A Potpourri from the Catch-All
File: As the curtain falls on 1968
and rises on a brand, spanking new
1969, some will understand that in
itself the passing of years is noth-
ing. To the grass that grows each
year on the graves, it is only the
seasons that pass; to the water that
hurries away under the town bridge,
it is forever the same stream. Jan-
uary hath 31 days.
As the wild air stirs and sways
The tree-swung cradle of a child,
So the breath of these rude days
Rocks the year; be calm and mild
Trembling hours; she will arise
With new love in her eyes.
P. B. Shelley
Say, upon arriving home one eve
with Nellie Neighbor, we were both
astonished' at the sight we beheld.
iLo and Behold, who should be
standing in neighbor’s yard, con-
tentedly between shrubs but Bossy,
the Cow . . . The lights of the car
pointed up this scene as we swung
into neighbor’s driveway. Well, Nel-
lie Neighbor up and drove ole Bossy
away with Yippee Ki Yeaa — right
srnake into (yep, you guessed it) —
my yard. HuSband-Father wondered
later as I related the incident to
him, if one could slay a bovine and
cram it in the freezer with nothing
ever said about same — Speaking
of cows — if the jerks who insist
upon taking their dead! animals to
the dump ground could only realize
that State Health Laws are being
violated and that a simple, correct
phone ca'll to a rendering plant
would save them the trouble of
transporting the carcass, the dump-
ground could be maintained at a
more economical, healthier rate —
Say, in case you may be apt to for-
get, it isn’t long before President-
elect Nixon and Pat will be moving
into the White House. Hopei you’ll
share in all of the fun and excite-
ment as our new President (takes
over the reins of the state of our
nation . . . Speaking of reins, there
goes a horse without a rider; I have
to go check this out ... Be musing
again.
Something new has been put into
use at 'the Extension Soil Testing
Lab as a part of the Texas A&M
University Agricultural School at
Lubbock.
A specification meter is now be-
ing used to determine the amount
of nitrate nitrogen in West Texas
soils, reports Jim Valentine, area
soil chemist. “This promises to be
of real value to West Texas farm-
ers since the new test will lead to
increased accuracy in predicting
the amount of nitrogen fertilizer
needed for the next crop,” says
the chemist.
Research shows that heavy clay
loam soils are capable of accumu-
lating nitrogen when fertilizer rates
exceed crop removal. Recent soil
testing work done on these heavy
soils shows many instances Where
relatively high rates of readily ava-
ilable nitrate nitrogen are present.
Most often higher concentrations
of nitrate nitrogen are found where
heavy rates of nitrogen were ap-
plied last year to crops having a
low nitrogen requirement or where
heavy rates were applied to high
nirogen requiring crops and, for
some reason, the yield was low.
“The new test will be especially
valuable m evaluating the amount
of nitrogen needed for cotten and
other crops where excessive nitro-
gen may be undesirable from the
standpoint of lowering quality,” he
added.
In order for this new test as well
as the basic Soil test to be of most
value, the importance of collecting
a representative amount of soil for
analysis is stressed. Inadequate or
careless sample collection can give
misleading results. Suggestions for
sample collection and mailing are
available from the county agent.
