Continuing preeent na-

U S Department of Agri-

The finding is based on an

related resources of the
United States The analysis
was part of a report required
by Congress In the Soil and

tion Act of 1077 (RCA),

duciive capacity of Ameri-
can agriculture would de-
crease and production costs
would increase
The report says that these
resource problems need to
be addressed most quickly:
Excessiveeroeion rates, up-
stream flood damages,
groundwater depletion, and
deteriorated water quality.
To protect future condi-
tions the USDA analysts
used a computer model to
simulate the nation s agri-
cultural productivity related
to erosion. Although the
model's results can't be
taken as absolute indicators
of what will happen, they do
show the relative direction
of American agriculture and
the possible magnitude of
future resource conditions
and problems.
RCA Appraisal Part II.
the second of three major
RCA documents, contains
the detailed analysis of the
trends in the use and
condition of America's soil
and water resource base A
copy of this and other RCA
documents is available for
reference use at SCS and
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service
offices throughout the state.
The offices in Meridian are
located at 102 South Fuller.
A short leaflet summariz-
ing the RCA findings and
proposed conservation pro-
gram is also available at
these USDA offices. The
leaflet contains a pre-ad-
dressed. postage-paid re-
sponse form that may be
used to send comments to
USDA Responses should
be mailed by January 15.

ed Texas has experienced
more than a five-fold In-
crease in cases of measles in
1961. compared to 1960.
Eight hundred thirty-nine
cases of rubella (measles)

Texas Department of
Health since January 1,
1961, Children less than 2
years of age are most
severely effected by the
complications of measles
which may include pneu-
monia. otitis media, and
encephalitis and may even
result in death About half
(48%) of the cases have
been occurring in children
below 15 months of age —
the age at which measles
immunization is usually giv-
en The age distribution of
the remaining cases shows
that 37% (313) of the 839
reported cases are in child-
ren 5 years of age through
19 years, school age child-
ren.
The Texas Department of
Health urges all persons
likely to be exposed to
measles to seek the measles
