Docket
Max Schneider in the West Sin-
ton area were broken into on Mon-
day morning by a youthful gang
composed of two teenage girls
and two male companions possi-
bly in their early twenties, ac-
cording to a report from Sheriff
Frank Hunt.
The two couples are traveling
in a blue 1950 or 1951 Oldsmobile
88 bearing Oklahoma license plat-
es, according to information giv-
en the sheriff by Royce Fromme
and Cleo Bell of West Sinton com-
munity who saw the car.
Fromme reported pulling the
car out of the mud early Monday
morning and noticed the suspic-
ious air of the two couples. They
gave vague answers to his re-
marks, Fromme said. He noticed
that there were quilts and blank-
ets in the car, indicating that
the girls and their male com-
panions had been living in the
car.
Later that morning Cleo Bell
drove into his driveway to find
one of the couples at his home.
They gave a very vague explana-
tion as to their being on his
permises, pretending that they
were looking for . a family
living in the West Sinton section.
The name they gave was un-
familiar to Bell and his suspic-
ion as to the truth of the infor-
mation asked for caused him to
keep an eye on the couple after
the girl and young man turned
away. Later he saw them with
another couple driving toward Sin-
ton from the Ulston Ritchea home.
He h adfound a brown leather
bag which apparently had been
through from the car and he drove
on to follow the two couples who
out distanced him.
The purse was one belonging
to Mrs. Ritchea, it, was found
when the sheriff made an invest-
igation. Clothing, including blue
jeans and shirts, and two bill
folds and two other purses, a
pair of diamond ear rings and
a less expensive pair of earrings
are missing from the Ritchea
home. Entrance to the home was
made through a kitchen window.
When Mr. and Mrs. Max Sch-
neider returned from the rcdeo
in Beeville on Monday afternoon
they found that a screen had
been taken from one of their
back windows and their home had
been entered and ransacked. A
.22 calibre pump rifle with a box
of ammunition to fit it was among

New Farm Read
Due To Cost
Over $500,000
On Monday the Commissioners
Court approved the State Highway
Department’s plan for a Farm-
to-Market Road which will run
from Sinton to the intersection of
Farm-to-Markets 881 and 136 at
a point approximately six miles
northest of Gregory. The cost of
the asphalt road, 16.2 miles in
length, is estimated at $500,000
the largest sum ever spent on a
single stretch of Farm to Market
road in San Patricio Co.
The proposed road will branch
off State Highway 181 at the Odem
Airport east of the city limits of
Sinton and will cut across to the
intersection of the- Bayside-Grego-
ry road and the Rockport road
136.
The approval of the minutes was
made subject to securing the right
of way for the road. The usual
length of time to secure a right
of way runs around six months,
Judge W. E. Nicholas reported
and the bids for the road con-
struction will follow the securing
of the easements.

