Hack recently became coopera-
tors with the Gonzales County
Soil Conservation District. One
of the first jobs that they plan
to do is grub scattered mesquite
brush that has come in on 35
acres of formerly cultivated
land, that has been laying out
for the past several years. They
plan to plant this 35 acres to
Coastal Bermuda next spring.
Mesquite brush will be remov-
ed from another 63 acres and
they plan to plant it to Coastal
also. Approximately 50 acres
will be used as native grazing
land and the remaining 27 acres
of their 200 acre farm is plan-
ned for wildlife. This 27 acres
is along a creek and is a wood-
ed area. The trees and under-
each pasture will be deferred
at least once every three years.
The mesquite brush will be con-
trolled by basal treatment with
diesel.

cooperator Eris Hummel is
making plans to rootplow, rake,
stack and burn the mesquite
brush on 18 acres of pasture.
This 18 acres will be planted
to King Ranch Bluestem next
spring. He has done a very good
job of crop residue management
on 9 acres of cropland that was
planted to milo this year. Hum-
mel shredded the residue and
then beded the land in such a
way as to leave a large percent-
age of the residue on the sur-
face of the soil. By leaving the
residue on the surface of the
land it will provide protection
from the sun and rain.
• Edgar Wilkie, whose farm

ning to harvest the seed on this
King Ranch by stripping it with
District-owned seed stripper.

serving as an outlet for ter-
races on about 35 acres of
cropland and is doing a good
• George Turk, whose farm
is located in the Glaze City
community, has 50 acres of
winter peas on cropland. These
peas are being grown as cover
crop in his crop rotation. This
is a part of Turk’s complete
conservation plan.
• R. H. Juengerman, whose
farm is located in the Montha-
lia community, has approxi-
mately 80 acres of cover crops
on cropland. Hubam clover is
being used as
legume on the
farm.
• Jack Cinadr,
is located in the
munity, was recently assisted
by a technician of the Soil Con-
servation Service in developing
a complete conservation plan on
his ranch. Some of the con-
servation measures called for on
his cropland are deferred graz-
ing, proper use of the range
grasses, and brush control. He
will have six pastures devoted
to the production of native
grasses. Two of the pastures
will be deferred each year. One
will be deferred in the Spring
from March 1st through June,
and the other pasture will be
deferred from August 1st thru
November. The pasture will be
deferred in rotation so that
Christmastime draws near and each of
us here wishes to extend our greetings of
good cheer to our many friends so dear.
