] River County for October is Gar-

!honor w„s announced by the ag-

j her of Commerce, based upon his
j accomplishments*tn recent years
A very neat, well kept farm,
! home, just 1>6 miles from Clarks
j ville on the Madras road, is the
[home of Mr. and Mrs. Garland
Hines. Farmers chosen for this
honor are not only outstanding
farmers, but have been chosen
when tl.-eir farms are considered
family type. And a family farm
is just what the Hines have.
Mr and Mrs. Hines are the par-
ents of eight children, three of
whom are still at home. Krnest

and Mrs. Hines are also the proud
grandparents of seven grandchil-
dren.
Their farm was purchased in'
1948 The pasture farm which
they purchased consisted of almost
222 acres of* bois d’arc and brush
The only clear land in their 222
acres was a 6-acre field that was
used /or crops by the previous
owner
The first year, they cleared 110
acres to be used for crops and
improved pastures They paid for
this work by selling bois d’arc
posts, which paid not only for the
labor of clearing the land, but alao
(be equipment which was needed.
The following year, they killed
the grass on the 110 acres by plow-
ing and then re-plowing In June
Mr. Hines says that was the first

iu could kill grass by plowing In
June*

and sorghum grain too His corn

measured usually average 65 to 70
bushels per acre. He has worked
with the county agent In testing
new varieties of grain crops for
this area.
The Hines have a complete soli
conservation plan on their farm-
They have had this plan since they
started in 1948. All his crop land
Is terraced. He has numerous
ponds on the farm which he has
had stocked with fish, which not
only provide food for the table,
but many hours of recreation for
his family and friends.

farm, rather than sell it. He has

To render more effective service
to the surrounding communities,
the Fieldmen's Association in 1948
divided into five geographically lo-
cated divisions or clubs over the
state. The different field clubs are
headquartered respectively in Cor-
pus Christi. Dallas, Houston, Lub-
bock and San Antonio
One of their chief functions which
they render as a public service

Local firemen and hey scouts
accompany the fieldmen in their
search for hazards which are
marked with red "fix me" tags
Building owners are then left with
special booklets on fire prevention
recommendations and how to make
their property fire sale
Code numbers on the "fix rue"
tags correspond to the recommen-
dations. in the booklet. so the
property owner or tenant will know
wltRt action to take to correct the
hagard. For example, if "2 -B"
were marked on the tag, the owner
would look under this letter in
the booklet and find the following
recommendation in regattl to a
safe air conditioning and ventilat-
ing system:
“Clearance from metal ducts to
stored combustible material should
not be less than 6 inches, and to
combustible construction including
plaster or wood lath, it should
not be less than "inch."
Although these tags are only
friendly reminders that danger ex-
ists. building owners and tenants
generally give them special atten-
tion.
C. H. Butt president of the North
Tgxas Division of the Fieldmen's
Association, explains that the per-
centage of follow-ups on the field-
men’s recommendations are usu-
ally very good because the tenants
and owners realize that it is to
their advantage to follow up sug-
gestions.
The North Texas Division has
inspected a total of 22 communities
