College Station, April 3.—
Permitted by cotton and wheat
acreage reduction contracts to
use Government rented acres to
produce food and feed for fam-
ily and workstock, if other land
is not available or is not enough
for this purpose, scores of
thousands of Texas farmers
are puzzled about how much
land this will be.
As outlined in the Texas A.
and M. College Extension Serv-
ice Hving-at-home demonstra-
tion, an average of 25 acres
would be required for this pur-
pose if the family has live
members and the workstock
consists of two animals. From
the following list of animal
feed requirements, however,
every farmer can figure out
the problem for himself.
For each horse or mule al-
low 50 bushels of com or simi-
lar grain, 2 tons of hay and I
acre of improved pasture,
such as Sudan grass. For each
dairy cow allow 25 bushels of
com or similar grain, 2 tons of
hay and 1 acre of improved
pasture. For each head of
beef cattle provide 10 bushels
of com or similar grain, 1 ton
of hay and 1 acre improved
pasture. For each hog raised
provide 14 bushels of com or
similar grain and Vi-acre of
improved pasture. For each
sheep provide 2 bushels of corn
or similar grain, 120 pounds of
hay and 14-acre of improved
pasture. For each hen allow 1
bushel of com or similar grain,
and for each turkey raised lVk
bushels of com or similar
grain.
If a farmer is providing for
four horses, two dairy cows, 50
hens, and is fattening a beef
«teer, two hogs and two sheep,
hh would need 342 bushels of
com or grain sorghums or simi-
lar grain, about'13 tons of hay,
and about 8 acres of improved
pasture, if he is to have plenty
of feed. At the rate of 20
bushels of com per acre and
two tons of hay per acre this
would require 17 acres of corn
or grain, 7 acres of hay and 8
acres of pasture, a total of 32
acres. In addition, for home
food supply, an extra 3 acres
would be required for garden,
orchard and peas, melons, po-
tatoes and cane for syrup.
! If the farmer in this case has
provided none of these re-
quirements in the past he will
be permitted by cotton or
wheat contracts to take 35
rented acres for this purpose.
If he has previously had only

He is ambitious to achieve;
He disposes to do;
He desires to serve;
He cheerfully meets difficulties;
He expects disappointments.
The pleasure he enjoys from the results
of his accomplishments pays back many
times the disappointments.

that had much to do with his success.
