By 1921, we had brought electricity to 6,926 farm and rural families. This number has almost doubled every ten years since, as we consistently added more and more lines, reaching a greater ruimber of farm families each year.

Now, approximately 7,000 miles of rural lines alone serve more than 68,000 farm and rural customers. More than thirty years of research, development and experience have shown our engineers the most economical way'to extend these rural lines. As a result, we have been able to provide dependable, low-cost rural electric service to farms and rural homes throughout the 52-county area served. The Company also supplies electric power at wholesale to 21 REA Distribution, Cooperatives which in turn serve many thousands of additional rutal and farm homes. The rate at which this Company supplies service to these Cooperatives is one of lowest in the nation, and is lower than that of the Tennessee Valley Authority to Cooperatives in its area.

A continuous rural expansion program is being carried Out ic North, and Central Texas by Texas Power Light Company, and 1947 plans call for the con. struction of 1,000 miles of new rural lines to serve approximately 9,000 new (omen living on farms and in rural communities. Weeds arid brush are gangsters in the grass, They literally steal your cattle and sheep by reducing the carrying capacity of grazing land or pastures. They rob your soil of moisture and minerals. They choke the life out of your grass.

Mesquite and sagebrush in Western range country are often thieving plants. They're tough and aggressive. The carrying capacity of a hundred million acres of good grazing land has been greatly reduced by these two alone. Weeds and brush can be burned or poisoned, grubbed out with bulldozers or yanked out with tractors and cables. Grass thrives again when the brush is gone.

Then, cattle or sheep production can be increased, iimes as mucb as 300 From farming states come reports of doubled beef production per acre of pasture simply by mowing weeds, in dairying sections startling improvements in production, flavor, and milk and cream profits have resulted from cutting pasture weeds two or three times a season.

Once weeds are under control, pastures benefit by liming, fertilizing, reseeding with recommended pasture mixtures, by harrowing or discing to break up manure. Few crops give as great return for a little attention as does grass.

A good starting point in an improved grass program is to take steps to controi weeds and brush. both you and interested in making the best use of what we have. It has been said that "a penny saved is a penny earned." There are many dollars to be saved by making the most efficient use of grass lands. We suggest that you contact your state agricultural college, county agent, or vocational agricultural teacher for further information.

TEXAS POWER LIGHT COMPANY SULPHUR CUTS LAMB LOSSES Report of a Colorado A Experiment Good news for lamb feedcrn carries from Colorado A M.

In an experiment with 2,000 lambs, they found thiit'dcath lotwea from "overeating" cnn he greatly reduced by merely adding aulphur to the grain mixture being fed. "Overeating," or enterotoxcmia, as it is technically called, is a major cause of death among fattening It causes the nlTectetl animals to ntjffen at I he- joints nnd to hold their heads in high, unnatural position. They fitop eating, with usually fatal results. Losses often run as high as in a band and sometimes higher. The 2,000 Inmbs in tho Colorado experiment were divided into four equal lots.

Kach lot was fed the name grain mixture and alfalfa hay. However, the Inmhs in lot. number 2, which was eelf-fed, and lot number 3, which hand-fed, got aulphur in their grain mixture. The death loss in the self-fed lot not Rotting aulphur WHH 9.6%, or almrut 10 lambs in ench 100 fed. In the lot getting sulphur, the death loss was 1.8%, or less than two lamhs in each 100.

fed. In the hand-fed lot getting no. sulphur, the death loss was 6.6%, while in the sulphur-fed lot, only of the lamln died. The sulphur-fed lambs consumed grain nnd therefore did make slightly smaller gains. But death losses in the'tulphur-fed Inmhti were greatly reduced that con- larger were realized, Price balances supply and demand There is always a demand for meat.

Yes, of- some price. But that price is not determined by the meat's coat, or set by the meat packer. It is set by what the consumers are willing and able to pay for the meat and by-products. That is something which must be known and remembered if one is to understand the meat business. A good many people think that the meat packers sell meat for the cost of the livestock, plus expense, plus a profit.

But that is not how meat prices are made. We must our it is perishable. We hope, of course, to sell it at a price which gives us a profit. But profit or loss, we must sell it. As our president, John Holmes, said recently, "We seek the price that balances supply and demand.

Sometimes this is a profitable price; sometimes there is a loss. The records show that, on the average, we make a modest profit year by year." As for prices paid for livestock, they, too, are set by the forces of supply and demand. No meat packer could control them because there is so much competition both in buying and selling. There are over 4,000 meat packers and 20,000 commercial slaughterers competing daily for live animals. A Sf'mt ten, Agricultural Hewarch Department PRODUCERS BENEFIT FROM QUALITY CONTROL Quality Control protects the buyer of Swift products.

11 also serves the fa rme r. For it insists that liis products be processed into the best possible consumer products. "When Mr. or Mrs. America buys a Swift product, they expect top quality," says H.

S. Mitchell, director of our Research Laboratories. "They also depend on it to be just as good as the last time they bought, it. That's why they keep coming back for Swift products. They have every right to expect uniform high quality.

And it's the job of the quality control system to make sure that thoy get il." Quality Control begins with the livestock and other "raw materials" selected by Swift buyers. Next, it lays down exact written specifications for the control of each in processing of many products. Finally, it sets up strict quality standards for the finished products. pur Research laboratories are in twenty-one cities. More than 1,000,000 exacting tests are marie each year in our Quality Control program.

Each test takes time and work. But constant testing is the only way we can be certain that the quality of Swift product-? is uniformly high. This constant Quality Control not only builds confidence in Swift products, but it also helps create a steady, dependable market for the livestock and other raw materials we purchase from producers. A permanently successful business must be grounded on tlic solid foundation of uniform quality. Things are NOT always as they seem Which weighs more? The cubic foot block of iron, or those four big rolls of 26' fencc wire? Tne wire 'ooks mueh heavier, but it isn't.

They weigh the pounds each. No, things are not always ns they seem. Take that fencc wire, for example. The fence maker paid perhaps a pound for the iron. You buy it as fencing at around 7fi a pound.

That leaves a "spread" of 5( a pound between the raw material and the finished product. This "spread" covers heat treating, drawing the wire, weaving it, rolling, and other processes we may not know about. It includes also manufacturer's profit, transportation, jobbers' and retailers' costs and profits, and delivery to you. There is also a "spread" between what you producers get for livestock and what you pay the meat dealer for meat. For one thing, ah average 1000-pound steer produces only 543 pounds of meat and 161 pounds of by-products, both edible and inedible.

In processing there is unrecoverable shrink and waste of 296 pounds. We also have the costs of "disassembling" live animals into meat, refrigeratinc, transporting to market, nnd delivery to retail stores. The "spread" covers also retailers' costs and profits plus a profit for the meat packer which averages only a small fraction of a cent per pound of product handled.
