June 19, 1967 Chairman and Members Board, Calhoun County Library 301 South Ann St. Port Lavaca, Texas 77979 Dear Board: May I restate here what I have said to some of you orally and to the members of the Seadrift, Library Committee with whom I met on this past June 8. It is my understanding that, if the Seadrift library unit is to develop in its collection and its service to the public, it must be,fully integrated, as a branch library, into the general framework of the Calhoun County Library. By that I -mean that the Calhoun County Librarian should receive from the County Cpmmissioners Court full authorization to perform all pro- fessional tasks and to supervise all services of the Seadrift ,library unit, including the preparation, with the advice and coun- eel of the Calhoun County Library Board and SUbject to the approval of the Calhoun County Commissioners Court, of a countywide library budget each year, incorporating the needs of the Seadrift unit. I further recommended, you may recall, inclusion of funds, in the forthcoming budget for the county library, for the hiring of a com- petent clerical employee to provide services at the Seadrift outlet, under the direction and immediate supervision of your certified County Librarian. Only if these steps are taken, I feel, will the Seadrift unit have any real pro~pects for significant, lasting development as a public library outlet. I do hope that the Calhoun County Commissioners Court will see fit to take the steps that,I have suggested here. Sincerely yours, (s) Sam H. Suhler Field Consultant 8 INSURANCE - WORKMENS COMPENSATION ~ Stanley Mikula and Mr. Butler representing the Travelers Insllrance Company met with the Court and reviewed the experience of thE~ County's Workmens Compensation Insurance and reported the am()unt the premium would be in 1967.

The 4-H Council, under the leadership of the adult leaders, governs the allocation of 4-H funds and the organization of the county 4-H program. Everyone connected with the Calhoun County 4-H is 'looking forward -to a bigger and better year in 1968. The basis for improvement has been ,built during the fall of 1967 and with the help of adult leaders, interested members and strong club officers, everyone may look for- ward optimistically to the improvement of established programs, the establishment of new projects and an increased opportunity to parti- cipate in all available 4-H activities and projects. 1967 BEEF CATTLE AND RANGE REPORT Most of the beef cattle and range work was done with the cooperation of Calhoun County Cattlemen's Association, ,composed of W. W. Zwerschke, President and directors Joe Brett, Billy Burt Traylor, Curtis Nelson, Curtis Foester, Virgil Townley, Louis Griffith, Alvin Hahn and M. B. Bindewald. Also, the Junior Livestock Show was put on by the Junior bivestock Show Committee composed of Billy Burt Traylor, Chairman, Homer Stevens and Clarence Schomburg. 1967 has been a very profitable year as far as the beef cattle in- dustry is concerned. An all out effort has been put into the brucel- losis testing programs in Calhoun County. As of January 1, 1968, we had tested 27,364 head in first herd tests and 26,436 head on re- test. Only one herd in the county remains ~ntested and all herds except 14 have been certified as clean herds. We had about 2~% re- - actors in the county, which wasn't bad at all. We expect to be a ~ype II Certified County within the next 60 days. A, grub control demonstration was condpcted on the D. L. Traylor, Jr. Ranch. Some 20 head of cattle were tested with Co-Ral and 20 head were treated with Ruelene. The pour-on method was used in both cases, and good results were obtained in both cases. Some 35 Calhoun County cattlemen made the annual Cattlemen's Tour to the Beeville Experiment Station where cattle feeding tests were being conducted and grass plots were observed. At Laredo, J. ,B. Talcott, County Agent, explained a method of testing for the size of the rib- eye by an electroni~ machine. Also, the group observed the annual horse races. A group attended the State Herford meeting in Austin. A group attended the beef cattle day at the Wortham Foundation. Cattlemen continued ~o give the screwworn eradication program co- operation. The county continues to be free of this pest. One-hundred percent cooperation has been given to both the brucellosis and screwor.rn program and we appreciate this very much. - 114 HOME ECONOMIC PROGRAMS IN 1967 Family Living Committee: Mrs. Charles Crober" Chairman, Mrs. J.

The crop boosted the agricultural income by more than $3,009,000. The Committee carried out several activities in 1967 to help further develop grain sorghum yields in the county. 1. County wide tour on production results was conducted to plots. 2. Ninety-two farmers assisted with fertilizer and variety and weed control. 3. News articles, personal letters, radio and group meetings were all used in educational work with farmers. 4. Grain sorghum-cotton rotation and residue study is discussed under ~oil and Water Conservation. A time of 'application of fertilizer test was conducted on the James Shannon farm. This test was conducted for the purpose of finding out what affect the time of application of fertilizer would have on the yield of grain sorghum. This is a one year test and excessive rains suring the period of the test could change the results so this test will be'continued for several years. In the test, liquid 16-12-3 at the rate of 394 lbs. per acre was applied in bands in the beds. The cost of the fertilizer was $3.05 per cwt. On November 20, 1966, 394 lbs. of 16-12-3 was applied and this plot cut 5040 Ibs. per acre. On 3anuary 21, 1967,'394 lbs. of 16-12-3 was applied and this plot cut 4860 lbs. per acre. On April 7, 1967, 394 lbs.^of 16-12-3 was applied and this plot cut 4770 lbs. per acre. This was a difference of only 270 lbs. of grain per acre and figuring grain at $2.05 per cwt. this would make about $5.50 per acre.' As stated above, differ= ent weather conditions might have changed these figures. The grain sorghum variety test was conducted on the Ralph Grier Farm. All plots were planted on March 10, 1967, and 225 lbs. of 16-12=3 was applied per acre preplant in bands. The results were as follows: 116 VARIETY CUP WT. MOIST.

SOIL AND WATER CONSE~VATION REPQRT Committee: Alvin Hahn, Chairman, Fritz Sturm, Fisher Smith, H. C. Wehmeyer, Jr.,.Travis Tanner . Drainage and soil fertility continue to be major problems in some sections of the county. Many, many hours have been spent by a lot of people on drainage this year and'we are glad to see, that toe first stage of drainage contract has beenavarded in Drainage Dis- trict No. 11. I I f'o ~ o ~ Q U I I 117 We have continued the residue and cropping study on the A. E. Mickle farm. This is a five year study and demonstration and we are getting good results. The 1967 results follows: Plot No. 1 was planted to Pioneer 846 following cotton in1966. The plot received 194 Ibs. of 16-20-0 and 108 lbs. of 21-0-0 on December 3, 1966 in bands. This plot cut 3600 lbs. of grain per acre. Plot No. 2.was planted to Stonville 213 following maize in 1966. The plot was fertilized with 167 Ibs. of 16-20-0 per acre on December 3, 1966. This plot picked 1000 lbs. of seed cotton per acre. Cotton root rot seemed to be on the decrease in the area. Plot No. 3 was planted to Pioneer 846 followhng maize in 1966. This plot had not had any fertilizer or rotation since the test started. -This plot cut 1950 Ibs. of grain sorghum per acre. This plot will remain untreated throughout the test. Plot No. 4 was planted to Sudax SXll following maize in 1966. The plot was fertilized with 194 lbs. of 16-20-0 and 108 Ibs. of 21-0-0 on December 3, 1966 in bands. On may 12, 1967, 118 lbs. of 21-0-0 was applied broadcast and 18,200 Ibs. of green weight residue was shredded down on the surface. On June 23, 1967, 7,700 lbs. of green weight residue was shredded down on surface. On June-3l, 1967 5,300 Ibs. of green weight residue was shredded~own on surface. This made a total of 31,200 Ibs. of material shredded during the 1967 growing season. Dry weather affected the regrowth to some degree in this plot. Plot No. 5 was planted to Pioneer 846 following Sudax SXll in 1966. The plot was fertilized with 194 lbs. of 16-20-0 and 108 lbs. of 21-0-0 were applied in bands on Dec. 3, 1966. This plot cut 3400 lbs. of grain sorghum. Plot No. 1 produced 1650 Ibs. more grain than the check for a net gain of $10.25 per acre. Plot No. 5 produced 1450 lbs. more than check area or a net profit of $8.16 above the check plot. The test will be continued in 1968. Some interest has been created concerning trace elements. This will receive attention in 1968. The matter of breakage ~f lighting fixtures, light bulbs ~nd light bulbs, window panes, etc. by organizations renting building was discussed and Mr. Cook was advised to notify those responsible to be more careful of the premises.

This same procedure is required to be carried out in case of any extension or renewal prolonging the contract. If a wiave' is given, a con- tract may be entered into without awaiting the thirty-day period. In case the Attorney is not in a position to comply with the Court's order, and fails or refuses to file written waiver and a contract is entered into after the expiration of thirty days, a certified copy of the order of the Commissioners Court direct- ing the County Attorney to bring suit, together with a certIfied copy of a subsequent order of said Court showing that the County Attorney had failed or refused to comply with the Court's former order, should accompany the contract when=sent for approval. Condition No.1, or No.2, in the first paragraph of the contract should be struck out, according to whether waiver is, or is not, given. The state officials much prefer a waiver, for the reason it indicates cooperation and harmony among the county officials, which is essential to obtain best results. A form 'of waiver and of resolution and order has been' prepared for the convenience of the County Attorney and the Commissioners Court, respectively. Two copies' of these forms will 'be furnished with the contract forms;' one of each when completed' to be kept for the Commissioners Court file,. and 'the others may.be used by the County Clerk in writing certified copies to be'sent to this Department. The DATE OF THE WAIVE SHOULD BE ,ON OR, PRIOR TO 'THE DATE OF THE CONTRACT. THE DATE'OF CONTRACT SHOULD' BE 'ON OR PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE OR BEGINNING DATE OF SERVICE. OTHERWISE THE CONTRACT WOULD BE RETROACTIVE AND APPROVAL DECLINED. When a waiver from the County Attorney has been given and a resolution and order. of the Commissioners Court made'preparatory to entering into a delinquent tax contract, BOTH THE WAIVER AND THE RESOLUTION AND ORDER SHOULD BE RECORDED IN 1 THE MINUTES OF THE COMMISSIONERS COURT AND A CERTIFIED COpy OF EACH SHOULD ACCOMPANY COPIES OF THE CONTRACT WHEN SENT TO THIS :OFFICE FOR APPROVAL. The contract should not be recorded until after its approval by the state officials. After approval of the Attorney General and the State Comptroller has been noted on all three copies of the con- tract they will be returned,. one of 'which should b"e recorded in the minutes of the Commissioners Court, and the County Clerk's certificate noted on all three copies. One copy should be return- ed for Comptroller's files, one copy retained by the party with whom contract is made, and the other delivered to the County Tax- Assessor-Collector. ..'" ,:,"" ',' .

