200 Cattle On
Six Farms Sprayed
In Three Hours
By using the power spray lent
to Matagorda County by the Lower
Colorado River Authority, J. O.
Sherrill, local councilman, reports
that over 200 cattle on six farms
at Pledger were sprayed in three
hours last Thursday morning.
Spraying started at Albert
Brandes’ place and moved on to a
farms owned by Felix Kubosh,
Jojin 'Dornak, Alvin Rolf, F. H.
Jfobbins, and Mr. Sherrill.
Demonstrations will be given in
other parts of the county this
week, County Agent Larry L. Burl-
eson reports. The purpose is to
give spraying service at an eco-
nomical rate to those who have
only a few head of cattle.
The cost is based on material
and operation, which figures eight
cents a head for mature animals
and four cents each for calves under
six months.
The farmer having his own spray
can afford to do this a little cheap-
er, Burleson says, but the one who
hires a commercial operator prob-
Blocking, Tackling
Ragged As Bay City
Loses To Alvin, 13-2
(From The Bay City News)
Coach Stapp Maxwell’s Alvin
Yollowjackets opened their 1948
season with a 18-to-2 victory over
Coach Von Rhea Beane’s Bay City
Black Cats in Alvin’s new stadium
last Friday night.
Many Bay City fans journeyed
over for the game.
Offensive stars for Alvin were
the Winston brothers, Henry and
Allen, and a boy by the name of
Plaster. One of the Winstons, a
little bitty quarterback weighing
120 pounds soaking wet, gave Bay
City backs plenty of misery with
his deadly shoe-string tackling. On
punts the mighty mite would nail
the Bay City safety before he could
get under way.
The Cats looked ragged on block-
ing and tackling, particularly
blocking. To the fans in the stands,
it looked like any Bay City ball
carrier was strictly on his own. The
line leaked badly.
The Cats hope to iron out those
mistakes in time for the Edna
clash.
Farmers And Ranchers
Planning To Improve
Their Pasture Lands
A number of farmers and ranch-
ers of Matagorda County are mak-
ing plans for putting in improved
pastures this fall, County Farm
Agent Larry L. Burleson reports
Royce Darnell of Palacios. E. L.
Balusek of El Maton, Joe Senky-
rik and .1. O. Thompson of Mark-
ham are among those who have
recently contacted the county agent
abut improving their pastures.
Mr. Thompson is planning to
put in 200 acres. He says he either
has to imptrove his pasture or sell
off part of his range cattle since
he isn’t able to lease any more
pasture land.
After he puts out 250 pounds of
20 per cent superphosphate per
acre he will plow the field in beds
or lands 30 feet, wide, running
these beds with the natural drain-
age of the field.
Mr. Thompson is planning to use
a seed mixture of eight pounds of
Dallis gress, three pounds of White
Dutch Clover, two and one-half
pounds of Bermuda seed, and four
pounds of Common Lespedeza per
acre.
In seeding he plans to use the
grass seeder or cultipacker that
the L. C. R. A. has lent to Mata-
gorda County.
“This should make an interesting
demonstration on improved pasture
if Mr. Thompson doesn’t have bad
luck in getting his grasses and
clovers established," Burleson said.
“Within a year he should have a
pasture that will tarry one animal
per acre.”
(
ably will have to pay from 12 to
16 cents a head.
“Regardless of which method
the farmer uses,” Bmrleson pointed
out, “spraying is certainly a worth-
while operation at this time of
the year.”
We Bid Farewell To Another Year Of Baseball;
Our Thanks To Those Who Made It Possible
Well, Sports, Sunday afternoon we’ll bid adieu to the
National Past-time—the grand ole game of baseball—for the
1948 season.
Manager B. E. “Shorty” Shelton will send his V. F. W.
Pirates against their long standing foes of the diamond, the
Danevang Cubs, in the third and final game of a Hug-the-
Coast championship play-off.
In bidding farewell to the game for another season we
wish to take this means of expressing our appreciation to
the members of the Lt. Wm. Lloyd Queen Post of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars for sponsoring this type of athletics.
