Don’t Have Cold Feet
Go All Electric Heat
il,
■an,
- After a cold day's work out of doors,
there’s nothin" finer than relaxing in the
cozy warmth of an electrically-heated
home. O _
Modern electrir heating gives voti the
most comfortable heating available to
anyone today. . . . And it is as safe as the
electric light you read by. With electric
heating you have no harmful fumes,
, smoke or flames . . . there’s nothing com-
bustible to endanger your family's life
or health.
Electric heating is healthful heating.
... It doesn't “hake" the air you breath.
. . . No oxygen is burned up. . . . No venti-
lation is required to remove fumes.
And it is so convenient. . . . Just set the
eleetrieally-positive thermostat and for-
get it . . . the electricity will take care of
your needs . . . automatically . . . safely
. . . economically.
I hroughout this area thousands have
learned that electric home heating is the
best . . . the most efficient . . . the safest
way ... to heat every room in the house.

A system of field and diversion
terraces was layed out on the place
of Mrs. Mary Sumpf at Medina
this week by technicians of the
Soil Conservation Service. The
system consists of approximately
3.000 feet of regular field terraces
to control the water on the fields.
These terraces will cross the slope
at short enough intervals so there
will be no erosion between the ter-
races and no deposition of dirt in
the terrace channels. Excess wat-
er will be discharged from the ter-
races onto pasture land that has
a good enough cover of grass to
eliminate the ^danger of erosion.
The diversion terraces of the sys-
tem will handle, the outside water
and keep it off the field. ___
* * *
A total of 13.2 miles of regular
field terraces was built in the
Bandera Soil Conservation District
during 1956. Of this total, 5.9
miles were constructed by eight
of the District’s cooperators. This
brings the number of miles of ter-
races already built in the District
up to a total of approximately 65.
District records indicate a need
for an additional 200 miles of
regular field terraces on our crop-
land. At the rate of about one
mile of terrace to each 15“ to 20
acres of cropland, there are about
4.000 acres of cropland in the Dis-
trict that need terraces for pro-,
tection from erosion.
* + *
The Soil Bank Program has di-
rected the attention of many peo-
ple in the District toward the seed-
ing of grasses in fields. Many
fields that are at present in culti-
vation and many old fields that
are out of cultivation could be
more profitable and productive if
seeded to some sort of perennial
grasses. There are several of
these grasses which have adapted
themselves very well to this sec-
tion of the hill country. Among
these are K. R. Bluestem, Slender
grama, Blue Buffel grass. Blue
panic grass, and Weeping love-
grass. Any of these grasses pro-
duce well when planted on crop-
land. The K. R. Bluestem and
Slender grama are better for plant-
ing on shallow, rocky soils; or on
adobe type soils on cropland under
cultivation at present; or on old
fields that are badly eroded or
very shallow. The Blue Panic,
Blue Buffel, and Weeping love-
grass are better adapted to deeper
more fertile soils. K. R. and Slen-
der grama will also grow on these
better soils. The District recom-
mends these grasses be planted in
rows and in pure stands. With
fields in their present condition,
only a light disking is usually nec-
essary for seeding preparation.
Some old fields may need chisel-
ling before planting if they have
a crusted surface condition. A
good firm seedbed is necessary for
getting a stand of any of these
grasses. For further information
concerning seeding rates and plant-
ing dates, contact your local Soil
Conservation Service technicians
assisting the District.
GIVE TO EMPLOYEES
WITHOLDING STATEMENTS
Businesses with large payrolls
were urged today by R. L. Phinney,
District Director of the Internal
Revenue Service in Austin, to re-
lease 1956 W-2 tax withholding
statements to their employees now
to speed up filing, payment and
adjustment of many individual tax-
payer returns.
With their W-2s available, tax-
payers will be able to prepare
their own income tax forms at
once and send them to Internal
Revenue Service, Austin, Texas.
Checks or money orders should be
made payable to the District Di-
rector of Internal Revenue. Cash
should not be sent.
“Ip hundreds of our fellow citi-
zens the withholding tax repre-
sents their entire tax indebtedness.
In some instances, there may be a
small overpayment or underpay-
ment. Such cases can be easily
detected when the individual reads
the comprehensive instructions..
We would appreciate taxpayer co-
operation in getting all such forms
in to us at once. That will help
us take care of the heavy work
load during the deadline period.
“Our office will gladly help
taxpayers with knotty problems.
Telephone us first. If you feel
that a personal visit is the only
way, come in and bring your pap-
ers, including everything concern-
ing your income for 1956.
“To insure assistance in prepar-
ing your tax forms, come in or
call early. If you have a group
of complicated tax problems, a
visit to a tax consultant may he
your answer, and will he well
worth the time and deductible
fee.
“Mainly, we are urging taxpay-
ers to file and pay early before the
hectic rush of the second week in
April.”
