Mr. and Mrs. Pius Goertz,

Dear Mr. and.Mvs. Goertz:
i It is a real pleasure to inform
you that your son Delphert has
been advanced from the rate of
fireman apprentice to fireman
while serving with me aboard the
BON HOMME RICHARD.
It always gives me a feeling
of pride to find such conscien
■ tious men as your son serving
■ our country as members of the
Naval Service.
I It, take.- initiative, a strong
character, ambition and a great
deal of good honest .studying to
train for the increased respon-
sibilities that go with an advance
ment in rate.
Delphert has probably told
you that the BON HOMME Rl
CHARD has recently returned
fioni her second tour of duty in
Korean waters. We are at pre-
sent conducting training op
erations off the California!!
coast during the week and re-
turning to San Diego for the
weekend. I can assure you that
everything is being done to make
these carrier pilot qualifications
as pleasant and as safe as possi-
ble for your son and his ship
mates.
We in the Navy are proud of
our service and of the men who
serve with us. Your son Del-
phert has an important role to
play in our country's national
defense and is doing a fine job.
1 know you are proud of him,
and let me say again that we
are happy to have him with us.
Sincerely,
I\ W WATSON

NOTES ON SOIL
CONSERVATION
(Front the office of the Bas
trop Fayette Soil Conservation
District)
During the past week, A. B.
Ward became a district coopera-
tor with the Bastrop-Fayette
Soil Conservation District. His
150 acre farm is located about
5 miles east of Rosunky. Ward
has considerable amount of out
side water coming on his place;
he plans to construct waterways
to remedy this situation. The
waterways will be seeded with
Angleton Bluetsem grass. This
grass is a tall growing grass
that will provide a considerable
amount of forage and also a
mat to prevent erosion. The
shaping of the waterway will be
done with the county equipment.
Ward became interested in
Buffel grass last year, and plant-
ed a small plot. He saved the
send from this plot and plans
to increa.se the plantings thi>
spring by planting two rows of
grass and leaving two rows
blank. These blank rows will be
planted to hubam clover this
fall.
George Parish, also of Rosan-
k.v, plans to plant buffel grass
on about 20 acres of cleared land.
He plans to clear an additional
wooded area and establish pas-
ture grass on it.
Johnny Beck, whose farm is
in the Rockne comumty, is won-
dering how is the best way to
turn under a crop of winter peas.
Technicians of the Soil Conser-
vation Service helped Beck mea-
sure the amount of cover he had
on his lend on the 12th day of
February. At that time there
were 5 tons of peas per acre.
17 days later, this amount had
increased to 10 to 1.> per acre.
Beck is of the opinion that this
cover crop will go a long way in
restoring the organn matter con
tent of the soil.
It seems that livestock differ
in the kinds of vegetation they
prefer to eat. Lonnie Yoast, of
Cedar Creek, is looking for a
method to increase the acreage
of a plant commonly called run
niiig mallow, because his cattle
relish the stuff.
S. B. Smith, who lives on the
Austin Highway, is looking for
j a practical method of destroy-
| ing the same plant because he
j considers it a pest and his live-
stock will not eat it. This holds
l true with other plants. Walter
Rosanky reported his livestock
would not eat the K. R. Bluestcm
he planted on his place south of

Don't let your wash days turn into "flu" days.
If there's natural gas service in your home, you can put an end
to the old clothes-line drudgery with an
automatic gas clothes dryer. Natural gas serves the
modern home in so many ways that we think you'll agree it's
worth every cent it costs . . . and then some. It's the
biggest bargain in your home today.
