After reading
Uncle Claude did a fine column
for me last week. I read it when
I returned home. It felt good to
be on the reading end for a
change.
It's good to be back home, after
two weeks summer training with
my Special Forces Army Reserve
unit. We operated from Camp
Williams, located about 30 miles
southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Our night prachute Jump was con-
ducted across the highway from
the famous Bonnevilk ~ilt Flats,
at the Utah-Nevada state line. As
might be expected, you don't see
too well during your descent
when jumping at night. When I
landed. I tasted the ground to
make sure I had landed in the
right area. Sure enough, it was
bout the same stuff I get from
the salt shaker every day.
Monday of the second week we
moved into the mountains along
Snake Creek, for a week of guer-
rilla operations. We returned to
Camp Williams Friday afternoon.
It's good to be back!
Soil testing
Early soil sampling is encourag-
ed to avoid the fall rush that
crowds our laboratory at Lubbock.
Now is the time to have your
soil tested in preparation for fall
planting.
Information on soil testing and
instructions on the method of
taking and submitting soil sam-
ples can be obtained at my office.
Local 4-H livestock show
Plans are now being made for
our local 4-H Steer Show and the
County Sears 4-H Swine Show,
both of which will be held in
September.
So far I have not received
word as to which day of the Tri-
State Fair the Sears Store Area
Swine Show will be held.
As plans materialize, club mem-
bers involved will be notified.
Care of shade trees
Fertilization of shade trees on
home grounds provides proper nu-
trients for better resistance to
disease and insect attacks.
Trees on home grounds cannot
benefit from nutrients supplied by
falling leaves and branches as do
trees in the wild, because these
materials are usually raked up.
Lawn grasses also use up valuable
nutrients available for trees.
Therefore it is important to
meter four and one-half feet a-
bove the ground, should not be
fertilized. Others may be fertiliz-
ed at a rate of one pound per
inch of tree trunk diameter mea-
sured at the same height. Less
the letter, the
committee member looked at his
fellow members and said, "Well,
what do you -think? Shall we
hire him?" The others were aghast.
Hire an unhealthy, touble-mak-
ing absent-minded, ex-jailbird?
Was the man who read the letter
fertilizer should be used if a por- crazy? Who was the applicant
ition of the tree roots are covered
by pavement or sidewalk.
Apply the fertilizer in one-inch
holes started at least two feet
away from the tree trunk out to
about two feet beyond the limb
spread. Holes should be spaced a-
bout two feet apart and 12 to 10
inches deep.
Place an amount of fertilizer
equal to the volume of a small
concentrated fruit juice can in
each hole and fill it with water.
One or two good waterings about
10 days apart after fertilizing will
help.
Whether or not you fertilize,
occasional watering will be help-
ful, especially during prolonged
dry periods.
Bindweed control
The recent moisture we receiv- but it goes wild at rock n
ed has prompted many wheat pro- numbers.
anyway? Who would have such
colossal nerve? "Oh," said the
man who had read the letter, "It's
just signed, 'The Apostle Paul'."
Dancing flowers?
Wonder if any local flower
raiser has had the following ex-
perience. If so let me know. But
The Texas Parade magazine says:
Dancing flowers are unusual,
even in Texas, but a La Porte
housewife has a Hoya plant that
swings, sways and wiggles to
music.
Mrs. Genie Rester first discov-
ered the plant's fondness for mus-
ic last spring when she turned on
the radio one day and the Hoya
slowly turned its main shoot to-
ward the sound. The plant still

fields that will be seeded in
wheat.
If you care to use Tritac, a dry-
type soil sterilant, the 4-H Clubs
maintain a supply for sale at the
Farm Bureau office. In most cases
they can loan you a hand spread-
er if you need one.
Cost-share assistance is avail-
able through the County ASCS
office.
Enjoy 30-day
trip in east
Mr. and Mrs. James Neighbors
and family recently returned from
a 30 day trip which carried them,
first, to Columbus, Ohio, where
they visited friends, then to Ful-
ton, N.Y., visiting her mother,
then to Nigara Falls and over
into Canada, back down by Ev-
ansville, Ind., where they enjoyed
a family reunion and then on to
Bowling Green, Ky. and on home.
They reported a wonderful trip.
