Beef Prices Influenced by Population
Boot prices oontinuo steady
aeross tho nation despite in-
ereased production .nut in-
ereased livestock marketings,
the main reason is tho inoroa
sod domain! tot boot dur to
tho coutinuod grow th in tho
Unitod Slates population and
rising por capita disposable
income, says Dr. Edward
Uvacek, livestock marketing
specialist for tho Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
lie points out that the U. S.
population increased by 2.2
million from July 1, 1970 to i
July 1, 1971 and that per cap-
ita disposable income rose 7
percent during that same per-
iod from a year earlier. "This
has placed all sorts of demand
on the only slightly higher
total meat production. "
Prices for feeder cattle con-
tinue up due to good feed
grain crops during the past
year and the continued ex-
pansion of large commercial
feedlots in the Texas High
Plains and in the Midwest.
Citing figures from the U. S
Department of Agriculture,
Uvacek notes that cattle num-
bers have changed relatively
little from 1966 to 1970.
Beef cows and heifers have
increased by about 3. 5 millio;
while daity cows and heifers
have decreased Dy some 5
million; The average value
per head of all cattle rose
from $133 to $179.
In Texas daity cow and hei-
fer numbers remained stable
during the four- year period
while beef cows and heifers
increased only about a half
million. The average value
per head of all cattle in Texa:
increased from $115 to $155.
"The real striking statistic
as far as beef cattle are con-
cerned is the growth in the
cattle feeding industry in Tex-
as, " points out Uvacek. "Cattl
tie feeding jumped 58 percent
during the short period from
1969 ro 1972.
"Of course, this phenomenal
growth has put Texas in the
driver's seat as the nation's
top cattle feeding state."

In thousands of homes and businesses throughout “TP&L Territory,”
central heating systems, heat pumps, wall and baseboard units and
portable electric heaters provide cozy warmth, night and day.
If electric heating kept you warm during the recent cold spell, your
electric service bill will be higher. But, think of the many extra hours
your electric heating equipment worked and the comfort it provided.

Social Security
"The 1972 Amendments to
the Social Security Act, en-
acted, October 1972, contain-
ed a element of men's libera-
tion, " said Gus Jones, Distric
Manager of the Sherman So-
cial Security Office today.
Jones went on to explain
that the Amendments changed
the ending point for elapsed
years to be used in figuring
the primary insurance amount
for a male wage earner.
The old computation pro-
cess required that ill years
elapsing after 1950 up to the
year of attainment of age 65
had to be considered when the
benefit was figured for a man.
Out of those years, five low
earnings years could be drop-
ped. Earnings in all the re-
maining years were added and
the total earnings divided by
the number of years used. The
primary insurance amount was
based on this average,
"Women got the breaks un-
der the law until the Amend-
ments, " said Jones. "Elapsed
years for them were counted
up to the age of 62 while elap-
sedNyears for men had to be
counted up to age 65. "
The new law provide s that
computation for men will con-
sider elapsed years after 1950
up to age 62 for men who will
be 62 in 1975 or later. Elapsed
years for men whorattain age
62 before 1975 are counted up
to the earliest of on e of the
following points: The year of
attainment of age 65, the year
of 1975, or the year of death.
This provision is effective
for benefits payable beginning
January 1973. Jones encouBEagr
ed men who will attain 62 this
year to check with a represen-
tative of the social security
office about this part of. the
Amendments.
The Amendments a’so raised
the amount a person can earn
and still receive social security
benefits. This will be $2100
a year beginning in January.
So some men who are still
working may want to take ad-
vantage of the provision of
the Amendments.
Early Speech Developments
“The medical services a child
receives during his first year
should include at least one
check of his hearing ability,”
according to David Smith, di-
rector of the Beltone Crusade
for Hearing Conservation.
The crusade, sponsored by
Chicago-based Beltone Elec-
tronics Corporation, world
leader in hearing aids and
electronic hearing test instru-
ments, is designed to build
public awareness of the vital
need for hearing conserva-
tion.
Early hearing loss detec-
tion is important because a
child learns to speak by imi-
tating the sounds he hears,
and speech patterns usually
start to develop during a
child’s first year. Also, there
is an indication the sounds a
child hears as early as age
three months can affect
speech development.
Unfortunately, for many
children suffering from con-
genital hearing losses, their
problems are not identified
until poor speech patterns
have developed—patterns that
can be very difficult to re
verse.
While children less than a
year old can not be given
hearing tests comparable to
those given older children and
adults, there are procedures
that can indicate an infant
may have a hearing problem.
Also, “high-risk” infants —
including those born prema-
turely, those who have a
brother or sister with a hear-
ing problem, or those whose
family has a history of hear-
ing impairments — should be
given particularly close scrut-
iny for indications of possible
hearing losses.
