Planting hints told
for winter annuals
For the Bluebonnet enthu-
siast, it is time now to plant
your seed for blooms next
spring. Here are some
helpful tips from the State
Horticulturist:
Late summer planting is
essential as bluebonnets are
actually winter annuals.
They germinate in late
summer, exist as a small
rosette of leaves throughout
the winter while developing
a good root system, and then
grow rapidly during the
spring rainy season to
produce acres of blue
flowers.
Many seeds are wasted
seeds feel soft.
After the treating, broad-
cast the seed on tilled soil,
cover with one-quarter to
one-half inch of soil, firm the
soil, and water. Keep the soil
moist until seedlings appear
--usually in a week to 10
days.
Once established, bluebon-
nets seed themselves year
after year provided the seed
has been allowed to mature,
grass or weeds haven't
become too thick, and there
has been sufficient rain in
July and August to soften
the seed coat. With a late
summer drought, it would be
the
to soak
bed several
assure good
advisable
bluebonnet
times to
germination.
It is usually a waste of
time to pi ant bluebonnets in
heavy dense stand of grass.
They do not like heavy
competition and will usually
be crowded out by a lush
stand of grass.
I will welcome your
comments, ideas and sug-
gestions. If you have a
favorite family recipe and
would like to share it with
readers, please send me a
copy and I will consider it for
my column.
Comptroller Bob Bullock
said Tuesday that the state
tax on mixed drinks has
generated over $156 million
in revenue for the state,
cities and counties since its
inception six years ago.
An analysis of the mixed
drink gross receipts tax was
included in the Comptroller's
August monthly financial
statement.
The monthly statement
also includes a report on a
bill pending in a Louisiana
Legislature to tax the
processing of natural gas
gathered from federal lands
in the Gulf and a guide to the
1978-79 Texas appropria-
tions act which is effective
September 1.
The mixed drink tax
analysis shows that $45.1
million of the $156 million in
revenues raised by the tax
from 1971 through 1976 went
to city and county govern-
ments for general spending,
Bullock said.
Some $23.4 million of the
revenue has gone to the 190
Texas counties that have
each year due to improper %w.%v.v.%w.v.w.*.v.v.w. m'xt'd drink establishments
planting. Just tossing the
seeds into a grassy area
along the road or in the
corner of the yard does little
else than provide expensive
food for birds.
Germination is also a
problem. Poor germination
usually occurs unless some-
thing is done to soften the
hard seed coat to allow
moisture to penetrate.
Preparing the seeds be-
fore sowing is important.
Bluebonnet seeds look and
act like pea gravel. The hard
seed covering must be
softened or scratched to
allow moisture to penetrate
and cause germination.
The often recommended
practice of puncturing the
seed with a needle or ice pick
will work, but it is rather
time consuming as well as
hard on the hands. Scratch-
ing the seed coat between
two layers of sandpaper that
have been glued to boards
will also help.
To treat large <|uanities of
seed, mix them with sand
and tumble them in a
cement mixer to scratch the
seed coat. Or, they may be
soaked in warm water (about
130 to 150 degrees F.) for a
few days, changing the
water at least daily until the

State revenues for the
first 10 months of fiscal 1977
are 13 per cent higher than a
year ago, Bullock pointed
out, while total expenditures
during the same period are 4
the
per cent ahead of
previous fiscal year.
The Comptroller said the
state closed its books at the
end of June with a $1.7
billion cash balance.
Rebels Report
within their boundaries. City
shares of the revenue for the
six-year period totaled $21.7
million.
Mixed drink permittees
are taxed at a rate of 10 per
cent of their gross receipts
from mixed drink sales. The
Comptroller's Office, on a
quarterly basis, remits to
i the counties and cities 15 per
cent of the tax collected
within their boundaries.
Bullock said his analysis
shows that Louisiana would
stand to collect $150 million
annually from the proposed
natural gas processing tax.
By comparison, he added,
Texas would get less than $5
million from a similar tax
because offshore federal gas
fields here have less
productive to date than
Louisiana's.
The August financial
statement reports that state
revenues for June totaled
$702.8 million, raising the
fiscal year-to-date total to
$5.9 billion. June expendi-
tures totaled $462.7 million,
for a fiscal year-to-date total
to $5.9 billion. June expendi-
tures totaled $462.7 million,
for a fiscal year-to-date total
of $5.5 billion.

Services were held at First
United Methodist Church,

Saturday, Sept. 3 with Rev.
Preston Adkison officiating.

