FHA Borrowers
Increase Growth
Winter Crops
In areas where adopted, Farm-
ers Home Administration borrow-
ers grew more winter cover crops
in 1954 than in any previous
year since 1949, according to Mr
Waiter T. McKay, State Direc-
tor of the Farmers Home Admin-
istration. The limiting factor was
moisture conditions; however,
farmers in the eastern half of the
state, as well as in the Gulf Coast
section, were able to get good
stands of legumes and small
grains which grew off fairly well.
Early last Fall FHA Supervi
sons made individual plans with
borrowers regarding their winter
cover crop program, extending
credit where necessary. This re-
sulted in the production of much-
needed winter grazing crops for
the farmer's livestock in addition
to the soil improvement value of
the legume crops. Such soil im-
provement values will be reflected
in higher yields <>f cash crops
grown on the land in 1955.
Mr McKay stated that records
of past years of FHA borrowers
clearly demonstrate the increase
in debt paying ability of borrow
ers who follow a ¡1 building and
winter grazing program in tlu-ir
farming operati"iis.
Frank Bridge*, bounty Super-
visor for Milam and Burleson
Counties reported that FHA bor
rowers in this area were selling
heavier and better quality calves
due to the increase in soil build-
ing and winter grazing program
quality on the skids unless pro-
ducen take a few precautions.
High temperaturea and low
kumidity are two of tke greatest
enemies of good egg quality. For
producers who sell on grade, a
drop in quality means lower
prices. 8old ungraded, a drop in
quality means decreased consum-
er demand.
Keep tke eggs clean. Use clean,
dry nesting materials and keep
tke .birds confined on wet days
to avoid mud-tracked nests.
Step up tke number of times
each day eggs are gathered, pre-
ferably to two or three times
daily. A wire basket allows air
to circulate quickly, carrying off
the heat.
Store eggs in a cool, humid
but well ventilated place. And
market regularly and frequently
Grade AA eggs become inedible
in three days at 96 degrees, but
usually will remain Grade A for
about six months if held just
above frees ing.
Card of Thanks
I wish to express my ataeere
and appreciation to my
frienda for the flowers, cards,
visits, and all the other nice
things you did for me during my
stay in the hospital and since my
return home.
