Study of Otto Schumann Ranch Shows Effect of Good Conservation Practices
Mr. Otto Schumann of Gillespie County reports soil and water conservation increased pasture condition over six years. Rainfall infiltration rose with blue stem and buffalo grass covers, storing more water and reducing runoff. Better cover could have minimized flood damage and soil loss on rangeland.

Strawberries Grow Best In Open Ground Under Texas Conditions
Strawberries adapt to a wide range of soils and climates and ripen early. For home gardens apply rotted manure before planting and use a 4-12-4 or 4-10-7 fertilizer if available. Plant October 15 to November 15 with 10 to 12 inch spacing, set at the original depth, and keep soil moist. Harvest when two thirds red, pick carefully, and avoid barrels for higher yields. Average Texas yield is about 1400 quarts per acre.

Texas 1952 Drouth Exceeds Previous One in Severity
The Soil Conservation Service reports a four state drought study finding Texas drought more severe by area, duration, and impact than prior events. In eight locations durations range from 22 to 32 months with crop failures and depleted range cover. Recommendations urge careful range use, extended rest periods, and preparedness for recovery after rains. The current drought averages about 27 months at key sites, compared to 24 months in 1916-18 and 1933-36.
