Farm production figures
to be gathered this month
AUSTIN - The Texas Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service will
begta contacting farmers and ran-
ches across the state in late
November for acreage, yield and
production totals for 1985 and for
end-of-year livestock and poultry in-
the confidential interviews, con-
ducted by mail or in person by field
enumerators, provide information
used by producers to make their pro-
duction and marketing plans for the
coming year.
"Producers are depending on this
information for an accurate picture
of the 1985 agricultural situation,’’
state statistician Dennis Findley
reported. "Results from these
surveys also provide vital informa-
tion on the direction of Texas
agriculture In tough economic
times, accurate crop and livestock
figures are essential for all
segments of the agricultural com-
munity.’’
To reduce survey costs, the Texas
Crop and Livestock Reporting Ser-
vice is urging individuate to return
the mailed questionnaires as soon as
possible. The reported information
will be combined for state as well as
county estimates.
Annual county estimates are
published for livestock, dairy,
poultry, cotton, field crops, small
grains, fruits and pecans,
vegetables, and cash receipts from
the sale of farm products.

Mont Belvieu mayor wants hy-out
MONT BELVIEU - Mont Belvieu Mayor Fred Miller has called for
the town’s petrochemical industries to buy out approximately 419
residences and businesses located on "the hill” In this small com-
munity along Hwy. 146 near MO.
The town was rocked by a series of explosions at the Warren
Petroleum plant Tuesday. The explosions and fires left two dead and
caused the evacuation of thousands of residents.
Mont Belvieu is perched atop a salt dome with toe capacity to store
more petrochemicals in underground caverns than anywhere else in
the world.
Tuesday’s evacuation was one of several in toe town’s history. In
1980, toe same year Miller was elected mayor, a gas leak forced 70
families from their homes for five months.
Miller has continued to fight for an industry buy-out of toe struc-
tures built on the salt dome since his election and, following
Tuesday’s incident, called a special city council meeting to review
steps that might be taken to get families permanently “off the hill.”
