Farmers may find it just as difficult to obtain fertilizers and
fuel during the coming year, according to Dr. Michael Sprott,
economist in management with the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
The tight supply-demand balance of certain nitrogen and
phosphate fertilizers is the result of several factors. First is the
release of 62 million acres that were set-aside in 1972.
Another important influence is the strong foreign demand for
fertilizer, making export prices much higher than domestic
ceiling prices.
Devaluation of the dollar has further aggravated the situation,
continues Sprott. Like other items in world trade, fertilizer prices
currently may be discounted by as much as 20 per cent where the
price is quoted in dollars but payment is made in currencies
whose values have risen in relation to the dollar.
The shortage of phosphate fertilizers should soon be eased by
expansion of phosphoric acid production, but the outlook of
nitrogen fertilizers is far less promising. The supply of ammonia,
the source of most nitrogen fertilizers, depends on the
availability of natural gas, its feedstock. With each natural gas
curtailment faced by the ammonia producers meaning reduced
production, the supply of nitrogen fertilizers could fall one
million tons short of world demand in 1973-74, says the Texas
A&M University System economist.
Farmers experienced a tight fuel situation during spring
planting this year and expect a similar situation this fall.
Although the diesel supply for fall appears adequate, gasoline
stocks are low, notes Sprott.
For next spring, the gasoline and diesel situations appear
mildly optimistic. Although farmers will be permitted to plant
more acres, more fuel is being imported and allocated to
distributors servicing farm accounts.
The big fuel concern is over the short supply of LP gas, says
Sprott. A cold, wet fall and a harsh, early winter could keep
C00mmunity
alendar
farmers from obtaining enough propane for crop drying.
The Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, aided by energy staffs in many states, is
emphasizing farmers' fuel needs to the Department of Interior,
where the nation's petroleum fuel policies are made. The policy
makers understand the peculiar seasonal needs of farmers and
are committed to providing them with sufficient fuel in a timely
manner to prevent crop losses, notes Sprott.

The bank and post office were closed in Hedley Monday. The
Hedley Post of the American Legion and most of the town folks
prefer to observe the traditional November 11 Veterans Day. The
Hedley American Legion Post will hold open house all day
Monday, November 12, and will decorate the Veteran's graves at
the R0we-Hedley Cemetery both Sunday and Monday, Nov.
11-12.
The ten festival queen candidates turned in $3,986.84 to the
festival.
The festival cake walks netted $176.66 to the Rowe-Hedley
Cemetery fund. Mrs. Mabel Bridges was in charge of this event.
The Hedley Lions Club are having a ladies night banquet this
Thursday night, October 25. Mrs. Kate Stone and Mrs. J. M.

AUSTIN - Texas banks are providing farmers and
with more credit and other financial services than any
lenders, C. Trnett Smith of Wylie, president of the
Bankers Association, said this week.
Based on the 32nd annual farm lending summary
agricultural bankers division of the American
Association, T.B.A. President Smith reported that at
beginning of 1973 .Texas banks were helping farmers
ranchers with $1.509 billion in loans, or 25 per cent
year previous. This total included $1.226 billion in
loans and $283 million in farm mortgages. At the same time
million in farm loans was held by life insurance companies,
million by Federal Land Banks, $461 million by
Credit Associations and $62 million in non-real estate loanS, ]
$11 million in real estate loans by the Farmers
Administration.
About 70 per cent of the production credit extended
institutions to Texas farmers and ranchers comes from
Smith said that "bankers in Texas are conscmus of the
capital investments rec
a concerted effort through improved lending programs to
these changing credit demands of the state's
ranchers."
The Inereaeed use of credit by agricultural interests,
said, has been accompanied by a substantial gainin total
of farm and ranch families. Therefore, in the
equity position of farmers and ranchers is being
satisfactory level. Nationally, farm families have $311
their own funds invested in agriculture. This represents
cent of their total capital requirements.
The TBA president stressed the importance of farmers
bankers working closely together to improve farm
arrangements. He reported that almost nine out of 10
banks throughout the country have agricultural
outstanding, with 87 per cent of the Texas banks
credit to farm and ranch people.
