Grist for The Mill Enthralls Texan Readers
Lucia Eldridge reviews this month’s THE MILL issue with a playful nod to Texas weather and a roundup of articles. Features include THE MILLER'S WIFE kitchen tips, FISHING by Carlo Morris, reminiscences of old timers with Mr. Wimberley, and Hazel Green Nature Notes on local growth, all conveying a January 1971 optimistic outlook and the idea that Wimberley is the mill’s core grist.

Hattie Burditt Remembers a Life of Texas Pioneer Years
Hattie Burditt, nearing 90, recalls a long Texas life from virgin Nueces County soil in 1926 to drought, bountiful years, and upholding farm work. Born near the Blanco River, she and husband Charlie settled near Robstown in 1915 and faced hard times before later helping bring electricity to area farms.