The high winds last week fol-
lowing the heavy rains brought
to the attentoin of many farm-
ers that there is a definite de-
ficiency existing on their farms.
Blowing was in its best form for
this time of the year which as
a rule hasn’t been too bad a
problem except in spring. It, was
noticed that land that had been
ip grain the past year was hard-
ly effected but the land relative-
ly free from residue like cotton
land blowing was excessive. This
same land no doubt will exper-
ience some more of the same
this winter and in spring when
the crops are small. According
to soil characteristics the heavy
soils like the black land in this
district will not blow when the
soil condition is up to standard
or nearly so. The only reason
this soil blows is because the or-
ganic content is low and has no
residue on the surface. When this
is the condition the raindrops
cause a splash in the soil, the
heavier particles go downward and
the light particles remain on the
surface and are ready t.o be pick-
ed up by the wind and forcibly
driven away. In order to avoid
the separation of the different
weight granules it is necessary
to have the residue on the sur-
face of the soil to absorb the
shock of the rain drop and then
to keep the high velocity winds
from getting to the soil. In this
respect feed residue has done
much toward protection of the
soil. Another beneficial practice
is the planting of cover crops at
an early date. On one farm near
west, Sinton Williamette was seed-
ed early and has considerable
growth which was a lot of pro-
tection to the soil. A number of
farmers are planning on stripping
their land withpermanent strips,
using perennial grass like Blue
panic. Others will use Hubam clo-
ver strips which are very effec-
tive in the spring against strong
winds, but at this time of the
year the clover is too small to
offer the needed protection.
Mr. D. A Williams, Administra-
tor, Soil Conservation Service,
Washington, D. C. has informed
the technicians of the S. C. S.
that the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954 has been approved. The
following is a copy of Section 175
dealing with expenditures paid or
incurred for the purpose of Soil
and Water Conservation.
1. Many expenditures incurred
for Soil and Water Conservation
which formerly had to be capi-
talized may now be treated as
expense and allowed as deduct-
ions.
2. The amount deductable in
any taxable year shall not ex-
ceed 25 per cent of the gross
income derived from farming dur-
the things missing in the Schnei-
der home. Some wine and whiskey
that were kept in a closet in
the home was also missing. Dres-
ser drawers and clothes closets
had been ransacked.
A report from Sheriff Hunt just
prior to the Tuesday 12 noon
deadline for the paper was to the
effect that no trace. of the four
young burglars had been found
and that the check on the Ok-
lahoma license plates was not
complete at that time.
ing the taxable year. However,
if the total expenditures treated
as expense exceeds ^5 per cent
of gross income from farming in
any taxable year, such excess ex-
pense may be carried forward
and deducted in succeeding taxa-
ble years providing the total
amount, deducted in any Succeed-
ing taxable year does ^ot exceed
25 per cent of the gross income
from farming for that year.
3. Items that may be treated
as expense are expenditures for
Soil and Water Conservation de-
fined by the code as treatment
or moving earth including but not
limited to leveling, grading ter-
racing and contour furrowing; the
construction, control and protec-
tion of diversion Channels, drain-
age ditches, earthen dams, water
courses, outlets and ponds, the
eradication of brush and the plant-
ing of windbreaks.
4. Items that may not be treat-
ed as expense are the purchase,
construction, installation or im-
provement of structures, applianc-
es or facilities which are subject
to an allowance for depreciation
under the code. Usually this in-
cludes structures of concrete,
steel, masonry, wood or other ma-
terials for which the reasonable
life of the structure may be de-
terminded. The Internal Revenue
Service is the final authority on
items which should be depreciat-
ed and not treated as expense.
5. Expenditures made to satis-
fy any part, of an assessment
levied by a soil and water con-
servation or drainage district are
allowable as deductions provided
they would be allowable under
the code if made by an individual
farmer or rancher. This provision
should be of interest to farmers
and ranchers who participate in
mutual or organized drainage ac-
tivities or watershed programs
under local cost, sharing arrange-
ments.
6. A taxpayer may adopt the
method provided in Section 175
for his first taxable year after
1953 in which such expenditures
are paid or incurred or he may
continue to capitalize his expens-
es as in the past. If he adopts
the expense method in Section
175 he can subsequently change
such method of treating such ex-
penditures only with consent of
the District Director of Internal
Revenue. Similarly if he wishes
to adopt the expense method in
any taxable year in which he
pays or incurs soil and water
conservation expenditures, he must
obtain the consent of the District
Director of Internal Revenue.

No Preparations
Made For Women
Juries In County
County Judge W. E. Nicholas
is remaining silent for the time
being on the problems of lodging
a mixed jury which will confront
the County when women begin
their service as jurors.
The Judge is awaiting the rul-
ing of the attorney general and
a possible action by the Legis-
lature before he begins getting
gray hairs over solving the pro-
blem in his county. But despite
his diapproval of the amendment
which dumped jury service into
the laps cf the Texas ladies the
Judge’s chivalry can be depend-
ed upon in the hour of need and
a proper solution will be arrived
at before the need of a jury room
for the ladies is here.
Attorney General Sheppard has
ruled that women may start serv-
ing on Texas Jury after November
. However it is unlikely that
any will appear in, district court
for some time,- as a jury com-
mission has just finished its work.
