DAYLIGHT SAVING IS
SUNK—COKE
Au&tin, Tex., April 16.—
Gov. Coke R. Stevenson today
had no encouragement to tm
those persons seeking a return
of "daylight saving time.’’
Calling it "that monstrosity,”
the Texas governor said expe-
rience showed that instead of
saving electricity, as expected,
it had caused increased use.
Personally the governor
finds the day all right as set by
the sun. He reports at his of-
fice at 6 :S0 a. m.

steady flow of essential raw
materials as the result of new
trade agreements with her
eastern European allies and
special treaties with some of
her former enmies.
(Radio Moscow, heard in
'London, reported that an
agreement was signed Friday
with Czechoslovakia which
provides for mutual exchange
of goods. The broadcast said
provisions also included a reg-
ulation of ineompleted mutual
accounts of prewar trade op-
erations.)
A Soviet-Polish trade agree-
ment signed Saturday calls for
an exchange of goods between
the two countries until April
1, 1947, in the amount of
SI9?,000,000. The figure is an
increase of $72,000,000 over
the first Soviet-Polish agree-
ment signed July 11, 1945.
Stipulations and provisions of
the second agreement have
not yet been published, but
they no doubt will extend and
amplify provisions of the first
treaty.
Russia already has entered
into special agreements with
such former enemy nations as
Romania, Bulgaria and Hun-
gary.
LUFKIN MAN IS
ELECTROCUTED
Lufkin, April 18.—Rob Duke
of Lufkin was killed instantly
at 7:30 'o’clock this morning
when he attempted to cut a
tree off an electric power line
near the Country Club outside
of the city.
Mr. Duke had been cutting
t»mber near the scene of the
tragedy, according to reports,
and a tree fell across the line.
agents arid members of county
USLA Councils as the basis for
exhibits and talks before in-
terested groups. Dr. Me P.
Trotter, director of the Texas
A. and M. College Extension
Sendee, has announced.
One point made by the ma-
terial is'that world food pro-
duction in 1945 was 12 per
cent per capita below pre-war
production. This in spite of
the fact that food production
in the United States for the
same period was up 33 per
cent above the pre-war aver-
age.
Pictorica! charts included in
the material compare 1945
world food production with a
loaf of bread 14 slices long in-
stead of a standard 16 slice
ioaf. The U. S. loaf, on the
other hand, was 21 and a third
slices long.
Much of continental Eu-
rope was a battlefield in 1945.
Even in areas where armies
did not pass, food production
was low because livestock had
been driven off, plows and oth-
er equipment had worn out.
little or no fertilizer or good
seeds were available, and man-
power was low. Meanwhile a
severe drought occurred in the
Mediterranean countries and
North Africa. The war in the
Pacific cut food production in
Asiatic countries from 3 to 25
per cent.
World production of four
great food staples in 1945
ranged from 8 per cent below
pre-war figures for wheat, 15
per cent below for rye, 16 per j
cent for rice and 18 per cent
for sugar.