For the purpose of calculating the rental paylllJents hereinafter provided for, said land is estimated to comprise 17.28 acres, whether it actually comprises more or less. , 2. Subject to the other provisions herein contained, th:i.s lease shall be for a term of two (2) years from this date (called "Primary Term") and as long thereafter as oil, gas or other min- eral is produced from said land or land with which said land is pooled hereunder. 3. The royalties to be paid by Lessee are: (a) on oil, one-sixth (1/6) of that produced and saved from said land, thE~ 1 I to- <:l" o ~ o (".;) I I 'free L, , same to be delivered at the wells or to the credit of Lessor into the pipelines to which the wells may be connected; Lessee may from time to time purchase any royalty oil in its possession, paying the market price therefor previaling for the field where produced on the date of purchase; (b) on gas, including casinghead gas or other gaseous sub- stance, produced from said land and sold or used off the premises or for the extraction of gasoline or other product therefrom, the market value at the well of 1/6th of the gas so sold or used provided that on gas sold at the wells the royalty shall be 1/6th of the amount rea- lized from such sale; while there is a gas well on this lease or on acreage pooled therewith but gas is not being sold or used, Lessee may pay royalty on or before ninety (90) days after the date on which (1) said well is shut in, or (2) the land cov,ered hereby or any portion thereof is included in a pooled unit on which a well is located, or (3) this lease ceases to be otherwise maintained as provided herein, whichever is the later date, and thereafter at annual intervals on or before the anniversary of the date the first payment is made, a sum equal to the amount of the annual rental payable in lieu of dril- ling operations during the primary term on the number of acres sub- ject to this lease at the time such payment is made, and if such pay~ ment is made or tendered, this lease shall not term1nate and it will be considered that gas is being produced from this lease in paying quantities; and (c) on all other minerals mined and marketed, one- tenth either in kind or value at the well or mine, At Lessee's elec- tion, except that on sulphur mined and marketed the royalty shall be fifty (509) per long ton. Lessee shall have free use of oil, gas coal and water from said land, except water from Lessor's wells, for all operations hereunder, and the royalty on oil, gas and coal shall be computed after deducting any so used. 4. Lessee, at its option, is hereby given the right and power to pool or combine the acreage covered by this lease or any portion thereof as to oil and gas, or either of them, with any other land cov~- ered by this lease and/or with any other land, lease or leases in the immediate vicinity thereof to the extend hereinafter stipulated when in Lessee's judgment, it is necessary or advisable to do so in order properly to explore or to develop and operate said leased pre- mises in compliance with the spacing rules of the Railroad Commis- sion of Texas, or other lawful authority, or when. to do so would, in the judgment of Lessee, promote the conservation of oil and gas in; and under and that may be produced from said premises. Units pooled for oil hereunder shall not substantially exceed 40 acres each in area, and units pooled for gas hereunder ,shall not substantially exceed in ar.ea 640 acres each plus a tolerance of ten per cent (10%) thereof, provided that should governmental authority having juris- diction prescribe or permit the creation of units larger than those specified, for the drilling or operation of a well at a regular loca- tion or for obtaining maximum allowable from any well to be drilled drilling or already drilled, units thereafter created may conform substantially in size with those prescribed or permitted by govern- mental regulations. Lessee under the provisions hereof may pool or combine acreage covered by this lease or any portion thereof as a- bove provided as to oil in anyone or more strata and as to gas in any one or more strata. The units formed by pooling as to any stratum or strata need not conform in size or area with the unit or units into which the lease is pooled or combined as to a:ny other stratum or strata, and oil units need not conform as to area with gas units. the pooling in one or more instances shall not exhaust the rights of the Lessee hereunder to pool this lease or portions thereof into other units. Lessee shall file for record in the appropriate records of the county in which the leased premises are situated an instrument des- cribing and designating the pooled acreage as a pooled unit; and upon such recordation the unit shall be effective as to all parties hereto, their heirs, successors and assigns, irrespective of whether or not the unit is likewise effective as to all other owners of surface, mineral, royalty, or other rights in land included in such unit, 204 Lessee may at its election exercise its pooling option befoI'e or after commencing operations for or completing an oil or gas well on the leased premises, and the pooled unit may include, but: it is not required to include, land or leases upon which a well capa- ble of producing oil or gas in paying quantities has therete,fore been completed or upon which operations for the drilling of a well for oil or gas have theretofore been commenced. In the even,t of operations for drilling on or production of oil or gas from any part of ,a pooled unit which includes all or a portion of the land covered by this lease, regardless of whether such operations for drilling were commenced or such production was secured before or after the execution of this instrument or the instrument designa~ ting the pooled unit, such operations shall be considered as operatioa for drilling on or production of oil or gas from land covered by this lease whether or not the well or wells be located on the pre- mises covered by this lease and in such event operations for dril- ling shall be deemed to have been commenced on said land within the meanin~ of paragraph 5 of this lease; and the entire acreage con~ sti1:ut~ng such unit or units, as to oil and gas, or either of them, as herein provided, shall be treated for all purposes, except the pay- . ment of royalties on production from the pooled unit, as if the same were included .in this lease. For the purpose of computing the royal- ties to which owners of royalties and payments out of production and ' each of them shall be entitled on production of oil and gas, or either of them, from the pooled unti, there shall be allocated to the land covered by this lease and included in said unit (or to each l!eparate tract within the unit if this lease covers separate tracts within the unit) a pro rata portion of the oil and gas, or either of them, pro- duced from the pooled unti after deducting that used for opel~ations on the pooled unit. Such allocation shall be on an acreage basis - that is to say, there shaLl be allocated to the acreage covered by this lease and included in the pooled unit (or to each separate) tract within the unit if this lease covers separate tracts within the unit) that pro rata portion of the oil and gas, or either of them, I produced from the pooled unit which the number of surface aCl~S cov- ered by this lease (or in each such separate tract) and included in the pooled unit bears',to the total number of surface acres irlcluded in the pooled unit. Royalties hereunder shall be computed on the por- tion of such production, whether it be oil and gas, or either of them so allocated to the land covered by this lease and included in the unit just as though such ,production were from such land. The pro- d~cti6h from an oil well will be considered as production frem the lease or oi1 pooled unit from which it is producing and not a,s pro- duction from a gas pooled unit; and production from a gas well will be considered as production from the lease or gas pooled unit, from which it is producmg and not from an oil pooled unit. The formation of any unit hereunder shall not have the effect of changing the ow- nership of any delay rental or shut-in production royalty which may become payable under this lease. If this lease now or hereafter covers separate tracts, no pooling or unitization of royalty interest as between any such separate tracts is intended or shall be implied or result merely from the inclusion of such separate tracts within this lease but Lessee shall nevertheless have the right to pool as provided above with consequent allocation of production as above pro- vided. As used in this paragraph 4, the words "separate tract" mean any tract with royalty ownership differing-, now or hereafter, either as to parties or amounts, from that as to any other part of the leased premises. I 5. If operations for drilling are not commenced on said land or on acreage pooled therewith as above provided on or before one year from this date, the lease shall then terminate as to both I I to- <:l'I o ~ Q r...;> I I 20.'- ,~ ' parties, unless on or before such anniversary date Lessee shall payor tender (or shall make a bonafide attempt to payor tender, as hereinafter stated) to Lessor or to the credit of Lessor in Bank at ,Texas, (which bank and its successors are Lessor's agent and shall continue as the depository for all rentals payable hereunder regardless of changes in ownership of said land or the rentals) the sum of Thirty Four and 56/100 Dollars ($34.56) herein called rentals, which shall cover the privilege of deferring COmmencement of drilling operations for a period of twelve (12) months. In like manner and upon like payments or tenders annually, the commence- ment of drilling operations may be further deferred for successive periods of twelve (12) months each during the primary teItll. The payment or tender of rental under this paragraph and of royalty under paragraph 3 on any gas well from which gas is not being sold or used may be made by the check or draft of Lessee mailed or de- livered to the parties entitled thereto or to said bank or or be- fore the date of payment. ]'f such bank (or any successor bank) should fail, liquidate or be succeeded by another bank, or for any reason fail or refuse to accept rental, Lessee shall not be held in default for failure to make such payment or tender of rental until thirty (30). days after Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a proper recordable instrument naming another bank as agent to receive such payments or tenders. If lessee shall, on or before any anniversary date, make a bona fide attempt to payor deposit rental to a Lessor entitled thereto according to Lessee's records or to a Lessor, who, prior. to such attempted payment or deposit, has given Lessee notice, in accordance with subsequent provisions of this lease of his right to receive rental, and if such payment or deposit shall be ~neffective or erroneous in any regard, Lessee shall be unconditionally obliga- ted to pay to such Lessor the rental property payable for the rental period involved, and this lease shall not teItllinate but shall be maintained in the same manner as if such erroneous or ineffective rem.. tal payment or deposit be corrected within 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written notice. from such Lessor of such error accompanied by such instruments as are necessary to enable Lessee to make proper payment. The down cash payment is consideration for this l~ase ac- cording to its teItlls and shall not be allocated as a mere rental for a period. Lessee may at any time or times execute and deliver to Lessor or to the depository above named or place of record a release or releases of this lease as to all or any part of the above des- cribed premises, or of any mineral or horizon under all or any part thereof, and thereby be relieved of all obligations as to the releas- ed land or interest. If this lease is released as to, all minerals and &arizons under a portion of the land covered by this lease, the rentals and other payments computed in accordance therewith shall thereupon be reduced in the proportion that the number of surface acres within such released portion bears to the total number of sur- face acres which was covered by this lease immediatel~prior to such release. 6. If prior to discovery and production of oil, gas or other mineral on said land or on acreage pooled therewith, Lessee should drill a dry hole or holes thereon, or if after discovery and product- ion of oil, gas or other mineral, the production thereof should cease from any cause, this lease shall not terminate if Lessee commences operations for drillin~ or reworking within sixty (60) days there- after or if it be with:m the primary teItll, commences or, resumes the payment or tender of rentals or commences operations for drilling or reworking on or before the rental paying date next ensuing after the 206 expiration of sixty days from date of completion of dry hole or cessa- tion of production. If at any time subsequent to sixty (60) days prior to the beginninlj: of the last year of the primary term land prior to the discovery of 01.1, gas and other mineral on said land, or on acreage pooled therewith, Lessee should drill a dry hole thelreon, no rental payment or operations are necessary in order to keep the lease in force durin~ the remainder of the primary term. If at the I expiration of the pr~ry term, oil, gas or other mineral is not being produced on said land, or on acreage pooled therewith, But Lessee is t.hen engaged in drilling or reworking operations thereon or shall have completed a dry hole thereon w'ithin sixty (60) days prior to the end of the primary term, the lease shall remain in force so long as operations on said well or for drilling or ll"e- working of any additional well are prosecuted with no cessatiLon of ''', ." more than sixty (6) consecutive days, and if they result in the pro- duction of oil, gas or other minerals, so long thereafter as oil, gas or other mineral is produced from said land or acreage pooled there- with. Any pooled unit designated by Lessee in accordance with the terms.hereof may be dissolved by Lessee by instrument ,filed for re- cord in the appropriate records of the county in which the lE!ased premises are situated at any time after the completion of a dry hole or the cessation of production on said unit. In the eVE!nt a well or wells producing oil or ~as in paying quantities should be brought in on adjacent land and w1.thin three hundred thirty (330) feet of and draining the leased premises, or acreage pooled t:herewith Lessee agrees to drill such offset wells as at'reasonably pzudent operator would drill under the same or similar circumstances., 7. Lessee shall have the right at any time during the ~,ithin six months after the expiration of this lease to remove all property and fixtures placed by Lessee on said land, including the ri~~t to draw and remove all casing. When required by Lessor, Lessee will I bury all pipe lines below ordinary plow depth, and no well shall be drilled within two hundred (200) feet of any residence or barn now on said land without Lessor's consent. 8. The rights of either party hereunder may be assigned. in whole or in part, and the provisions hereof shall extend to their heirs, successors and assigns; but no change or division in ownershi.p of the land, rentals or royalties, however accomplished, shall operate to enlarge the obligations or diminish the rights of Lessee; and. no change or division in such ownership shall be binding on Lessee until thirty (30) days after Lessee shall have been furnished. by registered U. S. mail at Lessee's principal place of business: with a certified copy of recorded instrument or instruments eviden.cing same. In the event of assignment hereof in whoe or in part, lia- bility for breach of any obligation hereunder shall rest exclusive- ly upon the owner of this lease or of a portion thereof who commits such breach. In the event of the death of any person entitled to rentals hereunder, Lessee may payor tender such rentals to the cre- dit of the deceased or the estate of the deceased until such time as Lessee is furnished with proper evidence of the appointment a.nd qualification of an executor or administrator of the estate, or if there be none, then until Lessee is furnished with evidence satis- factory to it as to the heirs or devisees of the deceased and that all debts of the estate have been paid. If at any time two or more persons be entitled to participate in the rental payalbe I hereunder, Lessee may payor tender said rental jointly to such persons or to their joint credit in the depository named herein; or at Lessee's election, the proportionate part of said rentals to which . I to- <:l'I o ~ r:..> r...;> I I Cp 0 F; k ~J each participant is entitled may be paid or tendered to hlm sep- arately or to his separate credit in said depository; and payment or tender to any participant of his portion of the rentals hereunder shall maintain this lease as to such participant. In event of as- signment of this lease as to a segregated portion of said land, the rentals payable hereunder shall be apportionable as between the several leasehold owners retably according to the surface area of each, and default in rental payment by one shall not affect the rignts of other leasehold owners hereunder. If six or more parties become entitled to royalty hereunder, Lessee may withhold payment thereof unless and until furnished with a recordable instrument executed by all such parties designating an agent to receive payment for all. 9. The breach,by Lessee of any obligation arising hereunder shall not work a forfeiture or termination of this lease nor cause a termination or reversion 'of the estate created hereby nor be grounds for cancellation hereof in whole or in part. In the event Lessor considers that operations are not at any time being conducted in compliance with this lease, ,Lessor shall notify Lessee in writ- ing of the facts relied upon as constituting a breach hereof, and Lessee, if in default, shall have sixty ,days after receipt of such notice in which to commence the compliance with the obligations lm- posed by virtue of this instrument. After the discovery of oil, gas or other mineral in paying quantities on said premises, Lessee shall develop the acrea~e retained hereunder as a reasonably pru- dent operator, but in d1scharging this obligation it shall in no event be required to drill more than one well per forty (40 acres of the area retained hereunder and capable of producing oil-in paying quantities and one well per 640 acres plus an acreage tolerance not to exceed 19% of 640 acres of the area retained hereunder and capa- ble of producing gas or other. mineral in paying quantities. 10. Lessor warrants and a~rees to defend the title to said land and agrees that Lessee at 1tS option may discharge any tax, mortgage or other lien upon said ,land, either in whole or in part, and in event Less~e does so, it shall be subrogated to such lien with right to enforce same and apply rentals and royalties accruing here- under toward satisfying same. Without lmpairment of Lessee's rights under the warranty in event of failure of title, it is agreed that if this lease covers a less interest in the oil, gas, sulphur, or other minerals in all or any part of said land than the entire and undivided fee slmple estate (whether Lessor's interest is herein specified or not), or no interest therein, then the royalties, delay rental, and other monies accruing from any part as to which this lease covers less than such full interest, shall be paid only in the pro- portion which the interest, if any, covered by this lease, bears to the whole and undivided fee slmple estate therein. All royalty in- terest cpve~d by this lease (whether or not owned by Lessor) shall be paid out of the royalty herein provided. Should, anyone or more of the parties named above as Lessors fail to execute this lease, it shall nevertheless be binding upon the party or parties executIng the same. Failure of Lessee to reduce rental paid hereunder shall not impair the right of Lessee to reduce royalties. 11. Should Lessee be. prevented from c"omplying with any express or implied covenant of this lease, from conducting drilling or rework- ing operations thereon or from producing oil or gas therefrom by rea- son of scarcity of or inability to obtain or to use equipment or mat- erial or by operation of force majeure, any Federal or State law or any order, rule or regulation of governmental authority, then while 208 so prevented, Lessee's obligation to comply with such covenant shall be suspended, and Lessee shall not be liable in damagefl for failure to comply therewith; and this lease shall be extended while and so long as Lessee is prevented by any such cause from conducting drilling or reworking operations on or from producing oil or gas from this leased premises; and the time while Lessee is so pre- I vented shall not be counted against Lessee, anything in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding.

