BASTROP STATE PARK
Retreating into Bastrop State
Park recently were the more
than twenty members of the
Bluebonnet Retirees. Chap-
ter 63. of the (NCHA)
National Campers and
Hikers Association.
Having chosen Bastrop
State Park as their rendez-
vous point, and motoring in
from as far away as Texas
City. San Antonio, and
Waco. these gregarious
senior citizens were united
for their regular monthly
chapter meeting.
Apparently, a prerequisite
for being a retiree begins_
with a full committment to
partaking of and enjoying
a very busy activity schedule
and the desire and ability
to * consume mammoth
quantities of foods from the
area public eating houses.
If so. the Bluebonnet
Retirees are the epitome of
a perfect retiree group,
for their entire week at Bas-
trop State Park was filled
with volumes of activity.
Cook-outs, craft classes,
work-shops, campfire sing-
songs. sight seeing trips of
the surrounding areas,
and film nights depicting
wordly travels of various
members were all inter- v
Register Your Brand
In August Lexington's
Pioneer Village Museum
board staged a "Branding
Iron Party." On that occa-
sion 83 brands were regis-
tered and burned on spe-
cially prepared boards and
displayed across the porch
of one of the Pioneer Village
log cabins.
Because many ranchers
missed party no. 1 and would
like to have their brands in-
cluded 'n this tribute to this
history of the cattle industry,
branding iron party #2
has been scheduled for Sat-
urday. October 30. 1976.
The branding will begin at
3 p.m. at the museum ad-
jacent to Lexington's
town's square. Each randi-
er is asked to make a mini-
mum donation of $5 to the
museum fund for the privi-

ledge of burning his brand
on to this display and is also
asked to complete a registry
form giving any historical
points of interest concerning
their brand.
Many brands on display
at the museum site have
been used in the cattle
industry for more than 100
years. This information will
be maintained in a per-
manent register book in
the museum.
Ranchers and cattlemen
are again invited to gather
round the fire to preserve
a portion of our country's
history.
The evening meal will be
available. Further details
will be announced as they
are formulated.
Branding iron party #1
was fun and most interest-
ing. Party #2 should also be
a time of enjoyment. Every-
one is invited to watch the
branding and enjoy the even-
ing meal together - Octo-
ber 30.

State Field Directors Ed
and Martha Voorhees were
present for this chapter's
monthly meeting. The Voor-
hees explained that all chap-
ters of the NCHA Retirees do
inueed travel frequently
throughout the state of
Texas. Chapter president
Sid Murray illustrated this
remark by unfolding up-
coming travel plans for
Chapter 63. Their jouneys
include a week at Lady Bird
Park. Fredericksburg: a
week at Circle Inn. Rock port;
and then on to Florida for
the annua! national meet of
all retirees. Historically,
the annual meet has always
attracted well over one:
thousand travel trailers,
occupied by fun loving senior
citizens.
Retirees Rue and Herman
Harrell and Jessie and Fred
Moree from Smithville are
active members of Chapter
63 of the Bluebonnet Re-
tirees. Should you be re-
tired and looking for some-
thing to do. why not call
the Harrells or Morees —
that is if you can catch them
at home, for rumor has it
that retirees travel a lot.
Hill Country ranchers and
hunters are this month being
introduced to a new deer
feed high in protein am*
phosphorus which will
likelv result in bigger with
better horns.
The product, a small
pellet ... a flavor and odor
to attract deer and other
tame, was produced by
alston Purina Company's
Research staff in St. Louis.
Mo., after one of their dis-
trict managers. Henry
Payne of Bu*-net. suggested
the need for such a feed.
Payne, who services 14
dealers in six Hill Country-
counties — Burnet. Blanco.
Hays. Travis. Mason, and
Llano — says the idea was
a joint one between him and
a Marble Falls Purina
dealer. Bobby Burnam.
Both men are convinced
that the deer like the pro-
duct.
"You can tell they are
smelling for it when they
mmp into a feeding 2f?2
where the new feed is
spread." Payne savs.
Once Purina researchers
were presented with the idea
in June, it was only a matter
of weeks before the new
f, feed, designed. tg be dis-
? tributed in a self-feeder,
or by hand, was developed
and "on the market."
' "Ranchers and those with
hunting leases are just now-
starting to feed deer on their
land prior to the hunting
season." Payne said. "In
Burnet county, for sure,
they're anxious to do what-
ever is necessary to manage
their deer and maintain
the heavy deer population —
and. of course, bring the
hunters back from vear to
year.
So far. the product is onlv
being offered in Texas — be-
cause Texas is deer-feeding
country.:
The feed, hastily offered
to dealers, is packaged m
a 50-lb. checkerboard bag.
which is being called "Deer
4 Game Checker". Soon,
however, the bag will be
illustrated with a picture of
a deer.
Providing feed for deer
hunters and ranchers is
a big business in Texas
hill country , and both Burn-
am and Payne lamented the
fact that many buyers rely
on com for their game.
"Deer can actually starve
to death eating corn."
said Payne. "Nutritionally,
it does them no good."
"The real beauty of the
new feed is that a rancher
can determine just how much
he wants to feed his deer -
through automatic timers
and self-feeders." Pavne
in South Texas.
More and more ranchers
are using the new product,
and the end result will be
healthier, more plentiful
deer in top-notch condition
when the hunters descent on
the hill country in November.
