OVERTON-With spring
just around the comer and
small grain winter pasture
gowing rapidly, many pro-
ducers are beginning to
think about utilizing the
small grain forage for hay.
If the small grain has not
been topdressed with
nitrogen, Dr. Sim Reeves,
Jr., agronomist for the
Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, says to fertilize
as soon as possible. About 50
pounds of nitrogen per acre
is a rule-of-thumb generally
used. Any excess nitrogen
not used by the small grain
will be utilized by the perma-
nent pasture. Fertilization
will give extra growth and
better quality to the small
grain hay.
Reeves says to cut small
grain in the dough stage for
best quality hay. This may
come sooner than expected
so producers should keep a
check on the pastures for
maturity. Once the seed
start getting hard, the hay
quality drops rapidly.
If two species of small
grain have been planted
together, Reeves says to cut
when the first species is in
the dough stage. After cut-
ting, some regrowth should

occur and grazing can be
started again.
The fertility level and the
stage of growth when the
forage is cut are the major
factors in hay quality.
Reeves says that proper
management can mean the
difference between produc-
ing top quality hay or just a
filler for the cattle next
winter.
School dedicated
Members of two Masonic Lodges were on hand March 5 for
dedication ceremonies for the new addition to Onalaska
School. The Masons performed a “squaring and leveling” of
the building in recognition of a cornerstone placed there by
members of the organization. Perry Parker, shown in center
bolding his hat, led the attending guests in prayer at the dose
of the ceremonies. Parker, grand warden, served in the place
of Grand Master Buddy Baccus during the dedication. Parker
wore a hat during the ceremonies. Being the only one wearing
a hat, he said, “This signifies my authority.” When Gad’s
name was mentioned, he would automatically tip hi* hat A
spokesman explained that it was only fitting the Masons
dedicate the school building. The Masons are responsible for
the first schools in Texas.
Hightower supports vet housing program
AUSTIN, Tx.-“I am proud
to have Representative Allen
Ross Hightower, Jr. join me
in supporting the Veterans
Housing Assistance Pro-
gram which’ will be con-
sidered by the Texas
Legislature,” stated Texas
Land Commissioner Garry
Mauro today. “As I said dur-
ing the campaign, we do not
need to do the veterans a
favor, just repay one.
Representative Hightower
and I believe by opening this
program to allow our Texas
veterans to purchase a
home, we will provide
thousands of jobs for the
economy and give thousands
of families who have been
unable to purchase a home
that opportunity to own their
own house.”
The Veterans Housing
Assistance Program will be
modeled after the successful
Veterans Land Program.
Over 80,000 veterans have
taken advantage of this long
term, low interest loan to
purchase rural land. “The
Veterans Land Program is
still a good program, but we
need to meet the modern
demands of our veterans.
Under the new program, a
Texas veteran can use this
|20,000 loan to go toward the
purchase of a home in either
a rural or urban area,”
Mauro said.
Under the proposal, a con-
stitutional amendment will
be submitted to the voters
following its approval by the
legislature. A Texas veteran
will then be able to apply for
up to a $20,000 loan from the
Housing Assistance Pro-
gram which can be used as a
down payment and loan to
apply with his other mor-
tgage from a private lending
institution. The existing
Veterans Land Program will
remain unchanged.
“The beauty of this pro-
gram is the benefit to the
veteran and the housing in-
dustry at no cost to the tax-
payer. The program will be
financed through a $500
million bond issue which will
be repaid entirely by the bor-
rowers. We will supply as
many as 25,000 new homes
and create 45,000 new jobs
without costing our tax-
payers a penny,” Mauro
said.
The constitutional amend-
ment is being sponsored in
the Senate by Senator Lin-
don Williams (D-Houston)
and in the House by
Representative Frank Te-
jeda (D-San Antonio). In ad-
dition to the governor, the
measure also has the sup-
port of Lieutenant Governon
Bill Hobby and House
Speaker Gib Lewis. All of the
major veterans leaders in
the state as well as private
lending institutions have
voiced their support of the
Veterans Housing
Assistance Program.
“With the rapid increase
in the cost of housing coupled
with high mortgage rates, it
has been extremely difficult
for many of our younger
veterans to purchase a
home. We have 525,000 Viet-
nam veterans in Texas and
over a million other veterans
who deserve a chance to own
their own home,” Mauro
said. “By creating the
Veterans Housing
Assistance Program, we will
have a fine complement to
the Veterans Land Program
to meet the modem needs of
our Texas veterans,” Mauro
concluded.
