GOOD RAINS this month
have, for the time being,
ended what looked like a se-
vere dry spell would envelop
our part of the state. Since
May 1, my official rainfall
recordings total 3.87 inches.
Prior to May 1, the rainfall
for the first four months
amounted to only 5.70
inches; total to date this
year is 9.57 inches which is
1.51 inches over and above
average rainfall for the first
five months of a year, Jan-
uary thru May, this being
9.57 inches. Average rainfall
for May is 3.32 inches.
Consequently, we are 0.55 of
an inch (a little more than
half an inch) over the aver-
age for the month of May
and we still have ten days to
go, as of Tuesday.
—Range & Field—
MOST SECTIONS of
Gillespie County are now in
good shape, as far as the
rains or moisture in the
ground is concerned. Many
of the stock ponds are again
full, or have been replen-
ished. Some of the heavier
rains last Thursday were,
apparently, in the western
and southwestern part of the
county. Harold Henke, Wolf
Creek community 14 miles
S.W. of Fredericksburg, had
from three to five inches;
Robert Fritz, at Petersburg,
reported 3 to 3¥2 inches; his
neighbor, Francis Jung who
is here for a few months at
their place nearby, reported
4 to 5 inches; Billie Roeder
at White Oak, a few miles
further west, reported ex-
cellent rains of up to 3M>
inches. Up at Harper, Frank
Staudt recorded 2.75 inches
of rain for last week. Willie
Edwards said he had the
best rain at his place 14
miles west of Harper off the
Junction Highway in many
months, the rain bringing
over IV4 inches of welcome
moisture on Thursday.
Rains in the Willow City,
Enchanted Rock country,
Rheingold, Stonewall, north
and east of Fredericksburg,
likewise were reported as
‘excellent’, bringing relief to
all areas of the county!
—Range & Field—
ANOTHER FINE RAIN fell
Tuesday night. My official
gauge showed 0.70 of an inch
which brings the month’s
total, for May, to 4.57 inches
and total for the year to
10.27 inches . . . very good!
Other parts of the county re-
ported more rain, including
Benno Meier at Cherry
Mountain with 1.10; Elroy
Ransleben, Kerrville Road,
1.30; Alvin Heimann, 703
West Travis, Fredericks-
burg, 0.85. Frank Staudt re-
ported 0.45 for Tuesday
night in Harper. Others in
the area reported more or
less, but a good and wel-
come rain. Staudt said
everything looks wonderful,
the country has “greened
up!”
—Range & Field—
THE WATER SUPPLY has
been replenished for most of
Texas. There is currently no
worry had shortages of
water supplies been created
for city municipal systems.
Also, it looks like the Comal
Springs at New Braunfels
will keep Landa Park busy
this summer as will the
springs at San Marcos which
provide the fresh clear
water at the Aquarena, etc.
Heavy rains fell in South
Texas the past week, putting
the Frio, Nueces, Atascosa
rivers on above flood-stage
rises. The Uvalde country
also received beneficial
rains, first in almost a year.
That’s good news for every-
one, and that’s what we like
to hear and report!
—Range & Field—
VERY FEW PEACHES will
be harvested in and around
Fredericksburg and Stone-
wall this year, due to late
frost and severe hail storms.
But, there will be some fresh
peaches available on the
John B. Connally farm in
Wilson County, near Flores-
ville. Bill McReynolds was
heard to explain Tuesday
how to get to the place which
is leased to another person,
believe by the name of Fitz-
simmons. From the way the
roads were described it
seems like a jig-saw puzzle,
turning first to one road,
then to another, then take a
right, another right, etc.
Nevertheless, if anyone

wants to get some fresh
peaches, in Texas, they are
to be had on that farm this
week. The notation was to
“come pick them yourself.”
There may be some other
places below San Antonio
where peaches will be avail-
able this summer, but not
around here, nor will there
by any reportedly, in East
Texas. The Green Grocer on
a San Antonio TV station on
Tuesday noted that peaches
coming in from California
were altogether too green
and he did not recommend
them for eating or for
making pies, etc. Whenever
there is a good crop here,
the Gillespie County peaches
are still rated NUMBER
ONE in the nation. You just
can’t beat that delicious fla-
vorful peach grown here in
this county!

FRANK LANDERS, form-
erly of Fredericksburg, now
at Ingram, sent a copy of the
Texas Department of Agri-
culture’s “CLIP SHEET”
which contained some inter-
ested news stories. Frank
also submitted a number of
other news items, all of
which are worth reading;
space, however, does not
permit reprinting all. His
interest in vital matters,
which concern all of us, all
citizens in this country, is
noteworthy. Everyone
should keep posted on
what’s going on in this coun-
try and let our elected
representatives, senators,
governors, the White House
Staff and even the Presi-
dent, know how you feel,
how you think, how you ar-
rive at conclusions with your
own observations. It is bet-
ter to have “concerned”
citizens, people who serve as
a “watch dog” on local,
state and national matters,
than to have a sleeping citi-
zenship that does not care or
bother! With reference to
the items submitted by Mr.
Landers, we will try to re-
print a few, some of which
were “letters to the editor”
in the San Antonio Express,
as follows:

POLITICAL
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Harper Herald has
been authorized to announce
the following candidates for
the office indicated, subject
to the November 4th Gen-
eral Election.
JOE MIKE EGAIN
No by-line, so I don’t know
who to applaud. However, I
T • )\ jdo know this was a person
"V fyhothinks.
Al N0t only does the con-
gressman send it (money)
home, he also receives it
continually in pension,
office, etc., when he gets
home.
Another article that shows
how the taxpayers are bled
was the Cuban refugees.
Setting up tent city, the
doctors and nurses who
were sent there, plus much
more we don’t know about,
such as food stamps, for
which Congress has just
authorized $3 billion in
emergency funds.
The paper stated an Army
base expected between
15,000 and 20,000 Cuban refu-
gees. Multiply this by at
least five until wives, par-
ents, etc., join them.
This brings us to another
thought.
All the extra teachers for
Head Start and teaching all
these children the English
language, which in -turn
leads to a very important
issue: What about all the
children who already speak
English? The ones whose
parents are paying the bill?
These children will be the
ones who can’t get the jobs
because if one reads the
want ads they will say:
“Must be bilingual” or
. “Prefer Spanish-speaking
person.” •
Then there are the Cubans
already in San Antonio. The
local merchants have al-
ready given them five jobs.
Why didn’t they give five
people on welfare the jobs so
as to lessen the welfare a
bit?
Wake up, people. Check
the voting record of your
congressman, how he voted
to spend your money. When
election time comes this fall,
let’s get the spenders out of
Washington and out of our
wallets.
