Seeds Dozed Land
Jack Kelly is now seeding
King Ranch bluestem and little
bluestem over 150 acres of re-
cently bulldozed rangeland. This
area will be rested all this year
to permit these seedlings to be-
come established and also give;
native grasses that are present,
a chance to become better estab-
lished and to produce seed.
* * * *
Returns Field To Grass
Rigdon Terrell will seed more
fields to grasses this spring. He
will use little bluestem, King
Ranch bluestem, Indiangrass
and sideoats grama. The field
was first plowed and a good
seedbed prepared. The seed will
be drilled into the soil followed
by complete rest
* * * *
The Monte Walkers who have
a small place five miles south of
Kendalia are starting an inter-
esting long term experimental
project this spring with grass-
es and grains. The first phase of
the project, to be started at once
is the laying out of their pas-
ture and .fields into plots, each
plot to be seeded to a different
or a combination of different
grasses or grains. Records of
varieties, date planted, temper-
ature and rainfall will be kept.
As time permits, the plots will
be fenced. The second phase will
be the harvesting of seed and
continuation of fencing addition
al plots. The third phase will
continue the fencing. The fourth
phase will be preparing the
equipment needed. The last
phase will be testing with live-
stock; each plot being so fenc-
ed that they will have access to
the water at the barnlot.

IN MEMORY OF MR.
HENRY KOCH
By Mrs. James V. Hinesley
The time too short to know this
man—■
A helpful friend to all he can—
Through the years that he was
known—
A deep friendship he had sown.
He always had a welcome smile
To help someone he’d walk a
mile.
There always was a minute to
spare
For a friendly joke with some-
one to share.
He’s greatly missed by those he
knew,
Such a friends are very few.
Although his memory forever
will be
To persons such as you and me.
Now he’s gone to his heavenly
home
Around this earth no more he’ll
roam.
He’s gone to find some peace
and rest
With God in heaven — He who
knows best.
Americans buy over a billion
incandescent light bulbs yearly.
Mrs. H. T. Wales and Scot of
Burnett, Mr. and Mrs. Marion
Toepperwein and sons Doug
and Dennis of San Antonio, Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Pue and chil-
dren of Atascosa, spent Sunday

perwein, celebrating their mo-
ther’s birthday.

A Brighter Future
Do you want your pasture to
get a good cover of grasses back
on it this spring? If so, it should
oe rested from now until sum-
mer. We are nowending one of
the worst winters in the his-
tory of the Kendall District.
Even though 1959 was a good
grass year, our past cold wea-
ther has severely damaged our
plants. Rest this spring will pay
good) dividends later this year
and in future years.

Your Soil
Is your soil alive? Does it pro
vide a home for the microscopic
organisms as bacteria, fungus
and mold and larger creature as
grubs and earthworms ? All
these creatures are beneficial to
the soil in producing a good,
healthy (and nutritious) plant.
The microscopic animals break
down the mineral elements in
the soil to a usable form so that
the plant roots are able to take
them in. The earthworms keep
the soil open and porous so that
it is aproperly aereated. They
also keep the soil mixed, carry-
ing subsoil to the surface —
natures way of limited subsoil-
ing. But inorder for these crea-
tures to properly and efficiently
function they must have certain
working and living conditions—
namely, air, moisture, coolness
and warmth — just as human
produces better under comfort-
able conditions. How often have
you seen earthworms in the top
portion of the soil in hot and
dry weather or when it is very
cold? They cannot survive un-
der extremely high, or low, tem-
puratere. Commercial manufac-
turers now have a system of
putting out heat or air condi-
tioning with one device; so does
Mother Nature, which is noth-
ing more than a vegetative cov-
er. Imagine how you would func
tion in cold weather without
proper clothing — and it would
be pretty uncomfortable in the
homes without warmth.
Conservation the land pays.
