Many farmers and ranchers
are glad to take a few minutes
times to answer the questions
asked on livestock numbers in
order to have information avail-
able for making business deci-
sions. Information obtained
from this survey is returned to
farmers and ranchers through
Texas Crop and Livestock Re-

This annual survey has been
a joint undertaking of the Post
Office and the Department of

Eat Well For
Winter Diseases
Healthful nutrition is a year
round job. But as cooler weather
comes to Texas, it becomes in-
creasingly important to guard
against falling victim if “winter
susceptibility.”
There really isn’t any such
term, but the fact of the matter
is that bodily resistance may
be lessened during fall and win-
ter.
For this reason it is smart
to observe, more than ever, the
rules of good nutrition.
The well-fed family receives
the basic foods in their daily
diet. Food rich in protein should
be served at every meal.
Meat, fish, poultry, eggs and
milk (including milk products
like cheese and ice cream) are
the best sources of high quality
protein. Other sources are ce-

The pair will be married in
Hochheim, at the summer home
of the bride-elect’s uncle and
aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George Mus-
selmann of San Antonio, in the
presence of the two immediate
families, and relatives. The
wedding reception will

First Baptist Church, this City.

BROWN PATCH IN LAWNS
CAN BE CONTROLLED
Brown patch disease in St
Augustinegrass and Bermuda-
grass is taking a heavy toll in
central and east central Texas
now and will probably continue
until late winter and early
spring. This disease can be con-
trolled if proper measures are
used, according to Harlan E.
Smith, extension plant patholo-
gist.
Pentachloronitrobenzene (PC
NB) 75 percent wettable pow-
der can be used for control. One
pound mixed with water will
cover 1000 square feet of turf.
Enough water should be mixed
with the chemical to thoroughly
soak the solution throughout
the old grass clippings and
down to the soil beneath the
grass. Smith cautions against
applying excess amounts of the
chemical. Only two aplications
a year will give control, and
more than this may result in a
toxicity problem.
Where the disease is already
present, applications are more
effectiv if made during the first
24 hours following a rain or ir-
rigation. If the disease covers
a large area at time of appli-
cation you can expect some re-
sults in two to three weeks.
Proper use of fertilizer and
water will help prevent the di-
sease, notes the pathologist.
Brown patch is apt to occur on
lawns that have received excess
amounts of water and fertilizer.
Grass should not be watered
late in the evening.
Other hints for preventing
brown patch are: fill in with soil
and level low spots where water
tends to accumulate, avoid let-
ting thick layers of old grass
clippings or “thatch” accumu-
late, and now property.

rubber tired rollers to firm the
soil. All of the work is perform-
ed in one operation.
The machine is being used
for the first time on Seekamp's
farm near Concrete. The area
being seeded is an old culti-
vated field that has not been
cultivated in several years. The
grasses present are needle
grass, annual weeds and grasses.
Charlie Seekamp states he is
only getting about 20 pounds of
beef per acre per year from this
land. By establishing a higher
producing grass the production
will be raised to 100 pounds of
beef per acre or more. This is
four or five times more produc-
tion in just one year. The cost
is approximately $14.00 to $17.-
00 per acre including grass seed.
It is believed that one years
production will pay the cost of
plowing and seeding.
The above field is being seed-
ed to Sorghum Almum and Blue
Panicum. Charlie Seekamp plans
to use native grass mixture in
another field. This will give a
comparison between natve and
introduced grasses.

With the addition of these to

Breakfast is probably the
most important meal of the day
because you have gone without
food for such a long period of

diet must be eaten at breakfast.
Breakfast i s essential t o
