High Grade Beef
Not Always
Highest Selling
College Station — High grades
of beef do not necessarily sell
for more titan lower grades,
says a new publication of the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
Cattlemen know that in most
cases the price for “Choice"
cattle is higher than the price
for "Standard” grade cattle,
though the price ranges of each
grade overlap the others, L-607,
■Effects of Grades, Weights,
Buyers on Beef Carcass Prices,”
explains that this means that
some lower grade cattle bring
better prices than the next
higher grade.
Reasons for this difference,
according to the publication, in-
clude the fact that if one grade
of beef is desired more than an-
other, the price bidding for that
grade increases. This desire de-
pends on how much each type
of buyer wants that particular
quality carcass, it says.
The method of carcass dis-
tribution also has a tremendous
effect on the final wholesale
price. Beef sold through restau-
rants, chain stores and small
butchers normally sell for dif-
ferent prices and though the
final destination of some beef
is not known, the type of buy-
er purchasing it gives a clue.
The weight of the carcass has
art effect on the price as well,
according to L-607. Buyers will
pay more for top Good carcasses
than for average or low Goods,
and will pay more for light-
weight carcasses than for the
heavier ones. Also, different
buyers with different needs Will
demand different weights and
grades of beef.
In establishing the final sale
price demand for different
.grades, buyers, grades and
weights all affect the selling
price of carcasses. To the cattle
producer, the packer- whole-
saler and the retailer, these fac-
tors are important and their
final goal is providing the con-
sumer with fresh, wholesome,
high quality beef at a price as
close to the actual value as
possible.
It isn’t how much a man
■knows that counts, but how he
can apply that knowledge to the
encironment in which he finds
himslef.

without seeing any sign of hu-

charge of his voyage in 1492
and crew members received $2,50

In Operation
By Vern Sanford
Texas Press Association
Austin — A brand new State
agency dedicated to bringing
more free-spending tourists to
Texas now is in operation.
Texas Tourist Development
Agency held its first meeting,
discussed policy guidelines and
set a timetable for selection of
an agency to handle its $200,000
advertising account. Advisory
board members will meet on
January 16-17 to pick the firm
which will prepare and place its
tourist-luring ads.
Sworn in as advisory board
members were James M. Gaines,
radio-television executive of
San Antonio, chairman; Bill
Berger, publisher of the Hondo
Anvil-Herald; John McCartney,
advertising executive of Frito-
Lay, Inc., Dallas; G. A. tPopi
Mabry, public relations execu-
tive for Humble Oil and Refin-
ing Company, Houston; John
Powell, hotel executive of Aus-
tin; and Chris Fox, El Paso
banker.
Said Governor John Connally:
"I hope this is the beginning of
a tremendous program . . . Your
work is important to the eco-
nomic future of Texas.”
He commented that the 1964-
65 advertising budget is so small
that the state will have to
“ride piggy-back” on privately
financed national advertising
for a few years.
He noted that Texas is sixth
in the nation in population —
and some statisticians believe it
soon will be third. But it’s below
the top 10 in tourist attraction.
In 1957, 10,400,000 tourists
came to this state and spent
$581,000,000. In 1962, only 9,-
600,000 tourists visited Texas.
They spent an estimated $471,-
000,000,
A “See Texas First” campaign
to get Texans to spend their
vacations in Texas is being
planned. The Agency is stepping
ip its administrative activity,
and will add Walt Warner,
Capitol correspondent, to its
staff.
About the only time high
school girls are ever speechless
is just after a close high school
football game.
