Volunteer Firemen
To Observe Fire
Safety Week
This year, October 4-10 will
be designated as Fire Preven
tion Week. This week will serve
as a springboard for a year
round fire safety program tc
be conducted in Teague by the
Volunteer firemen.
Nearly every man, woman
and youto in Teague is a mem-
ber of some organization, and
one individual, entirely on his
own, may do a good job of
preaching fire safety, but each
organization should strive to put
a break in the wall of public
indifference to fire safety.
Probably the most important
factor in maintaining an ef-
ficient fire safety program In
any community Is a smoothly
functioning Community Fire Sa-
fety Committee. Realizing this
the following committee was
formed to conduct Teague’s Fire
Safety Program during Fire Pre-
vention Week:
Chairman, Mayor Fenton
Smith. Jr., Ed Lambert, Clydell
McSpadadn, John Richardson,
Earl Long, Rev. W. A. Casseday,
Phil Wetoerholt and Leo C. Stu-
ver.
With the cooperation of citi-
zens this community intends
to make a successful campaign
for fire safety during Fire Pre-
vention Week, October 4-10.

Freestone-Leon Soil
Conservation
District News
Seeding land to legumes has
helped establish permanent) pas-
ture for R. M. Senter, who is a
Freestoen-Leon Soil Conserva-
tion District Cooperator in the
Teague Conservation Group.
Mr. Senter had a bottomland
field toat had been in cultiva-
tion for a number of years. Due
to years of continued cultiva-
tion, the condition of the soil
became such that it was no
longer profitable to grow row
crops. It) was then that he de-
cided to turn the field into a
permanent pasture.
He sodded the field with Ber-
muda grass but had trouble
getting it to spread until he
seeded it to vetch in the fall of
1951. He has grazed the vetch
for the last two years and the
bermuda is rapidly spreading
over toe entire field. Mr. Senter
feels that it has been worth hia
time and money Just to get the
grass started, not counting the
grazing received from the vetch.
Another upland field on the
Senter farm to now in perma-
nent pasture after three years
of overseeding wito legumes.
This old cultivated field was
seeded to Crimson and Yellow
Hop Clover. Bermuda grass has
now become so well established
that is now out for hay each
year.
