More beef for your buck...
Top-quality steaks have
traditionally come from the
steer’s midsection, but in a
sluggish economy, the beef
industry is looking for more
affordable delicacies.
Tony Mata, a Dallas meat scientist, and a team of researchers developed the newest steak
by mining the muscle under
the shoulder blade for a tender
pad of flesh, according to the
Los Angeles Times. Unveiled
last year during a trade show,
the meat is now finding its way
to plates across the U.S.
“Any time you can make
something steak-able, you’re
bringing more dollars back to
the carcass,” said Jake Nelson,
a meat processing specialist
at Oklahoma State University
who worked with Mata on the
Vegas Strip Steak.

Farm bill update slated for
Dec. 5, Abilene...
A farm bill update is set
for Dec. 5 in Abilene, held in
conjunction with the regular
monthly meeting of the Taylor
County Marketing Club.
Speakers for the event
include Dr. Mark Welch,
AgriLife Extension state grain
marketing specialist in College
Station; William Thompson,
AgriLife Extension economist in San Angelo; and Dr.
Joe Outlaw, co-director for
the Agriculture and Food
Policy Center and an AgriLife
Extension economist in
College Station.
“A solid understanding of
crop insurance is absolutely
necessary to successfully
navigate the new direction
Congress has taken in providing a safety net to agriculture,”
said Robert Pritz, AgriLife
Extension agent in Taylor
County. “This program will
be ideal for those still needing
some guidance in this somewhat complicated area.”
The program will conclude
with a demonstration of an
online decision aid available to
farmers and ranchers, which is
designed to help them through
the complexities of signing up
for the new program. Farmers
and ranchers can integrate
commercial crop insurance
with provisions of the new
farm bill through this new program.
For more information, contact Pritz at (325) 672-6048.
New resource guide available to assist veterans in agriculture...
The American Farm Bureau
Federation (AFBF) and the
Farmer Veteran Coalition
(FVC) developed a new
resource guide to assist returning veterans pursuing a career
in agriculture.
“Through this partnership, I am optimistic returning veterans will learn how
to continue their service to
our country by helping feed
its citizens, nourish its land
and make its rural communities more viable through the
many entrepreneurial opportunities agriculture has to offer,”
said American Farm Bureau
Federation President Bob
Stallman.
The two organizations are
partnering to help find farm
ownership or employment
opportunities for members of
the military transitioning into
the civilian workforce, while
rebuilding rural communities. According to AFBF, the
resource guide provides Farm
Bureaus with a simple framework outlining ways to be
involved and train beginning
farmers.

TxDOT’s gravel plan on
hold...
The Texas Department of
Transportation’s (TxDOT) plan
to convert 83 miles of paved
road in South and West Texas
to gravel drew outrage from
lawmakers in Austin and citi-
in the kitchen at Hill Country
Care Center for about five
months. She enjoys seeing the
staff and residents happy and
smiling, which puts her in a
good mood. JoLynn is such
a pleasure to work with; she
is always smiling and very
friendly to everyone. She is a
very hard working woman, and
we are lucky to have her working with us.
Please don’t forget to stop
by our Angel Tree located at
zens in the counties affected.
Following a 60-day moratorium that ended this month,
TxDOT has not made any further plans for road conversions.
According to the Texas
Tribune, lawmakers appropriated $225 million for state
roads impacted by energy
sector development during
the legislative sessions. Last
month, Sen. Tommy Williams
(R-The Woodlands) offered
the agency the chance to double their budget to address
the road problem, making the
funding contingent on TxDOT
promising to hold local hearings before future road conversions took place.
Williams has since resigned
from the Senate.
The Legislative Budget
Board, which consists of
House and Senate representatives, denied TxDOT’s
request for additional funding. With the funding request
now hanging in limbo, Sen.
Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio)
is still hopeful the issue can
be resolved and TxDOT can
get the additional funding for
energy sector projects.
Vilsack says farming is
under-appreciated...
Americans spend as little
as 6 percent of their annual
income on food, but farming still is under-appreciated,
according to U.S. Secretary of
Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
“Farming is under-appreciated and misunderstood,”
Vilsack said. “It is a sophisticated business.”
The average age of farmers is nearing 60 years old,
but Vilsack is optimistic, listing strategies for the future of
agriculture. Farmers are getting more personal with their
customers, converting agricultural products like corn cobs
into plastic bottles and cooling
the wastewater from electrical plants by farmers planting
shade trees along streams.
Vilsack also told Politico
that the farm bill is treated as
a political football and is made
controversial because it controls food stamps.
“We need to have a better
appreciation of the contribution of rural America, not for
well-to-do farmers but for all
America,” Vilsack said.

