Dr. Maurice C. Futrell, assist ant professor in the Department of Plant Physiology and Pathology, said the variety, known as Good- field, is adapted for growth in northern Mexico. The plant scientist, accompanied by Lucas Reyes of the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station at Beeville, has been visiting and re cording data at rust nurseries near Monterrey and Saltillo for the 1959-60 Mexico oat testing pro gram. Futrell said the growing of a rust-resistant variety of oats, such as Goodfield, in Mexico would pre vent the disease from overwinter ing in that country and then blow ing into Texas. This would reduce losses from rust for Texas grow ers and farmers in other states to the north. Dr. Samuel Johnson, author of “Dictionary of the English Lan guage,” published in 1755, wrote that “ther true are of memory is the art of attention.” State Farm Saved Texans Money W® aim to insure careful drivers only.
