We received a nice postal
from Mr. and Mrs. 0. E. Behr
who are spending a few days in
Boise, Idaho. They stated there
was a lot of rough country in
Idaho.
An angling party including
Ed. Whitworth of Boerne and R.

Maxwell, all stationed with the
Navy in Corpus Christi had a
big time hauling in speckled
trout and reds on their last trip
ih the area between markers 167
and 190 near Padre Island. The
four reeled in 96 reds and trout
that weighed a total of 225
pounds. They were using shrimp
for bait.—Outdoors, San Anton-

ROOSTERS AND
POLITICIANS
Did you ever notice people
in public life who make you
think of roosters in the act of
flapping their wings and crow-
ing? They both make a lot of
noise, but don’t say much.
The Atlantic City Press
quotes an authority as saying
that all you have to do to quiet
the silence-splintering rooster
is build a ceiling 12 to 18 inch-
es hgh over the roost where the
head of the flock rests at night.
When the rooster raises his
neck at the crack of dawn to
shatter some delicate nervous
system, he will give his head a
smart rap on the board above
his hoost. This will so surprise
him he "will forget to crow.
It is too bad the plan out-
lined by the Press cannot be ap-
plied to many political figures
—a ceiling on which they would
crack ther heads when arising
to sound off like a rooster.
FOOD AND GASOLINE
We have read much about
Guatemala recently. As usual
where Communism is involved,
discord and revolution brought
misery and loss to the common
citizen.
The country’s economy was
sagging badly after the new
anti-Communist government
took over. An interesting com-
mentary on the situation ap-
peared in Newsweek which said,
“Food and gasoline were short
and inflation was depressing the
quetzal.”
It is rather startling to see
gasoline braketed with food.
One does not ordinarily think
of it as being so vital a neces-
sity, and yet what would hap-
pen in the United States if the
gasoline supply were shut off
for even a few days? Confusion
would be complete in cities and
on the farm, and in many cases
food would be unobtainable.
The United States can be
thankful that it has the great-
est systems of food and gaso-
line distribution in the world.
The two can be rightly paired
together as necessities.
Little daytime errors become
serious highway hazards after
sundown.
FATTENING
A man visited a doctor as he
was worrying about his heart.
“Do you smoke much?” in-
quired the doctor.
“About 15 cigars a day.”
“You’ll have to cut down. It
will be hard but try to be satis-
fied with one after each meal.”
A few weeks later the man re-
turned for a check-up. The doc-
tor complimented him on the im
provement of his health. “You
see, that’s what happen when
patients follow their doctor’s
orders.”
“Well, it isn’t always easy to
do,” said the visitor. “Some-
times it’s hard to eat 15 meals
in one day.”
ARMED
While getting her things to-
gether for a visit with her
grandmother, little six-year-old
Effie ran to the bookcase and
brought back three books: “Pe-
ter Rabbit,” “Little Black Sam-
bo” and “Child Guidance.”
“Effie,” said her mother,
“you won’t need that ‘Child
Guidance.’ ”
“Oh, yes I will,” replied the
child. “Grandma still believes in
spanking.”
CAUGHT
First candidate—“There’s on-
ly one honest way to make mon-
ey.”
Second candidate — “And
what’s that?”
First candidate — “Ha! I
thought you wouldn’t know!”
APPOINTMENT KEPT
The big businessman had died
tand gone to—well, not heaven.
Hardly had he settled down for
a nice long smoke when a hearty
hand slapped him on the back
and into his ear boomed the
voice of a persistent salesman
who had pestered him so much
on earth.
“Well, Mr. Smith,” chorteled
the salesman, “I’m here for the
appointment.”
“What appointment?”
“Don’t you remember? Every
time I entered your office on
earth you told me you would
see me here/’
Your speedometer is the only
sixth sense you can depend on
—Use it wisely.

Hilmar Knoll, who is operat-
ing the John Less ranch west
of Boerne, said good range man-
agement is paying off for them
even though we are in a drought.
Knoll has practiced rotating
stock for the past three years
so as to keep one or more pas-
tures resting at all times. He
has cut cedar and drilled one
new well in the back of one big
pasture. As the dryweather con-
tinued, he has reduced his stock
in accordance. He sold off a
number of cows last year and
will sell more if the drought con-
tinues. Knoll said, “Through
complete deferments, clearing
cedar, and reducing livestock
numbers, our cattle are now in
better condition too even though
we are in a severe drought.”

Henry Ellidge, foreman of the
UI ranch at Kendalia, has sold
off all his cattle and keeping
only goats. He realized that his
pastures were getting short and
it would be better to lighten the
grazing load now in order to
save his grass and a feed bill
this winter. He also realizes that
pastures must have a chance to
recover when we do get rain a-
gain. This means light use and
complete rest.

H. M. Newsom, on his farm
at Welfare, had a twenty acre
field of hubam clover which he
cut for hay. The hay was of ex-
cellent quality and cattle eat it
well leaving no waste at all.
This clover then made new
growth after moving and 3200
pounds of seed were combined
off the same 20 acres. It pays
to plant hubam clover for a hay
crop and seed crop since it will
make both with as small an a-
mount of rain as has been re-
ceived this year.

A Boston spinster was shock-

working on some wires. She re-
ported the incident and immed-
iately the manager asked the
men what they had said.
“Me and Spjke were on this
job. I was up the pole anda cci-
dently let some hot lead fall on
Spike—and it went down his
neck. Then Spike looked up at
me and said: ‘Really, Harry,
you must be more careful.’ ”

Many District cooperators are
realizing that their grasses are
short and must have some re-
lief. They are also realizing that
it is getting late in the year to
expect our grass to come out and
produce enough feed to carry
their stock through the winter
regardless of how much rain we
might get now. They also real-
ize it is better to seel stock now
in order to save a feed bill this
winter and. to save their pas-
tures for future years. It is bet-
ter to sell now and maybe lose
some than to feed a lot of ex-
pensive feed, ruin a pasture, and
do lots of extra work and then
maybe still lose.

“The man who gives way
when he knows he is in the
wrong,” says a magistrate, “is
wise. The man who gives way
when he knows he is in the right
is merely married.”
LAST STRAW
“You have been charged with
fighting,” said the judge. “Have
you any explanation?”
“Well, Your Honor,” said the
defendant, “it was like this. I
was in a phone booth talkng to
my girl when this guy comes up
and wants to use the uhone. He
opens the door, grabs me by the
neck and tosses me out on my
ear.”
“The you got angry?” asked
the judge.
“Yes, a little,” answered the
man. “But I didn’t get real mad
until he grabbed my girl and
threw her out, too.”
