New Idea Presented For Stalk Destruction
Thirty-five San Patricio County
farmers were on hand for a field
demonstration of a new way to
remove cotton and grain sorghum
stalks in the field.
Charlie Schultz of Arizona Drip
Systems in Coolidge, Arizona gave
the demonstration Friday of the new
Sundance System consisting of the
Sundance Puller and Discs.
According to Schultz, the design of
the system is such that two discs run
on top of each row and as they
rotate, they dig in the ground four to
five inches, lifts and pinches the
stalk and pulls it out of the ground.
The disc has cleets on the back
that assist in forcing the discs to
rotate.
Once the stalk is pulled up, it is left
Exhibitors Sought For
Portland Arts & Crafts Fair
Artists and craftsmen from a
widespread South Texas area are
being asked to display their wares in
the fall Arts and Crafts Fair at First
United Methodist Church in
Portland.
The eighth annual event is spon-
sored by the church’s United
Methodist Women’s organization.
Locals
Royce and Della Reid of Odem
have announced the birth of their
first great-grandchild.
Jacob Samuel Fuller was born
Tuesday, August 20 at 2:41 p.m. to
Paul Allen and Millie Fuller. He
weighed six pounds, three ounces.
Grandmother is Gyrene Reid
Fuller Osgood.

Botello Receives

Abel Botello of Odem.
the day-long fair is scheduled for
Saturday, November 2 in the
church’s Fellowship Hall and
Children’s Wing.
The fair enables South Texans to
get an early start on Yule tide shopp-
ing from a wide array of items, ac-
cording to Mrs. Dee Ann Gabro,
chairperson for this year’s fair.
Gifts are modestly priced, she said.
Mrs. Gabro said exhibitors are be-
ing sought in Aransas, San Patricio,
Bee, Kleberg, Nueces and Refugio
counties. Exhibitors, however, are
not being restricted to persons from
those counties, she added.
Persons wanting to reserve a
display booth may request a
registration form by writing Mrs.
Gabro at 111 Seco, Portland, 78374 or
by calling 643-1994.
Booths are being offered on a first-
come, first-serve basis, she said,
and are priced at $15 each. Ex-
hibitors are being asked to reserve
space soon because facilities are
limited. The women’s group seeks to
have all booths leased by the first
full week of October. Booth space is
restricted to arts and crafts only.
Proceeds from the fair are used by
the sponsoring group to further its
Christian outreach in the communi-
ty and to South Texas, concluded
Mrs. Gabro.

lying on top of the ground which,
says County Extension Agent Dar-
win Anderson, is a good soil con-
servation practice.
The disc is a coulter system,
rebeding behind the puller. The
puller can be mounted on the front or
rear of the tractor but when it is used
with the Sundance Disc, the puller
has to be mounted on the front.
Those attending the
demonstration learned that the main
advantage of the puller is that it can
be operated fast at a speed of 10
miles per hour or more. Schultz told
the group that it actually needs some
speed to work well. It pulls, easy and
is fuel efficient, he added.
Reports have been given that a 12-
row Sundance Puller has been pull-
ing stalks in 30-inch row spacings at
a rate of 25 to 27 acres per hour.
According to Schultz, the system
was originally invented for the Sun-
dance Farms in Coolidge to use on
their property where they have drip
irrigation. They wanted to be able to
destroy stalks in compliance with
Arizona law without damaging their
drip irrigation system which is
buried at about 10 inches below the
soil surface.
The farm has 2,200 acres under
drip irrigation, some which was in-
stalled over 10 years ago.
Anderson stated that lie believes
the system is really a new and uni-
que idea in stalk destruction.
For more information regarding
the system, Anderson may be con-
tacted at the Extension Office by
calling 364-2334 or visiting Robstown
Hardware in Robstown, the local
dealer of the Sundance System.

WHAT MAKES REMBRANDT
DIFFERENT - AND BETTER?
REMBRANDT is the one
toothpaste that 40,000 dentists
recommend for whiter teeth and
the utmost in oral hygiene care.
Why?
■ REMBRANDT WHITENING
TOOTHPASTE restores your teeth
to their whitest and brightest the
safe, gentle way. Unlike other
whitening toothpastes, it contains
no harsh abrasives and won’t
damage tooth enamel;
■ REMBRANDT eliminates years
of stain build-up from coffee, tea,
food, wine, tobacco and the like
just with routine brushing;
■ REMBRANDT outperformed
the leading toothpaste in plaque
and tartar control in major universi-
ty clinical studies;
■ Ordinary toothpastes just inhibit
the formation of plaque and tartar,
the leading cause of periodontal
disease. REMBRANDT goes a step
further - it actually removes them.
When it comes to a healthy, attrac-
tive smile, nothing else on the
market can compare to REM-
BRANDT.
