TEXAS CATTLE RANGES
ARE ABOVE AVERAGE
Austin. Texas.—The condition of
Texas cattle ranges generally was
above average with good prospects
for late summer and fall while the
condition of cattle was reported at 8ti
per cent of normal compared to a five
| year average of 87 per cent, a report
| issued a few days ago by Federal-
State crop and livestock reporting
service said.
Conditions of ranges were spotted,
however, and rainfall would be bene-
ficial in most areas, the report stat-
ing that localities in south, central
and West Texas were suffering for
moisture and although there was
plenty of dry grass in most cases,
stock water shortage was acute.
Range conditions were reported at 85
per cent of normal.
In the northwest and west central
districts, water holes were well filled
and conditions were reported very
good, in many areas conditions being
the best in years. “The feed crop
prospects seldom, if ever, have been
better than at the present time,” the
report stated, adding that nearly all
feed producing areas anticipated a
feed surplus.
Sheep and goat ranges showed less
than the seasonal decline and were
rated at 85 per cent of normal. Heavy
rains of early July, however, failed
to reach the southern part of the
west central district along the
| border and it was reported to be very
dry.
Sheep declined two per cent the
past month, being rated at 85 per
cent, about the usual seasonal de-
cline. The decline was attributed to
the hot and dry weather the latter
part of July.
The movement of lambs has con-
tinued in volume the past month and
j shipments from the State the first
j half of the year were larger than the
I record number moving the same peri-
j od last year.
Why doesn’t New York City' solve
j its financial difficulties by abolishing
all official salaries and making the
job-holders bid for the privilege?—

V millions of years before even these frightful monsters
lived, comes the Bradford-Alleganv crude oil of the
Pennsylvania District—the crude which Sinclair refines
into Sinclair Pennsylvania Motor Oil. Bradford-Allegany
crude is Pennsylvania’s costliest crude. The extra price
which Sinclair must pay for every barrel of Bradford*
Allegany crude results from its remarkable lubricating
qualify—a quality which was established by the perfect
oil-forming conditions in the Devonian Age, enhanced
by a hundred million years of filtering and mellowing.

Replicas of old Fort Dearborn,
Chicago, and of the birthplace of
Abraham Lincoln have already been
erected at the Century of Progress
World’s Fair which opens at Chicago
next June 1, for five months. They
are now open to the public almost a
year in advance of the opening date
of the fair. Texas should be repre-
sented there with a replica of the
sacred Alamo, of the birthplace of
Sam Houston, and perhaps other his-
toric buildings of Texas. While the
Texas Legislature is prevented, by
our Constitution, from appropriating
funds for the purpose of placing a
Texas exhibit at the World’s Fair,
patriotic Texans, appointed by the
Governor to the board of the Texas
World Fair Commission, are doing
their utmost to raise funds through
public subse’iption for this purpose.
They should succeed.

Mine’s a good story from the Cam-
eron County News, San Benito. A
farmer nee led t rnnspoi t at ion. lit
bough: a used car and In re is ; art nf
the contract: "The purchaser agree.-
to deliver to the residence of the
owner, within 17 weeks, vegetables,
eggs, chickens and butter at prevail
ing market prices, to the full extent
of the purchase price." In another
section a garage is accepting eggs at
prevailing market prices for gaso-
line, oil and repair work. Of course,
there are many stores over Texas
which have already accepted eggs,
chickens and butter for merchandise.
This is a long established custom in
Texas.
Was just reading in the Sabinal
Sentinel where J. M. Fenley, 91, was
given a surprise birthday party with
an old time barbecue, cakes, etc. Mr.
Fenley told of coming to the Sabinal
Canyon from Louisiana by ox wagon,
making twelve miles per day. Some
speed in those days. If were were go-
ing to Louisiana today, by motor car
we would he greatly disappointed if
we failed to make at least 400 miles
each day, or, leaving home in Texas
today, arrive in a Louisiana city be-
fore sundown the next day. Of course
if were were in a big hurry we could
take an airplane and arrive there the
same day we left home. Life is like
that. All change and all speed in ev-
erything. It is the machine age. We
are living so fast that we fail to en-
joy the companionship of our neigh-
bors or our traveling companions.

For many years the movement of
humanity has been from the farm to
the "white collar” jobs of the city.
Since the depression this movement
has been reversed. The “white collar”
jobs are giving out and one seldom
makes a living from a back-yard gar-
den. The Department of Agriculture
statistics show that 1,472,000 persons
left the farms to move to town,
while 1,079,000 persons moved onto
farms. The farm population on Jan-
uary 1, 1932, was placed at 32,620,000
as compared with 30,162,000 at the
beginning of 1932. This is a healthy
sign, and Texas has more than ten
million acres of rich agricultural
land that has never been placed un-
der cultivation. Come to Texas.
* * *
No one part of Texas, it seems,
has a monopoly on home canning of
surplus fruits, meats and vegetables.
Frio county women have hung up an
enviable record in this respect, and
now comes word from Falls county
that 234 women members of home
demonstration clubs there have put
up 38,843 containers. There are 184
steam pressure cookers in the county.
This is perhaps the surest way in the
world to "turn the corner” and find
out just where the "depression” has
gone.

Report of the State auditor shows
that taxes, fees, etc., have brought a
total revenue of $108,240,257 into the
Texas treasury during the fiscal year
ending August 1, 1931. Reports of
the Federal government show that
Texas paid $32,799,804 in income, es-
tate and other taxes toward the sup-
port of the Federal government.

Texas cities lead the nation in the
matter of parks and recreation facil-
ities for their people, according to
the Federal Labor Department which
has just completed a survey. Dallas
leads all Texas cities with 6,202 acres
of park space; Houston is second
with 2,700 acres; San Antonio is
third with 1,600 acres, or one acre of
park space for each 84 inhabitants.
These figures are for city parks only
and do not include approximately
31,000 acres of land now included in
the State park system, few of which
have been beautified due to lack of
appropriation from the Texas Legis-
lature.

Mure than 100,000,000 trees of
which 25.510,052 were for planting
mi f.u ms, were distributed by State
fore-try departments for forest plant-
ing last year, reports of the Forest
Service, United States Department
nt Agriculture, show. Thirty-eight
states and two territories co-operated
with Federal agencies in furnishing
trees for farm planting. Plantings of
all classes gained nearly 30 per cent
over 1930, when the total distribu-
tion 79,319,000 trees.
Pennsylvania led in farm forest
planting with 6,028,835 trees, follow-
ed by New York with 4,800,000, Puer-
to Rico with 1,253,800 and Michigan
with 1,238,000. Nebraska, Wisconsin,
Tennessee and Indiana each set out
more than three-quarters of a million
trees. Pines and spruces were leading
varieties planted on farms. More
than 2,500,000 trees were sent out for
farms of the South, chiefly slash, lob-
lolly, longleaf and shortleaf pines,
with some pitch pine, white, Scotch
and Austrian pines and cypress, lo-
cust, walnut, tulip and other hard-
woods. Federal agencies co-operate
with States in producing trees for
farms, trees usually being distribu-
ted at cost.