Well, I guess summer is
officially over with the start
of school near and all of the
football games starting.
Vacations are over and
everyone is already planning
next year's vacation. The
summer seemed so short,
but all good things must end
sometimes.
The Rebels are still
anticipating camping out at
our Camp-N-Dance Week-
end, September 9-10-11.
Things are reallv looking ud.
and it should be a real
hum dinger of a fun week-
end. Everyone is polishing
their dancing shoes for some
real good dancing. If you
haven't gotten your reserva-
tion in be sure and do so real
soon as the spots are filling
up.
The Kovars, Dorsetts and
Rosses had a fun time
squaring it up with the
Merry Mixers a week ago
Thursday night. Cecil Dun-
man was at the mike and
made for a fun evening.
Last Saturday found the
Rebels over in the little town
of Pflugerville. A new club
held its first graduation.
They are appropriately
known as the Pfun Pfloks
and indeed that is exactly
what they are. James Oliver
(brother of our own Pat
Giesecke) is their caller and
did a terrific job for his first
big go-round. They are some
swell folks over there and we
wish them all the best. We
are looking forward to
dancing with them again as
we brought home their
banner. Those Rebels going
were the Gieseckes, Kays,
Pflugers, Abbotts, Crains,
Carlsons, Scotts, and Ko-
vars.
Tuesday night Chuck
Bryant and the Bluebonnets
made for a good, fun evening
of dancing. The Kovars,
Pflugers, Gieseckes, Rosses,
and Kayes had a very good
time. There was some
question about who should
get the banner, but after
lining up and counting off,
the Rebels did indeed come
out in possession of their
banner.
The Rebels held our dance
at home Friday night • We
were happy to have visitors
from the Merry Mixers and
Pfun Pfolks. Unfortunately
the Pfun Pfolks took home
their banner so we will have
to make an effort to go "steal
it again" real soon. Jimmy
Johnson did a terrific job at
the mike. He sure keeps us
up on all of the latest moves,
even though he has a heck of
a time trying to figure out
what we are doing some of
the time. Hang in there,
Jimmy.
The Carlsons and Pflugers
traveled to Kerrville for
some dancing and camping
this weekend. The Domin
guses were celebrating their
anniversary in a big way this
year with a special dance
Saturday night. He is a top
notch caller from Kerrville.
Clay Hoge of San Antonio
filled in for Rusty Fennell
Saturday night at the
Southside Swingers dance.
The Gieseckes, Kovars,
Rosses and Jeanne Nystrom
enjoyed the dancing very
much. They are a real fun
club to visit.
All of the Rebels were
happy to see Mary Ann
Moncure up and about at the
dance Friday night. She has
been in bed for the past
three weeks with back
problems. It was good to see
you, and everyone hopes you
will be back in the square
realsnop
The Millers, Scotts, Ross-
es and Kovars were out at
Lake Bastrop over the
weekend. The Millers were
trying out their new camper
and reported it was real
"swell".
Be sure to come dance
with us some time. We
would love to have ya.
Remember our Camp-N-
Dance weekend. See ya
around the square!

Caulking Saves
Energy and Money
Every cubic foot of cool air
that escapes to the outdoors
in summer is replaced by a
cubic foot of hot air and in
winter warm air is replace
by cold air. This simple
phenomenon is measured by
engineers as the number of
air changes per hour. This
may vary from 1/2 to 3
depending how tightly con-
structed your home is built.
It also varies depending on
weather conditions such as
stiff blowing winds.
This movement of air from
the inside to the outside
occurs through every crack
or crevice present in the
outside walls from cellar to
attic. It takes place around
the doors, windows, between
house and foundations and
all over.
Caulk can stop a great deal
of this air escape but be
careful when you caulk. If
you inspect on a warm day
many thin cracks are not
visible due to the expansion
of wood and other materials.
If you inspect on a cold day
these places are easily seen,
but a cold day is not ideal for
caulking. Sealing cracks
around doors and windows
can reduce air losses from
15-37 per cent. One good rule
is to caulk when two
different surfaces or mat-
erials join.
There are several differ-
ent caulking materials avail-
able. Buy those that fit your
specific needs. Caulking is
tedious and time consuming,
so it is best to select the
correct caulking compound
for the job and location. Be
sure to follow directions
carefully. For an information
bulletin concerning caulking
compounds and application
call 321 2184 or write P.O.
Box 650, Bastrop, Texas
78602.