There seems to be a resurgence of interest in bowhunting lately, judging by comments I’ve been hearing. For
instance, a few days ago I was
in a convenience store, and
I heard a guy in line in front
of me tell his friend, “There
seems to be a resurgence of
interest in bowhunting lately.”
Or maybe it was me that said
it. I don’t recall.
Regardless, several times
during the past couple of
months I’ve been asked how to
get started in archery. Maybe
that’s because a lot of my
friends had no idea I was an
archer until I managed to arrow
a deer this year, or maybe it’s
because they want to take my
advice and then do the opposite. I have no idea. Still, it’s
encouraging, in a scary sort
of way.
There are more decent bucks
this year than usual in Central
Texas, and in many other areas
of the state, so maybe that has
something to do with it. This
situation has been caused by
a strange set of circumstances,
which I will probably explain
incorrectly here. But I’m going
to make an effort anyway.
My
friend,
Shannon
Tompkins, who has been writing about the outdoors for the
Houson Chronicle so long that,
when he started, it was called
the Houston Handbill, evidently did some research, and came
up with some results. He tried
to impart his knowledge to me
over the phone the other day,
and I paid attention part of the
time.
About four or five years ago
there was a pretty phenomenal
fawn crop in Texas, due to
the fact that a lot of does gave
birth. This is probably normal,
does giving birth, but for some
reason a lot of those babies survived, and, as luck would have
it, grew into mature deer over
the intervening years. This big
fawn crop has probably been
documented by Texas Parks &
Wildlife types, so you might
check with one of them about
the details.
And then the drought came
along, which is not really good,
but it may have something to
do with this story, although to
be honest I guess I missed that
part. Something about inferior
deer dying off, maybe. We had
some rain along through there,
never a lot, but sometimes it
came at just the right times.
Like last fall, just before the
general deer season started.
This caused the oak trees,
which had just been sitting
around, being trees, to decide
to soak up a lot of that rain and
turn it into a bumper crop of
acorns (pronounced A-kurnz).
Because of all these acorns, a
large number of the bucks from
the huge fawn crop mentioned
earlier did not get lead poisoning last year. They avoided
corn feeders, ate acorns, and
stored up whatever minerals
acorns contain, probably horn
growth hormone. And didn’t
get shot. Which is a contributing factor in their still being
alive this year.
Now, before I get a lot
of angry mail from readers
informing me that whitetail
deer have antlers, and not
horns, let me just point out that
I don’t care. Actually, those
readers are correct, since deer
shed their antlers and grow
new ones every year, and
horns don’t fall off. But then,
I still don’t care. I call them
horns sometimes.
Anyway, a lot of folks seem
to have noticed all the bucks
running around, fruiting all
over the plains this year, and
decided they might want to
stick one with an arrow. This
is an admirable goal, and one I
encourage, although, if someone begins to learn archery

now, all these deer that are currently fruiting will probably be
long dead before that someone
manages to harpoon anything.
Just sayin’.
This is because learning
to shoot a bow proficiently
takes some work, and generally some time, at least a few
months. Longer for some than
others, of course. But learning
to bowhunt, if all you’ve ever
hunted with is a rifle, usually
takes a lot longer. A few years,
generally.
Of course, there are always
those certain individuals with
naturally outstanding hand/eye
coordination, and above average athletic ability, and impressive cognizance and hunting
skills, who could probably pick
up a bow and kill a deer with it
within a few weeks. I recommend these people be deported, because they’re embarrassing the rest of us. It took me
about four years to kill my first
deer with a bow, and lot of
luck at that.
All you need, if you want to
get into bowhunting, is a bow
and some arrows. And a target,
such as an old couch or refrigerator. And a shooting glove,
or a release if you’re using a
compound bow. And a quiver
to carry your arrows in, up
until you lose all of them. And
some broadheads, once you get
to the point where you’re ready
to actually shoot at live game.
And maybe some camouflage
clothes, and a set of rattling
horns, and some doe urine,
and some cover scent, and a
treestand, and a corn feeder,
and some face paint, and a