TEXAS WATER CONSERVATION COMMITTEE Upon motion by Commissioner Wedig, seconded by Commissioner Kabela, and carried, the following resolution concerning the designation q14 ,.{J of the Guadalupe River under the Wild and Scenic River Act of bhe Federal Government. BE IT RESOLVED that the Commissioners Court of Calhoun County, Texas, at its regular meeting on Monday, March II; 1968, on motion duly made and unanimously carried, approved the Resolution adopted by the 24th Annual Meeting of the Texas Water Conservation Association as follows: WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS I The principles and objectives of the "Wild and Scenic Rivers Act", as contained in S, 119, as passed by the U. S. Senate in 1967, seriously infringe upon the long established concept of multiple use of land and water resources by providing that certain areas" including streams, tributaries, or rivers be designated as national wild river areas without sufficient consideration of the valu,= of alternate benefi~ial uses and without sufficient recognition of water rights, The "Wild and Scenic Rivers Act" also proposes to establish "national scenic river areas", some of which include within their boundaries potential water development sites which are essential to the maximum use of our water and related land resources under a multi-pur'pose' concept. The subject of determining the potential future needs of the various reclamation states, including Texas, is now being made by the various states. Therefore, the Texas Water Conservation Association recommends that no legislation be enacted which could authorize the designation of I an area as a wild or scenic river area without first obtaining the approval of the affected states. IT IS DIRECTED that copies of this Resolution be forwarded to Senator Ralph Yarbrough, Senator John Tower and Congressman John Young for their consideration.

COSTS OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS' HEARINGS AND APPRAISAL EXPENSE: Court costs and costs of Specl.al Commissioners '. hearl.ngs . assessed against the State or County in condemnation proceedings conducted on behalf of the State,and fees incident thereto, will be paid by the County. Such costs and fees, with the exception of recording fees, will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement under the established reimbursement procedure provided such costs and fees are eligible for payment by the State under existing State law. Where the County uses the State's appraisers employed on a fee basis in Special Commissioners' hearings or subsequent appeals, the cost of the appraiser of u~ating his report, of preparing new reports, preparing for court test1lllony and appearl.ng in court to testify in support of his appraisal will be paid direct by the County, but will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement under established reimbursement procedure provided prior approval of such appraiser has been obtained from the State. The fee paid the appraiser by the County shall be in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in the appraiser's contract for appraisal services with the State. EXCESS TAKINGS: In the event the County desires to acquire land in excess of that requested by the State for right of way purposes, the State's cost participation will be limited to the property needed for right of way purposes. If the County elects to acquire the entire property, including the excess taking, by a single instrument of con- veyance or in one eminent domain proceeding, the property involved will be acquired in the name of the County and that portion requested by the State for right of way will be conveyed to the State. .

