Alvin Heiligmann of Berg-
lieim completed another cross-
fence this year. Now he has his
184 acre ranch divided into four
pastures. This will allow him to-
rotate his stock and defer pas-
tures. Even with this dry weath
er, he has managed to keep at
least one pasture resting at all
times. He plans to defer one
pasture from now till/ after
frost. He has been deferring
for several years. Heiligmann
sjfys, “It pays too because last
winter I had to do very little
feeding.” He feeds salt and bone
meal to his animals free choice
all the time and during this dry
period he finds they are eating
bone meal very heavy since dry
grasses are low in phosphorous.

This past year pure stands
of clover made a fair growth
during the driest period in his-
tory, while clover planted in com
bination with other crops did
not do so good. If it continues
dry, it would be much better to
seed it now as soon as you get
moisture. Early clover will pro-
duce more grazing earlier.

T. I. Harkins has recently
completed a tank on his Pipe
Creek Ranch. This is a hillside
tank in an area that has been
without stock water and will be
used as a means to obtain a
better disirbution of grazing.
This pasture has been rested
periodically for the past several
years and grass cover has con-
tinued to improve in spite of the
drought. Little bluestem, Indian
grass, tall dropseed, and side-
oats grama are abundant on the
hillsides and valley sites are im-
proving with a better cover.
* * * *
On Friday, August 27, T. I.
Harkins through the work of
his foreman Victor* Knoll and
representatives of a bentonite
corporation held a demonstra-
tion on use of bentonite for seal
ing dams. The dam in question
is a draw dam that seeped along
the ground line on one side. Ben-
tonite was applied approximate-
ly one inch layer over the area
subject to seepage and then cov
ered with approximately one
inch of loose soil.
On gently sloping bands and
bottoms that are subject to seep
age, bentonite can be applied by
loosening the soil with plow or
harrow before treatment and
then working the material even
ly into the loose soil.

There are a few people that
are trying to plant hubam, Ma-
drid, alfalfa, and other legumes
without applying super-phos-
phate fertilizer. They usually
get a poor stand or lose it by
cold weather or it grows very
poorly and other crops or weeds
crowd it out. They are immed-
iately off legumes. They may
say clover won’t come up for me
or the seed were no good. Clover
and alfalfa are well adapted and
are needed in the Kendall Soil
Conservation District. For best
results be sure to do the follow-
ing: Apply super-phosphate fer-
tilizer, innoculate the seed just
before planting, plant on a firm
seedbed; and plant about one-
half inch deep. A loose seedbed
will cause you to place the seed
too deep or allow the soil to dry
out too quickly. Seed placed too
deep may not be able to come up
to the top of the ground while
seed left on the surface or light-
ly covered may sprout and die
for lack of water to get its root
down to moistui;e below.

Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fagefquist
and young son of Dallas spent
the Labor Day weekend at the
Speight home.
Cotton farmers are urged to
consider their harvest incom-
plete until all stalks have been
either cut or shredded and plow-
ed under. Early destruction of
stalks is an effective and cheap
control of devastating cotton
insects.
The only time liquor makes a
man go straight is when the
road curves.
