Agriculture Outlook Mixed
For Remainder of 1960
The outlook for agriculture for
the remainder of 1960 is both
bright and dark, according to John
McHaney, economist with the Tex
as Agricultural Extension Service.
Speaking at the State Assn, of
Young Farmers of Texas Field
Day held Monday at the college,
McHaney said demand should be
firm during the year because con
sumer income will stay high, state
and local governments will con
tinue to spend more money and
overall economic activity will re
main strong, although there are
signs of it weakening faster than
expected.
He also said federal government
expenditures are expected* to be
high and the continuing population
growth will aid in strengthening
market demand.
Negative Side
On the negative side, McHaney
said a high percentage of American
consumers are in debt, and some
industries are cutting production.
He also predicted that there will
be a further slight drop in prices
to farmers, a slight rise in pro
duction and marketing costs and
an overall decline in farmers’ net
realized income.
The Young Farmers field day is
held each year to bring its mem
bers up on the latest developments
and problems in agriculture. It is
sponsored by the Department of
Agricultural Education in co-oper
ation with the School of Agricul
ture.
Dr. J. R. Jackson, associate ad
visor to the organization and as
sociate professor in the Depart
ment of Agricultural Education,
said the Young Farmers are a
group of men under 35 years of
age who are becoming established
in farming and ranching. There
are about 2,000 members in char-

Anachronism?
Not really. ’Cause if Coke had been

have treated himself to the sparkling

Coke too—the prime favorite in over

tered chapters who work closely
with their local vocational agricul
ture teachers.
No Major Changes
McHaney said there probably
will not be any major changes in
the nation’s agriculture as long as
the international situation remains
the same.
He said the total agricultural
output probably will be large in
1960 and exports are expected to
be in good volume. Cotton and rice
exports likely will be higher than
they were during the marketing
period of 1958-59.
The economist told the group
that the sharp rise in land prices,
so evident in the past five years,
may be approaching an end.
Pesticides Discussed
Another program speaker, Dr.
J. C. Gaines, head of the Depart
ment of Entomology, discussed the
Miller Pesticide Bill of 1954, which
established how much residual dust
or spray can safely remain on
farm crops for human or livestock
consumption.
He said literature on pesticide
tolerances is available in county
agent offices, or at the Agricul
tural Information Office at Col
lege Station.
Dr. Wayne Hall, head of the De
partment of Plant Physiology and
Pathology, cautioned the Young
Farmers not to use any crop pesti
cide or herbicide chemical that has
not been cleared by law. Approved
chemicals should be applied strict
ly according to instructions.
He urged the group to be es
pecially careful about the time of
pesticide and herbicide application
in relation to the time the crop is
to be harvested.
Cattle Breeding
Dr. Murray Bi-own, assistant pro
fessor in the Department of Dairy
Science, said the day is coming
when dairy cattle will be bred for
high non-fat milk solids produc
tion in response to growing con
sumer demand for high protein
foods.
He said research has already
shown that protein content in milk
is hereditary to a large extent.
And one of'the first steps in fu
ture work is to find good tests
for protein and then discover how
it varies from animal to animal.
Next will come application of al
ready-known breeding methods to
obtain dairy animals with high
milk protein production rates.
The dairy scientist said definite
differences are being found in the
ability of bulls to transmit the pro
tein trait.
“Someday, milk may be market
ed on the basis of protein content
and volume instead of the present
system of butterfat content and
volume,” Dr. Brown said.
Gordon Koonce of Wharton,
Young Farmer state president,
presided over the session.

will visit Texas A&M Monday and

“An invitation is extended to all
engineering students, graduate
students and faculty members to
see the Steelmobile,” announced
George E. Shafer, formerly vice
president of engineering for Armco'
Drainage and Metal Products, Inc.
Shafer will deliver illustrated lec
tures on selected subjects to en
gineering classes.
Sponsored by Armco Drainage
and Metal Products, Inc., the
Steelmobile contains full-scaie ex
hibits of highway and municipal
products.
On display inside the Steelmo
bile is graphic demonstration of
the design of flexible-metal struc
tures. While the major emphasis
is on corrugathed metal pipe, other
products included are Smoothflo
Sewer Pipe, water pipe, tunnel
liner plates, water control gates,
highway guardrail, foundation pil
ing, retaining walls and steel
buildings.
Tours through the Steelmobile
will be conducted by Chris Bentz,
a recent engineering graduate
from Tri State College and driver
of the vehicle.
The exhibit cost more than $50,-
000 and took nine months to build.
