LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dear Billye,
I am enclosing$4.50for
our subscription to the
Review. When we moved
away from Crosbyton we
thought we would get the
paper for a year and by
that time we would have
been gone long enough,
we would not miss gett-
ing the paper.
We have found that Is
not true. We still enjoy
getting the news of old
friends and even enjoy
reading about the new
people who come In.
Some of the pictures
are especially meaning-
ful to us and of course,
they go Into a scrapbook.
So many people In this
area have people there or
know some one there who
lived In Dublin or around
here. They almost seem
Dear Billye,
We’ve moved and would
like you to change our ad-
dress as we don’t want to
miss an issue of the “Re-
view”. We look forward
to the news from home.
We moved to Mobile the
1st of Ffebruary and ex-
pect to be here until the
summer of 1972. Jim will
be putting in the tunnel
under Mobile River.
Thank you,
Sallie Finch
like home folks to us and
we enjoy visiting with
them.
Thanks again for the
paper and we look forward
to Saturday whenltcomes
to our house.
Most sincerely,
Lula Black

Highlights And Sidelights
From Your State Capital
By Vem Sanford
Texas Press Association
A feud between big city
and rural school districts
over the cost of education
is expected to go to fed-
eral court soon In a major
lawsuit.
Dallas, Ft. Worth and
Houston school boards
questioned the “financial
fairness’’ of collection
and distribution of the
state’s minimum foun-
dation funds.
They claim that the dis-
tribution formula favors
rural districts. A bill to
correct this brought a
storm of protest from
rural districts during last
year’s legislative
session. Best the legls-
could come up with under
the circumstances was a
bill creating an 18-mem-
ber commltteeto re-
commend “a fair and
equitable basis for a dl-
vislon of financial re-
sponsibilities between
the state and the various
local districts of Texas.”
Suit will seek statewide
uniform property tax val-
uations. Action is due to
be directed against the
State Board of Education.
Meanwhile, the Texas
Research League pointed
out that aid to local school
districts is the most ex-
pensive obligation of State
government and most Im-
portant determinant of
EDDIE VERETT receiving Water Depletion Data from ALVIN MORRISON,
Chairman of the Rio Blanco Soil and Water Conservation District Board of
Directors. Verett is one of the first to receive this data. SCS PHOTO
SWCD To Provide Water Depletion Data For Tax Use
“The Rio Blanco Soil
and Water Conservation
District, In an effort to
provide a needed service
to local landowners, has
made arrangements to
provide water depletion
data for use on federal
income tax returns,’’ ac-
cording to Alvin Mor-
rison, chairman of the
board of directors.
This type of service
cost the District money!
In order for thisprogram
to be a success and con-
tinue in years to come, the
District needs all per sons
who are eligible to par-
ticipate. Anyone buying
their land since 1950
might be eligible to claim
water depletion.
Those who are eligible

future tdx requirements.
Expansion of the foun-
dation school program
and teacher pay raises
voted last year will in-
crease state expenditures
for public elementary and
secondary education by
$345 million In the
current bier\nium and will
produce a'n additional 50
per cent increase in total
state costs duringthenext
six years.
Cumulative total
increase in state aid for
a six-year period Is cal-
culated at $1.6 billion in
new state funds. Higher
salaries account for 65
per cent of this.
Research League pre-
dicts that Ine legislature
will have to raise $298
million in new funds for
public schools next year,
$270 million more In 1973
and $186 million more in
1975.
can receive depletion data
by depositing $125.00 In
the Water Depletion Ac-
counts in the Citizen’s
National Bank in Cros-
byton or the Security
State Bank and Trust
Company in Ralls. They
will receive enough In-
formation to claim water
depletion for 1966, 1967,
1968 and 1969. They should
deposit their money Im-
mediately if they plan,to
claim water depletion on
the 1969 tax return. Any-
one making a deposit can
expect to receive his da-
ta in three or four days.
If he has already filed
his tax return, he canu3e
the data provided to file
an amended return.
If Interest warrants,
the District will provide
this service each follow-
ing year for hot more than
$25.00 per member. If at
any time interest drops to
a point that the District
cannot afford to provide
this service, then it will
be discontinued.
The Rio Blanco SWCD
can provide this data to
landowners not in the High
P lains UndergroundWater
District. Those in th at
District, will be provided
this service.

Do you need a new
cotton herbicide?
Mr. and Mrs.' W. B.
Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt
McClure, Mrs. Anthony
Latta, Mrs. Sam Grizzle
and Mrs. BUI Adams at-
tended the Pastor’s and
Layman’s Conference
held in Plainview thls
week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wood
and Mrs. Herman Reed
visited in Slation and at-
tended funeral services
for Clyde Haire lastweek.
He was a cousin of Mrs.
Reed.
Were you disappointed by the way
your pre-plant herbicide worked the last
couple of seasons?
Have new weeds been cropping up
in your cotton? Carelessweed, annual
morningglory or cottonweed ?
Would you like to save the cost of
spraying solid, and just be able to band a
herbicide right behind the planter?
And would you like a chemical that
did away with the expense of incorpora-
tion?
And moreover, would you like to
"i
,
rotate to sorghum or follow with cotton.
Any “yes” answer is reason enough
to check out Caparol®, the pre-emergence
cotton herbicide you can band right be-
hind the planter. The cotton herbicide
that controls problem weeds like careless-
weed, annual morningglory and cotton-
weed. Without incorporation.
Check it out for yourself. Try
Caparol. This one won’t disappoint you.
