Texas beef grades shift as war limits meat supply
A Fort Worth report says pasture fattened beeves rarely reach high grades under USDA standards. Feeders use drylots in cooler months to reduce fire and heat stress. Ceiling prices on corn fed loin curb profitability for Texas packers. Dallas News notes a grain beef shortage soon, with independent packers blaming lack of live stock ceilings. Two young boys in Seattle raise funds by selling their pony Pat to buy war bonds.

Amarillo ISD budget hearing set for 8 tonight
The Amarillo Independent School District and Amarillo College public budget hearing for 1942 43 will be at 8 in the high school auditorium. The proposal adds about 65000 to last year’s budget funded by nearly 2 million in new property valuations. A 36000 rise in teacher salaries includes a 25000 bonus for returning staff, paid as an 8 monthly increment to offset living costs. Insurance costs appear higher due to expiring three year policies renewing this year, though overall costs may be lower than annual polices. The exigency fund rises amid wartime uncertainty, and the hearing is required by law for board adoption. Taxpayers may attend to discuss or protest any item.

Beef supply tight in Texas as feeders limit fattening
Fort Worth Live stock Market packers report a shortage of finished first grade beef in Texas. They attribute the limited supply to lighter feeding during hot months, with most cattle remaining pasture fattened rather than reaching finished weight. The Associated Press notes this seasonal effect reduces available prime carcass supplies in the state.
