W. E. TAYLOR
W E Taylor of Lamesa, father
of Roy Taylor and Mrs. F A Rob-
inette, died in the Lamesa Medical
Hospital Tuesday, May 31. follow-
ing a lengthly illness. Services
were held Thursday in Lamesa,
with burial in Lubbock City Cem-
etery. Attending the services from
here were: Mr and Mrs Roy Tay-
lor, Mr and Mrs. Bob Hamby, Mr.
and Mrs Don Taylor, Mr and Mrs.
F A. Robinette and Dianne.
The deceased was a pioneer of
Lubbock, having moved there in
1906. He had visited his son and
daughter and families here at va-
rious times in the past fifteen
.years.
Besides Roy and Mrs. Robinette,
he is survived by his widow, Jan-
ie; three daughters, Mrs Henry
Maasen, Lamesa; Mrs. Lee Roy
Knight Tahoka; and Mrs H. H.
Ridings, Orland. California; two
sons, J B . Lamesa; and L E , Sem-
inole; one brother, W G Taylor,
Coleman; 15 grandchildren and ten
great-grandchildren.
With the harvesting of small
grain all but completed In the Dis-
trict, the plowing of crop reaidues
has begun Possibly every type of
plow known was teen in the fields
prior to the rains. Several farm-
era use only chisel and sweep type
plows, others are using one-ways
followed by chisels while others
are using only one-ways or mold-
board plows.
We are again fortunate in having
a good crop of straw this year.
What use we make of it, may de-
termine what generations to follow
will have. Wet years tend to
make us forget the dry years.
Have you ever tried to imagine
what would happen If all the resi-
dues in the country were complete-
ly destroyed and we had two years
of complete drouth. You say it
cannot happen. The Bible indi-
cates that this is exactly what peo-
ple told Noah about the flood
They too were proven wrong.
Residues left on or near the sur-
face of the soil are beneficial in
many ways. Residues left on the
surface of the soil, during the
summer' months will reduce the
temperature of the soil as much
as 20 degrees. Field studies made
last summer indicated that when
the air temperature reached 100
degrees the soil temperature under
cover was 91 degrees compared to
113 degrees on clean tilled land.
Adequate residues left on the
ground also protect the soil from
blowing during the fall months
prior to establishment of next
WILL KNOWN RANCHER
LOWE STOUT PASSES
Lowe L. Stout, 70, diad on the
‘ night of May 30th, at his ranch
home. He had suffered previously
with a heart ailment, and evident-
ly his heart Just quit working
while he slept
Funeral services were held Wed-
nesday afternoon at the First Bap-
tist church in Seymour conducted
by Rev. Wm. J Spreen, and as-
sisted by Rev. W. R KarkaliU. A
special song. "The Last Roundup,"
was given by Rev. Karkaltts, ac-
companied by Mrs O. H. Bartley.
The large auditorium was filled
with the relatives and friends who
came, and the church altar was
filled with the floral offerings.
Interment was in the Cache
Creek community, in the family
plot there, with arrangements in
charge of the Harrison Funeral
Home. Pallbearers were; Charles
Porter, McDonald Tabh, Randal
Hamby. Roy Boone, Ralph Howe,
and George W. Higgins, Jr.
Something quite unusual is giv-
en in an account of the life of the
deceased. The tribute given by
Rev Spreen in his sermon seemed
so appropriate that » part of it is
quoted below;
Lowe L. Stout was born Novem-
ber 7, 1890, in the Hog Creek Com-
munity of Throckmorton County,
the son of J P. and Eliza Sadler
Stout. He died May 30, 1961, at
his home in the Miller Creek com-
munity. On January 12, 1926, he
was married to Mary Alice Rob-
ertson His survivors include his
wife, Alice; two sons, Jack and
Jimmy; four daughters Mrs. Patsy
Cooper, Jo Alice Stout, Betty Lynn
Stout and Trixie Stout. He was
preceded in death by an infant son
in 1939.
Other survivors include five
Lowe Stout was devoted to his
family, and his family was devoted
to him. He held the church In
nigh esteem, while he never for-
mally identified himaalf with any
one group He was baptised In the
Methodist church when a child.
In his civic community Ufa it
would be hard for us to separate
the community life of Baylor
County and Seymour from the life
of Lowe Stout. He loved people,
always had a friendly word that
cheered them on thlr way. He was
associated with everything that
was for making Seymour and Bay-
lor County a better place to live.
It will be hard to visualize a Grand
Entry at our Annual Rodeo with-
out Lowe Stout. He was always
its key man. He always had a
special personal greeting for every
cowboy. I have been a member
of many committees which he was
either the chairman or a member.
They prized highly his Judgment.
This ha shared in a quiet and sin-
cere manner. Lowe Stout never
had an enemy, and I never heard
Lowe Stout say an unkind thing
about anyone.

FEED GRAIN PROGRAM
From the three hundred ninety
one Feed Grain Farms in the coun-
ty, two hundred fifteen signed In-
tentions to Participate in the 1961
Feed Grain Program, according to
Mrs. Leola Wirz, Baylor County
ASC Office Manager. The base
acreage of 4627 signed up in the
program represents approximately
thirty five percent of the total base
acreage for Baylor County, Mrs.
Wirz stated
will begin the latter part of June
It is expected that field work
At that time farmers will be asked
to designate the acreage which
they wish to divert under the pro-
gram in order that measurements
of the acreage may be made

in the young people of the county
and devoted much time to their
activities This was especially in
4-H and F F A. Club work
Perhaps one of his major inter-
ests was the Rodeo For a number
of years Lowe never missed a
show and was instrumental in
helping produce many a good ro-
deo.
His best trait was his love of
people and helping them try to see
the brighter side of life. People
could talk to him and feel that
their troubles had been lifted Us-
ually he knew a little joke to fit
the occasion or knew something
funny that helped dwarf your trou-
bles. For several years his favor-
ite pastime had been cutting out
and s.nding cartoons to his friends.
This gave him genuine pleasure.
The measure of a man's true char-
acter is not found in fame, fortune,
nor position, but rather in what he
stands for and his attitude’s toward
family, church and community.

ited his mother in Marlow, and
found her improved sufficiently
that she can walk some. She fell
last December and broke her hip
and for a while it seemed she
might not recover.
