GRASS PLANTING
IN FULL SWING
An estimated acreage of over
10,000 acres will be planted in
grass i n the King-Stonewall
Soil Conservation District this
spring. Todate, 2250 acres have
v been planted. Wet weather
1) during the last of May and the
first of June have early plant-
ings up to a good stand. Weeds
are bad and a strict weed con-
trol program must be followed
t o protect seedlings. Young
stands should be sprayed with a
weed killer (2-4-D or 2-4-5-T).
As soon as the grass plants are
large enough, weeds can be
controlled by cultivation.
Due to the wet spell, the Ag-
riculture Stabilization Conser-
vation has extended the Soil
Bank deadline for planting grass
to June 30th.
A few District cooperators
who already have grass up are
Ernest Kolb, J. D. Patterson,
fkJr., Chalmers Graham, Jim An-
derson. John McNutt and Carl
Roberson.
District-owned grass seeding
equipment is now available for
rent at 35 cents per acre. Soil
Conservation Service techni-
cians assisting your District are
available to aid you with your
grass seeding problems. See
your District supervisor or S.C.S.
technicians for grass planting
information.
Time For Soil
Improving Legumes
Recent rains have given co-
operators in the District better
prospects for a good crop than
they have had in seven years.
This would be an excellent time
to start rebuilding the soils by
planting summer legumes or
making plans for planting a
winter regume. Legumes are
not only soil builders, but
also furnish supplemental graz-
ng for livestock.

DISPLACED NEEDLE IS
FOUND BY DEPARTMENT
AUSTIN, June 12. — Last
month an Austin State Hospital
physician called the State
Health Department to report that
a radium needle, being used to
treat a patient with skin can-
cer, had been dislodged or
lost. "'*1
Did the Department have ra-
diation detection equipment with
which the needle might be lo-
cated? The Department did,
and the needle was subsequent-
ly found in a gauze bandage.
This incident, one of many
that takes place every month,
illustrates the manner in which
the Department s Division of
Occupational Health, working
in cooperation with private phy-
sicians and other agencies, is
quietly going about the task of
protecting citizens from the
dangers of excessive radiation
exposures.
A great deal has been said in
recent months about the immi-
nent peril the entire nation is
facing from excessive radiation.
Much of that information has
been true, in general, but some,
of it has been misconstrued to
the point where people have
cancelled much-needed X-ray
treatments or examinations be-
cause of unjustified fear of ra-
diation exposure.
One of the states leading ra-
diologists, writing in the Texas
Medical Association Journal, has
summed up the situation by
saying that curtailment of ra-
diologic examinations would
cause a failure in diagnosis that
would result in many times the
number of deaths than would
theoretically occur from radia-
tion accumulation in the popu-
lation 20 generations from now.
There is no question but what
the various sources of radiant
energy now in use—isotope us-
age in industry and medical re-
search and the so-called "fall-
out" from nuclear weapons test-
ing—are potentially dangerous.
But the very fact that danger
exists serves as a sort of safety
valve. Persons engaged i n
peacetime use of radiation
equipment and materials, acute-
ly aware of the hazards, act
with extreme caution.
Competent physicians and den-
tists keep accurate records of
their patients radiation expos-
ure level. Wealthy foundations
should be planted now. Aus-
trian winter pears and Vetch in
September. A few cooperators
now growing legumes are Frank
Douglass. B. O. Hawkins, J. M.
Freeman, Howard Tribbey, Her-
man Letz, and E. W. Simpson.
have been set up to train tech-
nicians in the safe use of radi-
ation devices. And federal and
state governments—along with
melical, dental, and engineering
schools—have made considerable
investments of money to insure
the proper control of radiant
energy equipment.
And as a sort of clincher, the
Texas Department of Health is
one of five state organizations
which has complete regulations
regarding the registration and
proper use of all radiation-
producing equipment and ma-
terials.
So, while it is true that ever-
increasing uses of radiant ener-
gy in national defense, medi-
cine, and industry does demand
that we exercise every precau*
tion, that caution must be tem-
pered with rommon sense. Ra-
diation in controlled amounts
can b e more beneficial than
hazardous.
tains more detailed information
than its predecessors.
All streams and public lakes
of major size are shown, and
cities with a population of fifty
thousand or more are mapped
as a city inset. Color photo-
graphs on the back side of the
map pictures Texas' recreational,
industrial and landscape attrac-
tions. A running account of
Texas history and the state s
natural resources, climate, size,
recreational facilities and in-
dustries are included in the
backside information.
Greer estimated that approxi-
mately one-half of the map re-
quests each year come from
prospective out-of-state tour-
ists. "Maps are available free,"
the State Highway Engineer
commented, "and they may be
secured either by writing direct
to the Texas Highway Depart-
j ment, Austin, or to any of the
j Department's district offices or
to the Travel Information Bu-
reaus maintained by the state.'
STATE DRAFT QUOTA
FOR JULY SET AT 6«1
AUSTIN, Tex., June 10.—The
state quota for Texas limit
boards in July calls for 661 men.
Col. Morris S. Schwartz, state
Selective Service director, nidt
this week.
The state's July call of Mfr
men compares with a quota at
661 for June, 662 for May, ao*
661 for April. The July call is
the state's share of a national
call for 13.000 men.
At the same time that he an-
nounced the July quota for m-
duction. Colonel Schwartz ata>
announced a call for 3000 maw
to take pre-induction physical
and mental examinations m July.
NEW OFFICIAL HIGHWAY
MAP JUST RELEASED
AUSTIN, Tex., June 10.—The
official highway travel map of
Texas, completely redrawn to
include 450 towns not shown in
previous years, has just been
released by the Texas Highway
Department, D. C. Greer, State
Highway Engineer, announced
today. These maps are being
dispatched as rapidly as pos-
sible to fill a backlog of thou-
sands of requests, and new re-
quests are pouring in daily,
Greer said.
Inch for inch, the map —
which is possibly one of the
most widely known travelogues
of the state—gives more travel
guidance about the largest stats
in the Union than any com-
parable printed matter of such
handy size. A new cartographic
system employed to produce the
1957 map made possible the ad-
dition of 30 per cent more in-
formation. Multi-lane high-
ways, farm-to-market highways
and state and federal highways
are indicated. Key altitudes al-
so are noted, and roadside parks
as well as state parks are in-
dicated. The new map con-
