Eric N. Culver, who operates a
farm south of Wadsworth, reports
' hat he has started clearing brush
from his bottom land pastures to
get the area in condition for grow-
ing grass. He said that with the
t*over of brush he is not growing
much grass on this good land. He
went on to explain that on an area
where brush had been cleared be-
fore, he now is growing a good
cover of grass which is furnishing
good grazing for his livestock. He
explained that he is using a shred-
der for clearing the smaller brush
and briars and that he plans to use
a bull dozer to clear larger brush
and trees and also to level up his
ground.

report that they have seeded a part
of their pasture to Hubam clover to
improve the soil condition of their
pasture land. They explained that
the soil was tight and crusty and
they planted the Hubam to open up
the soil and also to add nitrogen to
promote the growth of summer
grasses. They have also planted
Hubam on a part of their cropland
for soil improvement.
Mrs. Theresa Bures of Midfield
is a new cooperator with the Ma-
tagorda Soil Conservation District.
With the assistance of the Soil
Conservation Service Technician,
she has planned a soil improvement
and management plan for her in-
troduced grass pastures and a
range management plan for her na-
tive grass pasture.
L. W. Chappell, owner and opera-
tor of a farm north of Midfield,
reported that he has fertilized and
seeded Ilubam dover on a 90 acre
rice stubble field. He said that the
clover is growing off nicely. He
stated that he has a good stand of
Bermuda on the field and by grow-
ing a good crop of Hubam clover
to open up the soil and add nitrogen
to the soil he can count on good
Bermuda grass sod next summer
for soil conditioning and furnish
good grazing for his livestock dur-
ing the rice interval.

Gerierous Response
To TB Seal Sale
First returns from Christmas
Seal letters mailed to residents of
Matagorda County have been very
generous, according to Mrs. D. M.
Rimmer, executive secretary.
Although only a small percent-
age of people have sent in their re-
turns, Mrs. Rimmer said, she ex-
pected public response to be even
more generous than in past years.
The Seal Sale will continue through
January.
“The association plans a TB case'
finding program for 1954, a’s usual’’
the secretary reported. “Medical re-
search is discovering even better
means of curing this tragic disease,
and we must increase our efforts
to find all the people with TB so
that they can be treated and cured.”
Jackson County Soil
Conservation News
Arnold H. Hartfiel, whose farm
is located approximately four miles
north of Uanado, recently became a
District Cooperator. Hartfiel plans
to seed about 35 acres of Hubam
clover chiefly for soil improvement.
It is his plan to allow the Hubam
to go to seed and get a volunteer
crop next fall. This crop will then
be followed by an adapted improv-
ed pasture mixture.

The Industrial Consolidated In-
dependent School District of Van-
derbilt also signed a cooperative
agreement with the Jackson Soil
Conservation District. Norvel Mc-
Cauley, Vocational Agricultural
teacher along with the local FFA
chapter, will operate the farm. A
portion of the farm has been seed-
ed to Hubam clover mainly for soil
improvement. It is also planned to
seed approximately eight acres to

Conservation plans with the Jack-
son Soil Conservation District were
signed recently by J. .1. Volek, J. F.
Kusak, and August Sacky of the
La Salle Community. These farm-
ers were assisted by Soil Conserva-
tion Service technicians in obtain-
ing engineering information to de-
termine the dranage needs Of their
farms. The proposed changes in row
direction and construction of the
drainage ditches will be done at
later dates.
J. J| Volek is planning on con-
structing a “W” type ditch on his
farm to drain a low area in one of
his fields. Volek states that this
low causes him to delay his plow-
ing several days, because of the
wetness. Construction will begin on
this “W” as soon as equipment is
available and when weather per-
mits. Also Volek is planning on
planting approximately five acres
of Angleton bluestem next spring.
He is well pleased with the results
he has obtained in grazing it in the
past.

Appeal Made For
Funds To Fight TB
An appeal to aid in the local
fight against tuberculosis has been
made by Mrs. J. J. Harbison, chair-
man of the local drive.
Palacios has reported seven more
cases this year than the total of 21
for 1952, according to Mrs. Harbi-
son. The county wide goal has been
set at $4,000 which will be obtained
through the sale of spangles, pins
and stamps. Local workers will be
on Main street on Saturdays, De-
cember 12 and 19 to obtain collec-
tions, Mrs. Harbison said. Eighty-
two per cent of the money collected
here will remain in Palacios to
fight TB. Coin boxes have also been
placed in business houses through-
out the city.
The drive closes Christmas Day.

