Volume Thirty-Two •
Rocksprings* Texas, Friday, December 15, 1950
National Speleological Society
Features Devil’s Sink Hole In Bulletin
Bulletin Ten published by the
'National Speleological Society has
reached our desk after it has been
published for nearly three years. The
Bulletin deals with The Caves of
Texas and the first lengthy article,
with photographs and illustrations
concerns The Devil’s Sinkhole, or as
they describe it "that isolated mon-
ster of abysses,”
The National Speleological Society's
exploration of the Sinkhole occurred
in January, 1947 but the Bulletin was
not published until April, 1948. As
this book is copyrighted it is impos-
sible for us to reprint any of it, but
several copies should be obtained to
place in our school, library, homes and
etc. This book contains some of the
best description of the Devil’s Sink-
hole that we have read, and coming
from such a relibale source, it makes
the reading more attractive.
The preface to the bulletin states
that Bulletin Ten is an experiment. If
judged to be a success, it will be -fol-
lowed at intervals by other regional
surveys and that it will surprise many
persons that Texas was chosen as the
first of the projected series. The NSS
has relatively few members there, and
its caves are probably less numerous
than in several eastern areas of equi-
valent size. But the caves of Texas,
and their contents, are so varied and
unusual that the choice was a logical
one.

gical Society is 1770 Columbia Road

Upper Llano Soil
Conservation
District News
More interest in the Upper Llanos
Soil Conservation District is being
shown by local ranchers. With win-
ter coming on and grass hard to find,
those ranchers long on grass have a
more secure feeling than those on
the short side.
Mrs. Velma Shurley's South Llano
River Ranch is one of those ranches
that is going into the winter in good
shape. Reduced stocking has brought
about an increase in the higher for-
age producing plants such as the blue-
stems, sidecats grama, tall dropseed
and vine-mesquite. Jerry Shurley, co-
owner and manager of the ranch al-
ong with Sam Coleman, Soil Con-
servation Service technician recently
made a forage utilization check in the'
Buckhorn pasture. They found the
livestock grazing these grasses by
preference. The proper balance bet-
ween livestock numbers and forage
produced has permitted the accumu-
lation of sufficient stubble height for
protection of green shoots in the base
of the old grass. Even though we have
had a dry fall, these plants are in a
thrifty condition.
Shurley plans to divide this pasture
into smaller units and work out a ro-
tation’program whereby each unit will
be given a rest period.
Henry Kast is another rancher in
the Edwards County portion of the
Upper Llanos Soil Conservation Dis-
trict who is going into winter with
lots of grass. Last week Kast was as-
sisted by a range technician with the
District in working out a coordinated
soil and moisture conservation plan.
In checking the condition of his range
vegetation twenty-eight different grass-
es and forbs were found in the Lane
trap. With this variety of feed it is

Basketball Is
The Game
Of The Day
The Rocksprings Gymnasium is ap-
preciated more and more each year
and especially during basketball sea-
son. Two exciting games started the
season off last Saturday night when
the Rocksprings teams played Leakey.
It was nip and tuck during the girls
game with each side scoring, tieing the
score at intervals, and finally playing
off a tie at the last with the game
ending giving Rocksprings the lead of
38 to 37 over Leakey. The boys' game
was practically the same way with the
Rocksprings team coming out on top
with a 28-25 lead over Leakey.
The Rocksprings teams played
Barksdale Tuesday night. The Rock-
springs school teams both boys and
girls won their games, but the Rock-
springs town team lost to the Barks-
dale town team.

Senior Play *
Enjoyed By
Those Attending*
Not anyone, that we have heard of,
regretted seeing the Senior Play, "On
With the New,” last Friday night.
The performers knew their parts so
well, and seemed to put everything
they had in acting out the part each
portrayed. It was lively and funny and
good entertainment to the end.
The Seniors’ Sponsor, Mrs. Joe
Luce, deserves much credit for the
selection of the play and helping the
students with it. The class made about
$125.00 profit, which will be used to-
ward the expenses of the Senior trip
in the spring.
