THE BATTALION
Texas Poultry Production
Falls Behind Other States
Texas is falling behind other
states in poultry output, a trend
that will continue if it does not be
come more competitive at all lev
els of production and marketing,
according to John McHaney, econ
omist with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
Speaking at the 24th annual
Poultry Short Course which closes
today, McHaney cited figures
which showed that turkey produc
tion in Texas since the period 1945-
57 has decreased about 1 per cent,
while output in the other nine
leading states has jumped tremen
dously.
During this same period, com-
merical chicken egg production in
Texas sagged 25 per cent, whereas
some of the other leading states
have registered gains of anywhere
from 15 per cent to 109 per cent.
He said that for the same period,
Texas commercial broiler produc
tion increased 796 per cent but
there were other leading states
that experienced uptrends of 961
to 3,471 per cent.

Call Long Distance
after 6 P.M. and
When you call long distance after 6 P.M. or on Sundays, you avoid
the daytime rush of urgent business calls, and you
save money at the same time. During these
night-time hours, you actually can make calls for even less !
than the reasonable daytime rates. So be sure and save
by placing all your long distance calls
after 6 P.M. or all. day Sunday.],

Dallas, Houston
Face Sports Tests
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Dallas and Houston are known
as great sport centers. At least
they claim it and have records to
back it up, especially Houston. It
seems just about anything will
draw a crowd in the bayou city,
even boxing.
But next fall these so-called gar
den spots of sports will get the
real test. Dallas will have 20
college and professional football
games in the Cotton Bowl in a 4-
month period. Houston will have
18.
There are definite bounds es
tablished. Dallas, with two pro
teams—the Dallas Texans of the
new American Football League
and the Dallas Cowboys of the
NFL—needs to draw 28,000 and
40.000 respectively for the clubs
to pay expenses. Then there is
Southern Methodist, which needs
at least 30,000 per game to make
it.
Some weeks all three will be
playing in the Cotton Bowl. Take
that period Oct. 9 to Oct. 16: The
Texans play Oakland Sunday, Oct.
9; Southern Methodist battles Rice
Oct. 15, Saturday, and the Cow
boys play Cleveland Oct. 16, Sun
day. The following week finds
the two pro clubs and SMU doing
the same. But here’s the biggest
schedule: Sept 24—Cowboys vs.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 25—Texans vs.
Los Angeles, Sept. 30—Cowboys
vs. Philadelphia. That’s three
games in seven days. So Dallas
will be expected to have at least
98.000 fans for three games in a
week.
Houston isn’t as hard pressed
club—the Oilers of the AFL—and
two colleges, Rice and Houston
Two games in a single week will
be the maximum. The Oilers will
need to draw 30,000 on an average.
Rice always considers that day
lost when it fals to get 50,000.
Houston needs about 30,000 at
least. Thus the city can get by
with not more than 80,000 in a
week. But there will be five times
during the season when that many
will be needed.
Houze Makes List
