Ranchers in Bowie Territory
Are Co-operating With Soil District
Ebner W. Lewis, who owns a I obligation. This includes the use
1 certain conservation equip-
ment. information and any other
assistance the district has avail-
able. Districts, if they so desire,
may utilize the technical services
of the Soil Conservation in work-
ing with cooperatives in planning
and applying conservation prac-
tices.
Lewis has been resting all his
netive grassland this year in an
attempt to let his better grasses
produce seed and gain in vigor.
He plans to seed one of his culti-
vated fields to permanent grass.
Lewis also plans to enlarge ai) old
pond.
Fowler plans to plant approxi-
mately 164 acres of his cropland
to King Ranch bluestem next
spring. Fowler also plans to start
,a steer program on his ranch this
fall so his pastures will get a rest,
every late spring and summer.
•' Others farmers who are resting
their pastures include D. L.
Thompson of Spanish Fort and
Adrain Parker of lllionis Bend.
Thompson 4s also in the process
of planting 30 acres of alfalfa
and biennial sweetclover.
Parker tries to save one of his
pastures back each year for win-
ter grazing. By letting a pasture
rest during the entire growing
season, it produces much more
total grass than it would if it
had been grazed year long. The
Mrs. Lynn Roberts opened the
meeting of the Amity Club, last
■ Thursday with the group re-
I peating the Club Collect. Roll
I call was answered by seventeen
I members.
I Mrs. M. A. Ashford, recording
I secretary, gave a report. Corres-
■ pondence was read by Mrs. Jack
I Winn, corresponding secretary.
II Mrs. Elmer Covey reported for
I the Ways and Means Committee.
I Mrs. M. C. Gibbins presented the
I club with a blue ribbon and $10
I which the club float won in the
I fair parade. She also reported
I that the animals that were used
I on the’float had been rented to
I a club in Throckmorton.
1 Mrs. Gordon—Heard reported ’i
on the progress being made for
the Mass Chest X-Ray in the ab-
sence of Mrs. Jajnes Henderson,
. chairman. Plans are being made
to place posters over the entire
* county at local post offices and
other public business places for
the Chest X-Rays.
SUNSET, Oct. I—Peanut crop
harvesting in the Sunset area is
reported in good progress. Due
to continued dry weather, pea-
nuts arc soon in condition for
threashing after being plowed up.
The yield is proving light this
season. Some of the crop is turn-
inf out ten bushels of nuts per
acre and some is falling below
that figure. The average of nuts
appears to be somewhat below
||ie annual average.
Producers are reported to be
getting around a quarter of a
ion of vine hay per acre from
thair peanut acreage this year
and the hay is reported good. It
is being baled and stored" free of
rain damage. Most of the peanut
hay in this area will be held by
the producer's to fill their own
hl
hi
Prospects appear fair for good
progress in the Sunset Parent-
T e.a c hers Association activities
this school term, Mrs. Glee Jack-
son, president, reported.
Regular business sessions are
scheduled for 2:30 p m. on the
third Thursday in each month,

Elect New Supervisor
For Upper Elm-Red
Tony Walterscheid is the new
Supervisor of Zone 3 of the Up-
per Elm-Red Soil Conservation
District. He was elected by a
group of landowners who met in
the Muenster City Hall Tuesday
night, October 2nd. Elections are
held in each zone every five
years.
J W. Hess, who is retiring from
the Board of Supervisors after
thirteen years of service, was
elected chairman of the conven-
tion type election and Paul Fish-
er was elected to serve as secre-
tary.
After the election the group
saw a short color motion picture pasture is then grazed during the
winter months while the grass is
dormant. Parker finds this "sure
saves on that winter feed bill”
which in turn means more net
profit.
Jack Crownover is preparing to
plant about 35 acres of alfalfa for
hay and grazing. Crownover has
already planted about 20 acres of
vetch for a soil improving cover
crop.
Ponds wore recently completed
on farms owned by Willaid

and checked by L. N. Lanford
and Johnnie Simmons of the lo-
cal Soil Conservation Service of-
fice assisting the Upper Elm-Red
Soil Conservation District.
