Fred Gammenthaler, ranching,
near Harper on the Kerrville
road, is a bit older than most
men still actively engaged in
farming and ranching. He has
seen some of his own cropland
which used to produce good corn
with big long ears stop producing
anything better than medium
yields of maize, hegari, or Sudan
grass. In working with him on
some of his conservation prob-
lems, technicians of the Soil Con-
servation Service observed that
on some very good cropland the
maize had a patchy appearance
with very small and large plants
intermingled. When these small
plants were dug up, it showed the
roots had penetrated only the
first three to four inches. Below
that the soil was so -tight, roots
couldn’t penetrate. These plants
were stunted for lack of avail-
able moisture. Although the sub-
soil was filled with moisture, soil
under the large plants did not
have this condition at such a
shallow depth, but was found at
about six inches. If we are to
expect uniform growth of all
plants in a field, then such condi-
tion must be corrected. A deep-
rooted legume such as hubam
clover does an excelelnt job. Cor-
recting condition such as this
will permit better crop yields
through better water intake and
storage, and will also make the
soil easier to plow saving on
costly equipment expenses.

In the past week, technicians of
the Soil Conservation Service
ran terrace lines for Walter Ro-
de, east of Fredericksburg; Edg.
Usener, of Pilot Knob; Walter
Hopf, of Luckenbach; and Mar-
tin Lindig of Stonewall. Live-
stock tanks were checked for
completion for Harry Jordan,
west of Fredericksburg; Elgin
Dittmar of Pilot Knob Conserva-
tion Group; and Harry Jordan,
east of Stonewall. Diversion ter-
races were checked for
Adolph Klaehn, northwest of
Fredericksburg; Mrs. Harpian
Kirchner, northwest of Freder-
icksburg; Arthur Gold of Rhein-
gold; and Alfred Kusenberger,
of Stonewall Conservation Group.
All practices were layed out and
checked in accordance with the
1954 ACP and Gillespie County
Soil Conservation District specifi-
cations.
* « *
Otto Spaeth, ranching south-
west of Doss, has come to realize
that seedbed preparation for
planting grasses is of utmost im-
portance. Two years ago he
wanted to seed some old fields to
grass and asked the Soil Conser-
vation Service technicians for as-
sistance. He was advised to wait
about a year before planting the
grass in order to grow a soil con-
ditioning crop first. He was in a
hurry, so he planted the seed.
He feels now that he would have
gotten much better results had
ha made a determined effort to
get his seedbed well prepared.
Now is the time to start pre-
paring for grass seeding to be
done next year. Many landown-
ers are seeding these old fields
to some type of sorphum crop
now and will leave stubble to
seed grass, in next spring.

Alfred Kusenberger, coopera-
tor of the Stonewall Conservation
Group, reports that his stock are
in tip top shape and his Ranges
are ready to take up and con-
serve moisture.
* * *
Mr. Kusenberger has practiced
deferred grazing and proper
stocking for several years. 'The
better range grasses can be found
in all areas of his ranges. He
reports that he supplies some pro-
tein supplemena for his livestock
during winter ’ and also summer
if the vegetation is dry and not
providing protein.
A city youngster, roaming a-
round the country, found a pile of
empty condensed milk cans.
“Hey, guys”, he called excitedly,
“come here quick! I’ve found a
cow’s nest.”
Game wardens from the Hill
Country area met at the Hotel
Nimitz last week Friday to dis-
cuss the proposed game regula-
tions for Llano, Mason, Kerr and
Gillespie Counties.
These are the four counties
which have been designated by
the State Game and Fish Depart-
ment as the Counties where the
anterless deer hunt may be con-
ducted this fall.
John Wood, supervisor of game
wardens in this area and station-
ed at Brownwood, presided at the
meeting. Attending were Bill
Bennett of Brady; Bob Evans,
Junction; Gordon Craig, Menard;
Jack Gregory, Kerrville; Bill Gar-
rett, Center Point; Junior Briggs,
San Saba; R. A. Miller, Burnet;
Clayton Nolan, Buchanan Dam;
Travis Gilbreath, Johnson City;
D. V. Williams, Mason; Gene
Walker, Kerrville; J. C. Moore,
Llano; Adolph Heep, Fredericks-
burg, and two biologists from the
State Office in Austin.
Heep stated Tuesday that the
die-off among deer in the north-
ern part of the county, especially
around the Enchanted Rock area,
is continuing to be extremely
heavy. He said that unless it
rained soon, so that forage came
back, he believed that the die-off
would be so heavy that the anter-
less deer hunt might be cancelled
altogether. Other areas, especial-
ly in the western part of the
county, have also been hard-hit,
he added.
