Water pump freeze-ups are always
troublesome and often involve costly
repairs or replacement.
You can avoid this winter hazard
easily and inexpensively with one of the
specially designed electric pump heat-
ers. Most models are equipped with a
thermostat control for automatic oper-
ation.
Ask for the pump heater at farm
supply, hardware or electric appliance
stores ... or call your nearest TP&L
office for names of dealers.

SCS Suggests
Good Seedbed
For Best Results
What farmer in Van Zandt coun-
ty would think of planting a crop
of corn or sweet potatoes in a field
grown up in weeds and other types
of competitive vegetation? Surely
very few indeed. And yet each
year some farmers try to establish
a stand of permanent type grass
such as Coastal Bermuda grass in
just such a manner. Extreme care
should be taken in the preparation
of the needbed for Coastal Bermuda
grass just as it would be for any
other crop.
The successfufl planting of Coastal
Bermuda grass and other perennial
grasses require an early start.
Seedbed preparation should be start-
ed in late summer or early fall.
The land nhould be broke six to
eight inches deep with a moldboard
or disk breaking plow. This will
bury most of the annual weed and
grass seeds too deep for them to
emerge and at the same time loos-
en and stir the soil. The land should
be disked as necessary to keep it
free of annual weeds and grass un-
til planting time.
Fore more information on land
preparation for grass plantings con-
tact your local Soil Conservation
Service offices in Canton or Wills
Point.

DON’T CLIMB WITH GUN
The Texas Safety Association re-
minds hunters to never climb or
jump with a loaded gun. Never
pull a gun toward you muzzle first.
When going through fences, push
your gun ahead, or hand it to a
companion with the breech open
And. don’t set your gun against a
tree or fence. It could fall and dis-
charge.

The same time of year that means
hunting season to a hunter means
the courting season to the deer.
Working on this Achilles-heel of
a big buck may be the medicine al-
lowing you to hang his head on the
wall of your den.
Deer calls are not legal in Texas,
but antler-ratling is within the
law, and might be considered good
conservation. Deer need to be har-
vested by hunters, but a woods fill-
ed with crippled deer because the
running snap-shot failed to connect
in the right place is hardly desir-
able. If anything will bring a ro-
mantically-inclined buck right up
to the rifle, rattling often will do it.
The secret of antler rattling is to
use an antler set in such a way
that the produced sounds closely
resemble those made by two bucks
clashing together. Large antlers
aren’t necessary, but they should not
be too dry or bleached out. If the
antlers are old they may be restor-
ed by soaking in water overnight..
If you have heard two bucks
fighting you know row to produce
the clashing sounds, complete with
brush rattling and hoof stamping.
The first rattles should be of long-
er duration than those following
but not more than two minutes:
clash them together, rattle a few
times, low on the beams at first
then toward theends of the tines.
Take apart and clean again, repeat-
ing from different angles. After the
first attempt, wait at least 15 min-
utes before trying again.
And ... it just might not be a
bad idea to remain silent and keep
rifle handy while you wait!
MAKE SURE YOUNGSTERS
KNOW THEIR GUNS
The Texas Safety Association
parents to make certain young
hunters have a thorough working
knowledge of guns before allowing
them to take to 'the field. See that
proper clothing is worn for visi-
bility and see that youngsters have
formed safe attitudes and habits in
carrying and handling firearms.

“We can also boast of having two
adult 4-H leaders in the county.
“Our club members have frozen
1162 packages of fruits and vege-
tables, plus 25 fryers and 50 pounds
of fish.
“We have canned 1377 jars of
fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies and
preserves.
“We have made 244 garments and
altered 63. Also made 13 aprons,
five feather pillows, two other pil-
lows, 11 pairs of pillowcases, paint-
ed and made 12 cuptowels, quilted
two quilts, crocheted three rugs,
five bath mats with matching tis-
sue hats, knitted five sweaters and
painted five pictures.
“In our Homestead Improvement
work we did the following:
“‘Refinished three tables, one
magazine rack, one rocking chair,
through, It’s been a pleasure to be
a club member with you’.”
All the clubs in the county will
serve lunch in the assembly room of
the courthouse on November 16.
