LITTLE tllVER-SAN
GABRIEL SCD NEWS
The construction of new farm
ponds is proceeding at a step-
ped-up rate in the east half of
the Little River San Gabriel
Soil Conservation District ac-
cording to Soil Conservation
Service personnel of Bartlett
serving the area.
Seven pieces of heavy equip-
ment were employed at one
time during the first week of
August on tank constrUctoin op-
erations on cooperator farms.
Twenty new farm ponds were
constructed during the month
of July in that portion of the
district area serviced by the
Bartlett SCS office and lying to
the east of Bartlett.
Both bulldozers and drag
lines were employed to carry
out these various construction
jobs.
Ponds as a whole are con-
structed to provide a source of
water for 'livestock. The past
two vears have been marked by
a creditable number of pond en
largements That is enlarge-
ment of ponds previously con-
structed which have proven to
be too small to provide adequate
amounts of livestock water.
A rough average farm pond
being constructed by district
c'ooperators at the present time
according to Michael Brown
Soil Conservationist serving the
district finds 2500 to 3500 cu-
bic yards of earth fill being
moved into the dam total de'ptfl
fifteen to twenty feet a sur-
face area of three tenths acre
and 30 to 35 percent of the to-
tal surface area in excess of
eight feet 'deep.
Such ponds as these have a3
much as an additional years
supply of water in thehi at the
present time where they exist-
ed and were filled within the
past two years. This has refer-
ence to those ponds which do
not have a loss of water through
grounds seepage Brown adds.

Bell County ha been desig-
nated in the drouth relief area
Local farmers and stockmen
can receive aid in the purchase
of feeds containing grain. The
cost to the producer for grain
in mixed feeds is one dollar
per hundred. Grains included in
this '.program are as follows
corn maize oats and barley.
These can be purchased in feed
mixtures containing 60 per
cent or 75 per cent grain.
Here are the procedures for
applying and receiving aid un-
der this program. A farmer or
stockman makes application at
the Farm Home (Administration
office in Belton. Eligibility is
determined and certified by the
F.H.A. County Committee." The
A'SC office in Belton then issues
purcnase order to the pro-
lucer. The purchase order is
taken to the grain or .feed deal-
er which is negotiable in pur-
chase of the feed.
The drouth relief program
does not aid in the transporta-
tion of hay into this area.
Dairy
Dave Phillips of Academy
will soon be the newest dairy
producer in the county. He is in
the process of completing his
facilities. Phillips plans to .start
nroduction the first part of
September.
The parlor barn will have all
of the known labor saving de-
vices. A pipeline milker will
carry the milk directly into the
bulk storage tank. Actually
the milk is never exposed to
"he air. The parlor is arranged
with two stanchions on both
sides of the milking pit. (Feed is
self fed from a bulk feed bin ta
a small box located in the par
lor. This enables the operator
to feed the cows with a mini
mum of effort and time.
A new self feeding trench
"ilo is another feature of his
facilities. The trench silo was
built above the ground with
lumber. It also has a concrete
floor. Phillips plans to self-
feed the silage from one end
of the silo. The 150 foot silo
has. a capacity of nearly 300
tons. It is about 60 per cent
lull ol silage which will pro-
vide ample feed for the coming
winter.
Small Grains
H. O. Hill Superintendent of

able includes Mustang oats
Bronco oats and Quanah wheat.
Details can be obtained by
calling the county agents office
or writing to the station.
Bulk Tank
Alpha Vanderveor recently
obtained a 530 gallon bulk milk
tank as a part of his dairy fa-
cilities. He likes this method of
handling milk in spite of the ex-
pense involved.
He says the tank insures bet-
ter quality of milk more accur-
ate butter fat test more accur-
ate milk weight and cheaper
operation.
Gene Vanderveer is solving
their feed problem by purchas-
ing grain at harvest time for
storage in their barns. He
planted 50 acres of Atlas Sor
