The Polled Hereford Preview
Show held here last weekend
was a real Success by all
standards. Chuck Talley, Sec-
retary of the Texas Polled
Hereford Association, told me
the people of Coleman had
spoiled him. The ability, effici-
ency and know how they
possess and utilize in events
such as this makes Coleman an
attractive place for events such
as this.
Some exhibitors from Splen-
dora (just outside of Houston)
passed a real compliment on
Coleman. The Elliott family,
who were showing heifers last
week, said Coleman was one of
the cleanest towns they’d been
to in a long while. They also
said the people here made them
feel very welcome and were so
friendly they just couldn’t
believe it.
I think that's a real tribute to
our county.
There will be an open youth
horse show in conjunction with
the County Fair, so all of you

RANGE FIRES
POSE THREAT
Hot, dry summer weather
combined with plenty of vege-
tation from spring rains is
increasing the fire hazard on
many Texas ranges, says a
range specialist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, Range fire prevention is
everyone’s job, from the out
door recreationist to the land
owner and rancher. County
rural fire control groups should
be organized as soon as possible
where none exists. Fires
destroy vegetative cover which
leads to increased soil erosion
and water run-off. They also de-
stroy feed for livestock and
food and cover for wildlife and
produce an “eyesore" to man.
Visiting with the J. T,
Alewines are Mr. Alewine's
sister and hei* children, Mrs.
Wanda D'Ambrosio, Theresa
and Anthony of the Bronx in
