AAA Signers Can Get
Lime Early This Year.
Announcement of Agent
County Agent A. Q. Ketner an
nounced tills week that all farmers
who had signed for their 1941 lime
allotment, or those who had not
signed and wanted to. could receive
this lime early this year by notifying
him as soon as possible.
During tile past the securing of
lime has been a rather slow process
the agent said, but it can be gotten
much earlier this year. Dur to the
slowness most of the farmers signed
up for the lime to be shipped in the
spring. If shipped then, however,
rarilroad schedules will probably slow
up delivery: therefore, those who
want their lime before corn is plant
ed should notify the agent at once.
Ketner also asked that all who had
not signed their 1940 applications
in the AAA program should do so at
once in order to receive their pary
ment checks. Between 200 and 220
have not signed these applications.

Shields Has Excellent
Pasture Demonstration
A good demonstration on tempor
ary winter pastures is being conduct
ed by John S. Shields, unit demon-,
stration farmer of the Culberson
community, according to reports of
County agent. A. Q. Ketner.
During the latter part of October.
Mr. Shields seeded 20 acres of old
permanent pasture with a mixture
of rye grass, wheat and rye. About
five bushels of this mixture was seed
ed per acre, using a heavy small
grain drill to do the seeding. This
drill was heavy enough to scaraify
soil enough for the seed to catch,
and at this time it la showing up an
excellent stand. From observation on
old pasture will afford as much
grassing as one acre where a seed
was prepared and seeded.
