Milk Prodwcen See
Big Market
Fort Worth, Texas. (UP)—
Milk producers in this area are
investigating the possibility
that they can supply milk to
the 30,000 soldiers who will
train at Camp Brownwood.
L A. Boswell, prominent
dairyman, said that produc-
ers in the Brownwood area are
trying to get that business but
he expressed doubts that the
supply will be sufficient unless
supplemented by canned milk.
Tarrant connty reputedly
has the largest milk output of
any county in Texas, and the
local market has been depress-
ed in recent years by over-sup-
ply. Ross Armstrong, market
analyst here, said that the
needs of Camp Brownwood
can be supplied from the Fort
Worth milkshed without af-
fecting the local market.

WILDLIFE AS A CROP IN EAST TEXAS
Austin, Tex.—Wildlife on farms in the wooded areas of
East Texas is worth $140.81 in food for the farmer, his family
and part of his stock, a survey, one of several to be made by
the Texas Game, Fish and Oyster Commission, discloses, ac
coriling to the executive secretary. In addition, insectivorous
birds do far more good in capturing insects which destroy
crops.
Squirrels rank first in importance in many sections of East
Texas. The survey, made in Wood County, shows: Families
We also note an interesting I kill on an average of 154 squirrels per year. At 35 cents per
stoty, entitled: "Farmers Can squirrel this totals $53 a year. Each family catches an average

ilies questioned, 81.5 per cent trap fur-bearers, earning $30 a
year.
Babbits, oppossums, ducks, quail, doves and various fruits
made into preserves, make up the remainder of the natural re-
sources used by the average farm family. The total of $140.81
does not take into consideration that 36.7 per cent of the
farmers own an average of 18.47 hogs that feed on acorn mast.

NEW FREEZER
FOR FRUITS
Austin, Tex. (UP)—Inven-
tion of a new fruit and vege-
table freeser to help Texas
farmers preserve their pro-
duce for an all-year market
was announced t)y University
of Texas engineers here today.
Built at the low cost of $506
for the small growers of
North, East and Central Texas
who have been dumping their
fruits and vegetables on the
market to avoid spoiling, the
machine was called a marked
advancement in the quick-
freezing field by W. R. Wool-
rich, university engineering
dean.
Offering a faster freezing
rate, the machine uses to ad-
vantage the ice crystals which
have heretofore clogged freez-
ing apparatus.
Dean Woobich pictured the
farmer of the future bringing
his produce to a community
locker plant where it will be
quick-frozen and stored away
under his name for use as the
market demand arises.
The estimated cost of freez-
ing with the new machine—
two and a half cents per pound
of frozen product—is negligi-
ble in the face of losses which
farmers are now undergoing
their efforts to sell crops
when no market need exists,
he said.
A patent for the freezer is
now pending in Washington,
D. C, and will be controlled
by the University of Texas re-
search corporation. Dean
Woolrich, head of the univer-
sity’s bureau of engineering
research, said.
