Washington
Report
Congressman J.J. Pickle
Washington, D.C. - A court
ordered redisricting plan
which deletes Lockhart and
Luling from the 10th District
and adds Georgetown will
evidently go into effect
immediately
I suspect the court intended
for the new districts to become
effective in 1974, when the next
Congressional elections are
scheduled, but a technicality in
the court ruling modified dis
trict lines without a delay.
Under the new redisricting
plan, Luling, Lockhart, and
most of Caldwell County are
moved to District 23, which is
ably represented by my friend
and colleague. Congressman
Chick Kazen. The Martindale
census tract of Caldwell County
remains in the 10th District.
Much of Western Williamson
County, including Georgetown,
Liberty Hill and Leander, is
included in the 10th District,
while the Taylor and Round
Rock areas will stay in Con-
gressman Bob Poage's district.
The 10th District now also
includes Shiner and Moulton in
Lavaca County and a small
portion of Gonzales County.
There will probably be some
confusion over new districts
since lines cut across several
counties, but public officials
should soon have full infor-
mation on precisc boundaries of
each new district.
I deeply regret losing Lock
hart and Luling. Over the
ytiars, I have developed many,
many close friendships in these
cities, some of the best friends I
have in the world. It seems
hard to believe that the court
has taken these cities away.
On the other hand, I am very
pleased and excited to again
represent the Georgetown
area, which was previously
included in the 10th District.
The redisricting controver
sy which found its way even-
tually to the U.S. Supreme
Court, has been a recurring
problem in Texas, and hopeful
ly the new plan will provide an
enduring method of insuring
equal representation for all
Texans.
FREE CONSUMER LINE
OPENS: A nationwide line has
been opened to provide con-
sumers with information about
toy and crib safety. With the
Christmas season approaching,
this service can verify the
safety of gifts planned for
smaller children.
This free telephone service,
provided by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission, is
available from 8:30 a.m. until
7:00 p.m. by dialing 1-800-
638 2666.
Extension On
Cotton Stalk
Destruction
AUSTIN - Cotton farmers in
South Central Texas have been
granted an extension on cotton
stalk destruction on a personal-
need basis only, Agriculture
Commissioner John C. White
has announced.
The eight counties included
are Williamson, Travis, Hays,
Comal, Guadalupe, Caldwell,
Bastrop, and Lee.
"October 31 midnight was
the deadline for stalk destruc-
tion, but because of the heavy
rains this season, we have
extended the deadline, but only
for those farmers whose fields
are too wet to plow," Commis
sioner White said.
We want to work with those
farmers who still have cotton in
the field, but it is imperative
that we stick as close to the
pink bollworm control schedule
as we can. Stalks remaining in
the field will provide winter
habitats for the insect."
Estimates for yield in South
Central Texas show a decrease
of 15,000 bales from last year,
according to the most recent
reports. Cotton acreage is
somewhat lower, but wet
weather is mainly responsible
for reduction in yield and
quality. Demand and prices for
cotton have fluctuated since the
73 74 season began, and in the
past week prices declined $50 a
bale less than last week.