Candidates line up for party
primaries...
Texas’ primary election is set
for March 4, 2014, and the
list of candidates for statewide
office is largely settled, with
Dec. 9 as the filing deadline.
Most recently gaining notice
was state Sen. Leticia Van de
Putte, D-San Antonio, who
announced her candidacy for
lieutenant governor on Nov.
23. Van de Putte has 22 years
of experience as a state lawmaker — eight years as a state
representative and 14 years as
a senator. She serves as chair
of the Senate Committee on
Veteran Affairs and Military
Installations. Van de Putte
and her colleague Sen. Wendy
Davis, D-Fort Worth, who is
seeking the Texas Democratic
Party’s nomination for governor, form the nucleus of
an effort to end a 20-year
Republican sweep in statewide
elections. Also seeking the
Texas Democratic Party’s
nomination for lieutenant
governor is Seadrift Municipal
Court Judge Reynaldo “Ray”
Madrigal.
State Attorney General
Greg Abbott, a Republican, is
campaigning to succeed Rick
Perry as governor. Last summer, Perry chose not to seek
another term in the office he
has occupied since 2001 and
speculation about his mounting a second run for the presidency continues. Also running
for the Republican Party of
Texas’ gubernatorial nomination are former Univision personality Miriam Martinez of
the Rio Grande Valley, author
and former radio show host
Lisa Fritsch of Austin and
secessionist Larry S. Kilgore of
Arlington.

Four Republicans to vie...
While incumbent Lt. Gov.
David Dewhurst has presided
over the Senate since January
2003, he appears unready to
change his job description.

passed on a possible run for
governor, faces a field of three
of his fellow Republicans in
the GOP primary: Texas Land
Commissioner and former
state lawmaker Jerry Patterson,
Agriculture Commissioner
and former state senator Todd
Staples, and state Sen. Dan
Patrick of Houston, chair of the
Senate Education Committee.
Four seek to be next AG...
In the race to succeed Greg
Abbott as state attorney general is Houston attorney Sam
Houston, a Democrat, the
lone candidate seeking his
party’s nomination. Seeking
the Republican Party’s nomination are Texas Railroad
Commission Chairman Barry
Smitherman of Austin, state
Rep. Dan Branch of Dallas,
chairman of the House Higher
Education Committee; and
freshman state Sen. Ken
Paxton of McKinney, vice chair
of the Senate Transportation
Committee and former House
member (2003-2012).
Four running for comptroller...
Seeking the Texas GOP
nomination for comptroller of public accounts, to succeed Susan Combs as the
state’s chief financial officer,
are Republicans Harvey
Hilderbran of Kerrville, chair of
the House Committee on Ways
and Means; Sen. Glenn Hegar
of Katy, chair of the Senate
Committee on Nominations;
and Debra Medina of
Wharton, a registered nurse,

Republican, has filed for candidacy to retain his current
position. Hecht, who has been
a member of the high court
since 1988, was appointed
chief justice on Sept. 10 and
was sworn in on Oct. 1. He
succeeded fellow Republican
Wallace Jefferson. As of Dec.
1, no Democrat had filed as a
candidate for chief justice.
TxDOT has repair plan...
The Texas Department of
Transportation on Nov. 26
announced a resolution to
manage the maintenance of
roads heavily used by energy
companies in LaSalle County,
where cheap patches on damaged stretches were proposed
to the Texas Legislature last
summer, due to budget tightening.
TxDOT leaders said they
have agreed with La Salle
County to share responsibility in repairing roads in need
and maintaining them over
time and agreements with
other affected counties in the
region are being worked on.
Counties will purchase the
materials while TxDOT will
perform repairs and provide
labor. “Once fixed, the county
will take over maintenance
of the roads and be responsible for them for five years
or until traffic in those energy
areas drops off,” according to
TxDOT’s statement.

