for
one fully subsidized family
planning client is $70 but the
Texas Department of
Human Resources pays $855
for each birth to a welfare
recipient, and that does not
include dependent child
support.
Employees who are
provided with protective ear
devices should use them the
same as they would wear
safety shoes, safety glasses
or a hard hat in situations
where safety dictates the use
of these items, advise of-
ficials of the Beltone
Crusade for Hearing Con-
servation.
Efficient heating
and cooling with
the heat pump.
Research shows that in the South Texas area served by.
Central Power and Light Company, the electric heat pump
delivers about 21/2 units of heat for each unit of electrical
energy needed to run it.
What makes the heat pump so efficient? A heat pump is
based on the
principle that how the heat pump works
all air contains
heat from the
sun. Even
when the
weather is
cold and
cloudy, the
heat pump
removes heat
from the out-
side air and
pumps it into
your house. In the summer it reverses the process and
becomes an air conditioner, moving heat from the inside to
the outside. You get the desired temperature indoors year
around.
And because it uses energy so efficiently, the heat pump
has the lowest operating cost of any type of electric heating
equipment. If you are considering a new heating and air
conditioning system, you should know that the heat pump is
an important device for using energy efficiently.
