Tomato Breeding;
Fertilizing Work
Being Carried On
Tomqto breeding and fertilizing
are two large projects in progress
at this time in various parts of
Texas, Dr. G. W. Adriance, Head
of the. Horticulture Department,
has reported. Adriance added that
these projects are- to increase to
mato production, especially in. the
fall production.
Six horticulture laboratories and
substations and two plant disease
laboratories, other than those at
this college, are working on breed
ing tohftatoes, trying to develop an
early maturing variety which will
resist wilt, blight and other dis
eases, Adriance pointed out.
He said that tomatos which rip
en in December go through weath
er conditions in! reverse order; that
is, from hot to cold seasons. Con
sequently this makes it more dif
ficult .to produce fall tomatoes. It
also makes maturity a prerequisite
of a good variety for fall produc
tion.
The fall tomato plan is working
in the Rio Grande Valley now and
will be expanded soon.
Projects v !o determine the most
ideal fertilizer are now in progress
also, Adriance said. These projects
will answer questions as to type,
amount and time to fertilize toma
toes. >
Substations in the Rio Grande
Valley, Jacksonville, Yoakum and
other places have fertilizer work
ing plans for their area, and Jack
sonville has already completed one
working plan and the Work is now
being assimilated.
Houses, rooms, rfpai-tmenp, and
' kitchen privilegtesi in homes for
. rent are needea,; Harry i Boyer,
chief , of the haus ng office, an
nounced today. ( - r .
“We are receiviini; many requests
for such, housing laciltie^,’* Boyer
.says, “and by liil tog tl efn with
us immediately, wr will ty? (able to

Because most sheep now being
aised in Texas produce fine wool
nly 2 or 3 inches iii length, as
ompared to 6 or 9 inches from
ther breeds, the geneticists at
luebonnet will seek to breed ani-
nals, adapted to , the climate,
irhich have fine wool averaging 4
ches or more, Warwick said. Ex-
ieriments have already been made
grossing Rambouillet ewes with
iommey rams, and the work. will
e carried forward at Bluebonnet
y breeding the cross-breed rams

Another experiment seeks to

an attempt by crossing Ram

lon sheep, to produce short-tailed

The Bryan Area Rent Office,
headed by Director Benningfield,
now is fully equipped with instruc
tions and supplies for helping land
lords who want to take advantage
of the Washington-announced short
form petition (D-58B) for increas
ing rents on hardship grounds.
The simplified appearance of the
new shorj, form has misled some
landlords who might be better
served by the previous hardship
petition form, Benningfield warn
ed.
The new short form may be used
by a landlord only if every one
of six conditions apply the rent
director said. The six conditions
are: .
1. If four or fewer rental dwel
ling units are owned.
2. If the petition is based only on
increased costs for taxes, fuel,
utilities, and insurance.
3. If the services, furnishings,
furniture, and equipment provided
are not substantially less than
those provided on the maximum
rent date, except where there has
been 3 reduction in the maximum
rent by the Area Rent Office for
a decrease in such -items.
5. If there are no seasonal or
other varying rents for the build
ing.
6. If there is no income from the
operation of the building other
than rents} paid by the tenants.
“If a landlord's case does not
meet all of these six conditiops, he
is advised to use the previous hard
ship petition form,” ’Benningfield
said.
Any landlord who has experien
ced a decrease in net income fof
the last current year due to an
increase in cost of services sup
plied of taxes may obtain the ap
plication forms by calling at the
Area Rent Office, Howell Build-
sjng pr by phoning 2-1207.
