The district supervisors
like to entourage farmers to begin
thinking about cover crops on their
farms this fall. Where sufficient
rains have fallen, now is a good
time to plant.
During the last few years insuf-
ficient moisture has been a dis-
couraging factor in the planting of
cover crops. More especially vetch,
which is very important in our cov-
er crop program. It not only adds

Many cooperating farmers are
experiencing better crop yields fol-

the Round Grove Community,
states that vetch has been very
helpful in increasing the produc-

of the Desdemona group, has
grown vetch on his farm for sev-
eral years. He believes it has con-
tributed greatly to good yields even
in dry weather. Powers states “If
you feed the soil, it will in turn
feed you.”
The Supervisors advise that you
make arrangements for rye and
vetch seeds now. Due to heavy con-

The 1957 version of the De Leon
Bearcats opened rather slowly last
Friday night against the Gorman
Panthers. Their first quarter of
play for the new season yielded a
net gain of exactly four yards,
while allowing a medium weight
opponent 50. Some diversification
was aded to the attack in the sec-
ond quarter however, plus more
affective blocking. and the machine
began to produce results. At the
end of the first half the score was
13 to 0 in the local’s favor, al-
though it didn’t appear to be a one
sided game.
The third quarter produced noth-
ing for either side, and the Bear-
cats went into the fourth quarter
leading 13 to 0. Some determina-
tion on the part of De Leon began
to take shape on the first play of
the fourth, and the first of four
touchdowns was made. Blocking
was not too sharp throughout the
game, L_. — ------- ---------

SWINE SHOW RESULTS—The
first place gilt and boar selected
at last Saturday’s 4-H Swine show
in Comanche will represent Coman-
che County next Saturday the 14th
of September in Brownwood. This
will be an Area Show with Coman-
che and four adjoining counties
participating. Prizes totaling $250.
in ten prizes will be awarded.
The 4-H boys have done an out-
standing job in developing their
gilts this year. Last spring eight
gilts and one boar were awarded
to nine boys. This was done by
numbering the pigs and each boy
drawing for his. Barney Stokes of
Gustine had the first place gilt and
Gary Carson of Gustnie had the
boar in Saturday’s show. A list of
exhibitors and their places are: Jim
Jackson of Rt. 3 Comanche, 2nd.

! 1 ant in improving the structure of
the soil. It helps geratly in improv-
ing moisture penetration as well as
making your soil less susceptable
to wind erosion. Through the many
tons of fiberous roots together with
tons of' litter, the soil is made
crumbly instead of being cloddy-
Another very important factor
in vetch growing is the inocula-
tion of the seed. This is done by us-
ing a sticky substance such as mo-
lasses, in water and mixing the
inoculant well before moistening
the seed. Two or three inches of
play was excellent after the first
quarter. The Panthers used a fluid
nine man line for its best results
at defense, but the Bearcats used
the weakned pass defense to great
advantage in the tight spots and
eventually crossed into pay dirt six
times for the one-sided victory. The
opposition had a fine koking team,
and at times played very good foot-
ball. They will obviously be very
tough competition in their class
”B” league. Everyone in High
School over at Gorman must either
be in the band or on the ball team,
because a very fine playing and
marching outfit accompanied the
Panthers to De Leon, and they cer-
tainly have plenty left over to
make up a good football team.
The performance of their bard at
halftime was excellent.

win many ball games. David White

Gorman with 12 points. C. M. Cara-

each. Brownlee’s touchdown came
on a pass reception from C. M l
Caraway. The longest run front]
scrimmage was made by Rodger
Coan and covered 43 yards. This
came as a result of a pitch-out
from Bill Locke, and was the only
time Coan carried the ball. Autrey
Andress and Nelson Terry made
many of the long gainers possible
with sharp blocking and good pro-
tection for the passer. A pass from
Bill Locke to Jerry Singleton set
up the last touchdown, and Single-
