Thfe Vances enjoyed Daniel
Dawson's visit with them Tuesday
and his having lunch with us. He is
a dedicated person to the Methodist
Church, and has much interest in
the community as a whole, con-
tributing interest, time and means.
.' If all community residents were
as interested as Daniel Dawson,
progress in all phases of living and
the environment would, or could be
outstanding. It would reminds us of
when rural progress was in com-
munity competition, and the com-
munity worked together in clean-
up, nx-up, paint-up, and teams
worked together cleaning roadsides
of trash, and the expression of
some that picked up trash was, “I’ll
never throw even a cigarette paper
out again.” There was a lot of
community pride, and social events
meant much to the church, school
and the community.
Rex Acker was at his retreat for
the weekend. He enjoys the quiet
away from the city hustle and
bustle.

Whitlock one day last week. They

Sludge from treatment plant
great fertilizer\ officials say
Bj BOB MERRIMAN
Sludge is the stuff left over at the City of Sulphur
Springs' waste water treatment plant after the water
is treated and released to flow downstream.
Sludge is not released into streams and other
waterways, though about 95 percent of it is liquid.
The remaining 5 percent — the solids — com-
bine with the liquid to make good fertilizer for
fields and pastures. There are a couple of drawbacks
to the use of sludge as a fertilizer, though. If the
sludge is placed on a pasture on which beef cattle
normally graze, the cattle must be kept away from
the pasture for at least 30 days. Dairy cattle must be
kept off sludged fields for a year.
Around here, farmers “use sludge as fertilizer
mostly on hay fields,” said Craig Vaughn, manager
of the waste water treatment plant. It makes the
grass grow.