Texas Tales
When El Paso’s Western
Union office received the telegram at 1 p.m. that Aug. 19,
1895, it took young Lewis
Hubbard an hour to find its
recipient.
Even at 11, Hubbard knew
the reputation of the man he
now hunted – a hard-drinking, hard-hearted shootist said
to have slain 42 men before
spending 17 years in prison
at Huntsville for killing a
sheriff’s deputy in Comanche
County in 1874. While behind
bars, with nothing but time
on his hands, John Wesley
Hardin read the law. Soon
after his release in 1894, he
passed the bar exam.
For a time, Hardin represented clients in Gonzales. He
also married a 15-year-old girl
and tried to stay off booze. But
the bloom soon faded from the
rose of romance.
Seeking a fresh start,
Hardin took the train from
San Antonio to mountainflanked El Paso. With plenty
of cross-country railroad traffic, the border town enjoyed a
robust economy. Beyond that,
the City at the Pass had no
shortage of thriving saloons,
gambling houses and brothels.
In other words, it was a targetrich environment for a man
like Hardin, a fellow equally
comfortable standing before
the bar of justice or leaning
against the other type of bar.
Hubbard found Hardin
inside the Acme Saloon on
El Paso’s once notorious San
Antonio Street about 2 p.m.
that summer day. Hardin
had just raised a glass to his
lips when he saw the boy
approaching with a telegram
in his hand.
“He put the glass down
when I came up to him,”
Hubbard recalled years later.
“Evidently he drank all afternoon that day.”
Hardin may have been in his
cups, but he comported himself like a Southern gentleman.
After the boy handed him the
sealed envelope containing
the message, the 42-year-old
killer reached into his pocket
and gave Hubbard a dime. He
also offered the kid a little free
guidance:
“Son, don’t ever do this.”
By “this” Hardin presumably meant hanging out in
saloons, getting drunk and
shooting craps. It could be
inferred that his admonition
also extended to shooting men.
Hubbard thanked Hardin
and went back to work. In turn,
Hardin went back to drinking.
The next time the messenger
boy saw Hardin, he lay in a
coffin on public display.
That night, bad blood
between Hardin and El Paso
Constable John Selman, Sr.
ended with the spilling of
Hardin’s blood. Before the
semi-reformed outlaw could
get off a shot, Selman put a
bullet through his head. Just
for good measure, the constable shot him three more times
as he lay on the saloon floor.
Some contended Selman had
back-shot Hardin as he threw a
by Mike Cox
set of dice and pronounced,
“Four sixes to beat.” Others
said it looked like Hardin had
been going for his six-shooter
and that Selman shot him in
the face in self defense.
As published by the El Paso
Times, here’s part of what
Selman said:
“About 11 o’clock, I came
into the Acme Saloon to take
a drink with Mr. Shackelford.
Shackelford said…not to go
to getting drunk. I told him
I would not get drunk for I
expected trouble. That Hardin
had said he would make me…
[having to do with a natural
bodily process on the part of
a startled coyote] and if he
tried it, he’d have to fight.
Immediately after Shackelford
and me took a drink Hardin
threw his hand on his gun and
I grabbed mine and went to
shooting….”
The bartender offered this
version:
“Hardin was standing…
with Henry Brown shaking
dice and Mr. Selman walked
in the door and shot him. E.L.
Shackelford was also in the
saloon at the time…. Hardin
was standing with his back to
Mr. Selman. I did not see him
face around before he fell, or
make any motion. All I saw
was that Mr. Selman came in
the door, said something and
shot, and Hardin fell. Don’t
think Hardin ever spoke.”
No matter the circumstances, one of the West’s most
feared gunman was dead.
Outside of family members,
his girlfriend and a few cronies, the prevailing sentiment
could be summed up in two
words: good riddance.
Even in death, however,
Hardin got in one last lick. As
the local newspaper reported:
“Undertaker Tom Powell
had [Hardin’s] body on his
table cleaning it when a contraction of the muscles caused
Hardin’s arm to swing around,
landing his fist in Powell’s
back as he was leaning over
the body. Tom jumped around
and wanted to know who
had struck him. And Tom
don’t deny that he felt a little
shaky….”
Selman did stand trial for
killing Hardin, but the jury
could not reach a verdict.
Before his next court date,
while out on bond, he got into
another gunfight. This time it
was with a U.S. marshal and
Selman lost, his case permanently adjudicated.
The boy who delivered
Hardin’s last telegram followed the killer’s kindly
advice. After graduating from
high school in El Paso, in
1899, Hubbard enrolled
at the University of Texas
in Austin and went on to a
long career as an educator. In
1926, he became president of
what is now Texas Women’s
University in Denton.
Hubbard spent his last
days at a nursing home in
Georgetown, his life ending
at 91 on July 13, 1973. Unlike
Hardin and Selman, he died of
natural causes.

