Cotton Ranting Underway ... Still Number One But
Not Bragging... In Casa You Missed It... Pesticide
Question.
Now that February is here, cotton planting can officially
begin in the Rio Grande Valley. A reduction of 50 per cant
in acres to be planted this year compared to 1974 is now
indicated for that section of the state.
The continued bleak outlook for cotton is the chief
reason for the anticipated downturn in acreage. Expected
to offset that cotton acre cut is an increase in grai->
sorghum, however.
While changes can yet occur, the following are recent
percentage estimates of acres to be planted to cotton this
season compared with last year: Coastal Bend 40 per cent;
Upper Gulf Coast 40 per cent; Brazos-Navasota River
Bottoms 40 per cent; Southern Blacklands 50 per cent.
EVEN though Texas continues to be the number one
cattle feeding state in the nation, you don't hear too many
people bragging about it any more, at least not for the
present.
But for the record, Texas had 1,327,000 head of cattle
on feed as of Jan 1„ the Texas Crop and Livestock
Reporting Services notes. This is 40 per cent below the
2.205.000 head on feed as of a year ago. It is seven per cent
below the number on feed a month ago.
The number of cattle on feed is the smallest for Texas
since June 1970 when there 1,292,000 head on feed.
Nationwide, similar downturns are reported.
Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market in the 23
major feeding states totaled 9,619,000 head. This is 26 per
cent below a year ago and 31 per cent lower than two years
ago.
In Texas, the "large" feedlots--those with 1,000 or more
capacity-had an occupancy of 43 per cent of their
capacity. Twenty-five per cent of the large Ibts were
completely vacant.
Feedlot operators report intentions to market 850,000
cattle between now and March 31. This would be 64 per
cent of the number on feed as of Jan. 1 and would be 13
per cent lower than marketing during the same time span a
year ago.
IN CASE you might have missed the final 1974
projections for major crops in Texas, here they are. Cotton
production is set at 2,260,000 bales; this is 2,053,000 bales
less than the 1973 upland cotton. Production of
American-Pima cotton, however, slowed a slight increase in
1974 over 1973. Production in 1974 was set at 27,000
bales compared with 25,800 bales in 1973.
Grain sorghum production for Texas in 1974 is expected
to be down a fourth from 1973. Total 1974 production is
set at 312,000,000 bushels compared with ’417,000,000
bushels produced in 1973.
The 1974 corn erop in Texas which comprises
73.600.000 bushels is the largest for the state since 1943.
Yield is expected to average 92 bushels per acre. Peanut
production in Texas in 1974 is expected to total
420.375.000 pounds, or about 50,000,000 pounds less than
1973. Wheat production in 1974 was about half the 1973
crop. Riot it expected to be up 25 per cant hay will be
down about 12 per cant; oat production for 1974 wilt be
down 70 par cant from 1973.
LEGISLATION will be needed to assure Texas farmers
they can continue to use certain restricted-use pesticides.
Under the law every state must submit a plan for certifying
applicators of restricted-use pesticides to the Environmental
Protection Agency on or before October, 1975. Thus,
legislative action will be needed at the current session of the
Texas Legislature.
TMA Urges Reform of
Federal Agencies
THE HOME
CORNER
MRS. LYNN PRUm J
The board of directors of
the Texas Manufacturers As-
sociation (TMA) has adopted a
resolution urging Congress to
create a National Commission
on Regulatory Reform for
Federal Agencies.
L. W. Gray, president of
the statewide association,
said that the policies and ac-
tions of Federal regulatory
agencies have, in some in-
stances, added to Inflationary
pressures, Impeded the in-
crease in productivity and
added to the onerous paper-
work burden of business and
Industry and the general pub-
lic.
He added, “Such practices
are not in the public interest.”
Gray said that the commis-
sion should review the prac-
tices, procedures and the im-
pact of such regulatory ag-
encies on the economy and to
make recommendations for
modernitlne and Improving
the operations of such ag-
encies and eliminate conflict-
ing and duplicating practices
and procedures among the ag-
encies.
Congress, following a re-
cent proposal by President
Ford, is scheduled to con-
sider such legislation in 1975.
Established in 1922, the
Texas Manufacturers Associ-
ation (TMA) is a statewide
alliance of more that 6,700
business executives repre-
senting more than 3,500 mem-
ber firms working together to
build a better climate for bus-
iness and Industry in Texas.
An advocate of the free en-
terprise system, TMA de-
velops innovative programs
designed to strengthen our
state’s economy and to pre-
vent unnecessary regulation
of business and industry.
Television viewers in Jack
County will learn how to save
fuel and cut home beating and
cooling Mila--with a program
on caulking and weatherstrip-
ping Saturday at 10:00 a.m. on
KTVT-TV, channel 11.
The upcoming half-hour
program is part of the "You
Can Do HI” television series,
sponsored locally by the Jack
County Family Living Com-
mittee.
"This week’s topic is be-
come very important to the
conservation of home heating
and cooling fuel,” Mrs. Lynn
Pruitt, countv Extension agent
observed.
"Air leaking in or out of
a house wastes fuel and ac-
home corner
home heating or cooUjy
Mils,” she said.
Conducted by hostess Cindy
Kidwell, "You Can Do It"
programs provide local
homeowners an opportunity to
acquire skills necessary to
care for and maintain their
homes inexpensively and
effectively.
The 13-part "You Can Do
It!” educational series was
created and produced by home
economics speaciallsts with
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, The Texas
A4M University System,
through a United States De-
partment of Agriculture
grant.
Next week’s program will
focus on painting house ex-
teriors.