When acquired by condemnation, the State's parti- cipation will be in the proportionate, part of the final judgment amount computed on the baaia~ of the relationShip of the State's approved value to the State's predetermined value for, the whole property. . IMPROVEMENTS: Property owners will be afforded an opportunity in the negotiations to retain any or all of their improvements in the ri~ht of way taking. In anticipation of the owner desiring to retain h1.S improvements, the State's approved value will include the amounts by which the upper limit of State. participation will be reduced for the re- tention. It is further agreed that the upper limit for the State's participation in the County's cost for an improved parcel will be re- duced as shcmn in the State's approved value where the owner retains an improvement which is to be moved by either the County or the owner. In the event the improvements which are, in whole or part, a part of the right of way taking are not retained by the owner, title is to be secured in the name of the State. The State will participate in the acquisition of a structure severed by the right of way line if the part of the house, building or similar structure outside the right of way cannot be reconstructed adequately or there is nothing but salvage left, 254 provided the State's value is established on this basis and provided title to the entire strocture is taken in the' name of the State. The _ State shall dispose of all improvements acquired. The net ~venue deQ rived by, the State from the disposition of any improvements sold through the Board of Control will be credited to the cost of the right of way procured and shared by the County. RELOCATION OF UTILITIES: If the required right of way encroaches !1pon an ex~st~ng ut1l1ty located on its awn right of way and the proposed highway constroction required the adjustment, removal or relocation of the utility facility, the State will establish the necessity for the utility work. State participation in the cost of making the necessary change, less any resulting increase in the value to the utility and less any salvage value obtainable, may be obtai~ed by either the "acplal. cost" or "lAJllIp sum" procedures. ~eimburs~nt u~er "actual cost" wJ.ll be made subsequent to the County's certificatJ.on that the work has been completed and will be made in an amount' equal to 50 per cent of the eligible ite\1ls of cost as paid to the utilityawner'. The "lump sum" procedure requires that the State establish the elig;ibility of the utility work and enter into a t~ee party alP'eement with the owners of the utility facilities and the County whJ.ch sets forth the exact lump sum amount of reimbursement based on a prior apprais:al. The utility will be reimbursed by the County aft~r proper certifica,tion by the utility that the work has been done, said reimbursement to be on the basis pf the prior lump sum agreement. The State will reimburse the County in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the firm commitment as paid to the utility owner. The foregoing is subject to the prclvision that the individual lump sum approved value shall not exceed $2:0,000, except as specifically approved by the State. In those cases "rhere a single operation is estimated to exceed $20,000, the transacticln will be brO\lght to the. attention of the State for determination of J;;roper handling based upon the circumstances involved. Such utility firm - commitment will be an ap~ropriate item of ri~ht of way~ The adjust- ment, removal or relocatJ.on of anY utility hne on ~ublicly Otmed ri~ht of way by sufferance, or permit will not be ehgible for State reunbursement. The term ''utility'' under this contract shall irLclude publicly, privately, and cooperativelr owned utilities. FENCING REqUIREMENTS: The County may either pay'the property clWtler . for h1S eXJ.st1ng rJ.ght of way fences based on the value such fE~nces con- tribute to the part, taken and damages for an unfenc~d condition result- ing from the right of way taking, in which case the estimated value' .of such right of way fences and such damages will be.included in the re- commended value and the approved value, or the County may do the fenc- ing on the property owner's remaining property. Where the company performs right of way fencing as a part of the total right of way consideration, neither the value of existing right of ,,,ay fences nor damages for an unfenced condition will be included :Ln the - recOllllllended',value or the approved value. State participation in the County's cost of constrocting right of way fencing on the propE~rty. ow- ner's remainder may be based either on the' actual cost of the fencin~ or on a predetermined lump sum amount. The State will be given credJ.t for any salvaged fencing material and will not participate in any over- head costs of the county. If State participation is to be requested on the lump sum basil;, the State and the County will reach an agreement prior to the actual ac-rcomplishment of work as to the necessity, eligibility, an~ a firm commitment as to the cost of the entire fencing work to be performed. I I I I t'" ~ o ~ u u I I 255 The foregoing is sUbject to the provision that the lump sum approved cost shall not exceed $20,000, except as specifically approved by the State. In case the fencing is estimated to exceed $20,00'0', the trans- action will be brought to the attention of the State for determination of proper handling based upon the circumstances involved. REIMBURSEMENT: The Stat'e ~il1 reimburse the County for right of way acquJ.red atter the date of this contract in an amount not to exceed 50 per cent of the cost of. the right of way acquired in accordance with the terms and provisions of this agreement. The State's reim- bursement will be in the amount of 50 per cent of the State;s prede- termined value of each ,pat:cel, or the net cost thereof, whichever is the lesser amount. If condemnation is necessary and title is taken as set forth herein under the section headed "Condemnation", the participation by the State shall be based on the final jud~nt, conditioned that the State has been notified in writing prJ.or to the filing of such suit and prompt notice is also given as to all action taken therein. The State shall have the right to become a party to the suit at any time for all, purposes, inCluding the right of, appeal at any stage of the proceedings. All other items of cost shall be borne by the State and the County as provided by other provisions of this agreement. If a lump sum fencing or utility adjustment agreement has been exe- cuted, the State will reimburse the County in the amount of 50 per cent of the predetermined lump sum cost of the 7-"ight of way fencing or utility adjustment. If the County prefers not to execute a lump sum agreement. for either fencing or utility adjustment, the State will reimburse on the actual cost of such, adjustments. The County's request for reimbursement will be supported by a breakdown of the labor, materials and equipment used. GENERAL: It is understood that the terms of this. agreement shall ap- ply to new ri~ht of way authorized and requested by the Texas Highway Department whJ.ch is needed and not yet dedicated, in use, or previously acquired in the name of the State or County for Highway, street or 'road purposes. This agreement shall also apply, as to any existing ,ri~ht of way, to outstanding property interests not previOUSly ac- quJ.red and to eligible utility adjustments not previously made, as authorized and requested by the Texas Highway Department. , . It is understood that this contract shall be effective from and after the date of full execution by the State of Texas. It is further understood that if unusual circumstances develop in the right of way acquisition which are not clearly covered by the terms of this agreement, such unusual circumstances or problems will be re- solved by mutual agreement between the State and the County.

