About 12 yea is ago C N Avery
of Austin took a look at the 17
farms he was operating in near-
by Williamson County. He didn't
like li«' size of his income from
those farms, he didn’t like the
trouble he had in keeping top
notch tenant farms, and he didn't
like the soil erosion that was
showing up.

a three-year-okl mare, has been nursing the-calf for the past few weeks. “Punkin”

bushels next year would add to •
