is an ever-present ‘danger’ in
loading and unloading livestock
not only for the exhibitor but for
the visitor. She added her senti-
ments in favor of having more
adequate and better facilities.
Gene Rahe of the Harper FFA
noted that each year more and
more animals are coming to the
stock shows and to the Fair. He
said the new show arena and
show barn are good proposals
and hoped they would become a
reality. Rahe thanked everyone
for their interest shown in this
project.
County Commissioner Levy
Kusenberger thanked everyone
for their attendance and in-
terest. He called on Wm. Pet-
mecky, president of the Gil-
lespie County Fair Association,
who posed the question whether
the show barn would become a
part of the Fair Grounds.
Petmecky told of recent com-
pletion of preliminary plans for
the proposed new Fair Grounds
and said that the sale of stock
would start on June 1 with the
entire month of June to be
devoted to this task.
Commissioner Kusenberger
noted that the Commissioners
Court wants everyone to know
that the new show barn building
will belong to everyone, to the
youth organizations and those
who will utilize the facilities. He
said it was up to these youth
organizations and related and
concerned groups to make
specific plans, for it would be
theirs to use whenever
required.
From 100 to 150 people were in
attendance for the meeting.
The show barn would be a
substantial structure, sturdy
and lasting, insulated, cooled
and heated, and would be
erected on a 10-acre plot with
sufficient parking facilities, on
the northwest side of the
proposed fair grounds site, ad-
joining the Airport property.
The Commissioners Court, it is
understood, would purchase the
ten acres from the Fair
Association and build the show
barn with monies already on
hand and to be received from
the Federal revenue sharing
funds. Purchase of the 10 acres
would not materialize until and
after the Fair Association had

County Agent's Report
By Duery Menzies
Thinning a garden crop will
improve the stand and quality
and will boost production.
Over-seeding small seed
crops is a natural tendency of
home vegetable gardeners. So,
thinning at an early age and
when the soil is moist will help
insure proper stand and will
increase yields of high quality
vegetables.
Thin when the plants are no
more than two inches tall and
before the roots become en-
twined. Pinch or cut off cucum-
bers, squash, melons, okra and
similar plants rather than
pulling them up, as this disrupts
the roots of the remaining i
plants.
Thin beats, carrots and
eyed peas, garlic and mustard
perform best when spaced at
two to four inches.
Thin leaf lettuce, parsley,
lima beans, and swiss chard to
allow four to eight inches be-
tween plants.
Sweet corn, cabbage, chard,
endive, kale, head lettuce and
potatoes grow best when spaced
at 8 to 12 inches.
Broccoli, brussels sprouts,
cauliflower, cucumbers, egg
plant, peppers, squash, sweet
potatoes and watermelons
require the greatest spacing —
12 to 18 inches.
If vegetable stands are poor
or uneven, transplant the young
seedlings that you have thinned.
Don’t throw away the thin-
nings . . . young lettuce leaves
and carrots are superior salad
items.
With 271 animal rabies cases
in Texas reported during 1973,
residents across the state are
being urged to take specific
steps in dealing with animal
bites or scratches.
If a person is bitten by a heal-
thy domestic dog or cat, it
should be captured, confined
and observed by a veterinarian
for ten days. If signs suggestive
of rabies develop, the animal
should be sacrificed, the head
removed and shipped, under
refrigeration, to a qualified
laboratory designated by the
radishestoone to two inches be- local or state health department
tween plants. Bush beans, peas, for examination.

Sanguine Project Suspended By Navy
The Navy Sanguine Project
which would have encompassed
a vast area as proposed, of the
Texas Hill Country as an under-
ground system for sending
emergency messages to mis-
sile-firing submarines has been
suspended.
According to releases, Navy
Sanguine had opposition in Con-
gress and the public. Sources in
the Pentagon said they believed
rer, off Harper road five miles
west of Fredericksburg, 0.40.
A resident from between Ma-
son and Brady, attending the
funeral Monday morning
for Albert Kruse, said they had
had only about a tenth of an inch
of rain. W. R. Cornelius, former
telephone company manager
here, now stationed at Brown-
wood, said they had had only “a
few drops of rain” and it was
still very dry there since they
had not had a substantial rain
since last October.
the suspension of development
for the two and a half months
left in this fiscal year would
probably mark the end of the
project, although the final deci-
sion will be made in congres-
sional determinations in the
1975 budget.
The two-dimensional system
of antennas to transmit “ex-
tremely low frequency” radio
waves to submarines was origi-
nally planned for Wisconsin.
Sen. Gaylord Nelson (Wis.) was
among environmentalists to
oppose it.
The project or system, as pro-
posed would have been located
in Llano, Mason, Gillespie and
five other Llano Uplift Counties
— some 1,250 square miles of
hill country granite areas.
A Texas State Committee to
Stop Sanguine was formed in
August, 1973, with Hudson
Fowler, president, Alex Hardin,
secretary-treasurer; Pauline
Edwards, vice president, and

human, should be examined by
a physician for treatment in
order to prevent possible side-
effects caused by trauma and
the introduction of infection or
disease-causing microorga-
nisms.
Reliable interpretation of
early signs of rabies in wild or
stray animals cannot be made.
Any such animal that bites or
scratches an individual should
be killed at once and the brain
examined for evidence of
rabies.
The largest source of rabies in
Texas is the skunk, followed by
livestock, foxes, bats, cats,
other wildlife and dogs, respec-
tively.