IV. J. ..; Lessee, at its option, is hereby given the right 'and power to pool or combine the acreage covered by this lease or any portion thereof as to oil and gas, or either of them, with any other land covered I by this lease, and/or with any other land, lease or leases in the immediate vicinity thereof to the extend hereinafter stipu- lated, when in Lessee "s judgment it is necessary or advisable to do so in order properly to explore, or to develop and operate said leased premises in compliance wfth the spacing rules of th,e Rail- road Commission of Texas, or other lawful authority, or when to do I t'" ~ o ~ u ~ I I 28~ so would, in the judgment of Lessee, promote the conservation of oil and gas in and under and that may be produced from said pre- mises. Units pooled for oil hereunder shall not substantially exceed 40 acres each in area, and units pooled for gas hereunder shall not substantially exceed in area 640 acres each plus a tolerance of ten percent (10%) thereof. Lessee under the provisions hereof may pool or combine acreage covered by this lease or any portion thereof as above provided as to oil in anyone or more strata and as to gas in anyone or more strata. The units formed by pooling as to any stratum or strata need not conform in size or area with the unit or units into which the lease is pooled or combined as to any other stratum or strata, and oil units need not conform as to area with gas units. The pooling in one or more instances shall not exhaust the rights of the Lessee hereunder to pool this lease or portions thereof into other units. Lessee shall file for record in the appropriate records of the county in which the leased premises are situated an instrument describing and designating the pooled acreage as a pooled unit; and upon such recordation the unit shall be effective as to all parties hereto, their heirs, successors and assigns, irrespective of whether or not the unit is likewise effective as to all other owners of sur- face, mineral, royalty, or other rights in land included in such unit. Lessee may at its election exervise its pooling option be- fore or after commencing operations for or completing an oil or gas well on the leased premises, and the pooled unit may include, but it is not required to include, land or leases upon which a well capable of producing oil or gas in paying quantities has there- tofore been completed or upon which operations for the drilling of a well for oil or gas have theretofore been commenced In the event of operations for drilling on or production of oil or gas from any part of a pooled unit which includes all or a portion of the land covered by this lease, regardless of whether such operations for drilling were commenced or such production as secured b~fore or after the execution of this instrument designa- ting the pooled unit, such operations shall be considered as opera- tions for drilling on or production of oil or gas from land covered by this lease whether or not the well or wells be located on the premises covered by. this lease and in such event operations for drilling ,shall be deemed to have been commenced on said land with- in the meaning of paragraph 5 of this lease; and the entire acreage constituting such unit or units, as to oil and gas, or either of them, as herein provided, shall be treated for all pur- poses, except the payment of royalties on production from the pooled unit, as if the same were included in this lease. For the purpose of computing the royalties to which owners or royalties and payments out of production ,and each of them shall be entitled on production of oil and gas, or either of them, from the pooled unit, there shall be allocated to the land covered by this lease and included in said unit (or to each separate tract within the unit of this lease covers separate tracts within the unit if this lease covers separate tracts within the unit) a pro rate portion of the oil and gas, or either of. them, produced from the pooled unit after deducting that used for operations on the pooled unit. Such allocation shall be on an acreage basis - - that is to say, there shall be allocated to the acreage covered.by this lease and included in the pooled unit (ot to each separate tract within the unit if this lease covers separate tracts within the unit) that pro rate portion of the oil and gas, or either of them, produced from the pooled unit which the number of surface acreas covered by I I j 282 this lease, (or in each such separate tract) and included in the pooled unit bears to the total number of surface acres included :. in the pooled unit. Royalties hereunder shall be computed on the portion of such production, whether it be oil and gas, or either of them, so allocated to the land covered by this lease and in- cluded in the unit,just as though such production were from such land. The production from a oil well will be considered as pro- duction from the lease or oil pooled unit from which it is pro- ducing and not as production from a gas pooled unit; and production I from a gas well will be considered as production from the lease or gas pooled unit from which it is producing and not. from ~on pooled unit. The formation of any unit hereunder shall not have the effect.ofchanging.the ownership of any delay rental or shut- in production royalty which may become payable under this lease. If this lease nor or hereafter covers separate tracts, no pooling or unitization of royalty. interest as between any such separate tracts is. intended or shall be implied or result merely from the inclusion of such separate tracts within this lease but Lessee shall nevertheless have the right to pool as provided above with consequent allocation of production as above provided. As used in this paragraph 4, the words "separate tract" mean any tract with royalty ownership differing, now or hereafter, either as to parties or amounts, from that as to any other part of the leased premises. v, , If operations for drill ing are not commenced on said land OJ:' on acreage pooled therewith as above provided on or before one year, from this date, the lease shall then terminate as to both parties, unless on or before such anniversary date Lessee shall payor tender (or shall make a bona fide attempt to payor tender, as I hereinafter stated) to Lessor or to the credit of Lessor in First National Bank at Port Lavaca, Calhoun County, Texas, (which bank and its successors are Lessor's agent and shall continue as the depository for all rentals payable hereunder regardless of changes in ownership of.said land or,the rentals) the sum of Thirty-four and 56/100 Dollars ($34.56) (herein called rentals), which shall cover the privilege of deferring commencement of drilling opera- tions for a period of twelve (12) months; In like manner and upon like payments or tenders annually, the commencement of drilling operations may be further deferred for successive periods of twelve (12) months each during the primary term. The payment or tender of rental under.this paragraph and of royalty under paragraph 3 on any gas well from which gas is not being sold or used may be made by the check or draft of Lessee mailed or delivered to the parties entitled thereto or to said bank on or before' the date of payment. If such bank ( or any successor bank) should fail, liquidate or be succeeded by another bank or for any reason fail or refuse to ac- cept rental, Lessee shall not be held in default for failure to make such payment or tender of rental until thirty (30) days after Lessor shall deliver to Lessee a proper:recordable instrument naming another bank as agent to receive such payments or tenders. I If Lessee shall on or before any anniversary date, make a bona fide .attempt to payor deposit rental to a Lessor entitled thereto according to Lessee's records or to a Lessor, who, prior to such attempted payment or deposit, has given Lessee notice, in accord- ance with subsequent provisions of this Lease, of his right to receive rental, and if such payment or deposit shall be ineffective or erroneous in any regard, Lessee shall be unconditionally obliga- ted to pay to such Lessor the rental properly payable for the rental period involved, and this lease shall not terminate but shall be maintained in the same manner as if such erroneous or I t'" ~ o '!t U U I I 28~ ineffective rental payment or deposit has been property made,' pro- vided that the erroneous or ineffective rental payment or deposit be corrected within 30 days after receipt by Lessee of written notice from such Lessor of such error accompanied by such instru- ments as are necessary to enable Lessee to make proper payment. The down cash payment is consideration for this lease according to its terms and shall not be allocated as a mere rental for a period. Lessee may at any time or times execute, and deliver: to Lessor or to the depository above named or place of r,ecord a release or re- leases of this lease as to all or any part of the above-described premises, or of any mineral o~ horizon under all or any part there- of, and thereby be relieved of all obligations as to the released land or interest. If this lease is released as to all minerals and horizons under a portion of the land covered by this lease, the rentals and other payments computed in accordance therewith shall thereupon be reduced in the proportion that. the number of surface areas within such released portion bears to the total num- ber of surface areas which was covered by this lease immediately prior to such release. VI. If prior to discovery and production of oil, gas or other mineral on said land or on acreage pooled therewith, Lessee should drill a dry hole or holes thereon, or .if after discovery and produc tion of oil, gas or other mineral, the production thereof should cease from any cause, this lease shall not terminate if Lessee commences operations for drilling or reworking within sixty (60) days thereafter or if it be within the primary term, commences or resumed the payment or tender of rentals or commences operations for drilling or reworking on or before the rental paying date next ensuing after the expiration of sixty days from date of completion of dry hole or cessation of production. If at any time subsequent to sixty (60) days prior .to the beginning of the last year of the primary term and prior to the discovery of oil" gas or other mineral on said land, or on acreage pooled therewith, Lessee should drill a dry hole thereon, no rental payment 'or oper,ations are necessary in order to keep the lease in force during the remainder of the primary term. If at the expiration of the primary term, oil, gas or other mineral is not being produced on sa.id .land, or on acreage pooled therewith, but Lessee is then engaged in drilling or reworking operations thereon: or shall have completed a dry hole thereon within sixty (60) days prior to the end of the primary term, the lease shall remain in force so long as operations on said well,or for drilling or reworking of any additional well are prosecuted with no cessation of more than sixty (60) consecutive days and if they result in the production of oil, gas or other mineral, so. long thereafter as oil, gas and other mineral is pro- duced from said land or acreage pooled therewith. Any pooled unit designated by Lessee by instrument filed for record in the appro- priate records,of the county in which the leased premises are situated at any time after the completion of a dry hole or the cessation of production on said unit. In the event a well or wells produc- ing oil or gas in paying quantities should be brought in on adja- cent land and within three hundred thirty (330) feet of and drain- ing the leased premises, or acreage pooled therewith, Lessee agrees to drill such offset wells as a reasonably prudent operation would drill under the same or similar circumstances. ~"'-~ j 284 VII. Lessee shall have the right within six (6) months after the expiration of this lease to remove all property and fixtures placed by Lessee on said land, including th" right to draw and remove all ca sing. When required by Lessor, Lessee will buy all pipe lines below ordinary plow depth, and no well shall be drilled within two hundred (200) feet of any residence or barn now on said land with- out Lessor's consent. VIII. LESSEE hereby warrants, agrees and obligates himself and his heirs, successors and assigns to pay for any and all damages to the surface of. said property herein leased caused by him or his assigns. LESSEE further agrees that it is his express res- ponsibility and obligation that upon termination of any drilling on any part of the above described land herein leased, that he is to restore said property to its natural condition and repair any and all roads, fences and ditches that may have been damaged by LESSEE and/or his assigns; and that the assignment of this Lease or any part thereof shall not release LESSEE of his responsibility there in. . IX. LESSEE further agrees that any water well that may be drilled upon the above mentioned premises shall remain after the termination of this lease and become the property of Calhoun County, Texas. x. The rights of either party hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part, and the provisions hereof shall extend to their heirs, successors and assigns; but no change or division in ownership of the land, rentals or royalties, however accomplished, shall operate to enlarge the obligations or diminish the rights of Lessee; and no change or division in such ownership shall be binding on Lessee until thirty (30) days after Lessee shall have been furnished by registered U. S. mail at Lessee's principal place of business with a certified copy of recorded instrument or ~nstruments evidencing same. In the' event of assignment hereof in whole or in part, 1 ia- bility for breach of any obligation hereunder shall. rest exclusive- ly upon the owner of this lease or of a portion thereof who commits such breach. In the event of the death of any person entitled to rentals hereunder. Lessee may payor tender such rentals to the credit of the deceased or the estate of the deceased until such time as Lessee is furnished with proper evidence of the appoint- ment and qualification of an executor or administrator of the estate, or if there be none, then until Lessee is furnished with evidence satisfactory to it as to the heirs or devisees of the deceased and that all debts of the estate have been paid. If at any time two or more persons be entitled to participate in the rental payable hereunder, Lessee may payor. tender, said rental jointly to such persons or to their joint credit in the depository named herein; or, at Lessee's election, the proportionate part of I o I I I t'" ~ o ~ o u I I 285 said rentals to, which each participant is entitled may be paid or tendered to him separately or to his separate credit in said depository; and payment of tender. to any participant of his portion of the rentals hereunder shall maintain this lease as to such participant. In event of assignment of this lease as to a segre- gated portion of said land, the rentals payable hereunder shall be apportionable as between the several leasehold owners ratable according to the surface area of each, and default in rental pay- ment by one shall not affect the rights of other leasehold owners hereunder. If six or more parties become entitled to royalty hereunder, Les~ee may withhold, payment thereof unless and until furnished with a recordable instrument executed by all such parties designating ~n agent to receive payment for all. XI. The breach by Lessee of any obligation arising thereunder shall not work a forfeiture or termination of this lease nor cause a termination or reversion of tpe estate created hereby nor be grounds for cancellation hereof in whole or in part. In the event Lessor considers that operations are not at any time being conducted in compliance with this lease, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of the facts relied, upon as constituting a breach hereof, and Lessee, if in default, shall have sixty days after receipt of such notice in which to commence the compliance with the obliga- tions imposed by virtue of this instrument. After.,the discovery of oil, gas or other mineral in paying quantities on said premises, Lessee shall develop. the acreage retained hereunder as a reasonably prudent operator, ,but in discharging this obligation it shall in no event be required.,to drill more than one well per forty (40) acres of the area retained hereunder and capable of producing oil in paying quantities and one,well per 640 acres plus an acreage tolerance not to exceed 10% of 640 acres of the area retained here- under and capable of producing gas or other mineral in paying quantities. XII. Lessor hereby warrants and agrees to defend. the title to said land and agrees, that Lessee at its option may discharge any tax, mortgage or other lien upon said land, either in ,whole or in part, and in eventoLessee does so, it shall be subrogated to such lien with right to enforce same and apply rentals and royalties accruing hereunder toward satisfying same. Without impairment of Lessee's rights under the warranty in event of failure of title, it is agreed that if this lease covers a less interest in the oil, gas sulphur and other minerals in all or any part of said, land then the entire and undivided fee simple estate (whether Lessor's interest is herein specified or' not), or no interest therein, then the royalties, delay rental and other monies accruing from any part as to which this lease covers less than such full interest, shall be paid only in the proportion which the interest therein, if any, covered by this lease, bears to the whole and undivided fee simple estate there- in. All royalty interest covered by this lease (whether or not , , 286 owned by Lessor) shall be paid out of the royalty herein provided. Should anyone or more of the parties names above as Lessors fail to execute this lease, it shall nevertheless be binding upon the party or parties executing the same. Failure of' Lessee to reduce rental paid hereunder shall not impair the right of Lessee to reduce royalties. XIII. I Should Lessee be prevented from complying with any express or implied covenant of this lease, from conducting drilling or reworking operations thereon or from producing oil or gas there- from by reason of scarcity of or inability to obtain or to use equipment or material, or by operation of force majeure, and Fed- eral or State law of any order" rule or regulation of governmental authority, then while so prevented, Lessee's obligation to comply wIth such covenant shall be suspended, and Lessee' shall not be liable in damages for failure to comply therewith; and this lease shall be extended while and so long as Lessee is prevented by any such cause from conducting drilling or reworking operations on or from producing oil or gas from the leased premises; and the time while Lessee is so prevented shall not be counted against Lessee, anything in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding.

