«nd Felix Chilok of Dreyer
cheeked with us on the control
ol cotton insects. Before the
rains came, the only insect da-
maging cotton was the red spi-
der.
Before the trains boll weevil
and boll were not a problem but
with the continued shower acti-
vity they are building up. Da-
maging infestations could hit.
We suggest all cotton growers
watch their fields closely.
Dmiitt Comity Pecan
Growers .Association
Mrs. John Ley and John Bra-
den, Jr. met recently to develop
a proposed constitution and by-
laws for the newly organized pe-
can growers association.
Any one interested in pecans
Is invited to join. Dues are $1.00
per year. Lewis Blank, Rt. 4,
Cuero is Treasurer of the organ-
ization and will accept payment
of dues from anyone who wishes
to Join.
Fish and Farm Ponds
A farm pond stocked with
fish that is properly managed
can supply not only wholesome
recreation but also food for the
table.
One of the management fac-
tors most neglected is fishing the
pond. For each acre foot (one
foot of water on one acre) of
water the pond should be fished
from 300 to 500 man hours per
yeaf.
A pond covering one quarter
acre of surface area with an a-
verage depth of six feet would
have one acre feet of water.
This pond, then should lx* fished
from 450 to 750 hours per year.
If you can’t fish your pond
this much invite vour friends to
fish. Ponds, like pastures, cun
become overstocked.
Applying for Fish
While on the subject of fish-
ing if you have a farm pond that
you want to stock come by the
office. We have the forms to
complete.
Soil Testing
As soon as your crop is har-
vested is a good time to have soil
analyzed for both fall and win-
ter crops as well as crops to be
planted next spring.
The unusually dry spring we
had has shown us that fertili-
zer, when applied in adequate
amounts and properly, pay as
big dividends if not bigger than
when soil moisture is adequate.
Today many cropping and fer-
tilization recommendations are
baaed on soil testing informa-
tion, and many farmers and
ranchmen are making use of
soil testing laboratories in Tex-
as to obtain this information.
A new bulletin of the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service
explains just what soil testing
is and how it can be list'd by
the producer. “Test Your .Soil
for Profits” says that soil test-
ing is a scientific method to de-
termine the fertility needs of a
particular field. It explains that
chemical means urn used to de-
termine soil reaction (pH), or-
ganic matter, available phospho-
rus. available potassium, avail-
able calcium, and soluble salts.
Soil salinity can also be deter-
mined by special testing techni-
ques.
Soil tests can be used as a
basis for fertilization and lim-

ing of soils, according to the
bulletin. Also, a soil test can
help the producer determine
what crop is best suited to his
land, how much that crop should
yield, and if the soil is infested
with nematodes, insects or di-
seases.
In taking soil samples, obtain
one from each major soil type)
in the field, using a spade, soil
auger, or soil tube. Information
sheets can be obtained from tfte
local county agricultural agent
and should be filled out as eonir
pletoly as possible and sent a-
iong with tin.1 samples, the bul-
letin says.
Under high levels of produc-
tion or high rates of fertiliza-
tion soils should tie tested every
year hut with lower production
they may be taken at two or
three year intervals.
Soil testing lakes the guess-
work out of fertilizing and in-
sures better profits from the use
of fertilizing, concludes the bul-
letin. For a copy of L1265, “Test

