Mullin’s Prairie
Will Loessin has seeded a
winter cover crop of Austrian
winter peas, on 60 acres of his
field and these peas are com-
ing up to a good stand. Mr.
Loessin applied 200 pounds of
phosphate per acre to the
clover land.
Richard Naiser has put out
1,000 pounds of phosphate on
his pasture and overseeded it
with rescue grass, bur clover
and Dallis grass. He is clear-
ing out some of the trees and
underbrush. Weeds are con-
trolled by mowing in Mr. Nai-
ser’s pasture, and rotation
grazing is practiced between
this pasture and temporary
pasture fields.
Ben Moore has seeded 65
acres of annual yellow sweet
clover on land to be developed
into permanent pasture. Phos-
phate was applied to 34 acres
of this clover land at the rate
of 200 pounds per acre. Due
to the shortage of phosphate,
Mr. Moore was unable to apply
phosphate to all of the land he
planted in clover.
Edward Petras is seeding a
winter cover crop of Austrian
winter peas. After these peas
have made a good growth they
will be turned under for soil
improvement.
Svetlo Group
J. J. Bucek has seeded eight
acres of annual yellow sweet
clover on his farm. Legumes
should be planted early in the
fall—September or October.
This will give them a chance
to make a good growth before
winter. Phosphate should be
applied to the land whenever
possible. It is also very impor-
tant that the seed be inoculated
before planting.
Bluff No. 2 Group
Gus Munke is constructing
one-half mile of terraces on his
farm with his farm tractor.
These terraces will be main-
tained each year since farm-
ing operations tend to tear

cover crop of Austrian winter
peas preceded by an applica-
tion of '200
phate per acrte.

pany—a snorting chance, was
made today by Emil Harigel,
manager for Southwestern Bell,
following several recent in-
stances of gun shot damage to
tedephone wires and long dis-
tance cir&uits.
“When hunters take a pot
shot at a bird on a telephone
wire or pole they often wind
un by scoring a bullseye on an
insulator or wire,” Mr. Hari-
gel said. “I don’t know how
often they bag the bird.
“A careless shot will often
put a number of telephone
lines out of service,” Mr. Hari-
gel explained. “With the cur-
rent critical material short-
ages, this type of damage to
telephone equipment is more
serious than ever.”
With the approach of the
dove season and with more am-
muntion expected to be avail-
able than in recent years, all
hunters are asked to help
eliminate this type of damage
to hard-to-get telephone equip-
ment.
