Lime Spreading Demonstration
A lime spreading demonstration
was held in Wichita county Thursday,
June 13, on the J. S. Downing place,
4Vi miles N. E. of Wichita Falls on
the lower Charlie road. Arrangements
had been made for two specially equip-
ped trucks to spread the agricultural
limestone on cropland and some four
or five tons were used in the demon-
stration. The rate of application ap-
plied was approximately one ton per
acre.

were farmers and ranchers from the
following counties: Archer, Wichita.
Clay, Montague, Wise, Jack and
Young.
Development of a liming program
is well under way in Archer county
with orders placed for ten or eleven
cars. The actual spreading will start
within the next two or three weeks.
Farmers and ranchers that are in-
terested in applying this limestone to
either cropland or pastureland are
urged to place their orders now in
order that the limestone may be ob-
tained while the equipment is avail-
able for spreading.
Fair Price for Austrian Winter Peas
The fair prices for three classes
of Austrian winter peas under the
purchase order plan were set as fol-
lows:
No. 1, germination 90% or better,
$6.25 cwt.
No. 2, germination 80% to 89 ,c,
inclusive, $6.05 cwt.
No. 3, germination 70% to 79%,
inclusive, $5.55 cwt.
The practice payment rates under
the 1947 program have not yet been
established but it is thought at this
time that the payment rate will be
the same as the cost of the seed.
A carload of seed has been order-
ed for distribution to Archer county
producers and should be available in
the county on or about July 1. Or-
ders should be placed through the
AAA office if the purchase order plan
is used to secure seed.
Southwest Archer County to
Build Additional Tanks
The dry weather has brought on
an increased demand for tanks in
the southwest part of the county, as
reflected by the filing of some 12 to
14 applications by farmers and ranch-
ers during the past two weeks. As a
result, machinery has already been
moved to the Megargel area to take
care of the need for tanks.
Farmers and ranchers that plan to
work under the Triple A program are
urged to make their requests as early
as possible in order that a prelimi-
nary survey can be made and prior
approval can be granted.
King Ranch Pasture Experiment
The King ranch pasture experiment
which was instigated in 1941 to de-
termine the value of beef cattle, of
superphosphate applied to native pas-
ture. has shown some very convincing
results. These results were explained
in detail to a group of 85 farmers,
ranchers, and AAA official by L. 11-
Task of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry. Attending from Archer
countv were Jess Prideauxi, Dan
Powell, C. W. Wilhoit and Bob Crock-
this group. The cattle which grazed
solely on native pastures developed
rickets, a disease commonly called the
“creeps.” They were much less pro-
lific than the group grazing on the
fertilized pasture. The reason for
their lack of productivity lay in the
fact that after the first calving the
phosphorus in their skeletons had be-
come practically depleted.
The tests further showed that over
a 10-year period at least one calf crop
advantage could be gained with the
application of the fertilizers.
In the tests, with the exception of
those grazing on the fertilized pas-
ture, each cow of the five groups
was allotted 15 acres. Those on the
fertilized pastures grazed 10 acres
to the head. It was found that the
check group produced 80 pounds of
beef per acre; groups two and three,
110 pounds; group four, 108 pounds,
and group five, 150 pounds.
