"V
Notaries Must
Qualify Again;
File Oath, Bond
Secretary of State A. M. Mul-
drow has announced that he will
reappoint all persons now holding
Notary Public commissions and'
that they must qualify by filing an
oath and bond with the county
clerk of their residence between
June 1, 1955, and June 10, 1955.
The law specifically requires
county clerks to approve Notary
bonds and individuals should not
send money or requests for com-
missions direct to the secretary of
state.
All Notary matters only can be
received by the secretary of state
after the county clerk acts there-
on.
Any person who has not hereto-
fore been a Notary Public should
apply to his county clerk between
May 1, 1955, and May 23, 1955, if
he desires to have this application
given prompt attention in the
state department, as the rush of
reappointing all old Notaries may
slow up the ordinary process of
making new appointments an<T is-
suing commissions.
Secretary of State Muldrow said,
"Each person applying for a com-
mission as a Notary Public must
be at least 21 years of age and a
resident of the county for which
he is appointed; exact names and
permanent addresses should be
given to the county cleik in ap-
plying for a commission, as loca-
tion of the Notary may be neces-
sary long after he has notarized
a particular instrument."

YIELDS PRODUCED
ON FORAGE PLOTS
Several weeks ago, the fourth
clipping harvests were made on
the Experimental Pasture Plots
located on Carl Ililtpold's farm
near Clemville. These clippings
simulate actual grazing by live-
stock. The clippings are air dried
and then the yields are calculated
on an acre basis.
The small grains and winter
annual grasses have been clipped
four times to date. December 3,
January 6, February 15 and March
15. These were planted' September
24. The unofficial yield totals to
date on the different varieties was
as follows: Travis Wheat, 5,270
lbs. per acre; Cordova Barley,
5,200 lbs; Goliad Barley, 5,160 lbs.;
an Experimental oat, 4,840 lbs.;
Atlas 66 Wheat, 4,730 lbs; another
Experimental oat, 4,600 lbs.; Ex-
perimental oat; 4,570 lbs.; Alamo
oats, 3,830 lbs.; Bronco oats, 3640
lbs.; New Nortex oats, 3,530 lbs.;
Texas 46 Rescue grass, 1,910 lbs.;
and Ryegrass, 1,450 lbs.
This part of the test was only a
variety study. All these plots were
handled the same including fer-
tilizer applications which was 30
lbs. of nitrogen and 60 lbs. of
phosphoric acid.
These listings do not constitute
the order of recommendations of
grazing crops by us of the county
agent's office. There are other fac-
tors that need to be considered in
recommending a certain variety
other than yield'. Also, one year's
tests cannot be used as a basis for
recommendation.
A nitrogen fertilizer test has
produced the following yields on
Mustang oats to date. No nitrogen,
3,280 lbs., 30 lbs. nitrogen, 4,090
lbs,; 60 lbs. nitrogen, 4,560 lbs. All
these tests received 60 lbs. of
phosphoric acid per acre. Even in
a dry season, the nitrogen addi-
tions have proven profitable.
Yields have also been made on
the 20 odd forage legumes that are
in the test. Space prohibits listing
all the yields here, but a few out-
standing differences will be report-
ed. The highest production from a
legume was obtained from Berseem
Clover, 4,270 lbs. per acre. The
New Louisiana White Dutch Clover
S-l yielded 1,190 lbs. compared to
350 lbs. for common White Dutch.
Other high yielding legumes were
Hubam, Yellow Blossom, Floranna,
Bur Clover, Louisiana S-l Red
Clover. When this test is complete,
we will publish a full report of the
results.
The test is a cooperative under-
taking by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station, The Mata-
gorda County Extension Agents,
and the cooperating farmer. Mr.
Marvin Riewe, agronomist from
the Angleton Experiment Station,
has been in charge of this research.
Anyone interested in further in-
formation is invited to contact the
Matagorda County agents.

Frank Lewis reported that he
has planted 40 acres of Angleton
bluestem on one of his pastures on
his ranch near Sargent, He said
that he had grown a good crop of
oats and clover on this field during
the fall and winter which furnished
a lot of winter grazing.Ho explain-
ed that he took the cattle off the
field a few weeks ago to allow the
oats and clover to grow out and as
the oats and clover matures it will
furnish a mulch for the newly seed-
ed Angleton grass. As part of his
conservation program, he reported
growing a good crop of Hubam
clover and Ky. Fescue on this
ranch. He went on to say that this
furnished good grazing for his
livestock and that his cattle came
through the winter in fine shape.

form stand' on all the land which
he planted last fall. He also said
that he now has a more uniform
system of levees. With the uniform