'. r '. SANITATION SURVEY - SEADRIFT " PRECINCT NO~ '4 .~, . .... '., '.1.'.. '.__ '. ~~~;"' " Mr. Clayton Toalson reportedoto the Court on sanitatiort':surVey made in Seadrift. Sanitary Survey Seadrift, Texas June 26, 1968 By: Clayton E. Toalson, R. S. I GENERAL SITUATION: The City of Seadrift received an estimated thirty inches of rainfall during a seven day period from June 17th to June 23, 1968. A major portion of the precipitation was attributed to the impasse of tropi- cal storm'ICandy".. Public Water Supply: There was no observed damage to the wells, pumps, storage tanks, or distribution system. The water system, which is supervised by a licensed operator, has provided uninterrupted service.- Chloring residuals have been maintained, and the supply is considered to be of acceptable bacteriological quality. Garbage Collection and Disposal: The city provides.a garbage and refuse collection ,service, afford- ing tw~ce weekly pick-ups to homes and businesses~ The waste is transported to a disposal area which is located approximately four -miles South East of the city. Disposit.ion is by the open trench method. I I t'" ~ o ~ u f..) I I 280 Qn the date of inspection, approximately one-half ~ile of the dis- _posql site access road was under six to eight inches of water. The open trench was flooded, as was the general area of the dump site. Ga~bage was observed floating freely over several acres. The confines of the trench were not discerable due to the general flood; ing conditions. Evidence of dumping was noted along. both sides of the access road. The expected propagation of flies, mosquitos, and other diseaseDvectors will post a prob~em of public health sig- nificance. Sewa~e Disposal Service: The city recently completed the construction of a sewage treatment plant,.and also expanded and improved its collection system. Engineer- ing data relative to the new plant capacity was not readily accessable, however, it was estimated the system was of sufficient size to ac- comodate a normal daily flow of approximately 300,000 gallons. At the time of inspection, it was,judgement of the author that the flow through the plant exceeded one'and one-half million gallons per twenty four hours. Considering that the average daily water consumption of the City of Seadrift approximates 70,000 gallons per day, it was reasoned that the plant was receiving"in excess of twenty gallons of infiltrate for each gallon of domestic'sewage~ Effluent discharge is into San Ant.on:;i:oc.Bay:..~..:..-.., '",1";,,,- ..''',,:.' '. "')':.' It was noted that minor damage had occurred at the treatment plant. A mercury switch, whicq serv~s to ~ctuate one of the essential pumps, was knocked out of,service, presumably by lightening. The affected pump was being actuated.manually, and there was no serious impair- ment to the service. Repair cost was calculated at less .than.$lOO.OO. One lift station, serving the junior high school and two occupied dwel- lings, was out of service. It may be presumed that the non-submersible pump was short-circuited due to flooding. Since school is in recess, the disrupted service affects two families only. Expediant repairs to the disabledstation is in the bes~, interest of public health. Repairs were estimated at less than $300.00. Possible damage to the undergroUnd, s,ys't:e,m 'cou,ld, "obv::,iQusly,.:not, be de- termined, however, it is reasoned that symptoms suggestive of damage may become manifest within the next several days. Drainage: The City of Seadrift receives much of the surface run off from the water sheds to the North West, North and North East of town. The discharge is channeled into San Antonio Bay through its bayous. The greater amount of run-off from the city proper is also channeled through the bayous and into the bay. It was observed that the bayou was choked with vegetation, slowing the flow of run-off. It was further noted that undersized conduits and improperly positioned conduits located under the streets and bridges., cpnt;r-ibuted further to th~ impedance of. flow. Street side ditches were nearly brimful, and receding slowly~ It is reasoned . that much of the water in those ditches will infiltrate into the sanitary sewer collection system. Numerous premised were under several inches of water. - Conclusion: Floo!iing conditions created by tropical storm lCa!1dy" caused no damage to the water system, and apparently only slight damage to the sanitary 290 - sewer systems. Proper garbage disposal was rendered impossible. The inadequacy ,of the drainage system has been made apparent. Ex- tensive propagation of flies and mosquitoes is anticipated. There have been hooknown':eut-breaks of communicable diseases. There is - no justification:for mass typhoid' immunization or other large'scale prophalaxis. No effort was made to determine the,extent of damage to buildings, streets or bridges. I INDIGENTS - OTILLIA AND ROBERTO BALBOA ., . ~ ~! .

MOSQUITO CONTROL Mr. Peeler presented a report on the Mosquito Control District to November 6:, 1968. TO: ADVISORY BOARD,. CALHOUN COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL DIS:rRICT FROM: J. A. PEELER SUBJECT: REVIEW OF 1968 OPERATION AND 1969 PROGRAM Beulah last fall, a wet winter and that ~bpped off by Candy gave us a wet first half of the year. Mosquito infestation was moderate to rather heavy till May first, very heavy toJu1y 10th. and light to moderate for the balance of the year. During the period of heavy infestation (May 1 to July 10th we averaged 65~ man hours a week night work dusting and spl1aying, for' the balance of the year we have averaged less than 5 man hours a week night dusting and spraying and fogging. Telephone complaints are an excellent barometer indicating the density of mosquitoes population and the condition is attested by the fact we have had no telephone complaints since July 10. ADULTICIDING - Ground operations directed against' adult mosquitoes constituted probably one third of.our operations. . Work was carried -out as weather permitted, varying from. early evening to the'midd1e of the following morning. During these times the best relations exist- ed between air and ground temperature. This permitted the dust or fog to settle down and prohibited "peaking". Wind conditions were more settled and traffic hazards lessened during these hours. B.H.C. and Dibrom 14 were principally used in the adult program. LARVICIDING - Larviciding is a form of control that is much more effective and economical in achieving comfort control than adu1ti- ciding. It is my sound judgement that whatever measure of success you wish to give mosquito contro~lthis:year by far the greatest factor in. achieving that success has been the 1arviciding program. INSECTICIDE - The following insecticide was bought this Diesel fuel for ~oggers Addative B.. H. C. Dust Malathion dust Spec ia 1 Larvacide chemicals year: $1,599.62 145.86 2,321.60 913.00 66.61 783.25 $5,829.94 1,972.00 $7,801. 94 Dibrom, '14' from stock 80G ,. 344 LABOR - As of Friday night, November 1, 1968 we have used the following labor: Man hours day time,'3,255 hours costi.ng $4,371.63 Man hours night, 565>" hours 'costing $849'.51 Total Hours, 3820>" costing $5,221.14 Night labor did dust'ing and- fogging only.' Day time labor performed the following:' . Kept up plant, repaired equipment, did 1arviciding, sprayed dumps, mixed insecticide and got equipment ready for night, treated hot spots and special events as (picnics, barbecues, ball games, fair and rodeos) I 19.68 BUDGET - We started the year with a budget of $21',765'.00 'and' with labor paid through November 1, 1968 and all bills paid we have $2,658.24. From this amount we will have the following: J. A. Peeler $ 270.00 3.-A. Pee~er, truck allowance 125.00 Nov. 8th pay roll 120.00 Nov. 15,22, and 29 pay roll 180.00 J. A. Peeler, December 270.00 1 man 3 weeks 180.00 $1,145.00 . $ 1,.513.24 , " We should also buy an adding machipe and a typewriter that will cost about'$300.00.' This.will leave about $1,200.00'for operation the balance of the year. SCHEDULE FOR BALANCE OF 1968 - for the balance of this year the only I planned activity will be 1a,rviciding and repair and paint equipment. Of course should hot spots occur they will be treated. The.work force will be reduced one man after this week. . 1969 BUDGET - The Commissioners Court has set $26,692.00 for Mos- quito Control for 1969 and instructed me to prepare a budget for that amount and file. ,Before filing I am' submitting' it to the Advisary Board for study and modification as they see fit, respectively sub- mitted: - BODE NO. ;3791 02 03 05 06 09 '11 13 14 18 19 21- 2? 2? -39 5? 59 10;i DESCRIPTION' Director's Salary 'Regu1ar Employees Hourly Employees Office Supplies Telephone Office, Warehouse' Equipment, Out of County travel- Workmen's Compensation- Employees Hospital Insurance Oil and, Gas Repair and Maintenance Vehicle Insurance Car Allowance Sundry Ut ilities Tools Petty Cash Insecticide AMOUNT :$ 4,800.00 6,900.00 1,580.00 200.00 250.00 ,300.00 200.00 170.00 290.00 '1,500.00 1,500.00 300.00 1,200.00 127~00 '200.00 1.50.00 25.00 7,000.00 I (s) J.

