109 West Broad — Mineola
By Johnny Cates,
County Extension Agent
The Texas County Agricul
tural Agents Association met
last week in Amarillo for our
annual meeting. That was my
first trip to the High Plain area.
It was quite an inspiring trip
for an East Texan. The
vastness of the country gives
you a special feeling and made
you feel proud to be a Texan.
The support and prominence
of ■ agriculture in that area
makes me a little envious. The
big fields, dry climate, irriga-
tion, financial backing, and a
desire to succeed make their
economy prosper. All the
people are proud of agriculture
and what it means to the
economy of the area. They have
a unity about them, regardless
of the town or county they're
from. The big thing is
agriculture and everyone's
behind it.
East Texas will never
prosper in agriculture until we
put more emphasis on making
agriculture a first line priority.
Insports, a winner must have a
winning attitude. The same
goes for agriculture, everyone
must think it will work and it's
got to start with the farmers or
ranchers. We’ve been told for
years, that East Texas couldn’t
do anything and apparently we
believe what they say. I hope I
live to see the day when we
look at agriculture with a
positive attitude. When that
day comes, agriculture will
mean as much to East Texas as
it does to the high plains.
Pastures are good this year.
Looks like we’ll make plenty of
hay and have all the grazing
we'll ' need. I hear, some
comments about "standing
hay.” There ain’t no such thing
in East Texas. The grass that's
left standing after a killing frost
and about two good rains, is not
worth putting in a eow’s
stomach. She’ll starve to death
if she’s eating that “standing
hay". You’ll still have your
"standing hay” next spring
unless you starve the cattle into
eating it. The best thing to do is
cut and round bale the grass in
late October or early November
and leave it in the field for the
cattle to eat. In years like this
there’ll be enough ahay to last
until the first of January. This
grass will have 5 to 7 percent
protein and will maintain dry