Our belated thanks to R. T. Bozeman for serving so faithful
at the “Blind Tom” position as umpire, and the others who
served in these duties; to the players who gave of their time
for practice and games—for our enjoyment; to those who
furnished transportation for the players on out-of-town
trips; to the sponsors and managers of the Louise (Clem),
/Danevang, Taiton, Hungerford, and Bay City teams for mak-
ing this, the second year of the league, a success—you all have
been good winners and losers; and to you, fans, for yodr loyal
support and the interest you have shown.
We’ll see you at the game Sunday afternoon.

10 Dry-Lot Calves
Will Be Exhibited
At County Fair Here
The Matagorda County Fair &
Livestock Show in January will
have 10 dry-lot calves on exhibition
in addition to the calves that the
4-H and F. F. A. hoys have been
feeding since spring.
County Farm Agent Larry L.
Burleson says that Harry Bender
of Pledger is feeding out
three Hereford-Brahman cross-bred
calves, Henry Kubosh of Pledger
is feeding out two Angus-Brahman
cross-bred calves, Raymond Balu-
sek of El Maton is has three Here-
ford - Brahman cross - breds, and
Donald Shimek of Palacios has
two of the Hereford-Brahman
cross-bred calves.
Burleson says the calves went on
feed last week and will be fed in
the dry lot up until the time of
the show. They averaged 380
pounds at the time the boys bought
them.
defense. Richman plays fullback on
offense and halfback on defense.
Gayle is at center on offense and
line backer on defense. Both of
these boys are seniors playing their
last year of football for the Sharks.
Let’s keep an eye on these boys
Friday night, and you will see the
best line plunging and line-backing
on either team.
This corner is still a home town
booster and take the Sharks by a
close margin. By points.

Social Security
Cards Should Be
Taken To New Job
“Re sure the boss gets that so-
cial security number down, and
that lie gets it down correctly,"
is the suggestion to all workers
made today by Mr. S. F. Ward,
manager of the Galveston office of
the Social Security Administra-
tion. The best way to make sure
that the record is correct is to see
that you have your official social
security card with you when you
apply for a job, and when you re-
port for work the first day.
The Social Security Administra-
tion must rely upon the number in
keeping a record of your indi-
vidual account because there are
literally millions of identical names.
The only way your employer can
make complete reports to the Gov-
ernment, and thus make sure that
your account is properly kept, is
to have the information as to your
name and number. If you fail to
do your part by taking this card
with you, you may lose part or all
of the benefits that are rightfully
yours; worse, you may be depriv-
ing your family of the insurance
protection that the social security
program provides.
The Social Security Act sets up
certain requirements as to the
amount of work which is necessary
before an employee, or his family,
may become eligible for benefits.
While these requirements are lib-
eral, cases occur where a small
amount makes the difference be-
tween eligibility and non eligibility.
Social Security Administration files
show instances in which the deci-
sion hinges upon wage amounts of
$5.00 or less. A small wage pay-
ment may make very little differ-
ence in what you or your family
will receive, but it can make a
substantial difference. At any rate,
no worker can afford to take a
chance by being careless or negli-
gent in furnishing the number to
his employer.
MARKHAM MUSTANGS FAVORED
TO COP TITLE IN GRID DISTRICT 24
Crescent Blue Jays Will Be Strong;
Garwood, Louise To Be 'Weak Sisters'
Excepting Blessing, every mem.
her of District 24-B goes into six-
man football action this week.
According to Elliott Curtis, dis-
trict chairman, Garwood goes to
Lolita, Markham plays at Vander-
bilt tonight, and Crescent travels
to Van Vleck. Louise takes on a
non-district foe at Louise Friday.
All games are night games.
Curtis writes that Markham may
have the upperhand in district play
since the Mustangs have lost least
from last year’s team. Their vic-
tory over Friendswood last week,
14-8, seems to bear this out.
Crescent, starting its third year
without meeting defeat, may offer
stiff competition although the Blue
Jays have lost their speed mer-
chants.
The weak sisters, says Curtis,
should be Garwood and Louise, the
latter losing heavily hy graduation
and the eight-semester rule.
Schedule October 1: Markham
at Blessing, Crescent at Garwood,
Vanderbiblt at Louise.
