CUNNINGHAM
Almost anything can happen
theae days—and It generally
does.
One of our schoolboy friends
was stopped recently for doing
40 miles an hour In a 30-mlle
cone and on a bicycle yeti
And in a nearby city they
tell of a tipped cltlcen who
was arrested for driving while
Intoxicated—on a tractor.
And there’s the etory of a-
nother elbow-bending cltlcen
whose wife hid his car keys,
so he came to town on his rid-
ing lown mower.
However, Joggln’ Larry Sel-
lars hasn't yet been given a
ticket for exceeding the speed
limit. But don’t place any bets.

The Llano Yellowjacets ap-
parently will field another first
rate football team this fall, and
already there have been pre-
dictions that they will go still
further than last year's team,
which broke theell-tlme record
by going to the state quarter-
finals.
Of course the Jackets are
good, but let's not rent a sta-
dium for the state champion-
ship game Just yet. We’ll need
It, naturally, but who knows,
a tornado might demolish the
stadium before the season la
over, and we'd be stuck with
the rental.
-W-
A lot of favorable comment
going around on Llano’s coach-
ing staff. They seem to be able
to get everything out of the
boys they’ve got In them—and
without cussing them out of
their mistakes. It hasn’t always
been like that.
-W-
Tempest in a teapot over the
long-hairs at school. It wasn't
like that back In the days when
peppy told the kids, "Son, If
you don’t mind the teachers,
you’ll get walloped; and If you
get walloped at school, you’ll
get walloped again when you
get home." The attitude that
Junior can do no wrong Isn’t
any favor to Junior.

THESE ARE SOME Or THE BROWSE plants that deer depend •» for foed diiftel
the critical Masons of the year in Llano County Soil and Water Conservation District.
Cattle la the only livestock that has had access to this pasture tn several years. Uve
oak and cedar are two plants that deer browse on during thi winter _ months. Elm,
grape and hackberry furnish good food during the summer month*. Evaluate and plan
brush control carefully so both deer and livestock can have more Tprsge to eat

"Jake, I know that money don't mean everything,
but with you havin' 3 over due notes and
14 overdrafts ... it does!"
(By Martin L. Bleslng,
District Conservationist SCS)
Browse from woody plants
helps keep deer alive during
the critical seasons of the year
according to Martin Bleslng of
the Soli Conservation Service,
assisting Llano County Soil and
Water Conservation District,
July, August, January and Febr-
uary are four of the most cri-
tical months of the year for
deer Bleslng points out. During
the summer months there are
very few green grasses or forbs
alive for deer to eat. They have
to depend on the woody plants
for something green. A few of
the more desirable woody plants
that furnish them food at this
time of the year are elm,
hackberry, greenbrter, kidney-
wood, bum el la, grape, wild
plum and others. During winter
months of January and February
they do not have as much of a
choice. Some of the winter
browse plants are cedar, live
oak and greenbrter.
Llano County has been known
as the "Deer Capital” of Texas
for years, with proper wild-
life management, Llano Coun-
ty'can remain the "Deer Capi-
tal" of Texas with less die-offs
and larger and fatter deer.

grazing syr‘ ;m can improve
forage production for both wild-
life and livestock. As livestock
are rotated from pasture to pas-
ture they have good lush forage
to graze, thus producing more
beef, wool, mohair, and mut-
ton. As the pastures are rest-
ed tn the deferred rotation sys-
tem, deer and other wildlife
have free choice of the forage
plants in the rested pastures.
This makes more forage avail-
able which produces larger deer
and antlers.
Brush control should be care-
fully evaluated and planned
since the -economic return to
landowners from hunting has
continued to Increase In Llano
County each year. Brush con-
trolled In the proper amounts
and proper patterns can Im-
prove both livestock forage and
wildlife forage according to
Bleslng.
Since brush or woody plants
play an Important roll In the
diet of deer during the critical
seasons of the year the Llano
County Soil and Water Conser-
vation District encourages
everyone to help make our coun-
ty produce more by protecting
more. For more details, contact
your local SCS office.
We have a spare typewriter

Royal which Is In remarkably
good conditioning, considering
Its questionable age. It is so
old that It has no question mark
key, no exclamation point, and
does have five Indentation keys
for use with a decimal point
or multiples of 10. It has to be
more than 50 years old, but
they were built to last away
back then.

It would be nice If the county
could somehow Investigate the
possibility of obtaining a large
outdoor vacuum cleaner that
could get rid of all the messi-
ness the host of birds leave
behind on the courthouse
square. When It gets as bad
as It Is now, It become a real
health hazard and certainly Is
a long way from a sanitary
example the county could be
setting.
