IMMITT (AP) — Winter
at in West Texas has been
arched that the plants’
i came up as cattle grazed
he top tufts.
o Roland Stevens watered
fields. And watered. And wa-
d some more — almost 11
es of irrigation, so far, to
the crop viable,
fter 34 years of raising
at, the Castro County
aer assembles a simple de-
ption of this season: “One of
driest, seems to me.”
nless it rains in the next few
^ks, agriculture experts say,
ght could claim much of the
,e’s 6.2 million wheat acres
the second straight year.
•When it starts warming up,
hould be growth time,” said
Enginet
of the sec
ut this
will be hei:
There wi
Bill Nelson, executive vice presi
dent of the Texas Wheat Produc
ers Association in Amarillo. “If
you don’t have any moisture, it’s
going to wilt.”
Across the Texas High
Plains, where wheat has a cash
value of $186 million, fields
haven’t received the snows and
showers that usually replenish
the soil moisture.
Non-irrigated wheat that
was planted in the fall came up
so sparse and wimpy that dry
land farmers couldn’t let their
cattle graze it.
Nelson said farmers lost as
much as one-third of their in
come by not being able to turn
cattle on their wheat. Some
farmers have taken second
jobs, he said.
Lawmakers split on
whether Texas can
meet national average
AUSTIN (AP) — A state
lawmaker on Monday proposed
an estimated $1.24 billion pay
raise for Texas teachers over
the next two years to lift their
salaries closer to the
national average.
Under the bill by Rep.
Christine Hernandez, the state
would pay $742 million and lo
cal school districts the remain
der of the iticrease for Texas’
265,000 educators.
“Teachers deserve a raise.
Let’s do it this session,” said
Ms. Hernandez, D-San Anto
nio. She said her goal is for
Texas teachers’ pay to be at the
national average in four years.
Texas ranks 35th nationally,
with an average of $30,519 for
a 10-month contract. The na
tional average is $35,958.
Legislative leaders said state
government can’t afford its share
of Ms. Hernandez’s proposal,
which would give teachers raises
of $500 to $6,000 and require fu
ture increases as education
spending rises.
“I’m for a teacher pay raise
... but finding $800 million for
any project right now, we sim
ply don’t have” the money, said
Rep. Robert Junell, D-San An
gelo. He is chairman of the
budget-writing House Appro
priations Committee.
Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, who
heads the Senate, said, “I
don’t think anybody has been
more sympathetic to teachers
than I have and the Texas
senators have. By the same to
ken, at this time I don’t know
where $800 million would
come from.”
WHAT INSPIRED THE MOUNTAIN MEN?
rganiL: teorqe Washington:
hereas it is the duty of all nations
acknowledge the providence of
Imighty God, to obey His will, to be
;s: it grateful for His benefits, and humbly
So implore His protection and favor.”
braham Lincoln:
ntelligence, Patriotism, Christianity,
nd a firm reliance on Him who has
ever yet forsaken this favored land
re still competent to adjust in the
est way all our present difficulty.
As was said three thousand years
ago, so still it must be said, ‘the
judgments of the Lord are true and
ighteous altogether’”

Thomas Jefferson:
“God who gave us life gave us liberty.
Can the liberties of a nation be secure
when we have removed a conviction
that these liberties are the gift of God?
Indeed I tremble for my country when I
reflect that God is just, that His justice
cannot sleep forever.”
Teddy Roosevelt:
“There are those who believe that a
new modernity demands a new
morality. What they fail to consider is
the harsh reality that there is no such
thing as a new morality. There is only
one morality. All else is immorality.
There is only true Christian ethics over
against which stands the whole of
paganism. If we are to fulfill our great
destiny as people, then we must return
to the old morality, the sole morality.”
