OLD GLORY SENIORS More Emergency Loon Funds
THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1971 PAGE 3
The Old Glory graduating
class is made up of three boys
and one girl. Their activities in
high school and plans for the
|\) future are presented in this
'special edition.
Roiiert Joiner, son of Mr. and
Mrs. William Joiner was born
July 26,1953, in Brawley, Calif.,
?ind inov6(! to Old Glory
was in the seventh grade. His
plans are undecided after he
graduates.
Robert has received letters in
basketball and was captain his
senior year. He also- likes to
play tennis.
His hobbies are swimming,
fishing, and going places.
Regina Letz, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Letz was born
Oct. 15,1952, in Haskell. She has
attended Old Glory Schools for
12 years. After graduation
Regina plans to attend Angelo
State University May 31 for the
summer session. She was active
in basketball, tennis, and
volleyball. She has received
four letters in basketball and
four in tennis. She was chosen
valedictorian, an outstanding
Teenager of America, and
placed second in prose reading
in district.
She enjoys swimming, skiing,
dancing, and cooking.
Steven Dv/ain Letz, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Allen W. Letz, was
born Feb. 2,1953, in Haskell. His
plans for his life's work are to

be a journeman electrician
after serving as an apprentice
for four years, with night
classes sponsored by the
I.B.E.W. He has played
basketball all four years in high
school and lettered each year.
He was tri-eaptain in his senior
year.
Hobbies arc g«ns. hunting,
meeting new people, writing,
swimming and getting all the
enjoyment on the weekend he
can.
Emergency loan funds are
available, applications are
being taken, and more money
has been requested to combat
the serious effects of the
drought which grips Texas,
Lynn Futch, State Director of
Farmers Home Administration,
said today.
President Nixon has asked
the Congress to add $65 million
to the fund from which FHA
finances its nationwide
emergency farm loan program,
Mr. Futch said.
The Farmers Home Ad-
ministration has already made
1503 emergency loans totaling
$15 million to farmers and
ranchers in Texas to help them
overcome the disastrous effects
of the drought which has
scorched parts of the state since
the spring of 1970.
Emergency leans are made to
enable farmers and ranchers to
continue normal operations
which have been disrupted by
natural disasters. These loans
previously were available in 53
counties, and last month, the
Secretary of Agriculture in-
creased the number to 235
counties.
The impact of the drought has
centered primarily in Texas
and Oklahoma, but Mr. Futch
said that emergency loans may
be made outside of designated
areas to eligible applicants who
have suffered severe losses as a
result of the drought.
Current interest rates on
emergency loans are 4 %
percent, repayable as soon as
possible consistent with the
financial ability of borrowers,
Mr. Futch said.
Application for loans should
be made at county offices of
Farmers Home Administration,
usually located in the county
seat town in which farm
property is located.
Progress Being Made in
Control Of Texas Mesquite
Weidon Gary Spitzer was
born Mar. 3, 1953, in Stamford,
lie is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Garrett Spitzer and has lived in
Old Glory all of his life. After

Tech and major in mechanical
engineering. He has lettered
four years in basketball, was
second on all-district team and
all area honorable mention, tri-
captain (basketball) and
regional finalist in tennis.
His hobbies are working on
cars, playing guitar, hunting
and swimming.
Track Records
Head Coach George Boyn-
ton is seeking back track
records of Aspermont High
School students.
Any ex-student or parent
of an ex-student with informa-
tion on old track records, is
urged to contact Coach Boyn-
ton.
Control of mesquite on Texas
rangeland has come a long way
in the past few years, thanks to
an intensive brush control
research program being con-
ducted by personnel at the
Texas A&M University
Agricultural Research and
Extension Center at Lubbock.
Studies show that a combination
of 2, 4, 5-T and picloram is
especially effective in the battle
against mesquite.
Cecil Meadors, Jr., a member
of the brush control team at the
A&M Center, reports that aerial
application of a combination of
one-fourth pound of 2,4,5-T and
one-fourth pound of picloram
per acre gave an average
mesquite kill of 44 percent for 16
West Texas locations during
May and June of 1968 and '69.
Results ran from a low of 23
percent to a high of 76 percent
kill.
At the same locations during
the two years, a combination of
one-fourth pound of 2,4,5-T and
one-fourth pound of banvel gave
an average kill of 29 percent
while treatment with one half
pound of 2,4,5-T alone resulted
in an average kill of 24 percent.
According to the researcher,
all three treatments were ap-
plied as an emulsion of one
gallon of diesel oil and three
gallons of water per acre.
Aerial application began about
60 days after the mesquite
started leafing while growing
conditions were favorable for
foliage development. Different
growth types were treated,
including small many-stemmed
plants, small trees and shrubs,
medium to large trees and
variable regrowth which had
occured following previous
treatments.
Soil types at the different
locations included deep sand,
sandy loam, siliy ciay ioam,
clay loam and heavy clay.
Annual rainfall ranged from a
low of 10 inches to a high of 25
inches.
"All of our test results were
obtained during a period
ranging from 18 to 30 months
following treatment," points out
Meadors. "The wide variations
in the results indicate that
growth types, soils and rainfall
are still major factors that
influence the percentage kill of
mesquite."
Studies have been conducted
since June, 1949 with aerial
applications of one-half pound
of 2,4,5-T mixed in one gallon of
diesel oil and three gallons of
water per acre, the researcher
points out. Generally, total
plant kill has averaged about 20
percent over the years.
Treatments normally are ef-
fective for about five years.
Then additional treatment
becomes necessary to maintain
grass production and check