With WXUJS HINDS
In last Friday’s issue of tlVs
paper, June 21, wc read where
a reunion of the descendants of
Mr. and Mrs. Alex Stoarrrer,
Sr., was held in the City Park,
on Sunday, June 9. It might be
well that this old writer didn’t
know about this reunion as they
might have had an un-inuted
guest - me.
1 did love Alex Stoermer, Sr.,
so much. He and his brother -
can’t recall his name, hut seems
it was Adolph, however we kids
were not very much concerned
over their first names, as they
were always, “Mr. Stoermer,” to
us. They operated the old cistern
factory out on deep Lott, Street.
They were two great guys and
had the greatest esteem and res-
pect of all the small boys be-
cause they would tolerate our
hanging around their place of
business.
On Saturdays they would o-
perale a grist mill, in connec-
tion with their other operations.
That was the day they’d grind
up the farmer’s corn into meal
and on that day they’d always
allow one of our gang to put in
a full day’s work for fifty cents.
It was a happy lad that I was
when my turn came to work on
Saturday. Would have been hap-
py to work for nothing just
for the honor and glory we got
out of being part of the personel.
Their main occupation, was to
build cypress cisterns, but they
could do anything. They had a
large wood turning lathe tha!
would turn out the most beauti-
ful front porch posts. In the
fall they’d cook up a quite a
hatch of sorghum syrup. Had a-
bout four or five huge cooking
vals which they kept going, all
through the sorghup cane sea-
son. Their machinery was right
up to date and when the rail-
road started burning crude oil,
for fuel, they immediately con-
verted their big steam boiler
from a wood burner to an oil
burner. Inside their building
they had huge hand dug well,
had two pumps down near the
water, that kept a constant
stream of water running all the
time, these pumps were operat-
ed by long pump rods working
of a large hull wheel at the top.
Along about that time, a man
by the name of Stuckey, who
iperated a lumber ,rard in Yoa-
kum, hanged himself in his lum-
ber yard, using a length of hea-
vy sash cord. The Stoermer bro-
thers had a piece of this sash
cord tacked up on a \wst, in their
work shop, near the wood lathe.
This little piece of rope intri-
gued me terribly, and today,
I’m wondering if this little pice
of sash cord, it still in the pos-
cession, of the Stoermer family.
One day, our old wooden cis-
tern bursted, and the Stoermer
boys were called in to put it
back together again, and I can
still see them as they’d walk
around that old cistern, high up
on the scafford, pushing a small
handled wheel around and a-
round, measuring the cistern for
the size of the hoops they ri-
veted together and put on to
hold il together. Never could
figure how they could measure
anything with that little wheel.
Page Four — YOAKUM I1ERALD-T1ME8, Yoakum, Texaa Tuesday July 2, 1963
Yes, they were two great guys
and l’H never forget my happy
kid days hanging around that
old cistern factory.
Read another int('resting ar-
ticle in this same paper, oi the
rites held for Mrs. Emma Own-
by Jaeger. 77, who resided at
204 Warren Street, who died in
a Victoria rest home, Wednes-
day June 19. Among her sur-
vivors, was a sister, Mrs. Ruth
Jaeger of Hochheim. This made
me feel rather sad, as 1 knew
both these ludics when they were
teen age girls, living in Hoch-
heim. Often times when wo boys
would go camping out on Guada-
lupe River, near Hochheim, we’d
stop by their home. We were
always sure of a good country
cooked meal and in the evening
we’d sit around in the parlor
and were entertained by these
two girls who had a nack of en-
tertaining strangers and .show-
ing their warmest hospitality.
During the many years that
have gone by since those happy
moments. I’ve often wondered
just what became of these two
winsome lasses - now 1 know.
Ring the Hell
The fourth of July falls on
Thursday, this year, and that is
the day the freedom bolls will
ring and ‘tis said that some
mighty old bells will be ringing,
that day, and it is my hope that
the Yoakum fire boys will ring
that old bell sitting out in their
>oai\ It was Yoakum’s first fire
bell and when I was a very
small child, I’d always duck un-
der the covers, or under the bed
when it would start ringing.
This Thursday, if it starts
ringing, I’ll be parked close a-
round, with my tajie recorder
all cockl'd and primed, and if it
goes the full two minutes, I’ll
nave a recording I’ll always
prize as my most valuable col-
lection of tape recordings. Will
play i! back at our next Old Sap
Roundup.
Labs Testing Coastal Bermuda Soils
To Determine Fertilizer Requirement
Many fields that will be sprig-
ged to Coastal Bermuda are be-
ing tested for soil fertility by
the three A and M College Soil
Testing Laboratories, says Wil-
liam Bennett, soil chemist with
the Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
Many nf Ihosp fields are old
worn-out land which is low in
fertility, says the chemist. For
Coastal to come up to the ex-
jiectations of farmers on this
type soil, it must be fertilized
adequately. The use of the cor-
rect amount and grade of ferti-
lizer is necessary for quick es-
tablishment of Coastal, he adds.
The laboratories have also re-

/TML
ceived samples from fields that
have been in Coastal Bermuda-
grass for many years, says Ben-
nett. Some of these soils show
a build-up of phosphorus and a
depletion of potassium and cal-
cium which was attributed to
high rates of fertilization. A de-
crease in I he TMt of the soils
under moderate to heavy ferti-
lization was also noticed. These
samples, along with fertility ex-
periments, have shown that soil
tests can be used to measure
nutrient depletion. Thus, the
qi(i»ntlitiies iof plant nutrients
needed to obtain maximum pro-
fits from the use of fertilizer
on Coastal Bermuda can be de-
termined, explains Bennett.
During March and April the
three soil testing laboratories
received a total of about 6,000
samples from all types of farms.
Seven counties submitted more
than 100 samples each. Hale
county farmers sent 253, the
largest number. Hale county was
closely followed by Harris, Hen-
derson, Lamb, Swisher, Bailey |
and Lubbock counties.
In addition to samples from I
state farmers about 150 were
submitted by out-of-state pro-
ducers. Navada led the list with
117, followed by New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado
and Arkansas. A total of 61 sam-
ples came from Mexico.
Hot Market

The lwrkct Friday at the
Cuero Livestock Commission Co.
Inc., wus a repetition of the week
before which was a hot market,
according to Finley Blackwell
co-owner.
All classes of slaughter cattle
showed another good increase in
price with two shipments of 100
head of good fat yearlings out
of local fead lots averaging $24.-
96 on one and $24.68 on another.
This was full $1 increase.
Cows were also very active
and in spots, $1 higher.

Anhydrous Ammonia
For Bermuda
James Garner was applying
150 pounds per acre of Anyh-
drous Ammonium to his Coast-
al Bermuda Grass Friday morn-
ing .according to Co. Agent Jack
Lindsey.
James was using a new im-
plement he has rigged up. It
does no damage whatsoever to
the grass. He runs a big coulter
just in front of a chisel cutting
a narrow trench about six in-
ches deep and applies the Ni-
trogen at the bottom of this
trench. Then a press wheel runs
just behind the chisel and com-
pletely seals in the nitrogen.
The rig has six such chisels
18 inches apart.
Other such equipment usually
tears the sod up too bad but
James was really doing a neat
job and Coastal Bermuda really
loves Nitrogen.