INDIGENT - MIKE PADRON October 30, 1968 TO: County Judge, Commi~sioner's Court Mike Padron, 57 year old Calhoun County resident, has been under treatment (cancer) at the M. D. Anderson Hospital, Houston. We were advised he will not be released from out-patient care for . several weeks. The family's only income at present is provided by a 21 year old daughter, who just started working at the Dairy Queen. The family has 4 children pr~sent1y enrolled in school. Following pis release from the hospital, Mr. Padron will receive training through Vocational Rehabilitation. It is obvious that the family financial needs will be considerably in excess of their in- come during the next few months. Since it is not likely that Mr. padron's incapacitation will not exceed a 6 month period, State Welfare bene- fits will not be made available. (the foregoing based on information provided by the sod,ial caseworker ~t M. D. Anderson Hospital). In consideration of the family's immediate financial difficulties, it is recommended that the Court favorably consider~financia1 assist- ance to the family. It is been suggested that Mrs. Padron approach the Court on the morning of November 12, to make her requirements known. On October 30, NEED provided an emergency $15.00 grocery purchase.

TEXAS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT - RESOLUTION Motion by Commissioner Kabela, seconded by Commissioner Wedig, and unanimously carried, that the Commissioners I Court do hereby go on record in favor of and in complete support of the follmving Resolution by the Texas Highway Department and do hereby adopt it as their own and order copies of this order to forward to all appropriate governmental agencies and governmental legislators for this county. RES 0 L UTI 0 N WHEREAS, the Texas Highway Department has, for more 'than '50 years, coordinated with 'all city, county and other interested groups in the location and design of highways in order to provide a highway transportation system commensurate with the needs of the public as well as the requirements for safe and efficient operation of traffic within the State of Texas; and WHEREAS, the Texas Highway Commission, acting in its official capa- city as the policy making arm of the Texas Highway Department has encouraged the appearance before the Commission by inter.estcitizens, groups, and other local officials, to discuss and explore fully transportation problems and needs in the various cities, counties and communities of the State of Texas; and WHEREAS, the Texas Highway Department and the Texas Highway Commis- sion have enjoyed the confidence and trust of the people of Texas insofar as highway design, construction, location and the maintenance are concerned, with all of the Department1s endeavors directed to- ward the development ofa Highway System which would be a source of pride to all citizens of the State, and at the same time meet the economic, social and environmental needs of the people of Texas, regardless of social standing; and WHEREAS, the Federal Department of Transportation has heretofore, by directives dated October 13, 1967 and March 15, 1968, proposed various regulations relating to the determination of highway routes and locations, together with multitudinous requirements by which 350 Public Hearings regarding such highway planning would be governed; and WHEREAS, the Te~as Highway Department formally advised,the Federal Highway Administrator, in letters dated, ,respectively, November 10, 1967 and April 18, 1968, that such regulations and requirements, as proposed therein, wer~ entirely unacceptable; and I WHEREAS, the Federal Department of Transportation, acting through the Federal Highway Administrator, has now ,promulgated through introduction into the Federal Register, the establishment of a new Part 3 to Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which are offered in the guise of permitting the citizens of Texas greater opportunity to express their wishes as concerns highway matters, but which would,. in reality, eliminate the prerogative of the Texaf? Highway ,CQmmissionin ,exercising its authority con- cerning the location, design and construction of highways; and WHEREAS, the proposed regulations promulgated by the Federal De- partment of Transportation would destroy the orderly process of highway planning, design and construction within the State of Texas because: (1) The rules, policies and.procedures of Part 3.to Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regu1atilons subvert the rights of the States and the State Highway Commission to make decisions concerning high- way projects. (2), The adding of the rules, policies and procedures to the Federal Register will encourage litigation to resolve controversial matters brought out at Public Hearings. (3) The specific provision for appeal to the Federal Highway Administrator will result in one individual being required to pass judgment on every controversial highway problem in the United States. This will further compound existing delays in providing relief for the serious Nationwide traffic problems. I (4) Unnecessary additional delays will be experienced due to the sequential development required for any project from the in- ception stage, through des~gn approval;. and WHEREAS, existing State laws of Texas already adequately provide for the public hearing proces~ relating to highway projects, the rules regulations, policies and procedures development and followed in compliance with these State laws have afforded full opportunity for effective participation in the consideration of highway location and design proposals; and , ' WHEREAS, the proposed new regulations ~ould subordinate the well pro- ven professional knowledge and experience of competent highway en- gineers and officials to the whims of any ,one individual, group or special interest; and WHEREAS, since the major portion of the cost of highway expenditures in Texas is borne by the State and local governments, the new re- I gulations ~ould result in these funds being encumbered by rules which are not .palatable to any but the Department of Transportation; , , therefore, " ; Jl I too ~ o ~ Q U I I 351 BE IT RESOLVED the Texas Highway Commission hereby recommends and further insists that the proposed regulations suggested for insertion into the Federal Register by the Federal Department of Transportation be set aside and instead that a review of any necessary additions and/or revisions in the present public hearing,process be studied by the American Association of State Highway Officials, which group is more eminently qualified to judge conditions which should or should not be established insofar as highway planning is concerned. Any modification or revisions deemed appropriate by the American Associa- tion of State Highway Officials should then be adopted by the member- States rather than through or by the processes of Federal Rules and Regulations; ana ' BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that if such rules and regulations are imposed upon this State, the Texas Highway Commission will request such hearings as necessary to personally present its case before the ap- propriate Congressional Committee" or Committe,es; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that if the Federal Highway Administrator persists in the promulgation of these new rules and regulations, and they are not subsequently set aside by appropriate Congressional actions, the Texas Highway Commission will then exeraise its full influence toward the abolishment of all Federal Highway User Taxes in order that such taxation can subsequently be assumed by the States for the construction of highway facilities which would meet the specific desires and needs of each individual State and its people.

Barton County Judge, Calhoun County 211 S. Ann St. Port Lavaca, Texas 77979 Dear Judge Barton: A review of the development provided for under the Grant Agreement for the subject project indicates that all items of development with the exception of the adoption of a Zoning Ordinance was accomplished by the County in accordance with approved Plans and Specifications. The review of correspondence and minutes of several meetings with officials to adopt the Zoning Ordinance for various reasons. It was further .noted,. after having been advised that failure to adopt the I ordi~ance,would be c,ause to 'forfeit the,balance remaining to be'. paid under the Grant Ag:ee~ent, you advised by'letter dated Aug~st 14, 1968, that the Comm~ss~onerst Court preferred to lose the f~nal payment rather than adopt the Zoning Ordinance. ' Since the obligation to adopt the ordinance is a contractual pro- vision, accepted and agreed upon by the County, failure to adopt the ordinance will preyent the County from receiving further federal aid for airport development. In this day and time of ra- pid growth in the field of av.iation and the cost of such develop-' ment cannot be predicated. To jeopardize the receipt of funds for such development without a logical reason therefor cannot be ex- plained. _l I l:'e oo:tI ':l ~ Q [..) I I ~ 3'5.7 A review of the model ordinance and the liberal height requirements will readily show such ordinance will not restrict the normal use and development of the land or areas covered thereby but will pro- tect the approaches of your airport for safe operations and future growth. You will note the height restriction is 150 feet above the airport elevation for a distance of 7000 feet around the airport with the exception of the approaches off the ends of the runways. You have purchased easements to protect the approaches out to a height of 50 feet above the ground elevation. At this point the Zoning Ordinance would take over and protect the approaches upward and outward at a slope of 40 to 1, that is, for each 40 feet upward and outward, a landowner would be allowed another one foot for building purposes without restrictions. At a distance of 4000 feet from the runway end within the approaches, an owner could erect a structure 100 feet in height without restrictions. You will further note in the model ordinance a provision for the granting of exceptions to the restrictions by the Zoning Board. This provision allows ample latitude for the Board to approve development within the zoned area in order to prevent the stifling of free enterprise or restrict the economic growth of the area. We would be remiss in our duty if we failed to call these simple facts to your attention. Again we urge you and the members of the Commissioner1s Court to reconsider your position with regard to adopting the Zoning Ordinance. In the event the citizens in the vicinity of the aipport and the Commissioner's Court are still of the opinion a Zoning Ordinance should not be adopted and wish to forfeit the County's right to future federal aid for airport development, in view of the fact that all development under the Grant Agreement for the subject pro- ject was accomplished in accordance with approved Plans and Speci- fications, this agency can consider the payment of the balance due under the Grant Agreement including a 10 percent increase to cover allowable costs. This consideration will be given upon the receipt of a resolution from the Commissioner1s Court setting forth the reasons why the Court cannot and will not adopt the Zoning Ordinance. The total amount which can be considered for payment is $30,054.03. Your early consideration to this matter would be -appreciated. SincereLy, (s( William N. Dale Chief, Airports Branch, HOU-600 The Court discussed the zoning matter in the foregoing letter. The Court agreed to investigate the matter thoroughly. Whereupon, the County Judge advised that he would notify the Agency that the Court is reconsidering the matter and would advise them of the Court's decision as a result of their study.

I Mr. Holmes stated that Matagorda County was doing the same thing and it served as a precedent for the three league limit extension. A general discussion of the matter ensued with reference to the General Land Office maps.

J I r-- ~ o ~ u u I I i... 359 It was stated that a description of the metes and bounds for ex- tending the county line to include the three league limits was possibly needed. It was pointed out that possibly the only des- cription needed was the State Block numbers reference and this could be obtained from the General Land Office maps. All agreed that the steps necessary to effect the extension of the county boundary lines are: .1. Secure a legal description of the area involved. 2. Meet with our Senator and Representative to prepare a bill for submission to the State Legislature for the purpose of validating the boundaries.

