Choice of Beef
College Station—A good story
can bear tailing more than once.
And the good story for July
—Tor consumers, that is—is
that beef once again is plenti-
ful, says the Texas Agricultur-
al Extension Service.
Record production of fed h»ef
is keeping cattle and beef
prices at the lowest in several
years. Beef is the perfect
choice for J u 1 y—the “Picnic
Month.”
Also featured are fresh
plums. Forecast of a record-
large 110,000-ton California
crop should result in large ship-
ments of this fruit into locul
markets, supplementing local
supplies.
Other July plentiful*, as com-
piled by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture's Marketing
Service, include turkeys, early
summer vegetables, watermel-
ons, canned pink salmon and
vegetable fats and oils.
A ten per cant increase in
July marketings of turkeys
should provide ample supplies
of this popular meat. The tur-
key industry is again celebrat-
ing its Summer Turkey Time
promotion, this month.
Such vegetables as sweet
corn, tomatoes and onions from
local gardens will supplement
large shipments from distant
commercial producing areas.
A three per cent increase
over last year in watermelon
production more than likely will
result in prices favorable to the
consumer Most of the increase
is due to more acres of
watermelons being planted this
year in Texas.
Stocks of canned pink salmon
should remain large, along with
huge supplies of edible vege-
table oils.
ganic matter content, and the
calcium level of a sail, ail of
which influence limestone
needs.
Since it takes time for lime-
stone to react with the soil, it
should be applied at least three
months prior to the seeding of
a new crop, Box explain*. How-
ever, liming immediately before
seeding is much more advan-
tageous than not liming at all.
If legumes are to be seeded
this fall, soil samples should
be taken now and submitted
to a testing laboratory. Lime-
stone, if needed, can be applied
well in advance of the suggest-
ed three months before seeding.
Cross fences are being built of high temperatures and
Application
Of Limestone
Early Advised .
College Station—The appli-
cation of limestone to acid soils
ha* many advantage*, yet Tex-
as Farmers are applying only a
tenth of the amount they could
profitably use. say* John Box,
associate agronomist, Texas
A AM University.
Beneficial effects from .lim-
ing probably have been known
for m tong as those of any oth-
er present day sofl managvment
practice, Box a d d a, but the
amount used continue* to lag.
Lime applications are most
neaded in the East Texes Tim-
beriands and the eastern por-
tion of the Coast Prairie.
Soil testing is definitely the
beat method of determining1 park.
Overgrazing
Curtails Range
Improvements
College Station—With the im-
proved moisture situation over
much of the state, it is time to
take a look at the gracing sit-
uation, says Bobby Ragsdale,
Extension range specialist.
First, Texas cattle and deer
numbers are at an all time
high. Ranges in their present
condition will not be able to
support animals and maintain
their productivity over a long
period of time.
Overstocking prevents build-
up of litter which aids in wa-
ter and soil stabilisation. Re-
vegetation from natural seed-
ing and regaining vigor by for-
age plants already present is
ulao retarded by overstocking.
The specialist points out that
overgrazing rangelands will al-
low tittle or no chance for
range improvement
To remedy this situation,
Ragsdale offers several sug-
gestions: Breeding herds should
be kept to a minimum and dry
animals should not be maintain-
ed. Also, temporary and perm-
anent pastures should be uti-
lized to reduce grazing pres-
sure on native grasslands. Rags-
dale suggests that improved
Bermuda pastures be used in a
deferred grazing program to
maintain the present herd rath-
er than buy more cattle to graze
the additional grass.
In looking ahead, Ragsdale
says that proper deer harvest
should be worked into the ranch
on the Dr. Frank Kidd farm
south of Weaver. The pastures
are being equally divided in
order that a rotation gracing
program can be carriid out.
I. F. Nichols is installing
.cross fences in order that ro-
tation grazing practices can be
carried out.
Chemical weed control has
been applied to 110 acres on
the H. E. Putman farm north-
west of Sulphur Springs.
The time of the year is ap-
proaching where the manage-
ment of grasses for grazing
and hay is of special import-
ance. Late July, August, and
the first half of September

Heavy Fishing
Of Farm Pends
Recommended
College Station — Although
your farm pond is well-man-
aged, properly stocked and
fertilized, you may still be
catching only a few fish —
small ones at that. If so, you're
probably not fishing your pond
heavily enough, says Wallace
G. Kluasraann, wildlife conser-
vation specialist. Texas A&M
University.
If a pond is not fished heav-
ily, the fish population will
rapidly deplete the food sup-
ply, resulting in stunted fish.
Research has shown that a sur-
face acre of pond water that
ia well-managed needs from
300 to 500 man hours of fish-
ing each year to keep fish pro-
duction at a maximum, Klins-
mann points out.
Fertilized water is like fer-
tilized soil, says the specialist.
Fertile water will produce a
larger crop of fish just as fer-
tile land will produce more cot-
ton or corn. Therefore, the
harvest of fish from fertile wa-
ter can and should pe greater
than from non-fertile water.
Fishing should being about
a year after a pond has been
stocked. This will allow each
species to reach sexual matur-

grasses that go into this peri-
od grazed or cut too closely.
