Time to pay tribute
to agriculture industry
November--a month steeped in tradition, a time of
harvesting, a time for thanksgivingl And what better time than
to pay tribute to the great agricultural industry in Texas for the
high quality food and fiber products that are available to
consumers.
That's why November has been designated as "Food and
Fiber Appreciation Month," points out Dr. William Vastine,
economist in marketing and food distribution for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
"Farmers and ranchers and those engaged in processing and
distributing food and fiber products deserve a great deal of credit
for the everyday miracle of feeding and clothing the people of
this state and nation," contends Vast,he. "And, with Texas
being a leading state in exporting agricuRural products, we are
now providing food and fiber for many other countries as well."
According to the Texas A&M University System specialist,
consumers in the United States spent more than $125 billion for
food in 1972, making food retailing the nation's largest retail
industry. In Texas the amount totaled about $6.4 billion.
Vast,he attributes this continued growth in the food industry to
increased per capita disposable income for a growing population
and the increased demand for services associated with food.
Unemployment is down and with more than 40 per cent of all
wives now working, eating out and convenience foods are also
adding to the boon in the food industry.
"With present-day technology and expertise, agricultural
producers now account for only about five per cent of the nation's
population. Yet, they do an effÉcient job; in fact, they produce
enough food and fiber for themselves and more than 50 other
people," notes the economist.
"Yet, as more and more generations /of families become
further removed from farm and ranch life, agricultural producers
are sometimes forgotten and their role in our society and
economy is overshadowed by other 'more contemporary' events
and happenings.
"But they along with the people engaged in the overall
agribusiness industry continue to be the backbone of this
country, providing waht is so often taken for granted--high
quality food and fiber products," Vastine points out.

CAMPAIGN COMM1TrEE at the district FrA meeting included Liz Bmmley, Karen
Burgess, Shirley Wise, Mona Robinson, Ralph MeGarity, Roy Monroe, Mark Booths and
Mac Thornberry.
State Representative Phil Cotes told a Baylor University
audience that "Rural Texas will want a State Constitution that
will allow us to meet today's challenges/'
Rep. Cates discussed the "Role of the House of
Representatives in Constitutional Revision" and "The Expected
Reception of the New Constitution in Rural Texas" this week at
Baylor University in Waco.
"The problems of our small towns and rural areas are not the
same as Dallas or Houston, but are tied to each other. The New
Constitution for Texas will cover both rural and urban Texas. It
would allow each area the flexibility to meet the needs faced by
each."
"Rural Texans will not accept just any new constitution." Rep.
Cotes said, "We will demand that the new constitution be a clear
improvement over the present Constitution. We will not forfeit
the control of the ballot box over our elected officials."
"With the view of the debt of our Federal Government, the
"pay as you go" policy is as guarded as any provision found in
the present Constitution," Rep. Cotes stated• "Taxes will always
be viewed with a jaundice eye. A living is earned with hard work,
and will only be given to the tax-collector when certain of the
need. Taxes must be fairly and equally assessed. Those who
make their living from their land should not be taxed for what it
might be used for in later days."
"While understanding the need for mass transit in Houston,
rural Texans still need good farm-to-market roads and good
highways to move their products and travel from'town to town."
CANDIDATES FOR offlee at the district FTA meeting included PARTICIPATING in the skit at the district FTA meeting were
Mona Robinson and Mac Thornberry. Mona won her post, and Shauna Hardin, Terry Saye, Cindy Price, Tracy Cagle, Jan
Mac ran unsuccessfully for state office. Barbee, Mona Robinson and Kim Newhouse.

children that will Help those children meet the needs of the
society they will live in," Rep. Cotes inserted.
"The role of the House of Representatives, as such, is almost
finished in the task of Constitutional Revision," Rep. Cates
noted• "For on January 8th the House of Representatives and
the Texas Senate will meet as one body-as members of the 1974
Constitutional Convention of Texas," Rep. Cates continued,
pointing out that the voters of Texas had issued a call for a
convention with a.resounding 500,000 plus majority in November
of 1972. ' ....
"The Revision Commission has been the hardest working
commission I have ever witnessed. Their public hearings, study,
research, and recommendations will be worth more than we will
ever know in completing the revision process• The public interest
they have spawned and the public education they have created
may be one of the most important keys in the Convention's
understanding what the public wants and the public
understanding what the convention finally passes."
"As the convention delegates, we will be working as one body,
not two, we will be constitutional convention, not a legislature.
There is a difference-and that difference is this-a Legislature sets
laws that govern people and their everyday lives. The
Convention will spell out the authority that the people of Texas
are willing to give to their elected officials. And, it will be the
"New Constitution for Texas" that will be setting up the
framework of state and local government, hopefully for the next
century. And, that is the challenge we all face in January, 1974."
