When the Cherokee
County Fruit and
Vegetable Canning Show
gets underway in Rusk on
June 30, two of the judges
will be Charles and Tressie
Bryant of Alto. We visited
with the Bryants recently
at their lovely mobile home
and was given a tour of the
beautifully tended gardens
surrounding their home out
on Highway 21 East.
In anticipation of
retirement from Shell Oil
Co. .on March of 1982,
Charles purchased his ten
acres of land and planted
fruit frees five years ago.
For a garden that is only
two years old, this one is
sumptious. A bumper crop
of Concorn grapes are
heavy on their vines. The
fruit trees will bear apples,
plums, pears and peaches
this year.
In the garden area,
Charles showed us his
tomatoes, although coming
in late, due to the cold
nights this past Spring,
they are hanging heavy on
their vines now. Also get-
ting a late start is the okra,
and coming along nicely
are peas, watermelons,
cataloupe, lima beans, pin-
to beans, cucumbers,
blackberries (very plen-
tiful this year), com and
field corn from which
Tressie plans to make corn
meal.
From a third of an acre
of field corn, there is ex-
pected to be a yield of 30
bushels, which Tressie
figures will make about
1200 pounds of corn meal.
She expects to take it to a
local grist mill at the
proper time.
The Bryants have a large
family, four children and
seven grandchildren, who
live in Pasadena, Spring
and Sugarland, Texas. A
great deal of what Charles
grows and Tressie cans,
goes to the children to fill
their cupboards each year.
When the Bryants moved
to Alto, farming was all
new to Tressie. Charles
was born in Van, Texas on
a farm so this was like
coming home to him. But
for Tressie it meant hours
spent reading every book
on growing, canning and
preserving a garden that
she could get her hands on.
She took advantage of
everything the County
Agent had to offer in the
way of information. She
highly recommends any
new gardener checking
with the County Agent fir-
st, before any canning is at-
tempted and getting the
free books.
In order to get his garden
off to a good start, Charles

consulted with the
agriculture department at
SFA to have a soil analysis
done on his land. It was
decided that the soil was
low in pot ash, which
required adding lime and
0062 fertilizer and later 1022
fertilizer. Charles suggests
that any new garden area
be tested for the proper ph
balance in order to give the
maximum yield.
This year insects pose a
serious problem to far-
mers. There was not
enough frost last winter to
kill off the larvae and
special attention must be
given to bug control this
year, according to Charles.
He has had good results
with seven dust.
Wheti it comes to taking a
day off for fishing, this is
just hardly possible for the
Bryants. When they want
to see their children they
must come to Alto and for
this the Bryants have
recently added on a lovely
room to their mobile home.
Charles said that just one
day of not checking for in-
sects or watering if dry,
can mean trouble for some
of the crops.
Tressie has recently
discovered the joys of using
her microwave oven to
assist in canning and
freezing her bounty. She
has had wonderful results
with creamed corn, green
beans, turnips, peas, ten-
der greens, mustard and
spinach greens. She
suggests that anyone wan-
ting to preserve garden
yield in this manner con-
sult a good microwave
cookbook.
The Bryants are looking
forward to the County Show
in Rusk next week and
when we asked Tressie
what she would be
bringing, she said, "I'll
carry whatever is ready."
From the looks of the
Bryant's garden, there will
be a bountiful supply of
many fine vegetables and
fruits, her only problem
may be, how much can she
possibly carry?

.YOUR WAY TO
LOWER HEATING AND COOLING COSTS
•••i
To help customers determine the
savings that are possible in operat-
ing costs of heating and air con-
ditioning, manufacturers have
developed "EER" (energy effi-
ciency ratio) ratings for their prod-
ucts. When buying heating and air
conditioning units, be sure to ask
your dealer for the exact number.
The higher it is, the less your oper-
ating costs will be. Ratings range
from around seven to over 11. Seseo
recommends installation of units
with a rating of at least 8.0 or
higher. For each higher rating
point increase, operating costs
will decrease about ten percent.
To help you decide which rating
is best for you, contact your local
Seseo office. VVe can tell you about
how long it will take the unit to pay
for itself in lower operating costs.
Even if you're not planning on
new heating and air conditioning
equipment just now, there is an-
other way to cut operating costs.
For every degree you set the ther-
mostat below normal, you'll cut
heating costs by about 3%. And
you can cut air conditioning costs
by about 5% for each degree the
thermostat is set above normal.
