Rains have helped
but moisture stilt lost
Rains during the past
week have helped the spirits
of producers but moisture is
still extremely short over the
entire area.
Gardening activities
should be increasing in East
Texas. Dr. Terry Menges,
area horticulturist for the
Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, says that a soil
test is the first step in good
gardening. For the home
gardener, families should
decide which vegetables
they will eat and plant accor-
dingly. Seed of recommend-
ed varieties may be purchas-
ed from local sources or
ordered from seed com-
panies.
County agents throughout
East Texas have gardening
guides available / free of
charge. These guides show
the recommended varieties,
planting dates, days to
harvest and the amount of
seed to plant for each family
member.
In preparing the garden
site^Menges suggests broad-
casting five to eight pounds
of agricultural limestone
and two to three pounds of a
complete fertilizer such as
12-12-12 per 100 square feet.
If compost is available, work
the compost into the soil to a
depth of eight to twelve in-
ches.
When planting seed, put
down enough, Menges says.
It is better to thin later than
have a poor stand. When
buying transplants, make
sure they are healthy and
free of insects and disease.
Buy onion plants about the
size of a pencil, not the great-
big ones.
Screwworms are threat to
Texas livestock producers
AUSTIN- Despite great
strides in eradication of
screwworms this past year,
that pest will continue to be a
very real threat to Texas
livestock producers, Dr.
John Holcombe, executive
director, Texas Animal
Health Commission, warns.
“Even though the U.S. and
northern Mexico are virtual-
ly free of screwworms,
livestock producers in
Texas, especially in those
kceiuor rfeaf to
counties
the Rio OHmde River, need
to be on the watch for possi-
ble infetations,’’ Dr.
Holcombe said.
“Cattlemen in this state
are to be commended for
their cooperation during the
past two decades in regard
to the screwworm eradica*
tion program. The program
would never had succeeded
without their help in repor-
ting suspected cases all
those years. But now is not
the time to quit looking and
checking animals for possi-
ble screwworm infestations.
Rather than stopping, now is
the time to redouble our ef-
forts in this matter so that
we can indeed continue to be
screwworm-free,” Dr.
Holcombe explained.
Only two confirmed
scr.ewworqi eases were
record in Texas in 1980.
“This can be the year when
no screwworms will be
recorded in Texas. But we
must continue our vigilance
so that no cases can slip
through undetected,’’ Dr.
Holcombe said. .
The sterile fly plant at Mis-
sion has been closed by U.S.
Department of Agriculture
officials because of the suc-
cess of the program in Texas

, Farm income tax meeting set for farmers
By: CHILE SMITH
Tax managment is an im-
portant part of overall
business managment, accor-
ding to Chile Smith, Polk
County Extension Agent. To
assist Polk County pro-
ducers to do a better job of
tax management, an income
tax meeting will be held at
Leggett Ag. Building,
February 5, beginning at
7:00 p.m.
Due to the variable income
tax rates, different reporting
procedures, and variable
amounts of income earned
by people engaged in
agriculture, there are usual-
ly various ways to save tax
dollars by reporting the in-
come properly on the tax
return. Full-time and part-
tithe farmers are provided,
by law, many tax manage-
ment tools. Tax managment
is concerned with maximiz-
ing after-tax income.
Topics that will be discuss-
ed include ordinary ex-
penses, depreciation
methods, investment tax
credit, ordinary and capital
sales. Timber taxes and pro-
per reporting timber sales
for capital gains will be
reviewed.
Wayne Taylor, Area
Economist-Management for
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service will present
the tax management Infor-
mation. “Few farm and
ranch operators, whether
they are full-time or part-
time can become an expert
on income tax,” according to
Taylor. “However,
agricultural producers
should know enough to
recognize the tax conse-
quences of various farm
business decisions,’’ he add-
ed.
According to Chile Smith,
County Extension Agent, the
meeting is open to the public
and all interested producers
are invited to attend.
