Lamb, wool producers to vote
Lamb and wool producers will have
an opportunity during an Aug. 18-29
referendum to vote on whether they
want the American Sheep Producers
Council Inc., to continue its market
promotion and improvement pro-
gram on their behalf.
According to Milton Hertz, Acting
Administrator of the .U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture’s Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Ser-
vice, the agreement to be voted on is
similar to one approved in 1982, ex-
cept it would authorize deductions of
up to six cents per pound on shorn
wool and 30 cents per hundredweight
on unshorn lambs marketed in 1986.
Deductions from producer incen-
tive payments for 1982 through 1985
were a four cents and 20 cents respec-
tively, said Hertz.
Hertz also stated the new agree-
ment would permit USDA to withold
part of any wool incentive payments
that might be made to producers on
1987-90 marketings to finance the
council's promotion activities.
He said deductions would be used
by the council to finance advertising
and sales promotion programs for
wool and lamb and programs to
develop and disseminate information
on product quality, production
management and marketing im-
provement for wool and Jieep.
ASCS county offices will distribute
copies of the agreement and ballots to
sheep producers in early August.
Producers may cast their ballots by
mailing or delivering them in person
to county ASCS offices by the close of
the referendum, Hertz said.
Anyone who has owned sheep six
months old or older for at least 30 con-
secutive days during 1985 may vote.
Votes may be cast by individuals or
by cooperatives.
Members of cooperatives which
cast votes would not be eligible to
vote separately in the referendum.
The agreement requires approval by
two-thirds of the total volume of pro-
ducers, or two-thirds of the total
volume of production represented in
the referendum.
The National Wool Act of 1954 pro
vides the authority for deductions and
for promotion activities
Sheep producers have approved the
program in each of the eight referen-
dums held since 1954. In the most re-
cent referendum, 1982,72.6 percent of
the producers approved the program
Parents and 4-H'ers, if you haven’t
thought about it, now is the time to be
thinking about livestock projects for
the upcoming fall.
Tag in for this year’s county show
for hogs, lambs and dairy heifers will
be Oct. 25. This date will be upon us
before you know it. So, if you’re plan-
ning to show one of these types of
animals you need to start thinking
about what type of animal you would
like to show, what kind of facilities
you have to provide for this animal.
I’ve had several calls from people
who have quality animals to show. If I
can be of assistance in helping you
select or determine the type of pro-
ject you would like to show at our
county show in January, give me a
call or stop by the office. I will be glad
to assist you in any way possible.
Also, I would like to send out a word
to the 4-H’ers who show steers and
heifers. Heel fly season is over and
now is the time we need to be treating
our beef animals for grub control for
the upcoming fall and spring
There are several types of control
methods that can be used for grubs.
They range from pour-ons to dust and
sprays to injectible forms that will
also control internal parasites I
would caution any 4-H’er who is
thinking of using a spray that it is
hard to gauge bow much of the
medicine you are applying to the
animals.
One other word of caution to 4-H’ers
who may be getting ready to control
grubs in their beef projects, is if you
do chooee to use the injectibie form of
grub control, this is a subcutaneous
injection.
It can be applied anywhere on the
animal, as long as it is under the skin.
The reason I’m going into detail on
this injectible, it has been known to
cause a knot on the animal where the
injection is made.
So, from this we need to learn to
make the injection on these show
animals in a place that will be the
least noticeable if a know was to arise
from the injection. ^
My suggestion would be to give the
shot in the left foreflank of the
animal, behind the front leg. This
way, if a knot does arise from the in-
jection it will be in the least
noticeable place possible for show
animals
If I can be of any assistance in help-
ing you with a decision on doctoring
your animals, give me a call. We
definitely need to have this done dur-
ing the month of August
Sharp coaches at Howard Payne
Michael Sharp, son of Mr. and Mrs.
H.C. Sharp of Dublin, will be joining
the Howard Payne University foot-
ball coaching staff, effective Aug. 1,
announced Jerry Millsapps, men’s
athletic director and head football
coach at Howard Payne.
Sharp will be leaving Big Spring
High School where he as been since
1982 as the varsity football defensive
coordinator.
