SCS WORKSHOP A two - day Range Biology Workshop was recently held in Lavaca
County on the Cutbirth Ranch. The Workshop was provided by Soil Conservation Service for new
Soil Conservation Service employees and college student trainees participating in the summer
work program. Approximately 25 persons from 10 various counties and field offices attended.
The training was designed to provide Soil Conservation Service employees with applied technical
knowledge of range and biology as it relates to range and w ildlife management problems at their
particular locations. The top photo shows (L to R) Andre R . Fryer and other Soil Conservation
employees receiving training in range management from Range Specialist, Dalton Merz. The

the livestock to graze the
bermudagrass in the spring and
summer while the native grasses
are resting. Native pastures
would be used for fall and winter
grazing. Willis states that the
native grass would serve as a
hay crop without having the
expense of baling it. Grazing
systems can be designed to fit
any situation Native grassland,
introduced pastureland, and
cropland can be integrated into a
grazing system which will result
in quality forage being available
at all times of the year but still
allowing for grassland improve-
ment. Grazing systems appear to
be the cheapest way to maximize
profits while accelerating grass-
land improvement.

AGRICULTURE HAS COME A
LONG WAY IN TEXAS
Agricultural production has
come a long wav since 1906.
when the first county agent in
the world was hired in Smith
County, and headquartered at
Tyler. Texas. according to Orval
Wright, DeWitt County Exten-
sion Agent.
He was W C. Stallings, who
was employed by far sighted
leaders enthused over the
| success of William Porter's farm
demonstrations in cotton insect
work and other new farm
practices, begun only three
I years earlier.
Congress passed the Smith
। Lever Act in 1914. establishing
official Extension Services in
each state of the nation. The
agency was to disseminate
research findings from Land
Grant Colleges and State
Experiment Stations to the
people. Since that date, Texas A
& M University and the
Extension Service have been
closely allied, for Extension
continues to be a vital part of the
Texas A & M University System.
A big challenge for Extension

to help with an all - out
agricultural production effort to
teed and clothe needy people
throughout the world. During
the Great Depression, agents
worked with farm and rural
people to help them produce and
conserve most of their family
food needs. Extension, through
its county network of agents, was
deeply involved in assisting with
many national emergency pro-
grams.
Today, interest in home
gardening and food preservation
has reached a new high for urban
and rural residents. Home
butchering and processing of
meat on farms has surfaced
again as it did during the
Depression period as a result of
high retail meat costs and
depressed prices at the farm
level.
Many new agricultural fron-
tiers have emerged in recent
years. Extension county marine
agents now serve a number of
the Texas Coastal counties and
assist commercial Fishermen and
shrimpers. Integrated pest
management programs are
moving ahead, along with
livestock programs designed to
improve the percent of calf
crops, and improved crop,
varieties. Agriculture today
represents a whole new
ballgame'

tension Service joins Texas A &
