19(1 may long be remembered as
a pretty tough year beacuse of
moisture conditions in the state.
It tvasfi't a good year for high

Last Call For Legamea
Time and soil moisture Condi-
tions are two factors that farm-
ers must now consider If the win-
ter legume crop has not yet been
planted. For best results, says W.
B. Coke, an Extension agrono-
mist of Texas A. ft M. College,
winter legumes sheuld be planted
before November 1. The lack of
available soil moisture, compli-
cate present plantings for soils
in many sections of the state are
beginning to show the effects of
dry weather.

Of Interest to this reporter wne
a mid-summer trip to Oklahoma
A. t M. College at Stillwater and
a pleasant two-day visit with our
good friend Dr. Doaald Van Horn,
chief USDA agronomist in charge
of castor bean research for the
entire nation. The hard-working
doctor-scientist enlightened us on
some research that should begin
proving bdth satisfactory and eco-
nomical within a short time. Two
years experimentation with the
castor bean hulls, after the bean
is removed at the crushing plant, is
proving that when mixed with
commercial fertilisers the increas-
ed yield of corn per acre at harvest
time has proved to tome degree
successful. Dr. Van Horn isn’t pre-
pared to' release any definite theory
at this time on- the possibilities
of the castor been being a 100
per cent utility crop but he’s high-
ly pleased with the Oklahoma ex-
periments in this field ef using the
hulls once they are separated from
the bean. Wei] keep you informed
on this particular experiment from
time to time nad especially since
R. H. Nelson has indicated that
the castor bean crop is expected to
be more important than ever next
year.

We read in a recent American
Shorthorn Association bulletin
that: Shorthorn cattle had their
origin near the River Tees in Scot-
land. . .that this breed rank first
among the world’s beef breeds in
the extegt of their numbers, pre-
dominating in all but one of the
major beef-producing countries of
the world. . .that while other
broods . . . that according to tests
made at Bar B Ranch, Ogden,
Utah, cross-bred calves sired by
Shorthorn bull were 60 pounds
heavier at 16 months of age than

Hybrid Com
W.~L. Gantz, southwest editor
for Farm and Ranch-Southern Ag-
rteutturalist, has a feature item in
the current issue of that publica-
tion dealing with hybrid corn in
Erath County.
A picture, accompanying the ar-
ticle includes Charles Neblett, Jr.,
Grady Wolfe and County Agent G.
D. Everett.
The article deals with county
corn growers “cashing in” to the
extent of some $600,000 annually
on their hybrid corn.
“Just how Erath County achiev-
ed that goal is a front page story,”
wrote Gants.
Others mentioned in the article
include Cad C. Winter, Edd Bays,
