Association To Sponsor
Christmas Program
R. L. Moore and Lee
Perkins, officers of Indepen-
dent Beef Producers of
America were requested to
testify before a House
Agriculture Sub-Committee
They were introduced to the
Chairman and the Committee
by the Honorable Wright
Patman Mr Moore testified
that the beef producers of this
nation were in a drastic and
devastating situation and to
relieve some of these pres-
sures they had requested the
government back in Septem-
ber to initiate a canned meat
program using up the
non-producing cows, bulls,
and grass-fed steers that exist
in great numbers through out
our nation The canned meat
is to be used in foreign aid to
the needy people in times of
international disaster, na-
tional disaster and to feed the
needy here at home Moore
indicated that the indepen-
dent beef producers had
received no encouragement.
Mr. Perkins testified that
the sale of one calf last year
would have purchased three
tons of fertilizer and one ton of
feed. Today it would take the
sale of eight or nine calves to
purchase the same commo-
dities
He also stated that the beef
producers should have joined
together 10 years ago. He
asked for the help of
Chairman E. de la Garza and
his Committee in working
with the beef producers of this
nation in straightening out
their problems The beef
producers must have the help
of the Congress, he said in
stopping the importation of
meat and the exportation of
fertilizer

Deport Dam Could
Be Months Away
"If the properly signed
easements were presented to
the sponsors, construction on
the (Deport Creek Dam*
structure could begin in six to
eight months "
This was the assertion of
Allen Colwick. an engineer
Ironi San Marcos with the Soil
and Water Conservation Ser-
vice. at a meeting ol
landowners with property to
tie allected by construction ol
the dam and mt'rchanls and
businessmen in Deport whose
property and business is
damaged by the flooding ol
downtown Deport
Colwick presented a slide
program composed of high
lights taken from an exten
sive and exhaustive study of
the Deport Creek watershed
area conducted by SWCS to
the thirty-odd present at the
meeting in the Reddy Room in
dow ntow n Deport The Reddy
Room itself is often flooded
when the creek leaves its
hanks
The cost of the project is
estimated at $211.MW. which
includes an estimate of
$69,350 in land rights that
would lie paid to the 15
landowners whose properly
would be affected by the dam
and the 7(! acre lake that the
dam would create
SWCD estimates that the
average annual damage
caused by the flooding ol
Deport Creek amounts to
$34,680. and from these
figures has arrived at three to
one cost-benefit ratio For
every dollar spent on the
Deport (’reek project, three
dollars in benefits will be
gained
The structure planned will
he an earthen dam with a
coastal bermuda cover with a
concrete drain tile that will
allow the water to drain out ot
the lake at a rate that will not
cause flooding below the dam
\n emergency spillway is
designed in such a way that
the SWCD engineers expect
water to flow over the
spillway only once in a
hundred years
The dam will detain 31" of
rain falling in a six hour
period, and will reduce from
258 acres presently being
flooded to 16 acres annually
Deport was flooded two weeks
ago all day by a 3*-" rain The
$34.(i8ii in annual damages
would he reduced to $190
The Deport Crook Water-
shed protection and flood
prevention plan is being
sponsored hy the Lamar Soil
and Water Conservation Dis-
trict. the Rod River Soil and
Water Conservation District,
and the City of Deport SWCD
will lx* responsible for the
construction of the dam and
the land treatment with the
eixipcration of the land-
owners. and the City ot
Deport w ill he responsible for
the maintenance of the dam
Cost of the maintenance is
estimated at $250 annually.
At present the City of
Deport is involved in securing
a 75 percent grant In build a
new sewer plant al a cost
approaching $2IM!.ihmi The
present plant is also a victim
of Deport creek, and during
floods becomes a pari of the
creek, releasing untreated
