Texas Field Fares NE Regulation Sparks Texas Oil Debate
Austin May 1 The return of Governor Ferguson to the Texas Legislature triggers a new oil regulation dispute.

Major producers and independents react with price shifts and a brief pro ration movement. The governor accuses the commission of ill advised action and calls for price restoration and tighter control.

Refinancing must occur within two years and extends the 4.12 percent interest sale to farmers with federal land bank mortgages. The land banks hold over 31 billion dollars in mortgages, about 12 percent of the national total.
