J. S. Holme whs knocked
down and run over by u Ford
coupe at Rosenburjr, as he wa. |
on his way homo from Beau- |
mcnt last week. H« had stop

walked hark just a few feet to
ask about the roads, when struck
by the car. He was painfully,
fcut not seriously hurt.
Ludolph Heilighrodt. young
former Bastrop man, dodged a
bullet Saturday ni*rht to recover
his stolen overcoat and came out
of the encounter with the coat
back in his possession. An un :
identified Mexican fired a shot
at Heiliifbrodt as the youth
chased him, after taking away
from the man an overcoat he j
identified as one that had been j
stolen from his car three weeks ;
ago. The bullet went wild, fail-
ing to injure anyone.

4-H Home Demonstration A-
gents' visits in 4 H girls homes
found them busy in carrying out
their demonstrations.
Rebecca Eschborger of the Mc-
Dadc Senior 4 H girls club is
working on two major demon- j
strations. Since they have a
hom? freezer, Rebecca is con- :
tinuing with the frozen foods
■work in her home. Too. since
they hope to have a good well,
they want to plan on the best ,
use of electrictiy on their farm
and in their home. Rebecca ;
plans to make complete plans i
in both of these.
Rebecca has a new frozen
foods record book which will
guide her in studying and put-
ting into practice the best and
approved methods of such things
as:
1. Varieties of vegetables to
plant in their garden which
freeze best.
2. Methods of preparation for
freezing.
3. Types of freezer wraps.
4. Freezing new varieties of
foods.
5. Cooking of frozen foods
fi. Ix*rigth of time for storing
frozen foods.
7. Freezing ready cooked
foods.
There are three senior and
eitrht junior 4-H girls at Rockne
who are planning to work with
frozen foods.
Rosa Lee Wolf is continuing
her well balanced 4-H program.
She bar ">0 pullets which are
now gointt into production. She
boujfht 100 baby chickens last
March with some of the money-
she received as an award from
the National Junior Vegetable
Growers' Association. This was
an award for her excellent work
in growing and marketing vege-
tables.
Rosa Ix'f now has a bank ac-
count, 50 pullets tcoing into pro-
duction, and complete records of
all of her work. It is these re-
cords which are proof, which
helps to win awards.
Flora Mae Hoffman of the
senior 4 H Club at Rockne is
again making all 4-H jrirls, lead-
ers, and parent proud of her.
4-H Club work helps to (level
op such things as poise, person-
ality, and just ^ood common
sense such as she display.-. She
is again, during the Christmas
holidays, working in the Ohil
dren's Shop in Bastrop.
Rita Ka;tner is working hard
on a complete clothing program.
In this, she is keeping a com
plete record of purchases, costs,
wearing quality, storing proper-
ly and care of various fabrics.
Along with thi.-, too, is a record
of all sew ing, remodeling, mend
ing and handling of new types
of fabrics. Whether Kita wins
an award on her demonstration,
she will win anyway. The know-
ledge of what her clothing needs
will be when she leaves high
school will be of great benefit
to her.

A big surprise was given the
many friends of Miss Elizabeth
Eskew last Saturday, when the
news came of her marriage to
Mr. Hugo Walter of Fredericks
burg. The quiet ceremony which
united this young couple in the
holy bonds of wedlock was per-
formed in I.ake Charles, Louis-

Every year Bastrop High
School has representatives in
the Junior spelling contest at
the county meet. This year, as
usual, several contestants are
studying in preparation for the
event. These students are under
the supervision of Mrs. Maude
Herndon, sixth grade teacher.
Among these are two who won
first place in Junior spelling j
last year, Katherine Crawford
and Esther Peterson. The oth
ers are Mary Jo Matthis, An-
na Pearl Alexander and Ber
nice Griesenbeck.

Land Pattern
Stages Shown
The pattern of American ag-1
riculture down through the gen
orations since this land was set-
tled falls into four distinct
stages. An interested observer
is almo.-t sure to see the four
stages somewhere in the United
States at the present time. The
four periods and their distin-
guishing symptoms are:
1. Exploitation: During this
time the forests are ruthlessly
cleared to make way for farm-
ing and the residue. leaves,
slash, and organic matter burn
ed. Dry grasslands are burned
to make ready for the plow. One
cash crop after another is tak
en from the land with little
thought for the fertilizers or
the lime that is being removed.
Marginal land is put into pro
duction for cash crops. During
this period the soil reserves
seem inexhaustible.
2. Depletion: Suddenly upon
one of the succeeding genera
tions (the time depending upon
the inherent fertility of the soil)
comes the awareness that the
land is not producing as well as
it did in the good old days. Th«-
fields must, be rested more of
ten and the pastures can't car
ry a- riany head of livestock.
Although a fairly decent living
can be made from farming un-
der these circumstances, the
transition to the next step is
simple and rapid.
3. Exhaustion: At this stage
farming i- marginal at best. It
is evidenced by played out and
eroded fields, poor type vegeta-
tion, arid scrawny snimals and
people showing '-ffects of
malnutrition oni-se'f
from this condi'.io.. ' a better
one is almost a boot -trap pro-
position.
4. Kuild Up- Although the
rofii downhill is fast and easy,
building up exhausted farmland
is an expen-;;v. and difficult
job. It takes intelligent plan-
ning and practices designed to
build up the Hoil reserve.- while
achieving current production.
These practices include jrreen
manures, cover crops, use of
adequate fertilizers f.nd lime,
and us< of grasses and legumes
to men ion a few. That it can
be done is being dramatically
demonstrated every day. That
the exploitative stag< can be e
liminated from American agri
culture is also being demonstra
led with conservation practices
being employed immediately
when new land is opened.
How much does this build up
actually require? As an exam
pie, it is estimated that over
500 million tons of limestone are
needed to lime our American
soils to the point where they
should be. It is further estimat
ed that an annual maintenance
totaling about HO million tons
should be applied.
The task seems formidable but
American farmers are effectively
slowing down and even halting
the exploitation, depletion, ex-
haustion cycle and are putting
all their energies into the build

CASH INCOME TO FARMERS
ABOUT EQUAL
Texas Farmers received ap
proximately as much cash in-
come Ironi products in the first
nire months of 1054 as they did
in the same period last year,
the University of Texas Bureau
of Business Research reports.
The difference in the 1963
and 1964 totals was less than a
half of 1 per cent.
Cotton income was up 32 per
cent, folio* ed closely by cotton-
seed (27 per cent), sheep and
lambs (14 per cent) and corn
(12 per cent). However, grain
sorghums income dropped 25 per
cent, and other declines were
registered by dairy products and
eggs (each 20 per cent) and
fruit and vegetables (18 per
cent).
The outlook for principal
cash crops is brighter, the bu-
reau reports. Pessimistic views
are confined to crops of local
importance in scattered areas.
September rail car shipments
of Texas livestock were up 17
17 per cent over August and
117 per cent over September,
11)53, indicating heavy market
ing because of the prolonged
drought. However, range and
pasture prospects picked up
sharply in October and Cattle
marketing was curtailed sharp
ly during the first part of that
month, causing advances in
prices at several markets, the
Hureau says.
