Speaking of America being a
wonderful country, I think we
do have some wonderful people
who express their views on
world affairs in a most wonder-
ful way. Such as the reporter
who writes the Philosopher’s
column about his Johnson grass
farm, and Rep. Poage reports
from Washington, which appear
in this paper. Keep up the good
work.
Mrs. Weldon Pearcy and Mrs.
Granner of Bardwell, and Mrs.
Ida Berkshire of Ennis were

This is a word of caution to
everyone about fires, it is so dry
please be careful with cigarettes
and matches. One tiny spark
can start a small fire that could
burn very fast in this dry area.
There was a huge grass and
pasture fire between Hubbard
and Penelope Friday. The Hub-
bard and Penelope Fire De-
partments were called out. Ap-
proximately 300 to 400 acres
were burned off before the fire
was brought under control. Al-
so a farm house on Jeff Prik-
Iryl’s place was completely de-
stroyed around 10 o'clock Fri-
day night. A colored family. Red
and Ollie Smith, lived there
with 2 granddaughters. They lost
everything but their TV. They
had just killed a hog and put
it in the deep freeze for the

Philosopher Amazed to Discover
Experts Think Part-Time Farming
Is Something New on American Scene
Editor’s note: The Philosopher which should have been done 19
on his Johnson grass farm on
the experts on a modern trend
in farming, his letter indicates.
Dear editar:
Sometimes you’ll find that an
expert is somebody who has just
discovered and announced what
a lot of people have known for
years.
For example, I was reading a
magazine last night which a
salesman had left out here dur-
ing the afternoon, well he didn’t
actually leave it, he dropped it
while he was trying to beat my
dog to his ear. and in it I discov-
ered a long article on the
changing trends in agriculture.
In case you’re wondering, the
salesman won.
At any rate, according to this
article, some experts have dis-
covered that the modern trend
in agriculture is toward part-
time farming.
This is what I’m talking
about. What other kind is
there?
The trend toward part-time
farming set in on this John-
son grass farm the minute I
started farming it, and I expect
it to stay that way. I could
name you some more who share
the same view.
Part-time farming’s not some-
thing new; what’s new is that
some farmers are now' working
in town, too.
Understand, farming is a full-
time job, there’s always some-
thing to do. But that’s not to
say all us farmers are always
doing it. Why right now' I’ve got
jobs staring me in the face

Research has shown that hogs
can gain 100 pounds of pork on
about 400 pounds of feed when
the temperature is 60 to 65 de-

produce a hundred pounds of
gain in 90-degree plus weather

years ago, but they’ve never
stared so hard 1 felt like I ought
to take a job in town to dodge
them.
Of course, there are some
young farmers who work in
town and still seem to get more
dane on their farms that I do
on mine, but this is a trend
which I don’t care to call at-
tention to.
The fact remains though that
part-time farming set in thou-
sands of years ago, or whenever
it was man discovered you
couldn't plow when it was wet
or hoe when the fish: were bit-
ing, and as far as I can tell the
trend is still underway.

Land Preparation
Important For
Coastal Bermuda
“Get your land ready for a
row crop, then plant Coastal!”
This is valuable one-sentence
advice for landowners intend-
ing to sprig Coastal Bermuda
grass early next year. Now is the
time to commence land prep-
aration. Here are some pointers
for success with Coastal Ber-
muda:
1. Prepare the soil clean and
smooth as though a row crop
were to be planted.
2. Plant Coastal in late winter
or early spring only when mois-
ture is favorable.
3. sprigs should be healthy
and dug just prior to planting.
The same day is best,
4. Row spacing of 36 to 40 in-
ches and a planting depth of
not over three inches every 24
to 36 inches in the row is ade-
quate for good cover. This will
require 10 to 12 bushels of sprigs
to the acre.
5. Control weeds. A rotary hoe
or spike tooth harrow are effec-
tive tools.
6. Adequate fertilizer at plant-
ing is essentia] for fast cover
of the grass. Use a soil test. For
instance, an application of
40-40-0 should be placed in the
row' slightly below the sprigs in
the Blacklands.
7. On established Coastal, fer-
tilize with nitrogen and phos-
phorus in mid-April. The fer-
tilizer will benefit the Coastal,
not the early weeds. Eash time
the forage is grazed or cut for
hay. apply another 40 to 80
pounds of nitrogen to the acre
until September.
Annually lightning causes
about $30 million damage and
hundreds of deaths. Correct
lightning rod svstems, with
proper interconnection of metal
objects, can protect buildings
and their occupants.
Records show that the first
mass was said at Dolores Mis-
sion, in what is now San Fran-
cisco, five days before the
signing of the Declaration of
Independence.
