Rabies Air Drop To
Begin This Week
A Texas Department of Health
Project, designed to stop the
northward spread of Canine
Rabies, gets underway this week
when two aircraft leave the
ground from Pleasanton
Municipal Airport. The project
was originally scheduled to get
underway on Wednesdav but was
postponed due to heavy tog in the
San Antonio/Pleasanton area.
The two single-engine planes
spearheading the project are on
loan from the Canadian Ministry
of Natural Resources and are
specially designed for the task at
hand. The mission is to air-drop
some 850,000 oral rabies
vaccine/bait units over a 14,000
square mile strip of South Texas
in an arc stretching from just
north of Corpus Christi, to the
south of San Antonio and ending
just north of Laredo.
By distributing the vaccine/bail
in areas recognized as hospitable
habitat for coyotes, the goal is to
reduce the spread of the diseases
in the coyote population which, in
South Texas, according to health
officials, is currently at epidemic
(epizootic) levels, and posing a
serious threat to domestic
animals and humans.
On hand , in Pleasanton, for
the first air-drops were
Congressman Kika de la Garza, Dr.
David R. Smith, Texas
Commissioner of Health, Betsy
Triplett-Hurt, Texas Board of
Health, Dr. Keith Clark, Texas
Department of Health and
officials from the Canadian
Ministry of Natural Resources and
other representatives of federal
and state agencies participating in
the project.

Fantastic, though not adequate
really, is the best word I can come
up with to explain how great the
Dawson McAllister Student Youth
Conference was this past Friday
and Saturday at the Bay Front
convention Center! We took 12
youth with two adult sponsors.
. The teaching on bad habits,
cliques and guilt was super! The
praise and worship music was
unsurpassed. We all had a lot of
fun, along with 1,200 other young
people! We will go again next
year. This is the third time our
youth have been to the conference
since I've been pastor here.
Last Sunday, our evening "All
Church Praise Service" was a
wonderful worship experience.
We sang congregational hymns,
solos, had special readings, plenty
of great testimonies! As a church
/til
Made especially for you,
to add a distinctive accent to your
WEDDING,
Quinceanera, Graduation, Wedding
Anniversary, or other memorable event.

Cattlemen Want Beef Fed To Prison Inmates
Texan prison inmates should eat beef produced in the Lone Star State
rather than a soy-based meat substitute imported from Canada, said Jim
Selman, president of the Independent Cattlemen's Association of Texas.
Selman urged the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to take
another reconsider plans to serve inmates at more than 60 prison s a
soy-based product known as VitaPro. "Instead of sending our tax money
out of state to buy a Canadian product, we should be supporting an
industry that provides Texans with jobs," he said.
"Beef production is the economic mainstay for many of our rural
communities. It's an industry that we should and must support. So, let
our prisoners eat beef - that's what I say."
Better Education Needed About Technologies
Irradiation is just one of several technological developments that can
help improve the safety of our food supply, Agriculture Commissioner
Rick Perry said at a recent seminar on food irradiation at the Texas
Medical Center in Houston.
"For too long there has been an effort to misinform the public about
many new, beneficial food processing advances, like irradiation, Perry
said. "All too often, organizations have allowed political science to lake
the place of sound science. As a result, we have seen much technology
portrayed as the enemy."
Irradiation fits in a system known as HACCP or Hazard Analysis and
Critical Control Point, which monitors critical points along the food
production process to preent hazards, rather than catch them. It's a
science-based system that identifies where potential contamination can
nccur all along the food chain from the farm to the family dinner table,
Perry said.
TELCOT Offered To Southeastern Producers
Plains Cotton Cooperative Association (PCCA) and Gold Kist Inc. are
offering TELCOT electronic cotton marketing services to cotton
producers in the Southeastern United States. TELCOT will be available
initially at six Gold Kist facilities via satellite in Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina. Trading of 1994-crop Southeastern cotton is expected to
commence immediately.
"Cotton production in the Southeast U.S. has increased dramatically
in recent years," explains PCCA President Van May. "The agreement is
an excellent opportunity to increase the volume of cotton traded on the
electronic system and increase earnings for members of PCCA and Gold
Kist."
TELCOT was developed by Lubbock-based PCCA and introduced in
1975 to the cooperatives' members in Texas and Oklahoma. To date,
more than 20 million bales have been traded on the electronic system.
Low Enterest Loans For Saving Water
Low-interest Agricultural Water Conservation loans to purchase and
install water copnserving irrigation equipment are available to farmers
and ranchers. The loans, along with information about the program, are
available through local underground water conservation districts, soil
and water conservation districts, and irrigation districts.
The districts can loan money directly to individual farmers to cover
the dost of improving water use efficiency of existing irrigation systems
or replacing it with modern water-conserving equipment, such as Low
Energy Precision Application systems. Interested farmers should
contact their local district or call (512) 463-7983.
Noxious Weed Gives Way To Beneficial Grass
A three-pronged approach combining herbicides, burjing and planting
native tallgrasses can tame leafy spurge, one of the worst weeds in
North America, a USDA rangeland scientist says.
In field tests in 1992 and '93, Robert A. Masters and University of
Nebraska researchers treated leafy spurge-infested plots in Nebraska
with two herbicides, then burned the weeks and planted switchgrass and
big bluestem. The switchgrass yielded 3,600 pounds of hay per acre and
the big bluestem yielded 5,200 pounds while weed yields dropped 85
percent.
"The results indicate native grasses can displace leafy spurge and
less desirable vegetation on northern and central Gerat Plains
rangeland," Masters said.
