Says Herschler Worth $127,036
By PAUL HERSCHLER
Red River County Agent
It is just a little difficult to
gat back in the routine of things
after being away three weeks. I
*** ^thoroughly enjoyed the three
weeks I spent at Colorado State
University. I had the opportun-
ity to attend school with 300
other Agents from 46 states and
13 other countries throughout the
world. Probably the association
with these fine people was worth
more to me than the actual
schooling itself. I wouldn’t want
the professors that conducted the
courses I took to know that this
is how I feel; however, I really
did enjoy the visit I had. I will
have to admit we had wonder

June, according to County Judge
Gavin Watson, Jr.
The program began in Novem-
ber. 1957. under the supervision
of Mrs Dixie Herrington, who
served until her resignation last
month. Recipients, primarily
those already receiving assist-
ance through the Welfare Depart-
ment. have increased from about
1450 to 2979 in June of 1959. The

out charge by the Federal Gov-

back to studying after having | Listed as received and distrib-
been out of school for a “few”; uted in the county during the
years.
Speaking for the Chamber of
Commerce of Colorado, if you
haven’t been to Colorado and the
Rockies, you should plan such a
trip. It is about 900 miles from
here. To give you some idea of
the weather we had in the val-
ley where we attended school it
was around 85 degrees in thi
daytime and in the mountains
not 50 miles away, they hed the
snow plows out to keep the roads
clear of snow drifts.
I’ve spent most of my time
since I’ve been hne': trying to
take a quick look at the county
to see how the crons and stock
look The cotton producers here
feel they have a good chance for
a good crop. Th • cotton plant
itself looks good and we have .a
good stand. Insects arc as usual
the big problem. Some cotton 1
cheeked had very little infesta-
tion of insects while some was
being destroyed h\ insects. The
weevil is the hardest to control
right now. Corn and sorghum
crops look very good Hay and
pastures need rain over most of
the county. Many cattlemen feel
their meadows an* producing
about half what they hoped for
on the first cutting. A topdress-
ing of about 30 Ihs of nitrogen
per acre will do a great deal to
boost the second crop in both
total yield and quality of hay. i
I have had a chance to visit
with some of the 4-11 hoys and
girls who are feeding livestock

From all indications it looks ns
though every department in the
fair will be larger than any of
the past three years. The Agri-
cultural Improvem'*nt Associa-

community building which will
be used during the fair to house
the livestock, educational booths
and commercial exhibits. After
the fair the building will be
available to persons of the coun-
ty for their use upon the approv-
