mended his entire department on their
efforts at the scene of the fire and

family and pet were not harmed in the
blaze.
Local firefighters once again
showed their professionalism and
demonstrated that they can becounted
on to battle fires. Just as important,
they demonstrated their compassion
for life in any form, as well as for the
victims of catastrophes.
Tulia firefighters respond without
pay and put their own lives on the line
so our community can be safe. Our
hats go off to members of the Tulia
Volunteer Fire Department and the
otherdepartments in Swisher County.
HORNETS . . .
Courtney Bibbs #21 finished running
the last several yards for the touch-
down. Hornet Harris Gore #30 broke
through the line to block the point
after attempt. Eagles now led 6-0.
The Hornets and Eagles traded
punts on the next couple of series.
The Eagles got on the scoreboard
again on a 30 yard reverse that fooled
the aggressive Hornet defense. After
making good on the two-point con-
version attempt the Eagles led the
closely fought game 14-0
The tide of the game completely
changed on the Hornet's next offen-
sive series. Tulia, then in their two-
minute offense, hoped to pass the
ball. Onthefirstplay, JoshGarza#10

moving forward the umpire would
have to rule incomplete pass, and if
not, it would be a fumble. It was a
close call for the umpire and he ruled
it a fumble, giving Roosevelt the ball
on the Tulia 24 yard line. Four plays
later the Eagles scored a touchdown.
Because of a penalty in the point after
attempt, Roosevelt had a second
chance for the extra point. Two ex-
traordinary defensive plays prevented
the PAT, keeping the score 20-0
Eagles at the end of the first half
The Eagles scored a 45 yard touch-
down to start the second half. They
only had two possessions where they
actually drove the length of the field.
Roosevelt’s other scores came on the
two fumbles in the first half and the
two unsuccessful punts deep in Hor-
net territory in the second half.
The tough Hornet defense was led
by Garza, who had a game high 15
tackles. John Mark Gibson #11 and
Tyrell Lashmet #50 were also major
contributors to the defense.

play of the game had Burrow at wide
receiver crossing behind the line of
scrimmage directly in front of the
quarterback. The receiver provides
an option to either run with the ball or
become a decoy to fool the defense.
This time, Burrow took the hand-off

Out At The Farm
by John Herring .
I admire the farmer who can
pleasantly respond to change andjust
go along with the flow and make the
best of it. Unfortunately, it is very
easy to fall into the rut of griping
about change and wishing for a re-
turn of the way it used to be I think
my age is definitely catching up with
me because I no longer greet change
with the enthusiasm I once did. The
fact is, many changes are a result of
things so far beyond our control that
we best just “grin and bear it ”
Actual farming practices are
changing fast right here in Swisher
County as well as across the country
and around the world. Herbicide re-
sistant crops have saved a lot of tradi-
tional inputs from being used. We no
longer make the trips through the
fields we once made. It saves labor,
wear and tear on equipment, fuel,
moisture, and indirectly, soil erosion
Less wear and tear on equipment
means less implement dealers are
needed We just lost our John Deere
dealership here in Tulia and Corpo-
rate John Deere will not allow an-
other one to come in. That seems so
wrong, but perhaps it is really wise.
Will we ever need two implement
dealers in town again?
Larger equipment that makes the
individual farmer more efficient re-
sults in less need for farmers and
those who service him Unless some
other industry takes up the slack does
this mean that progressive farmers
result in a dying rural community?
Our irrigation water supplies
began a serious decline in the 1960s
that continues today Local school
enrollment has had the same trend.
The adaptation of sprinkler systems
that required only low pressure to
operate and were very efficient slowed
the local decline in the ag economy
but couldn’t stop it. The change from
year's 3-7 team.
Lockney has one potential All-state
player i n scmorLandon Schumacher,
6-8 310, who plays offensive tackle
and defensive tackle. The Hornets
also will have to contend with junior
quarterback Ben Sherman, 5-9 170,
and senior Todd Cotham, 6-1 195,
offensive guard and defensive end.
gram production to cotton produc-
tion compensated for lower irrigation
supplies but by now have had their
peak benefit. Other ag developments
have helped the farmer but the de-
cline in the rural economy continues.
The survivors have to continue to
adapt to change, not resist it. I, too,
wish we didn’t have to deal with all
the changes m the new farm program
but I realize we are fortunate to have
a program After all, there are a lot
more city voters and a lot less farm
voters than there used to be.
We recently visited with family
and friends in the metroplex and
found out they are seeing changes,
too Atmospheric pollution in the city
sounded very scary to me. Pollution
levels are part of the everyday news
report There are simply too many
people living in too small an area.
Even with all the anti-pollution laws
for industry and anti-pollution de-
vices on cars, the problem still in-
creases.
Perhaps someday there will be
another change that allows some of
the jobs from the crowded urban ar-
eas to spread out into the depressed
but clean rural areas. Since “Big
Brother” is so good at making rules
and creating artificial economies
maybe he should dictate the type of
jobs that should be done in rural
settings.
Instead of sending the mail from
small towns to the city to be pro-
cessed, let’s send it from the city to
the small towns. Instead of sending
check processing from the rural
branch banks to thecity, let’s send the
job from the city to the small town.
How about printing stampsand money
a rural town instead of Washing-
ton, D C. or Denver? The list goes on
and on.
