SAN PATRICIO
Farm and Ranch
...THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD
JACK JONES
Elsewhere in the paper this week
should appear the results of the
Dempsey Duprie Cotton variety
tests and others. Just as a quick
comment on the cotton varieties, it
appears that Stoneville 7 has con-
sistently held up well in all tests
in 1958 and 1959 in Nueces and
San Patricio Counties. This is a
small boll, machine pick variety
and it came in third ranked in
the Duprie tests, 5th in the Sch-
midt test near St. Paul and 3rd
on a test conducted on my own
farm.
Of course, Lankart is hard to
beat for hand snapping, it appear-
ed 1st ranked on the Duprie, 2nd
on Schmidt and 2nd on Jones. An-
other variety that looks good for
handsnap and it picks fairly well
with a machine (it isn’t a machine
variety) is Stormking 1 or 41. It
ranked 1st in yield on the Jones
farm, 2nd on Duprie and 12th on
the Schmidt farm. For a full run-
down on varieties see the paper
elsewhere.
This week the “Reader’s Digest
came out with an article titled,
“Time & A Half Farmers’’. It
makes pretty interesting reading.
But what impressed me was that
it said, “40 percent of the 4,700,-
000 fanners in the United States
hold jobs outside of their farming
activities’’. Look around you and
see how many of the farmers you
know hold jobs outside their farm.
With farm commodities down and
farm equipment price up it has
become a must if the farmer is
going to stay with his farm.
This sort of a "grab bag’’ this
week, and there were a number of
small items to get in so here goes
another one. This dead carpet grass
that you are having now is called
“brownpatch” and is a fungus dis-
ease and can be cured with a pro-
duct called “PCND” (terraclor)
which is a spray and should be
sprayed at the rate of 3-4 lb per
1000 sq. ft. The brownpatch should
disappear in two or three weeks
after treatment. Twenty five to
thirty gallons of water should be
used per 1000 sq. ft.
One other item I ran across in
“Crop & Soil magazine’’ is quot-
ed below in it entirety. This has
been a wet fall until November
and the ground has again been
worked wet. This compaction of the
ground isn’t doing us much good
but you gotta get it clean. But it
is a good idea to hold off as long present before the soil structure
as you can. Anyway here is what
the article says.
“Driving tractors into fields when
the soil is too wet can cost farm-
ers many dollars in reduced crop
yields, says D. M. Van Doren,
agronomist at the Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Wooter.
“The loss in yield caused by a
tractor packing soil at varying
moisture, were entirely packed with
an experiment conducted at the
Ohio Station. Two plots, one with
a high moisture content and a
second vvjth 6 to 7 percent less
moisture, were entirly packd vvih
a tractor wheel. This treatment ap-
plied a force of roughly 40 pounds
per square inch to the soil.
“A crawler-type tractor, which
applies a/ force of only 4 pounds
per square inch, was also used
to compare heavy with light com-
paction.
“Corn yields on the high-moisture
plots, when packed with the trac-
tor wheel, averaged 66 bushels per
acre. Yield from the lower-mois-
ture plot averaged 92 bushels per
acre. This shows that a certain
amount of soil water must be

can be damaged by compaction,
Van Doren says.
“With the crawler tractor, corn
yields averaged 112 bushels per
acre. This fact illustrates that suf-
ficient pressure must be applied at
a given moisture level to damage
equipment can be operated on moist
soils provided the load is not too
great, Van Doren points out.”

PALO PINTO — We learn from
the Waco Democrat that Thomas
Bennett, accused of having mur-
dered Mr. Bayo, of Palo Pinto
county, has been fried and honor-
ably acquitted. Bennett came near
being lynched at that time, and
was only saved by the decision and
firmness of the Sheriff.

COLLEGE STATION — If you
are an average homemaker, you
spend about a third of your time
in planning, preparing and serving
meals. Of course, some homemak-
ers spend more time on food pre-
paration than others. Size of the
and the convenience and use of
kitchen equipment influence the
time spent on meals.
You can have colorful, appetiz-
ing meals in minimum time and
with less energy if you plan and
manage them properly, according
to extension foods and nutrition
specialists. To help homemakers
with the job of meal planning and
management, specialists have writ-
ten a new bulletin entitled, “Quick
Meals.”
The specialists give four pointers
as to what makes a good meal.
They are: use foods that vary in
flavor, color, texture, size and
shape; they should be of good
quality, appetizing and prepared
so as to save food value; foods
should be served attractively; and
a pleasant atmosphere should be
present to help the family enjoy
meal time.
Better use of time by menu plan-
ning is discussed. Some suggestions
are: serve fewer and well-prepar-
ed foods in generous amounts, use
foods that can be cooked together,
such as pot roasts and vegetables,
and plan dishes which require few
ingredients.
The bulletin contains many menu
plans for quick meals, such as
oven meals, one-dish meals, broil-
er meals, top-cf-the-range meals,
and meals from the freezer. All
these recipes have easy to follow
directions.
Contact your local home demon-
stration agent for a copy of the
bulletin. Or write the Agricultural
formation Office, College Station.

We learn by an Intelligencer
Extra, that Mr. Britton offered a
resolution in the State Senate, on
the morning of the 18th, for the
raising of a thousand men to re-
sist rebellion, and to repel invas-

mediately passed; but it was refer
red to the Senate Committee, and
the Senate adjourned to give the
Committee an opportunity to re-
port the bill.

When you mortgage your home,

the investment. But that doesn’t
protect the part of your home
you’ve already paid for — the
