FSA Activity
Fairly good rains have fallen over
the county. The FSA borrowers who
have winter pastures are well
pleased with the season in the
ground. Every drop that fell soaked
into the earth and where the ground
had previously been irrigated, it
really helped. The oat fields are in
fine shape and it won’t be long now
until grazing will be good.

Two farmers on the Subdivision
this year planted tomatoes, Mr. Lee
and Mr. Harvey; they are getting a
nice price for them. This is their first
trial with tomatoes. Mr. Lee and Mr.
McCarley gave bell peppers a trial
and they produced as fine a grade
of peppers as can be produced. The
price was fair.
The ladies on the Subdivision
should purchase the cull tomatoes
and can them. Tomatoes, tomato
juice and tomato catsup are among
the vegetables carrying the highest
points. So many families do not have
a garden of any kind on account of
dry hot summer and they should
avail thmselves of every opportunity
to get produce for canning.

Alton D. Walker is planting spin-
ach on his Unit this year. It is com-
ing along fine. The only thing to
hold him down is the price as the
spinach is looking O. K.; however,
spinach is quite a gamble somtimes,
especially, if the weather is too
changeable. Anyhow, we are stand-
ing by hoping he will hit the jack-
pot.

FEED—Well, it is out on that TP
Subdivision at La Pryor. If feed is
what the ranchmen or farmers need
they just don’t have to go any fur-
ther than La Pryor. This feed is out
there in bundles, bales and loose in
stacks. The grain is threshed and in
the barn as well as some corn. These
farmers have an abundance of any
kind of feed—no shortage.
• •
William B. House does not have
good Red Top cane hay in abundance
but he is raising onion sets again this
year. He made good on his farm
last year. Bill House is a hustler. He
is one of the good farmers on the
Subdivision who isn’t afraid of work.
Speaking of gardens—we haven’t
overlooked the garden plot at Fen-
ley’s. This plot is one of the best we
have seen lately. It is well located,
well fenced and well cared for—it
takes these three to make a good
garden, and next is proper selection
of vegetables for planting. The Fen-
ley’s have, we think, a well planned
garden.
What about the fall chickens? It is
not too late to order. The local FSA
office has received prices on the
chicks produced by Kazmier Hatch-
ery at Bryan, Texas. Some of the
families on the Subdivision ordered
from this hatchery last year. .

Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur R. Holmes
have recently moved from Alice and
taken over Unit No. 32 on the Sub-
division formerly owned by William
H. Gilbert. We appreciate the atti-
tude of the Holmes family and feel
that they will make a success.
••
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon L. Bostic
recently had their son, J. D., home
from the Navy on a short furlough.
He has spent a lot of time in for-
eign service and this was his first
trip home. While at home he wqs
married to Miss Margie Bond, of La
Pryor, who remained in La Pryor
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Bond, while Mr. Bostic reported
back to the West coast for duty. We
wish them well.

There has been some illness on the
TP Subdivision:
Mrs. George W. Beard has been
quite ill for several weeks but is im-
proving.
Mrs. Luther M. Bingham has been
in hospital in Uvalde but is able to
be back at home and is much better.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. S. Dickinson
were in the local office Saturday
and closed a deal with Mrs. Ola Wil-
liams whereby they acquired the
residence in La Pryor formerly
owned by Mrs. A. I. Shearer. This
house will be moved to their farm
on the TP Subdivision. Moving
should start this week if weather
permits.
