President and Mrs. Johnson had
the most unusual decorations on
the official White House tree. A
New York artist designed orna-
ments for an old-fashioned all-
American Christmas tree. Over
4, 000 sparkling lights were used
and a thousand hand-made orna-
ments, each a replica of orna-
ments used in our nation's early
history. These were things a
pioneer would have used, snrfc
as childrens' toys, artificial
flowers, dried fruits, flowers
and ferns. Food was used too --
cranberry and popcorn strings,
gingerbread cookies and candy
canes. Lovely asymetrical stars
fashioned from straw were most
unusual.
Well, 1967 has arrived and
with it a most delightful Texas
tradition --a black-eyed pea
party where the party fare con-
sisted of just that, along with
turnip greens, Texas beef, and
hush puppies. This is an annual
event given by the Robert Bas-
kins of the Dallas Morning News
and well attended by many Tex-
ans in Washington. Of course
eating black-eyed peas on New
Year's Day is supposed to bring
you good luck all year long.
Mrs. Johnson's press secretary
Liz Carpenter led the group in
singing old songs. Scooter Mill-
er, wife of the chairman of
President Johnson's inaugural
committee, wore four pink Chri-
Christmas tree ornaments in her
hair. The affair closed with ev-
eryone standing and singing that
grand ole favorite "The Eyes of
Texas. " This helps us to shrink
the 1, 900 miles from Washing-
ton to west Texas.
May I take this opportunity to
wish everyone a Happy New
Year and to express my appre-
ciation to your editor for all
the courtesies extended to me
this pastyear.

Where does the time seem to
go.....must be age.... here
it is already bareroot planting
time again! Beneficial bareroot
plants pay double dividends.
Just about all kinds of fruit trees
do well in Dell Valley. So by
planting fruit trees, one can
have both fruit, which is unsur-
passed when it is picked right
off the tree, and beautiful shade
later on, Not to mention the
early gorgeous blossoms of apple,
pear, peach and apricot trees.
All nurseries and many stores
will have a wide selection of
bareroot trees both fruit and
shade, for sale this month and
next. Invest wisely by buying
several, and I promise you that
you will never regret it.
Shade trees of all kinds can
be planted and transplanted this
month and next with the very
best of results. Pecan trees,
though slower growing than
fruit trees as far as production
goes, also do well where they
receive lots of water and are
placed where they have ample
room to expand. They do grow
large and beautiful. If you've
ever seen these huge, old trees
in the southern part of the state
one would surely be encouraged
to plant some.
Don't procrastinate - plan now
and plant for beauty, shade
and fruit.
Now is the time to collect
soil samples and have irrigation,
water tested, so th at you can
have a good insight as to how
to plan your 1967 crop inorder
to realize the most profit.
It is very necessary to plan
your farming practices for the
coming growing season,It might
be necessary to make some ch-
anges in your operation due to
the labor shortage, financial
problems, higher salt content of
water or soil, and possible in-
crease of insects.
I have left soil sample car-
tons and the 1967 Farmers Tax
Guide at the Farm Bureau off-
ice, the Dell Valley Co-Op and
the Reclamation Office in Ft.
Hancock.
The small grains (wheat,oats,
barley) will need special att-
ention by the first of February,
due to the increase in moisture
that they need and use. Top
dressing with at least 50 # Ni-
trogen and 30# potash will in-
crease the forage for grazing,
and give good grain yields. If
the small grain is going to be
harvested for grain, cattle will
need to be removed from the
field when the small grain st-
arts jointing.
Cattle that arebeiitg grazed
on dry cured forage need about
1 pound of digestible protein per
day according to size. If
you have plenty of grain sorgh-
um you can use it to supply the
protein by feeding 3 to 12 pounds
per head per day and the cattle
will also make excellent gains
plus the fact that they more re-
adily eat the forage available.
You should keep salt and steam-
ed bone meal for the cattle at
all times so, that they can sat-
isfy their mineral requirements.

THE LIGHTER SIDE-Kathy While
The Pageant of Peace display on the south side of the White House
was a truly national Christmas theme. A twenty foot tree from Wis-
consin, winner of the Christmas tree growers contest, decorated
with all warm colors stood proud and tall among 54 small ones which
were decorated alternately in green and blue. Each little tree was
dedicated, to one of OUt 50 states and 4 territories. Even the whitest
Christmas in Washingtonians' memory didn't stop the crowds from
beating down a path in the 14-inch snow to view this lovely scene.
Unfortunately it took vandals only 24 hours to steal the Baby Jesus
figurine from the manger scene and the sign dedicating the tree to
Texas. The Park Service promptly replaced them.
I think it interesting that a na-
tional Christmas tree has been
dedicated each year since 1923.
During the 1943 war year Ameri-
cans sent in ornaments for the
tree, each dedicated to a mem-
ber of the Armed Services.
During the holidays different
entertainment was planned each
night for the Pageant. The Afri-
can Cultural Dancers and Dru-
mmers of Washington presented
authentic African dances on
night; the Hellenes, twelve teen-
age girls from a Gree Orthodox
Church, presented traditional
and modern Greek folk dances
another night. Also included
were a Bavarian group and a
Swedish gymnastic team. Be-
sides this there were eight rein-
deer from the National Zoo in
Washington as a special treat
TAXES from Pg. 1
A self-employed person is one
who operates his own business,
and therefore a farmer or ranch-
er who operates a farm or ran-
ch, either on his own land or rent-
ed from someone else, is consi-
dered self employment. This is 1
true even though he my employ
someone else to do work and do-
es not live on the farm or ranch
himself.
Farmers and ranchers must file
income tax returns and pay any
i I self—employment tax due, even
though they owe no income tax,
but no self-employment tax is <_
due unless net earnings from se-
lf-employment amount to $400
or more for the year. However,
farmers who have actual net ea-
rnings from the operation of
their farms of less that $400 may,
under certain circumstances, elect for the children,
to pay self-employment tax and
may qualify to receive benefits
under the Social Security system.
Farmers with tax questions sh-
ould have a copy of the free off-
icial publication, "Farmer's Tax.
Guide, " which is available from
agricultural agents, or from any
IRS office.
As this month and next are
ideal for bareroot planting, so is
it a good time to prune estab- .
lished fruit trees and other deci-
duous trees.
Peach trees are but one of
several kinds of fruit trees that
do well in Dell Valley. Pruning
is a form of thinning on fruit
trees. It improves the size and
quality of fruit by removing
weak and crowded wood. It
stimulates vigorous shoot, growth
on mature trees - which is ess-
ential on the peach tree which
bears its fruit on one-year old
wood.
On old established peach trees,
more severe pruning is necessary
to maintain good growth and re*
new vigorous fruiting wood th-
roughout the tree. Terminal
shoot growth in vigorous trees
should be from 12-15 inches each
year. Over 20 inches is too vi-
gorous and poor-colored fruit
and winter injury may result.
Peach trees should be planted
when completely dormant on a
slope that is well-drained. Ni-
trogen is usually the chief nu-
trient needed in the peach or-
chard - 1-3 year old trees, 1/2
pound per tree; 3-5 year old
tree, 1 1/2-2 lbs per tree; over
5 years old, 2-4 lbs per tree.
