Exempt Licenses
Cover Young, Old
Austin.—Who hunts deer and
for how much—licenscwise that
is—creates the usual curiosity
this time of the year, according
to J. B. Phillips, coordinator for
law enforcement for the Parks
and Wildlife Department.
Persons under seventeen years
of age and over sixty-five years
of age may hunt deer free but
they must have exempt licenses,
said Phillips.
Likewise persons who hunt
deer on land they actualty live
on, may hunt free but they too
need an exempt license, he add-
ed.
A hunting license, covering
smalt game and big game as
veil, costs the non-exempt S3. IB.
Non-resident hunting license fee
$25, provides tags for out-of-
state hunters. All are available
at most sporting goods stores.
Authorized licensed deputies and
county clerks handle the li-
censes.
Licenses can be bought in
Alto at W. M. Thomas Hard-
ware Store.

observance of Thanksgiving Day.
'This day is set apart each

News From Your
County Agent
Johnnie A. McKay
Rain in the amount of one to
three inches over most of Chero-
kee County this past week gave
clovers and small grains a new
lease on life. Some of these pas-
tures are furnishing good grazing
at this time. Others need to be
deferred for a white longer until!
sufficient growth is obtained.
Crimson clover needs to be four
to six inches talt before cows
are turned in while small grains
igeneralty need .to be six to 10
inches tatt. Cows shoutd be re-
moved from clover when it is
grazed down to two to three In-
ches high and should be removed
from small grain when it is
grazed down to around four in-
ches high. The root system grows
indirect proportion to the a-
mount of top growth; so a good
Itop is necessary for a good root
system. A good root system, in
turn is necessary to help the
plants make quick growth when
the weather warms up and to
help the plant withstand cold
weather.
Proper grazing will give you a
much higher tonnage than over-
grazing.
This is National Farm City
Week. President Johnson pro-
ciaimed the period from Novem-
ber 20-26 as such. The purpose
of the national observance is to
promote better understanding be-
tween farm and city residents, to
increase the knowiedge and ap-
preciation of each other and to
bring attention to their interde-
pendence on one another in our
(American Way a! Life.
Cherokee County doesn't have
the same problems that counties
With big cities have; but it doesn't
hurt to pause once each year and
think about how difficult it
would be for city foiks to do
without the farmer and vice-
versa.
The week ends appropriately
with Thanksgiving Day. Let's all
be thanikfut for the ahtundianco
we have here in America and
for the freedom to utilize it.
Cherokee County livestockmen
will hear a parel discussion on
beef cattte records at their reg-
utar monthty meeting, Tuesday
night, November 24 at 7:3!) in the
Extension Council Room of the
courthouse in Rusk. The panel
will be composed of two local
producers, Ferrell Hicks of Welis
and T. L. Gary of Reece, and one
professional Agriculturat Econo-
mist, Mr. Wayne Taytor of
Nacogdoches.
Some of the items to be dis-
cussed will be how to start keep-
ing records, identification of ani-
mals, advantages and information
derived from records, informa-
tion that needs to be kept, sy-
stems that may be used ?nd other
items that wilt simptify keep-
ing records on your beef herd,
and still give you the informa-
tion needed to do a good job. All
livestock producers arc invited
to attend.
During the State Agricultural
Extension Conference the last of
October, Dalph Riscoe, Jr., presi-
dent of the Southwest Animal
Health Commission, presented a
Plaque to the county agents of
Texas for their assistance in or-
ganizing and carrying out the
Screwworm Eradication program.
Wc appreciated very much this
recognition and were happy to
have done our small part in help-
ing free the State of Texas of
this livestock pest.
Both brucellosis and leptorpiro-
sis continue to be a problem in
the county. If you have cows
that are aborting calves oc-
cassionally, have them blood
tested for both of these diseases.
Don't listen to the fellow that
says, "Don't worry, you're going
to tose a few calves now and
then." This kind of advice can
be costly.
If your neighbor is known to
be having trouble then you es-
pecially need to have your ani-
mals checked.
Mr. and Mrs. Don M<urchtson
of Tyler, spent Sunday here vis-
iting in the home of the tatter's
mother, Mrs. Wilmer Rozetle.