The Dirt
on Hill Country
Gardening
by David Steinbrunner & Linda Tarrant
Seasonal Things
Cold usually shows up in
the Hill Country at some point
in November, with December
bringing more serious bouts
of the same. Be certain that
your pipes are protected as
the temperature plummets.
And cold weather may not
bring any moisture with it.
For those plants that you care
for all summer or plants that
you’ve put in the ground this
fall, it is advisable to water
every 10 days or two weeks
when there is no rain. Roots
keep growing all winter long,
even though plants appear to
have stopped growing above
ground. The moisture also
helps plants through cold
spells. If you haven’t already
mulched everything, get this
chore behind you.
This includes cutting your
indigo spires, Mexican bush
sage, and other plants back
to the ground and mulching over them. Anything that

you take care during planting that you water well and
eliminate all the air pockets
into which the cold can filter
down and cause root damage.
After planting during cold
weather, it is okay to add a
loose mulch thickly around
the base and trunks of trees.
Do not mulch up the trunk of
a tree; start with mulch a few
inches out from the trunk and
get heavier as you reach the
drip line.
Roses will also appreciate
a mulch covering the crown
of their roots with mulch
through the winter months.
This mulch should be pulled
away from the roots in the
spring and left to cover the
root zone, but not cover the
crown of the trunk during the
warm months.

freezes to the ground will
benefit by having a heavy
mulch over it through winter. This may be raked back
when spring gets here.
The best thing about cold
weather is that trees have
gone dormant. This happens
after the first hard freeze,
not just a dip down near 32
degrees. So far, we haven’t
really had a hard freeze, but
we may see temperatures
plummet more this week.
This makes perfect conditions for planting new trees
or transplanting trees or
shrubs that have volunteered
in a place that they don’t
belong.
When planting and transplanting in cold weather, be
careful that you don’t leave
the roots of trees exposed to
the cold for more that a few
minutes. The roots can freeze
and cause damage.

IN SHORT
. .from the Library
With Thanksgiving celebration over, now it is time to turn
our focus onto Christmas! The
library staff has “hit the floor
running”, as the old saying
goes. We are in “decorating”
mode.
Jerry Wallace has been
contacted about hanging the
outdoor lights. He and his
crew will also handle all of
the heavy lifting of the decoration totes. Jerry is always
willing to help the library at
a moment’s notice and we
appreciate him and his crew
so much.
The display case, Kimble
Krafter Korner, will be
changed out. Christina Beam’s
collection of snowmen will be
the featured exhibit for the
month of December.
The Christmas tree will be
trimmed, and we need your
help in this area. The past
two or three years, the library,
with the help of Dena Lackey
and her crafting friends, has
adorned the main Christmas
tree in the foyer with homemade ornaments.
A request is going out to the
community, inviting everyone
to bring in one or two homemade ornaments by the 3rd of
December. The library will
display these ornaments until
December 20, at which time
you may take your ornament
home for your enjoyment.
We hope that there will be
numerous ornaments brought
in. This makes the library’s
Christmas tree a “one of a
kind” and truly a community
tree.
The library is also adding
another tree to its decorations,
and it is called an “Upside
Down Christmas Tree.”
Back in July, yours truly
was in the Christmas Store
in Boerne and they had this
most unusual and most gorgeous Christmas tree. After
researching the subject of
Upside Down Christmas trees,
it was found that these trees
have been around for some
time. After seeing these trees,
we decided that the library
would try to feature one for
display at Christmas. Come
by to see how the library’s
Upside Down Christmas tree
turns out.
Dena Lackey is also sharing her decorative Christmas
stocking from the 50’s. If you
have one that you would like
to share with the public, bring
it by, and we will add it to the
display.
After all of the decorations
are up, it will be time to work
on the “calendar of events.”
Here are a couple of dates
that you will want to mark on
your calendar: a puppet show
on Tuesday, December 17,
beginning with the kindergarteners from Junction ISD at
Community Calendar
Masonic Lodge to meet
by Sylvia Lawler
9 a.m., first graders at 9:30
a.m., and ending with the final
performance at 10 a.m. for the
library’s Storytime children.
The library staff will also host
our annual Christmas “Open
House” on Friday, December
20. Refreshments will be
served all day, and door prizes
will be given away.
During the month of
December, make frequent
trips to the library to check
materials out and to enjoy the
Christmas decoration and the
hospitality at Kimble County
Library.
NEW
BOOK
ON
SHELF: Snow Hunters by
Paul Yoon; “Snow Hunters
traces the extraordinary journey of Yohan, who defects
from his country at the end
of the Korean War, leaving
his friends and family behind
to seek a new life on the
coast of Brazil. Throughout
his years there, four people
slip in and out of his life:
Kiyoshi, the Japanese Tailor
for whom he works, Peixe,
the groundskeeper at the town
church, and two vagrant children named Santi and Bia.
Yohan longs to connect with
these people, but to do so, he
must let go of his traumatic
past. In Snow Hunters, Yoon
proves that love can dissolve
loneliness, that hope can wash
away despair, and that a man
who has lost a country can
find a new home. This is a
heartrending story of second
chances, told with unerring
elegance and tenderness.”
