Study of Otto Schumann Ranch Shows Conservation Gains
A Gillespie County rancher reports that eight years of soil and water conservation raised pastures from high fair to high good. Rainfall infiltration under blue stem and threeawn covers stored more water, reduced runoff, and would lessen flood damage if applied across rangeland. Water depth in tanks remained low, and runoff carried little topsoil.

Strawberries Grow Best In Open Ground Over Barrels
Strawberries adapt to many soils and climates and ripen early. For home gardens apply 50 pounds of rotted manure per 100 feet of row before planting and about five pounds of a 4 12 4 or 4 10 7 fertilizer per 100 feet. Plant from October 15 to November 15 with 10 to 12 inch spacing, at the same depth they grew. Keep soil moist for large berries and irrigate 1 to 3 times weekly. Harvest carefully, two thirds red, avoid bruising, and use 24 quart crates. Average Texas yield about 1400 quarts per acre. Barrels and small spaces yield poorly. plant in open ground for best results.
