One of the main reasons that your electric
bill may be higher now is the increased
cost of fuel needed to generate the elec
tricity you use. In the past year fuel costs
have skyrocketed up, up, up. Fuel adjust-
ment charges have more than tripled in
the past year. This increase in fuel cost,
incurred from our supplier, is being
passed through directly to you. These
increases must be passed to our custom-
ers in order for us to continue to provide
the service to which you are accustomed.
Hot summer temperatures and additional
use of air conditioning systems with a
corresponding increase in electricity con-
sumption is another important factor in
producing higher bills.
Community Public Service Company
doesn't like the high costs any more than
you do and we’re doing everything pos-
sible to hold down costs. However ...
if we are to meet the demands for electric
service . .. it’s going to cost us more and
our customers more.

Think about it. Advertising pays for the
features and the news that your newspaper
brings to you so economically. Companies
that want to tell you about their products,
their sales, and their unique services pay
for the space to advertise and that pays
for most of the newspaper
If these companies were suddenly
deprived of their right to advertise — to
communicate with their customers — you
can be sure sales would drop. If sales
drop, production slows and ultimately
Advertising is everybody’s business.

cover for all wildlife.
Timberland and grasslands
produce food for squirrel, deer,
quail, and dove. Each specie
having its own variety of food.
Plant foods for squirrel in-
clude acorns, nuts, and other
fruits of oak, ash, bald cypress,
blackgum, beech, walnut, elm,
maple, hickory, pecan, and
pine. During late winter and
spring they feed on buds of
trees and shrubs, toadstools
and weedy plants. Fruits and
berries of mulberry,
huckleberry, red haw and
grape are eaten during the
summer. Agricultural crops
such as corn, grain sorghums,
sudangrass, sunflower, wheat,
and peanuts are eaten during
the fall and winter Deer are
primarily browsing ruminants
(cud chewers) Stems, buds,
bark, and acorns of weedy
plants make up the bulk of their
diet. In late fall and winter deer
eat many green plants such as
oats, wheat, ryegrass and
Save Land For Wildlife Population
By Bobbie Bekkelund
Hunters in Red River County
are increasing in number every
year. Wildlife population and
needs are also increasing
I .Wildlife food in Red River
I County is produced on land
used primarily for some other
use, such as pasture, cropland
or woodland
Landowners producing
wildlife plant foods this year
are: Earl Van Johnson, Derrell
and Teddy Jones, Williams
Taylor, J. F. Smith, Cross
Arrow Ranch, Harry Moore,
Melvin Hines, Charles Sharp
and many others
While assisting cooperators
to develop their conservation
plans, the Soil Conservation
Service encourages the use of
odd areas for wildlife land. This
may be small marshes for
ducks or large tracts of low
producing timberland for
squirrel, quail, and deer. By
’ protecting this land from fire
and over-grazing, it will furnish
many clover. Weeds, grass,
seeds, and fruit are also im-
portant food items. It must be
remembered the deer are in
competition with domestic
livestock. When this happens
deer go to weedy plants with
less nutritienal value. These
include hickory, redbud,
American beech, American
holly. Eastern Redcedar,
sweetgum, waxmyrtle, pine,
post oak, mesquite, juniper,
yucca, and Texas persimmon.
Quail feed primarily on in-
sects, grass and legume seeds,
berries, and acorns. Grass and
weed seeds are eaten from fall
to spring and insects and
berries are eaten mainly in
spring and summer. Cultivated
crops such as grain sorghum,
peas, sesame, vetch, and com
also provide wildlife with an
abundant food supply.
Dove, however, are strictly
seed eaters, mainly the same
types for quail.
