Job On Yoakum-Hallettsville Hwy.
RAINFALL
A $653,331 contract has been
awarded to a San Antonio firm
for widening and improving 11.-
52 miles of the Yoakum-Hall-
ettsville highway, according to
latest announcements.
The 11.52 miles of Highway
77-A to he widened and re-top-
ped starts at the Shiner High-
way 95 intersection north of
• 'Yoakum and extends northeast-
ward to the Smothers Creek in-
tersection with Shiner Highway
90-A. From that point eastward
„ to Hallet tsville the highway has
already been widened and mo-
dernized.
The contract has been awarded
to Crea Brothers of San Antonio,
subject to the concurrence of the
Bureau of Public Roads it was
announced by the State Highway
Commission. Crea Brothers had
the low bid, it was reported,
thereby getting the contract.
Grading, foundation course
and asphaltic concrete pavement
is the description of the work
called for in the contract.
The job is expected to take
• 1300 working days according to
\i 6 Cornelius District High-
way Engineer at Yoakum.

eer at Yoakum, will be in ac-
tive charge of the project while
it is under construction.
Construction was expected to
start within about two weeks,
probably July 8th, weather per-
mitting.
Originally built as a strip of
concrete 18* feet wide, the Yoa-
kum-Hallettsville highway had
been widened to 22 feet by the
addition of narrow strips of pav-
ing at each side.
Its new measurement will he
26 feet wide, plus paved shoul-
ders 8 feet wide at each side,
Identical in size and design to
the roadway already built from
Smothers Creek to Hallet tsville.
Most of the old concrete high-
way will be the foundation un-
der the new and wider road, ex-
cept for short stretches half a
mile and three-quarters of a
mile in lengtn near Rocky Creek,
where steep hills will be cut
down to a lowei gi ale.
The road will be kept open
during construction, highway of-
ficials indicated.

j. Cappieman, State Director of
the FHA, at a recent meeting.
He said, “The Farmers Home
Administration has out over
$50,000,000 in loans to farmers
in the 51 counties that make up
the Operation BIG area. During
fiscal 1963 the FHA has made
over 3,000 loans to farmers in
this area for a total of over
$15,000,000.
“For instance,” Mr. Capple-
man said, “about 950 farmers
who use FHA credit are growing
about 100,000 acres in cotton.
About 82,000 acres will be fer-
tilized and 99,500 acres will I e
protected by the insect control
program advocated by FHA
They have borrowed $487,00(
for fertilizer and $610,000 foi
insecticides. About 630 of these
farmers are growing 32,000 acres
of grain sorghum, needing $161,*
000 for fertilizer. In order f *r
440 farmers to grow 14,000 aues
and of wheat, FHA loaned them
$67,000 for fertilizer. Over 910
farmers wanted to improve 26
000 acres of old pasture and
plant 10,000 acres in coastal
hermuda grass so FHA loaned
them $205,000 for fertilizer.

Firemen came from Edna and
Victoria, hut tin* fire was too far
gone by the time the trucks
vouched tin* site. Tin* fire fighters
concentrated their efforts on the
rectory and for a time it was
thought tin* fight was futile as
fire had already blazed up in the
rear of tin* building. The ceiling
was pulled down and four holes
were chopped in llu* roof in the
effort to snuff out the fire.
A Mass was offered at 9:00 A.
M. and in approximately 30 min-
utes tlu* lire alarm was turned
in. Victoria firemen got the call
at 10:35.
No cause could be given for
llu* fire, but pastor Jansky stated
that he noted much of the wiring
in the building was bad. First
part of the frame wooden build-
ing was built in 1880 with addi-
tions since.
Services will probably bo con-
ducted in the parish hall which
was only recently dedicated. The
Lutheran Church there has of-
fered its facilities for worship.

Pecans should be plentiful
once again this fall following a
disappointing crop in 1962, says
F. R. Brison, Professor of Hor-
ticulture at Texas A & M Col
lege.
Several factors were to blame
foi the scanty 79,000,000 pounds
produced in ’Texas last year,
says Brison. But in* predicts
that the 1963 yield will again in*
as large as was the 1961 crop
when 210,000,000 pounds were
grown.
"Tlie crop looks very promis*
, ing this year," says the horticul-
, V turist. “Shoots are heavily load-
ed wiih clusters and many dus-
ters have 4 to 8 pecans in them.”
Below average populations of
nut caschearcrs in another rea-
son In* gives for the bright pe-
can crop outlook. These pests
have been more effectively con-
trolled due to better spraying
program and hotter chemicals.
Malathion and Sevin were widely
used Iasi year and gave good
control of casebearers, Brison
says.

Production may receive sligh -
lv lower prices for their nuts
this fall duo lo large yields but
the quality of the pecans will
also greatly affect tin* price, he
says. The size and number of
pecans produced by a tree has
a phsiological effect on the
quality of the pecans it bears,
he adds.
Tin* horticulturist explains
that tin* loaf-nut ratio has an
influence on both the size and
the number of pecans a tree pro-
duces. There should be about It
compound leaves for each pecan
on the Iree, ho says, and the
maintenance of a good leaf-nut
ratio is an important production
practice. Controlling leaf des-
troying insects will help accom-
plish this,
Another production practice
that is especially Important dur-
ing dry weather is tin controlling
of competitive vegetation. 'This
may be done in the way common-
ly used by the producer whether
by grazing, mowing or cultiva-
tion, Brison says.

3.4 miles in this county will be

The Farm to Market Program
is a yearly roadbuilding under-

New farm roads will be built
in a total of 172 counties
throughout the state, the total
mileage being approximately 1,-

to the highway system by ibis
program, 60 per cent arc school
bus routes and 65 per cent are
mail routes.
Texas now has a designated
Farm to Market Road System
of well over 36,000 miles includ-

these miles having been built
