AQUARENA SPRINGS
Aquarena Springs, one of
Texas’ top visitor attractions,
is a paradise which beckons
anyone seeking leisurely en-
joyment. Located insan Mar-
cos, just 26 miles from Aus-
tin and 48 miles from San An-
tonio, Aquarena Springs offers
a variety ofattractions,afirs
class hotel, and a beautiful golf
course.
With the logo “Waterful
Wonderland," Aquarena Sp-
rings is nestled along the
headwaters of the San Marcos
River. Strolling amid the lo-
vely manicured grounds is a
delight in itself. Flowering
plants appropriate to the sea-

are advised to get into the
field early la the season, be-
cause the evacuation might be
complete by the season’s se-
cond week.
There is one wedge-eh<ie<
area of Central and North
@entral Texas which tradi-
tionally has good dove hunt-
ing—and this season probab-
ly will be no exception. This
area is roughly bounded on the
north by Wichita Falls, AD-
tone and Fort Worth, and ft
stretches south to near Aus-
tin.
Officials suspect that the
overall dove population may
be down slightly this year,al-
though it ispractically impos-
sible to determine at this time.
Last season, hunters bagged
approximately 9,000,000 bi-
rds. This was a rather low
figure, but due more to bed
weather and low hunter parti-
ctpation than a lack of birds.
There were heavy rains
over much of the North Zone
on opening day la 1970, and it
rained over much of the South
Zone on the first two weekends
of that season. Hunter surveys
indicate that many shooters
who have an unsuccesstul first
day decline to go out again ins-
til the next year.

“Organic matter plays an
important role in the physi-
cal make-up of a soil,” says
Dr. Charles Welch, soil che-
mist with the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service. "Al-
though the actual organic mat-
ter content of most mineral
soils is less than five percent,
it has a great influence on soil
properties and plant growth.”
Welch points out that the
loose, friable condition asso-
ciated with highly productive
soils generally is the result of
a relatively high organic mat-
ter content. Through itsbene-
ficial effects on soil struc-,
ture, organic matter increas-
es the rate at which water en-
ters the soil as well as the
amount of water the soil can
hold.
"As the rate at which wa-
ter can enter the soil increa-
ses, the rate of water run-off
decreases," he explains.
"Therefore, the erosion po-
tential of the water is decre-
ased."
When a soil takes in and
stores more water, it can sup-
ply more moisture for plant
growth, Welch adds. Where
enough water is available in
the soil, plants grow better
and produce larger amounts
of organic matter that can.be
organic matter cf de to star-
ted again.
Welch concludes by saying
that practices designed to keep
a relatively high organic mat-
ter level in the soil have pro-
ven to be excellent soil and
water conservation measures.
