Coastal Bermuda Grass
Becomes Popular Here
For the last two ypars Coastal
Bermuda Grass has become in-
creasingly popular with the Soil
Conservation District Coopera-
tors Serviced by the Mineola
Work Unit Office ot the Soil
Conservation Service, according
to J. H. Cheek, Soil Conserva-
tionist for the SCS.
The heavy demand for “root-
stock” for planting in the
spring of ’55 is evidence of the
growing popularity of t h i s
perennial pasture plant. “In
1954 Soil Conservation District
Cooperators in my work area
planted 110 acres of this grass,
today we have requests for ap-
proximately 500 acres,” Che*!,
said.
Preston Fowler, who lives at
Van, and operates a 700 acre
ranch near Martins Mill in Van
Zandt is one of the two known
sources of supply for Coastal
Bermuda grass in this part of
East Texas. Lewis M. Gore who
operates a large ranch near
Golden in Wood SCD is thi
other source of supply. Fowler
has about 23 acres to dig and
Goie has about 15. The roots
to be dug from these two farms
should plant over 2000 acres.
‘ Orders have been received al-
ready for at leas* one third of
my grass ancl me orders are
coming in daily. I plan to
plant t.y additional 100 acres
this year.” Fowler said.
According to SCS Technicians
Coastal Bermuda Grass is much
better than the common in that
it grows faster, has larger leaf
and stem, is adapted to practi-
cally all soils, drouth resistant,
comes out earlier in the spring
and grows later in the fall and
is higher in protein than com-
mon Bermuda.

of the state boundary line.
John W. Simmons of Orange,
president of the SRA board of
directors, said the authority ex-
pects to carry out the Toledo
end and Iron Bridge project?,
its top priority reservoirs, with-
out federal aid on cost of eon -
struction.
He said that has never hap-
pened before in the case of a
major reservoir constructed by
a public agency.
Louisiana is preparing its own
master plan to include joint
construction and maintenance
of the Toledo Bend Reservoir.
Other Texas dams on the
main river art proposed at Iron
Bridge in northwest Van Zandt
County, Carthage in the north-
ern part of Panola County, an l
just above Logansport in south-
eastern Panola County.
One of the proposed tributary
reservoirs, Cheiokee Reservoir
No. 1 at Longview, already has
been developed by private capi-
tal.
Other would be on Eight Mile
Creek in the southeastern part
of Harrison County, Martins
Bayous in eastern Rusk County,
Murvaul Bayou in southwestern
Panola County, Soeagee Bayou
in eastern Panola County,
Cherokee Bayou in southwestern
Harrison County, Big Cow Creek
in mid-Newton County, and Lit-
tle Cow Creek in the northern
part of Newton County.
Engineer James A. Cotton
said in a letter transmitting the
pian to Simmons that it “should
b; considered only as a guide
and should be reviewed and
modified from time to time as
necessary to meet changing
conditions of economic growth
and water needs.”
Some of the tributary reser-
voirs would be developed in co-
operation with cities, local wa-
ter districts and perhaps, pri-
vate interests.
