District News
With the emphasis in East Tex-
as changing from row crops to
cattle, more and more farmers are
converting scrub-timber and brush
land to improved pasture. Among
the cooperators of the Cherokee
County SCD who have recently
cleared land for pasture are: Fos-
ter Brewer, S. \V. Spencer. A. N.
Walley, J. T. Underwood. H. B.
Underwood, Stanley Greenwood &
A L. Keener, Summerfield; Mrs.
| Minnie Conner and Carl Durrett,
Mavdelle; A L. Looney, Mixon; T.
R. Stovall, Troup; J. W. Woodard,
Gallatin; and Frank Jones, Jack-
sonville. Most of these landown-
ers are seeding their newly clear-
ed land to vetch and oats to fur-
nish supplemental grazing in the
winter and spring and to keep
their very fertile topsoil from
washing this winter.

j Planting of pine seedlings be-
! can this week with the planter*
.starting on the farms of Alfred
Myrick, Dialville and J. C. and
¡Earl Barrett, Troup. Landowners
¡who have not prepared their land
.for planting should do so soon.
I Cut ants should be poisoned now.
j Regular checks should be made to
i be sure ants are under control.
Landowners with pine plantations
■should plow out their fire lanes
immediately. Conditions are just
; right for disastrous fires which
'could quickly destroy these plan-
tations. Fire lanes should be sev-
en to twelve feet wide and COM-
PLETELY FREE of all combusti-
ble material.

A. W. Coker. Work Unit Con-
servationist with the Soil Conser-
vation Service, states that he is
well pleased so far with the re-
sults of this year's fall plantings.
"As you drive through our Dis-
trict." he says, "note how the
fields and pastures are beginning
to turn green. Fall plantings of
adapted legumes such as vetch and
different clovers and small grain
are at last a regular part of our
conservation farmer's operating
schedule. The day is in sight when
we will realize our ambition to see
our District as green in December
as it is in April."
J. S. Bennett, a dairyman at
Ponta. deserves a pat on the back
for doing a good conservation job
on his farm. Bennett has convert-
ed old cultivated land to some of
the best upland pastures in Cher-
okee County SCD. The practices
followed by Mr. Bennett have been
sound. The results can be seen
both in the cattle and the pay
check. He used vetch, fertilizer
