agricultural producers and the
envhonntcnt benefit?
i The major and rather obvious
Undine, points toward cropland
improvement.
i Ur. John M. Sweeten, agricul-
I tural engiiv. er and animal waste
management specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, explains that wastes
are an excellent source of the
el monts required for plant
growth. Nitrogen, phosphorous
and i jtassiuin. along with such
micrunulvients as iron and zinc
are present in leedlot wastes.
"Resides furnishing nutrients,
wastes offer other benefits,”
notes Swveten. "For example,
when applied to alkaline soils,
i they act as a buffering agent,
j In addition, such soil physical
i characteristics as porosity,
1 granulation, water infiltration
; rate and moisture retention rate
i are improved by adding ma-
nure.”
From the farmer’s standpoint,
manure's value as a fertilizer
depends on its composition,
j price of commercial fertilizers
and soil characteristics, points
j out the Texas A&M University
specialist. At 40 per cent mois-
ture, leedlot manure has aver-
age nitrogen-phosphorus-potas-
sium concentration (in oxide
form) of 1.5, 0.9, and 1.4 per cent
respectively, although wide var-
iations from those values are
common. With nitrogen and po-
tassium each valued at five

Philosopher Claims Cost-of-Living
Experts Over-Looked Him Last Month
*»«
Editor’s note: The Philosopher tires and a pair of run-down
on his Johnson grass farm on
Aquilla Creek looks into some
statistics this week.
Dear editar:
Every once in a while you pick
up a paper and read that the
cost of living index for such and
such a month has gone up 3
tenths of 1 per cent or some
such figure and the experts then
tell you whether this is an im-
provement or not and go into
detail about what caused the
rise.
But what I haven’t been able
to figure out is where they get
the figures.
It’s sort of like a public opin-
ion poll. Nobody knows anybody
who has ever been polled.
What I mean is, are those
cost-of-living experts talking to
enough people?
Say they report that it cost 3
tenths of 1 per cent more to live
in October than it did in Sep-
tember. That may look scien-
tific on paper but it sure leaves
out the blown gasket on my car
on October 4, the break-down on
niy television set on October 6,
the new tire I had to buy on Oct.
10, tile extra company I had to
feed on Oct. 14, the hole that
showed up in one of my shoes on
Oct. 20, the dented fender on
Oct. 25.
I don’t care what the index
shows, 3 tenths of 1 per cent
won’t cover me for the month
of October, although to keep the
national figure in line I’d be
willing to settle for that.
If my cost of living jumped
50 per cent in October, but the
national rise was just those 3
tenths of 1 per cent, then clearly
somebody somewhere must have
had a 50 per cent drop to off-
set me.
shoes to anyone who can locate
that man.

Texas Eggs - -
A Good Buy
What better way to usher in
November as Food and Fiber
Abundance Month in Texas than
by looking at a wholesome Texas
product — eggs.
Texas is one of the leading
egg producing states in the na-
tion, says Dr. David B. Mellor,
poultry marketing specialist for
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
During the past 18-24 months,
eggs have been in over supply
in the United States and prices
have been low. Many producers
have consolidated, cut back or
sold out. The consumer has been
the biggest benefactor of this
abundance and problems facing
the producers, notes the Texas
A&M University specialist.
“Any way you calculate it,
eggs are a great value. Each doz-
en of large eggs weighs at least
11/2 pounds. At 59 cents a: dozen,
that’s only 39 cents a pound.
At this price the cost per serving
— 2 eggs — is only 10 cents.
Can you beat that with any oth-
er food high in protoin?”
Protein is probably the most
expensive nutrient in our diet,
considering the fact that we
need much more protein daily
than either vitamins or min-
erals. Eggs are one of our most
economical sources of high
quality protein, contends Mal-
lor.
In addition, eggs contain the
most nearly perfect, naturally
Care Should Be
Exercised In
Storing Clothes
Fall is here — so out come ap-
propriate sweaters, Jackets and
coats. ^
With the cooler weather, sum-
mer clothes are put away —
with expectations of a nice,
fresh wardrobe next spring,
Marilyn Brown observed.
The consumer education-
clothing specialist witli the Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Serv-‘
ice, Texas A&M University, said
the homemaker should take cer-
tain steps prior to storage to
keep clothes fresh and undam-v
aged.
Unless stored clean or unsolled
under good conditions, clothes
can come out of storage in poor
shape.
“Store clothes In cool, dry
areas. Warm, moist or humid
areas are ideal environments
for mildew — especially if any
starch is left in the fabric,” she
explained.
“Once mildew Is established,
it’s impossible to remove unless
the fabric and dye can with-
stand bleaching.”
Miss Brown offered another
tip:
“Never put away soiled cloth-
ing. Stains will draw moth lar-
vae, which can quickly damage
garments in dark closets.”
In addition, the stain may
set during the time in storage—■
whereas it might have been
easily removed if promptly
treated.
“A few extra minutes of care
now can result in a better con-
ditioned wardrobe later,” she
concluded.
I will give a set of worn-out occurring protein. “The egg pro-
tein is so perfect that it is used
as the yardstick of perfection in
measuring other proteins,” points
out the specialist.

a wwe www waii lasts
its use minus application ex-
penses," says the specialist.
For instance, in studies in the
Texas Panhandle, per acre net
returns from corn silage re-
! ceiving 10 tons of manure were
boosted nearly $100 ($10 per
ton) the first year compared
| with fields receiving only ni-
trogen fertilizer. By the third
year, profits from 10 and 20-
ti n applications per acre (with-
out additional fertilizer) were
still id and $4.75 per ton, respec-
tively, when compared with un-
fertilized fields.
Application rates depend on
the areas annual rainfall, irri-
gation practices, soil types and
the crop to be grown. Sweeten
suggested that farmers apply an
annual rate not to exceed 10 to
15 tons per acre, although some-
what larger amounts can be
us d successfully at intervals
of two years or more.
Salt accumulation may be tiie
factor which limits application
rates, notes the specialist. Such
accumulations can be controlled
by regulating the rates and fre-
quencies of manure and irriga-
tion applications.
"Moderate applications of
manure low in salts should not
create soil calinity problems,”
lie contends. “In fact, soil tests
on lields receiving feedlot ma-
nure at 10 to 20 tons per acre a
year have verified that salt
build-up was not occurring.”
Time of manure application is
also important. The greatest
crop harm can occur when ma-
nure is applied days rather than
months befure pre-irrigation and
planting.
Manure should be plowed un-
der as soon as passible after
application to retain nitrogen
and eliminate the possibility of
surface water pollution, adds
! Sw eten.
Research Ls progressing on the
long-range effects and benefits
of manure on cropland. “What
has been an unwanted by-prod-
i uct of the beef industry has
' proved to be an asset for crop
. production," believes the spe-
i ciaiist.
