To help prevent food
poisoning, keep hot foods hot
and (old food cold and live
longer in good helath.
Specifically:
cook food thoroughly arid
serve them hot,
prevent recontaruination
through cleanliness and use
of sanitary utensil*.
promptly cool or freeze
food* after preparation to
retard bacteria multiplied
tion,
and. fully reheat stored
food* to destroy bacteria.
Iri a survey of 2.503
household*, HU percent of
tho^e sampled used at least
one high risk practice in
handling, preparing and
storing selected meat and
poultry products. Mo*t of
these high risk households
left fresh meat, poultry or
fish out at room temperature
for more than two hour*
thinking it was safe to eat.
They were wrong meat is a
haven for bacterial growth.
Over two and one half
million people were affected
in 1970 by Salmonellosis, one
of the major food borne
illnesses affecting man.
Many more case* go
unreported because people
assume they have a "bug" or
the flu.
Salmonella a group of
bacteria almost worldwide in
distribution may be found
in water, poultry, meat and
meat products, egg and egg
products, fish shellfish and
oysters. Kree/.ing does not
kill salmonella it only
prevents multiplication.
Many hometnakera are not
aware of the problems
involved with handling food
safely at home. Food
handling in the home is
extremely important and
one that most consumers can
correct.
Follow strict sanitation
measures because cleanli
ness in food handling is the
most important way to
prevent the bacteria from
being carried.

Project
A new I II Project, Kood
Preservation, is available to
club members. There is a 4 II
Member Guide and Record
Sheet. For those club
members who help their
mothers with canning, freez
ing, pickling and jams and
jellies, this is a good project.
Kor someone who would like
to learn how to preserve

beginning. For a copy of the

Texas brags of
no screwworms
The first screw w orm cases
fii*ri New Mexico since
October of last year were
identified in the lalioratory
early this month, says a t ' S.
Department of Agriculture
(USI)A) veterinarian. Texas
remain* screw worm free.
All three worm samples
came from navels of new
born calves on the Skeleton
Canyon Ranch in extreme
southwest New Mexico,
report* Dr. M.E. (Cotton)
Meadows, Jr., director of the
Animal and Plant Inspection
Service (APHIS) Screw
worm Eradication Program.
Owner John O'Bryne of
Animas collected all three
liildalgoCounty samples.
While no screw worm
cases are known to exist in
Texas so far this year, both
livestock owners and em
ployees of the APHIS
program are watching close
ly for first signs of the pest,
reports Meadows. A total of
115 samples of worms from
wounds in Texas animals
lor
have been submitted
lalioratory identification.
In addition, the Screw
worm Eradication Program
maintains a line of traps
along the Rio Grande from
the (iulf of Mexico to near
Laredo, and another in the
Big Bend area. No fertile
screw worm flies have been
caught in the traps to date.
Meadows says the Arizona
situation is far from ideal.
Ten positive screwworm
samples from Arizona ani
mals have been identified in
the laboratory at Phoenix
and subsequently in the lab
at Mission. Another ten
screwworm samples have
cleared the Phoenix lab and
are being sent to Mission for
a second confirmation of
their identification.
Early in April high winds
in South Texas resulted in a
five fold increase in the
number of sterile screw
womr flies caught in traps
ten miles north of the sterile
fly drop zone.
Cattle receipts
up 39 percent
Cattle receipts at Union
Stock Yards San Antonio
during the first three
months of 1978, registered
an increase of 39 percent.
This increase represented an
increase of 21,545 cattle and
calves for January. Febru
ary and March. The im
proved market conditions
and continued dry weather
caused the farmers and
ranchers to sell more than
7li,8t)5 cattle and calves
during the first three
months of 1978. This
represented an average sale
of more than 6,400 head per
week.
Just released figures show
that $54,590,451, were re-
turned to farmers and
ranchers from the sale of
344,182 head of livestock
during 1977.
Sales volume of hogs at
Union Stock Yards during
1977, continued to increase.
More than 6,000 hogs or
more, were sold during 1977,
than in 1976. 1977, also
showed the inauguration of a
new feeder pig auction, of
which is held the first
Tuesday of each month at 10
a.m., at Union Stock Yards.
This pig auction has been
very successful, and during
1978, continues to draw good
numbers of feeder pigs at
good prices.

