REFUGIO COUNTY, TEXAS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1962 FOUR PAGES—TEN CENTS
TION — Three recovered tuberculosis patients watch Gov-
ernor Price Daniel sign a proclamation designating Novem-
ber 13 to December 24 as Christmas Seal Days in Texas. The
three, all of Austin, are representative of the fact that TB
respects no age — or race.
Joseph Miller, 4, was dismissed from the State TB Hos-
pital at Kerrville more than a year ago, but his father is still
hospitalized, and Joseph continues to take anti-TB drugs
regularly.
Mary Ann Hernandez, 12, has been away from a TB hos-
pital for three years, but her sister still remains hospitalized.
J. C. Burkhardt, a retired city employee, was hospitalized for
eight months with tuberculosis, is still on drugs. Said Gov-
ernor Daniel’s proclamation . . . “In Texas last year, 3,480
new cases of tuberculosis were reported.
Each of these is a potential source of infection to others.
Yet tuberculosis is a preventable disease which can be eradi-
cated. . . . The traditional Christmas Seal campaign is the one
annual appeal of the tuberculosis associations for funds to
make possible their year-round efforts to curb this needless
waste of human life and resources ...”

More Soil
Tests Made
Soil testing is being recognized
by Refugio County Farmers,
ranchmen and gardners as the ac-
curate way to determine the fer-
tility needs of their lands.
During the 1962 crop year, Sep-
tember 1, 1961 to September 1,
1962 a record total of 286 soil
tests were made for Refugio Coun-
ty soils by four soil testing lab-
oratories. This exceeded previous
record year 1959-60 by 700 per
cent.
During the 1959 - 60 season
some 1800 tons of commercial fer-
tilizer was used for crops where
as in the 1961 to 62 season 4,150
tons were reported used.
These figures show that people
are realizing more each year the
importance of soil testing and us-
ing fertilizer in accordance to soil
needs.
Those who draw social security
benefits, amd who will earn over
$1200 in the year, should observe
this special caution. If they find
they are earning more than they
estimated for this year, they
sould consult their social security
office. The amount of benefits
withheld is based on the original
estimate.
Cool, cloudy and damp wieather
has slowed down field work for
early morning start as som(e light
showers have continuously fell
each morning over spotted areas
of the county. Most all growers
are well along with fall land pre-
paration. .
Flax seeding has started in all
sections of county; som)e fields in
the Bonnie View community up to
a fair stand. Moisture is not gen-
eral and many growers will wait
for more favorable planting condi-
tions.
Fertilizer continues to be distri-
buted at a rapid pace in all sec-
tions of county. Damp mornings
have hampered completion.
Farm; vegetable gardens making
fair progress, all could use more
moisture. Insects have declined;
m'ustard and turnip greens are in
good supply.
Livestock conditions remain fair
Analysis of differences be-
tween proteins found in normal
and dystrophic muscle tissue
must be conducted at a tempera-
ture no higher than 35 degrees,
thus accounting for the parka
worn by the scientist shown
above, a division head at the
Institute for Muscle Disease in
New York City. This major re-
search center, the only one in
the world devoted solely to the
study of muscle and its patholo-
gies is sponsored by Muscular
Dystrophy Associations of
America.
to good. Sales have been slow.
Quite a few early calves are being
reported. Ear ticks remain a prob-
lem)- Screwwerms are being oc-
casionally reported in the south
and east edge of the county.
Ranges and pastures in fair to
good condition; depending on the
areas favored by recent moisture.
Generally, all ranges and pastures
would welcome a good soaking
in. Ranges in the western and
mid-sections of the county are
very dry. Clovers and cool season
grasses have made little to no pro-
gress. Warm season grasses are
maturing only a limited seed
crop. Angleton, medio and prac-
toria fall seed crop will be small
due to dry fall. Seeding of oats
for winter grazing early planting
have been damaged by army
worms and mpisture is badly need-
ed.
