Report of State
BY YMO BROOKS

AUSTIN. March lETendency OF
farm operators this year to do more
Of their own work In order to pro-
duce crops at the least expense was
cited In the March l crop report
for Texas, issued by Carl H. Rob-
inson. senior agricultural statisti-

of agriculture for Texas.
The ratio Of supply OF farm lab
or to demand was l26 per cent, all
increase C. u per cent over last
year. and 50 per cent for 1924. This
increased ratio was given by the re-
port as an index OF the trend Of
farmers toward working their own
crops.
Land Declines
The report recited that land val
ues declined in most sections Of
Texas from last years figures. with
a few favored localities showing an
increased value. The northwestern
district showed the least decline In
values. Demand for land was de-
clared slow, with few sales report
ed.

sown oats was killed by the unus-