The Alley Cabin
The Alley Cabin, built in 1836 by Abram Alley, one of Stephen F. Austin's
original "Old 300" colonists, is one of five early Texas homes on the Magnolia
Homes Tour in Columbus, May 20 and 21.

potassium. says Ronnie
Lindsey, county agent with
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
The label on the fertilizer
bag tells you what percent of
nitrogen, phosphorus, and
potassium is available in the
mixture, in that order. An
example would be 5 10 5 or
10 10 10, points out Lindsey.
To prevent over-spending
that well-earned dollar on
filler material, buy fertili-
zers according to the price
per pound of nutrients. For
example, one pound bag of
10-20-10 is equal to two
pounds of 5-10-5, but
compare the prices!
Specialty fertilizers for
use with specific plants are
available but are usually
more expensive. For ex-
ample, there are special
fertilizers for lawns, to-
matoes and azaleas, to name
a few. Of course, lawns
generally do better with a
high nitrogen fertilizer while
vegetable gardens can use a
little extra phosphorus.
Each year, new and varied
entertainment highlights the
Texas State Arts and Crafts
Fair in Kerrville. The official
state arts event will be held
Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day of the Memorial Day
Weekend. May 27, 28 and 29.
Lionel! Johnston, of NBC
television in New York, will
present a special program
featuring the diary of Eva
Hughes, a young Texas girl
before the turn of the
century. Used by special
permission, the diary is not
in strict chronological form.
It is told with the same
feeling and story like style
that distinguished the Diary
of Ann Frank.
Dramatic readings from
the diary will be presented
with musical selections of
historic Texas songs. Work-
ing with a very old book of
arrangements for voice and
guitar loaned by Mrs. Carl
Ellis. Lionel! is planning a
program of wide appeal
to those interested in the
history of Texas. One special
program will be presentedon
Saturday and one on
Sunday.
A regular on the NBC
television continuing drama
"Another World." Lionel!
Johnston has made many
guest appearances for tele-
vision. He also was in the
recent movie "Earthquake."
Strolling players Bill
Oliver and George Kiernan
provide more fun for
fairgoers. Bill plays a very
enthusiastic guitar and
sings. George, a mime and
acrobat, acts out the songs
with hilarious results.
The New Folk Concerts,
sponsored by the Kerrville
Music Foundation, return to
the fair with two concerts
each day on Saturday and
Sunday. Talents such as
Tom Paxton are featured.
Monday at the fair brings an
afternoon of winners in
concert. Beginning at 1 p.m.,

award winners. The 1978
National Yodeling Contest
winner will be featured on
the same program.

story teller Rose Gander.

Audie Hamilton, any fair
visitor will have the op-
portunity to see top quality
entertainment, on any day
he visits the fair. All

ment schedule" and mail

Texas Forest Service
offers advice on pines
There's gold in East Texas
the renewable green gold
of the piney woods.
East Texas pines and
hardwoods support a broad
range of business and
industry. More than 101,000
persons depend directly on
wood-using industries for
their livelihoods; and an-
other 930,000 persons were
employed in related or
dependent fields, according
to Texas Forest Service
surveys. Wood-using indus-
tries pump $2.2 billion
annually into local econo-
mies.
The future of this GREEN
GOLD and related jobs is not
secure. East Texas forest
resources are shrinking and
deteriorating. Many high
value pine sites are slowly
converting to pine-hard-
woods forests of correspond-
ingly lower timber value.
Losses of forest acreage to
other uses such as subdivi
sions and highways and
increasing demand for wood
products are depleting the
forest resource base.
Producing increasing
quantities of wood from less
land requires more intensive
management of the acres left
in production.
Professional forest
management advice is avail-
able to non-industrial land-
owners from the Texas
Forest Service, a rt of the
Texas A&M niversity
System. At no cosi a Service
forester will inspect your
land and prepare a forest
management plan tailored to
your personal long range
goals.

Service, P.O. Drawer G,

BASTROP COUNTY JUDGE
Active - Competent - Effective

too much local tax money goes to Washington.

tax payer of Bastrop County. He knows about
property taxes first hand . . . and he thinks property
