COUNTY AGENT'S REPORT
4-H Club Members, Adults
Attend Field Day June 18
(By Floyd V. Key)
Four Bosque County 4-H Club
members and two adults attended
the Texas Junior Hereford Associa-
tion Field Day at the Hall Nance
Ranch at Haslet on Thursday, June
18. Those attending from Bosque
County were Bennie Hanson, Glen
Hanson, and Kenneth Hanson of
Cranfllis Gap and Douglas Sonn-
tag, Paul C. Murphey, Jr., and
the County Agent from Meridian.
The Field Day was a success with
over MO people attending. There
were 42 Junior judging teams en
tered in the livestock judging con-
test. The 4-H club members from
Bosque County entered the con-
test and did well but failed to
place in the top five teams.
The program for the day con-
sisted of the judging contest; fol-
lowed by an explanation of the
official placing* and then a bar-
becue lunch furnished by the Hall-
Nance ranch. Following lunch a
program was held on the Texas
BOOKS ARB RRVIEWCO
AT TLCW MEETING JUNE •
Trinity Lutheran Church Wo-
men had its last regular meeting
In the church Fellowship Hall on
Monday, June 8, with the Lydia
Circle members serving as hostess-
es.
The program began with the
singing of “God’s Word Is Our
Greai Heritage”. Since the theme
of the program was "Our Good
Friends—The Books”, members of
the Library Committees were asked
to take part in the program with
Mrs. B. P. Holt acting as chairman.
For devotional Mrs. T. J. Wig-
gins read “I Read a Book", which
was followed with prayer.
Personals
Mrs. 3. B. Mathews, of Route 3,
Valley Mils, became a medical
patient in the Clifton hospital on
June 18.
Lynette Westerfield, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Westerfield,
of Route 1, Crawford, was a medi-
cal patient in the Clifton hospital
from June 22 until June 24.
Mrs. Albert Polnack Sr., of Route
1, Meridian, presently is receiving
medical attention in the Clifton
hospital, which she entered on
June 22.
T. C. Gardner, of Route 2. Cle-
burne, who entered the Clifton
Mrs. 0. E. Pierson introduced hospital for medical care on June
and acquainted the members with 22, was able to return home June
the church library. She stated that 24.
a card file had been started with !
MY MOTHER and I, and our fa-
milies, who have been so close to
the Record for so many years, will
continue to take a real interest
in its welfare, and we encourage
each of you to assist the new own-
ers in keeping it a strong institu-
tion. It is the editor’s firm con-
viction that a good weekly paper
is one of the main spokes in the
wheel that determines whether a
town grows or decays. You will
soon know the new editors, but it
will take them longer to absorb
the names, faces, and history of
the community; give them a hand.
We know you will, as you have con-
tinually assisted us — and gen-
erously forgiven our errors.
OUR CITY police chief tells the
editor that 70% of Clifton’s ac-
cidents this past year occurred
at intersections with stop signs—
and that most of those involved
in the accidents were over 35 years
of age. Looks like us “oldtimers”
are going to have to keep our
minds on correct driving. The chief
also reminds business owners that
289 store doors were left unlocked
during the last 12 months.
THE SUMMER baseball program
reached its halfway mark this
week. Several of the teams are
doing real well in their respective
leagues, with at least a 50-50
chance of winning if they can con-
tinue their fine play.
STRONGER CATTLE prices the
past two weeks have been encour-
aging to the folks of this area.
Livestock is the backbone of our
community business; and when the
price follows a slow downward
movement as it has for the past
year, then everyone suffers — es-
pecially the small cattleman far-
mer of our area. The improved
prices brought to market better
than 1,000 head of cattle in Clif-
ton Wednesday of this week.
PERSONALS
Entering the Clifton hospital for
medical attention on June 22 was
Mrs. Lillie Jones, of Gatesville.
Mrs. Roy Adcock, of Odessa,

and Saturday with their son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John
B Parks.
Junior Hereford Association, a
feed demonstration, a grooming
and showing demonstration,
and a selecting show prospects
talk. The program was good, and
the 4-H Club members from the
county received a good lesson from
the judging contest and program.
Watering Instructions
Most gardeners fail to realize
that plants do not make very ef
ficient use of the water that is
available to them. Practically all
the water that is absorbed by the
roots of the plants is given off into
the atmosphere again through the
leaves. This water loss has much
to do with the growth and develop-
ment of the plants.
The primary consideration in
determining how to water the gar-
den is to determine how and when
to apply the water so that the loss
or waste of water can be avoided
and plants can receive the maxi-
mum benefit.
There are two simple ways to
determine when lawn grasses need
water. Just before grass reaches
the wilting stage, it becomes dark
in color. When it is dry, it will
show footprints that will be slow to
spring back into place.
In general several practices are
recommended that can be follow-
ed that will not only conserve wa-
ter but that will promote better
plant growth.
The entire volume of the soil
should be watered thoroughly and
light; frequent applications should
be avoided. Keep a record of the
applications, and lengthen the in-
tervals as much as possible. Plants
should be watered only when they
actually need it. Perhaps the worst
practice is the adoption of a regu
iar watering schedule. Watering
should be delayed until drouth
symptoms can actually be seen.
When watering, the root zone of
be soaked thor-
the hope that it can be completed
in the near future. The file should
simplify the finding of needed ma-
terials.
Three of the TLCW books,
“Happy Is The Man”, “I Keturah”,
and “Mountain Doctor”, were re-
viewed in an interesting manner
by Mesdames P. Joe Dahl, Odie C.
Pederson, and B. P. Holt.
Mrs. Charles R. Smith discussed
the church periodicals and re-
minded persons present that the
book of books is the Bible.
“Thank you” notes were read
from several of the 1964 Clifton

the plants should
oughly. Watering should than be
discontinued until the drying sym-
toms appear again. Infrequent, e-
ven, and slow water applications
encourage deep root growth, not
only on grass but on all garden
plants. This assists plants in resist-
ing drouth conditions. Frequent,
shallow waterings result in shallow
root systems on plants which have
no drouth resistance. This results
in a waste of water as well as
leaving plants susceptible to
drouth.
The amount of water required
to soak any given volume of soil
will, of course, vary with the type
of soil, the depth of the root zone,
and the efficiency of application.
A word of caution regarding the
use of low cost “bargain” garden
hoses. Most low-priced materials
are 3/8 inch in diameter, and wat-
ering with them is very time-con-
suming. It must be remembered,
however, that there is no advan-
tage in using a garden hose sny
larger in diameter than the diame-
ter of the pipe that supplies the
water.