A native of Dublin, Sharp
graduated in 1974 from Dublin High
School where he was on the varsity
football team three years. He was
team captain, most valuable offen-
sive player, and was 1973 all-district
quarterback.
He also was on varsity basketball,
track, golf and tennis teams. In
basketball, Sharp was team captain
and 1974 all-district honorable men-
tion. He was district tennis singles
champion in 1974.
Sharp has received two degrees
from Tarleton State University. He •
received a bachelor of science in
health, physical education and
recreation in 1978 and a master of
education, with emphasis on physical
education in 1964.
Although he has not coached at the
college level and did not participate
in college sports, Sharp has a strong
background in several high school
sports and in coaching both at the
high school and junior high level.
In addition to serving as defensive
coordinator for the Class 5-A varsity
football team, he was assistant golf
coach for two years and head golf
coach for one year.
A Question...
When was the last time a New Yorker
sent money to pay for your local schools?
Never, of course.
We Texans pay our own way with state and local taxes.
And yet. this year alone, Texans will send $3 billion to New York, California and
New Jersey and even Hong Kong.
That money will leave Texas in the form of mail orders for all kinds of merchandise.
Not one penny of Texas sales tax will be collected. And so, not one penny of sales
tax will come back to Texas to help pay for our schools, highways, parks, hospitals
and colleges.
No. you and your local merchants will pay for them. Don’t you think it’s time you
had a little help'.’ About $100 million in help'.’
$100 million. That’s the minimum additional Texas sales tax due on mail orders
going outside our state. That will pay for a lot of schools.
The Congress is now considering requiring big national mail order firms to collect
the sales tax and send it to the states, including that $100 million a year to Texas.
^ «
In other words, Congress can make these national mail order operators play- and
pay--by the same rules our hometown merchants.do.
Your congressman needs to hear from you. He needs to know that you think local
merchants deserve fair treatment and fair competition.
Please write today. Tell your congressman you support a mail order sales tax bill.
In 1978-79, Sharp was with the Class
A Lometa LSD where he was assistant
varsity football coach, handling of-
fensive and defensive lines, receivers
and defensive ends.
He also served as head junior high
football coach, head boys varsity and
junior high basketball coach, head
golf and tennis coach
From 1979 until he went to Big Spr-
ing, Sharp was with the Class AA
Albany LSD. He was assistant varsity
football coach, handling at various
times both the offensive and defen-
sive lines, as well as the receivers
At the tune he left Albany, he was
head coach for junior varsity football,
varsity boys basketball and golf. He
also had been assistant varsity track
coach and head coach for junior var-
sity track

Most areas of the county are ex-
tremely dry and because of this many
homeowners are watering their
lawns
I have seen a number of individuals
who may be hurting their lawns more
than helping them by the method they
are using when watering
Also, many could reduce their
water bills by water properly By
watering, fertilizing and mowing
your lawn properly, you can reduce
your water bill as much as 40 percent
during the summer months
Here are some tips on getting the
most from irrigation water so as to
keep plants and lawns healthy while
keeping water coats down
Practice slow, deep watering to
allow roots to penetrate deeper so
that plants become more stress-
resistant
Soaker hoses and dnp irrigation
systems work well on trees and
shrubs It’s more efficient to water at
night or early in the morning because
evaporation is less However, night-
time water can promote more disease
problems
County
Agent Report
Too much water can be as
detrimental or even worse than not
enough The rate at which water is
applied should be no more rapid than
the rate at which the soil can absorb
it.
Never fertilize landscae plants
when soil is dry' It's best to water the
area one day, apply fertilizer the next
day. and then water again Fertilizer
will do no good unless it is dissolved
and moved down into the soil
Shrubs and trees near foundations,
under eaves or on southern and
western exposures need frequent
watering because they often get leas
benefit from rainfall and have to deal
with heat reflected from walls
Plants on mounds or slopes suffer
from drought stress more easily than
those on level areas, so these require
more frequent watering
Use an organic mulch of pine bark,
chopped straw, hay or similar
material to reduce irrigation needs
Treat water as a valuable resource
Use it to water plants when needed
but do not waste water
