PACK TWO-THR CMMOKBBAN OP RUSK. TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUT V 23. 1970
This dry weather we've been
having presents an opport-
unity for producers to obser.
ve which grasses are doing
the best job under stress con.
ditlons. Coastal bermuda.
grass showed up well under
dry conditions last summer
and 1« doing so again this
year.
I guess custom hay operators
are in about as good a posi-
tion as any to evaluate per-
formance of these grasses.
1 was talking with Leonard
Haws of Turney last week.
He says there are still those
who think common bermuda -
grass will produce as much as
coastal bermuda will; but that
they should have seen the
spots of common in his coa-
stal meadow the last time he
cut It. He said the common
wasn't tall enough to cover the
sickle blade. He said Bahia-
grass is about the same as
common except for the seed
head. I've had other custom
operators tell me about the
same thing.
Research at the Overton Re-
search and Extension Center
last year showed coastal ber-
muda to produce 550 pounds
of beef per ;icre; Lovegrass,
356 pounds; common ber-
muda, 361 pounds; Bahla-
grass, 330 pounds; and Kle-
ingrass, 313 pounds of beef
per acre.
Dr. Carl Gray, Extension
Soil Chemist, and Howard
Mitchell of the Texas Agri-
cultural Limestone Associ-
ation. in their July newsletter
to the Texas Plant Food Ed-
ucational Society, estimated
that the trainload of agricult-
ural limestone shipped into
Cherokee County last week
will be worth a considerable
amount to producers over the
next three years. They say
that, based on conservative
estimates, the 3,000 tons of
limestone applied to acid
Cherokee County soils will
result in enough additional
forage to produce over
200,000 pounds of beef gains
over a three year period.
Now, if I can do a little
calculating and say that 200,
000 pounds of beef will aver-
age 30 cents per pound, it
would mean an additional
$60,000 to beef producers in-

volved. If we figure the lime
cost $8 per ton or $24,000,
this would give a return of
about $2.50 for each $1 in-
vested.
President Nixon proclaimed
thi«= week, the week of July
19-25 as National Farm Saf-
ety Week. Concurrently.Gov-
ernor Preston Smith Issued
a proclamation calling on all
Texans to reverse the Farm
accident tread.
While this emphasis Is on
farm safety, it is a good time
to check the farm and the home
for hazards. Here are just a
few Items toexamine - guards
and shields on power equip-
ment, location of fire extin-
guishers, proper pesticide
storage, life-saving equip-
ment at farm ponds and other
swimming areas, electrical
wiring, and «-low moving ve
hiele signs on tractors and
other mobil machinery. You
can think of many more, I'm
sure.
Quite a lot of producéis sold
In Cherokee County froti*
roadside stands. These sta-
nds vary In their attractive-
ness and appeal to the cust-
omer. Here are a few sug-
gestions from Gordon Pow-
ell, Extension Fruit and Veg-
etable Marketing Specialist,
that may help operators of
roadside stands improve their
marketing facility. Mr. Pow-
ell say "Play up Cleanliness.
Have a screened-off area for
storing items not in use."
He points out that most cus-
tomers like bulk displays in
preference to prepackaging.
Display items at a level that
allows for easy examination.
Place price tickets right In
the container. Make aisles
wide enough for the custo-
mer to shop without bumping
into things. Most of all,
have on display clean, fresh,
high-quality merchandise.
Memorial Service
The annual Memorial ser-
vice at Shady Grove will be
held Sunday, July 26, begin-
ning at 11 a.m
Rev. Hank Chandler will de-
liver the sermon. Every
interested person is invited
to attend and bring a basket
lunch.
"Misprints"
"Driving is just like baseball-.it's the number of times
you get home safely that treally counts I So reports the Pi-
catonica, Illinois NEWS.
And that quote was used to emphasize the importance
of "safe driving" seven-days.a-week...but especially dur*
lng summer vacaMonl
It is predicted by the Texas Safety Association that In
the year 1980, more than 5,300 Texans will lose their lives
in traffic accidents. That same year, 330,000 are expect-
ed to be wounded in auto crashes. These figures are pro.
Jections of statistical information on hand for 1970.
By 1980, say the TSA bulletin, Texas' highways will be a
"blooddatn of unbelievable proportions."
Much Is being done to prevent thls.-reinovai ox me prob-
lem drinker from the highway; and education of the pub.
11c, particularly the youth through Driver Education cour-
ses.
Adult driver re-education has been proposed, and this
coupled with stronger law enforcement, will contribute sup-
portive effort.
Texas' Governor Preston Smith recently launched a
"Drive Friendly" campaign which seems to focus on the
real answer to the problem.-you and me...the Individual.
We alone can drive in the proper "way" to prevent ac-

We were In "High Cotton"
last Thursday with two dis-
tinguished visitors from Alto,
Texas, Lions Henry Rose and
Perry Smith. Lion Rose does
us the honor of visiting us
quite often, but it had been a
long time since we had seen
Lion Perry Smith. Good to
have both of them with us and
hope that they come back very
soon.
Lion Secretary Leon Pledger
presented Past President
L. J. Lelnback with a gift for
having served as our Pres-
ident last year. It was not
here at the installation, so was
presented last Thursday. The
gift was a beautiful desk set
and radio combination. Avery
nice gift for a job well done.

to GOD for...
HEALTH and FOOD
In our nation today, the majority of us have so much
to be thankful for. Sure we lose a tooth or two in
irrmvinx Up. as the one pictured here, hut these will soon
be replaced. Health and Happiness are generally ours,
and through our ahundance we should share with
others who are less fortunate. God's word and the
church encourage sharing with others. There
are many areas of service to others within the
churches, and these we should not neglect, hut
God has said that we should take advantage, as
we are able, of all opportunities to give aid.