COTTON FARMERS DON’T FAIL
TO VOTE ON DECEMBER 15
Next Tuesday, December 15,
from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., polls
will be open at six places in Ma-
tagorda County for the purpose of
voting on 1954 marketing quotas.
The polls will be open at the fol-
lowing places in the county:
Bay City—PMA office, Lewis
Bldg.; Pledger — School House;
Cedar Lane—Estill Store; Bless-
ing—Community House; Wads-
worth—Community House; Pala-
cios—City Hall.
Be sure and express your choice
—and urge your neighbor to ex-
press his. Remember, you are not
voting on acreage allotments as
such, but on marketing quotas.
You will get acreage allotments
regardless of how this election
turns out.
If 2/3 or more of all cotton pro-
ducers voting approve marketing
quotas nation-wide, acreage con-
trols will be compulsory, and you,
as a producer, will be eligible for
90% support prices if you comply
with your allotment. In this case,
if you knowingly overplant your
allotment, you must pay a penalty
of 50% parity prices on your excess
planted acreage before .vou will be
issued a marketing card and can
sell any of your cotton.
If marketing quotas do not pass,
then acreage controls are volun-
tary, and if you comply with your
allotment, you would be eligible to
60% of parity price on your crop.
If you overplant, you could not ob-
tain any type of support.
Consider these choices—make up
your mind—and then be sure to
vote.
ing and drying up, set ends of stems
in a solution of two parts glycerine
and one part water. As this liquid
is absorbed by the stems, add plain
water when necessary. After about
three weeks the branches should be
pretty well saturated and require
no additional water unless, of
course, they are in a very warm
temperature. This is effective with
magnolia and other leaves.
PAINTING CAT-TAILS
First allow products to dry
thoroughly then dip in a solution
of one half shellac and one half
wood alcohol. This will dry in
about 15 minutes, then paint with
ordinary oil tube paints and sprin-
kle with Bronze powder which may
be had at any art or paint store.
You may use the Bronze powder
any color, with the Bronze liquid,
and have beautiful effects. These
cat-tails will not burst or shatter.
WHAT TO PLANT ON LAND
LEFT OVER FOLLOWING
COTTON ALLOTMENTS?
Cotton acreage allotments have
been most severe as we full well
realize. Many people have discuss-
ed this problem with us in an effort
to try to find out how they may
best use their land that can’t be
planted to cotton. There are sev-
eral other crops that might be
planted, but since we know that
cotton farmers all over the state are
turning to other crops also, the
market on these, although promis-
ing now, might be very poor be-
cause of this fact.
If you have such a problem we
would be glad to discuss it with
you.
Planting a good portion of this
laid out land in a soil improving
crop, we feel, is one of the best
uses that can be made of this re-
tired acreage. Such a crop as hu-
ham dover can also be planted in
the spring. If seeded with some
type of perennial grass, 50% of the
cost of fertilizer and the seed can
be obtained through the 1954 Agri-
cultural Conservation Program.
Lasting soil improvement is always
a good investment. Returns will
come back to you many times
through increased production in
years following such a practice.
NOW IS THE TIME TO START
CATTLE GRUB CONTROL
Cattle grubs (or ox warbles) are
now beginning to appear on the
backs of cattle. The best time to
control these grubs is when they
first appear as tiny lumps under
the skin or on animal’s backs.
Rotenone is recommended for con-
trol. Use 7% pounds of 5% rote-
none in 100 gallons applied as a
spray under 200 lbs. or more pres-
sure. On small numbers of cattle,
rotenone dust may also be used.
Three ounces of dust should be
worked thoroughly into the hair^on
the animal’s back. Control should
be repeated every 30 days for about
three or four times.

CRANBERRY CAPERS
Cranberry sauce and roast tur-
key are traditional go-togethers
just like ham and eggs. But don’t
wait for Christmas dinner to enjoy
the tangy cranberry flavor.
A tart cranberry relish ran
spruce up most any meat you serve.
It’s easy to make. . . simply put
one orange. . . both the rind and
the pulp. . . through your food
chopper. Blend one pound of cran-
berry sauce with the orange. . .
and your relish is all made. Let it
stand in the refrigerator for an
hour or so before serving time.
BUTTER SPREADS
Use butter mixed with other in-
gredients for interesting spreads
in family meals and lunches.
Creaming the butter or margarine
first makes it easier to add the fla-
vor you desire.
For instance, in making Lemon
Butter Spread, cream a fourth cup
of butter or margarine and add a
half to one tablespoon lemon juice,
a few gratings lemon rind and a
dash of salt. If desired, orange rind
and juice can be substituted.
For other spreads use nuts, pars-
ley, garlic, onion and orange juice
and brown sugar.
