That statement was made recently
by Paul H. Walser, state coordinator
of the Department of Agriculture
Soil . Conservation Service and a
member of the Texas USD A Defense
Board.
"In the last war, we produced the
s'iarrd fibers and vegetable oils
needed for victory, but we ruined mil-

rows up and down hill. We planted
crops 'without any consideration of
the capabilities of the land, without
any consideration of the crops best
suited to the land. We planted and
plowed and 'harvested without reck-
oning with soil erosion. As a conse-
quence, the nation's agricultural
plant was damaged premanently.
"That won't happen to Texas farm
and ranch lands this time," the state
coordinator declared. "Here's why:
Texas farmers and ranchers, sup-
ported by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, other federal agencies,
and local and state agencies, already
have a going program of conserva-
tion and wise land use. Because of
this soil and water conservation pro-
gram, farmers and ranchers can ex-
pand production to meet the demands
of Food-For Freedom without the
land waste of the first World War."
Many of the foods—livestock and
livestock products—needed for de-

duced' by a grassland agriculture,

From its massive new front to a smartly tapered rear, the new
Ford for 1942 features advanced styling and safer, easier riding
than any of its more than 29,000,000 predecessors. This photo shows
the new frontal design, with a wide grille of bright metal as its
dominant feature. Ford for '42 is offered in three lines—the Super
DeLuxe, the DeLuxe and the economy Special. The first two are
equipped at the factory with either the famous V-8 engine or an ad-
vanced 90-horsepower "six".
which has been described as "a pan-
acea for erosion." He warned, how-
ever, that overgrazing ajid misuse of
pastures and ranges can and does re-
sult in serious erosion. The Texas
USD A Defense Board is suggesting
that livestock production be increas-
ed largly by producing fatter and
better quality animals rather than
by increasing number of animals.
"This plan is soiiiid," Walser add-
ed. "Experiment stations records
with beef cattle show that more beef
and a better quality beef can be pro-
duced per acre, for example, when
the number of cattle on a range or
pasture does not exceed the actual
livestock carrying capacity of the
range or pasture."
Some grasshoppers surround their
eggs in the fall with an insulated
wall of air bubbles to protect them
from the winter cold.
1942 Payment
Rates Announced
Rates of payments to Texas farm-
ers under the 1942 AAA program are
directed at greater conservation in
individual farms, according to Fred
Rennels, assistant admistrative offi-
cer of the AAA in Texas.
Other provisions will assist farm-
ers in attaining record production
of commodities needed in the Food
For Freedom campaign, he said in-
clude cotton at 1.25 cents per pound;
wheat, 10.5 cents per bushel; rice,
$4.86 per barrel; and peanuts, 7.25
cents per 100 pounds. The rate on
commercial potatoes, included in the
program for the first time this year,
is 2 cents per bushel.
In explaining the program further,
Rennels said that farmers may earn
two types of payments, one in con-
nection with special allotments and
the other for carrying out soil-build-
ing practices. Special allotment crops
in Texas are wheat, cotton, rice, po-
tatoes and peanuts.
Payments for complying with ac-
reage allotments will be made in pro-
portion to the degree with which
erosion-resisting, dr soil-conserving
acreage requirements are met.
Soil-building allowances establish-
ed at 70 cents per acre on cropland
in excess of special allotments may
be earned by carrying out nri'v^ved
practices, the AAA official explain-
ed.
As in previous years, payments
under the program depend upon the
$500,000,000 annual appropriation
authorized in the AAA Act of 1938,
Rennels said. Rates are subject to
10 per cent upward or downward re-
vision depending upon -the degree
with which farmers comply with the
program.
Instead of total soil-depleting a}-
I lotments as established under past
programs, next year's •program pro-
vides a specified percentage of crop-
land be derated,:to erosion-resisting
or soil-conserviog crops'or land' uses.
, This provision of the program is a
forward step in continued soil im-
provement, Rennels pointed out.

• The parly explorers who discovered what is now the Gulf South saw only the fields and
the forests. They were seeking an empire. They found more than they knew!
• For under the earth they trod was another empire, rich in possibilities for comfort,
convenience, and happiness, for the populations to come—the great Natural Gas fields of
this area. >
• Now a new kind of explorer has come to discover this hidden force and develop it into a
great servant foe the people of the Gulf South to use.
§ This Company and associated Companies devote their means and efforts to the business
of providing your region with a Dependable Natural Gas Service—exploring the land for
new Gas supplies, producing the Gas, and transporting it over thousands of miles to deliver
it unfailingly at the city gates of Gulf South cities and towns we serve.
