Griffin Farm advances Great Plains conservation since 1970 by installing watering facilities and fences. They built a 25 foot storage tank, two large troughs with floats, and float guards for cattle, enabling pasture rotation with minimal effort. They sowed Sideoats Grama, King Ranch Bluestem, and Weeping Lovegrass and plan to convert cropland and native range to coastal.
The Soil Conservation Service and Upper Leon Soil and Water Conservation District sponsored a mini habitat for quail at the De Leon Peach and Melon Festival and Comanche County Fair. They used live plants and brush to mimic natural surroundings and illustrate habitat needs.
Clyde W. Graham of the U S Soil Conservation Service told a Mc Allen meeting that local conservation districts can provide data and coordination to help cities plan long term use. He noted soil surveys show flood prone lands and urged districts to curb development in flood plains while reducing sediment and protecting wildlife and livestock operation impacts.
The Herman Hofers in Comanche County pursue a Great Plains Conservation Program on their farm. They cleared a pasture, leveled a sand mound, sprigged Coastal Bermuda and seeded Ermelo Lovegrass on about 32 acres. Future plans include erosion control work, a waterway, farm pond, diversion terraces, and more grass plantings. Twenty two head of calves were raised with special rations last year.
Memorial gifts for the American Cancer Society Comanche unit are encouraged as living tributes to loved ones lost to cancer. Mrs. Joe Tupin and Mrs. Azalea Elliso chairwomen note gifts fund research education and patient support and memorial cards acknowledge donations without revealing amounts.