DELINQUENT TAX ATTORNEY CONTRACT MOtion by Commissioner Wedig, seconded by Commissioner Kabe1a, and carried, that the following order be entered. 384 W A I V E R STATE OF TEXAS x X X , COUNTY OF CALHOUN I, the undersigned County Attorney of Calhoun County, Texas, do I hereby acknowledge that the Commissioners' Court of the said County has notified me to file suit for the collection of de- linquent taxes in said county; however, due to the fact that it would be physically impossible for me to personally file and handle such suits, and at the same time to properly discharge the other duties of my office, and to the further fact that' the - . statutes do not provide adequate compensation for a ,County At-. torney to file and. to prose6ute suits for delinquent taxes, but do make apequate provisions for other attorneys to handle the same, I.do hereby decline to file such suits and do hereby waive the thirty days written notice provided in Article 7335, Revised Civil Statutes, and do hereby agree that the Commissioners' Court of said Coun~y may ,contratt'.wibh some other competent attorney to enforce or assist in the enforcement of the collection of delin- quent State and County Taxes. Witness my hand this, the 13th day of January, A. D. 1969. ' (s)William. W. Day County Attorney Term Expires Calhoun County, Texas 19 I STATE OF TEXAS X X COUNTY OF CALHOUN X I, Maurice G. Wood, County Clerk of Calhoun County, Texas, do hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of a certain waiver executed by William W. Day, County Attorney, of Calhoun County, as the same appears of record in Volume P, Page 383, of the minutes of the Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County, Texas. Given under my hand and seal of office this 15th day of January, 1969. (seal) . (s) ,Maur ice G. Wood County Clerk Calhoun County, Texas OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS INSTRUCTIONS NECESSARY FOR MAKING DELINQUENT TAX CONTRACTS' . .... ~. 1 i I r- ~ o ~ u u I I , k 38,) BNIFORMITY OF MOST IMPORTANCE All contracts for the collection of delinquent state and county taxes should be uniform in make-up and executed in triplicate; or in quadruplicate if fourth copy is desired. The Comptroller's Depart- ment keeps a memeographed supply of the form of contract prepared under the direction of the Attorney General and the Comptroller, and counties desiring to enter into such contracts are requested not to present typewritten copies for approval, but to secure and use mimeo- graphed copies of our latest revised form which will be furnished from this office. It is only after the Commissioners Court has given thirty (30) days written notice to the County Attorney, or to the District Attorney in case there is no County Attorney in the county, to file delinquent tax suits, and the failure of said' Attorney to do so within said period, that the Court has authority to enter into a contract pertain- ing to the collection of delinquent taxes, unless the County or Dis- trict Attorney, as the case may be, should waive his right to the thirty days notice. This same procedure is required to be carried out in case of any extension or renewal prolonging the contract. If a waiver is given; a contract may be entered into without awaiting the thirty day period. In case 'the Attorney is not in a position to com- ply with the Court:s order, and fails or refuses to file written waiver and a contract is entered into after the expiration of thirty days, a certified copy of the order of the Commissioners Court directing the County Attorney to bring suit, together with 'a certified copy of a subsequent order of said Court showing that the County Attorney had failed or refused to comply with the CourtJs former order, should accompany the contract when sent for approval. Condition No.1, or No. 2J in the first paragraph of the contract should be struck out, according to whether waiver is, or is not, given. The state officials much'prefer a waiver,. for the reason it indicates cooperation and harmony among the county officials, which is essential to obtain best results. A form of waiver and of resolution and order has been prepared for , the convenience of the County Attorney and the Commissioners Court, respectively. Two copies of these forms will be furnished with the contract forms; one of each when completed to be kept for the Com- missioners Court file, and the others may be used by the County Clerk in writing certified copies to be sent to this Department.

HOME ECONOMICS - 1968 , This was a good year for the Home Economics Extension work in Calhoun County, but as always, many mistakes were made, and th~re is always room for much improvement. The Family Living Committee played an important part in planning and carrying out educational programs for various audiences throughout the county. Home Demonstratioq clubs and HD Council members and officers worked very closely with this committee in planning programs to meet the needs of the women in all areas' of the county, but as in all phases of work, there are weaknesses as well as strength. Weaknesses in the county program of work for the past y,ear included lack of work with low-income group; lack of in-depth programs, failure of some committee members in carrying out job responsibilities; lack of involvement of committee members and resource people in.presenting programs; lack of advance planning; lack of attendance at some of the events and acti- vities. . . Home Economics Focus played an impo~tant part in helping the agent and committees decide areas of concern and audiences to be reached. The target audience this past year seemed to be the young Qomemaker. Progra.ms were conducted in consumer competence, family stability, family health, and community-resource development. . Methods of teach- ing inclu,ded workshops, short courses, one.-day meetings, demonstrations, mass medfa through radio programs, news articles and. letters.- Approxi- mately 1,000 to 2,000 women were reached with home economic 'informa- tion through one or more of the above teaching methods. All areas of club officers and committee chairmen received training so that they could better fulfill their job responsibilities. State THDA recommendations were carr.ied out through the ~ollowing committees: . A. Health and Safety - county wide me~ting on venereal disease and talks on proper storage of drugs. B. Catizenship - county wide meeting with Representative R. H. Cory of Victoria on amendments .to bEO: voted on. C. "4-H - ,members presented talks to H.D. Clubs on 4-H work and demonstrations in foods and clothing. D. Family Life - county wide program on family life in Japan. , . There wa.s also representation of county club women at the District, State and National THDA meetings. 432 Club women also worked with PTA's, Council for Retarded Children, Senior Citizens, 4-H and other youth work, churches, garden clubs, and county officials in a beautification project. Adult 4-H clothing and foods leaders and junior leaders 'received training to better prepare them as project group leaders. The two main home economics projects were foods and c'lothing, but girls I have indicated an interest in home improvement and money'management for 1969. Awards for their accomplishments were received at the county food show, district food show, county dress review, district dress review and state dress review and "achievement night. County food and clothing accessory workshops were held for the girls and leaders. . , 4-H REPORT Hcirse Club Activities - The Calhoun County 4-H Horse Club had an enrollment of 45 members this past ye'ar. Many of these 4-H'.ers were also active in the strong county Youth Rodeo Association and many of 'them,are affiliated with the Texas Youth Rodeo Association, which involves most of.the Gulf Coast' Region arid a large number of counties in other parts of South Texas. Many of the adult leaders work jointly with all,of these organizations, and there is setdom a spring afte'rnoon when boys ,and girls arid adult leaders are unable to use county'facili- ties to work their horses. The 4-H Club sponsored films and held its regular monthly meetings each fourth Monday night through the beginning of the summer. In 11ay, the I club sponsored a trail ride with some 46 4-H members and adults riding .and several more following in cars at the front and rear of the pro- cession. The big event for the 4-H Horse Club was the annual horse show'held to decide ,the right to attent the District contest. Tro'- phies were awarded by the 4-H Council'to the Champion Halter animal, 1st, place Western Pleasure Horse, 1st place ,Reining Horse, Ch11mpion Barrel Racer and Champion Pole Bender. Each first place winner auto- .' matically was elected to attend the district meet, and others ~lere chosen on a .total points system which awarded six through 1 point for the first six places in each class. Five 4-H'ers" represented the 'county in the district contest in Luling. At this contest, Calhoun was 7th in total points in a total of 18 counties. One member won the right to attend the state contest in the pole bending event. The final 4-H Horse event of the year in which county 4-H'ers parti- ,cipated' was the Seguin All-performance show spbnsore'd ih connection with the Guadalupe County Fair. Clayton Zwerschke placed first in' the Figure 8 barrel race, 2nd in break-away roping, and teamed with his sister Gayln to 'win .first place in ribbon roping. .. Janine' Rau won first place in Western Pleasu~e and Leslie Boyd won 6th place in I figure 8 barrel racing. Tractor Program - The 4-H Tractor program was initiated for the first ~ime in August and has received very enthusiastic response. About 20 4-H'ers and five adult leaders have participated regularly in monthly meetings called and organized by the Assistant County Agent. I ~ ~ o ~ Q U I I 433 An esp~cially goqd turn has:been don~this group by Mr. Tommy Roberts of the Gulf Truck and Tractor Company here in Port Lavaca. Mr. Roberts has no children in 4-H, but has given freely of his own time and equipment for each session of our program. Electric'Program - During April, a two night electric workshop was conducted at the County Agricultural Building. Sponsor of the work- shop was ,Central ~ower and Ltght ComRany and ~hey furnished the in- structor~. The ftrst evening was de~oted to a lecture which included an explaqation of ,the functiqn'of a ~hree-prongeqextension co~d and some basic definitions dealing with electrical appliances. On the last eveqing, a $~.OO fee wa~ chargeq and CP&L furnished the'materials necessary, for con~truction o~ a 25 fqot three-pronged extension cord, and a co~d was coqstructed by' each m~mber. The wqrkshQP was a~tended by 19 members and two adult leaders. A follow-up program was held during the annual 4-H summer camp held in June. Wildlife Program - We have one strong 4-H Wildltfe leader who has been active in carrying out a ~ery good program. The basis of his program is a monthly meeting with films and project progress .reports. Films that his group reviewed this year were "Wildlife and the Human Touch", "Realm of the Wild", "Gunning the Flyways", "Behind the Flyways'~, "Patterns of the Wild" "Woodland Manners" "Know Your Ducks" "We , , , ~ Share This Land", and "Trail of the White-Tailecj Deer". Field Crop ~ogram - Six 4-H members en~ered a county grain sorghum production contest and four of these members completed at least a portion of the program. However, only ODe ~ember completed the en- tire program and was awarded ~he first place ribbon. In spite of this, the program was well received and will be continued. The major reason most of the members were unable to complete their program was the weather. Livestock Proiects - The major livestock project in Calhoun County centers around the local county fair. On this page is a statistical report of the results of the calves, lambs, barrows, capons and tur- keys fitted for our fair. So far as breeding proje~ts are concerning, we have three boys who have started lamb projects and two boys and one girl working together to establish a swine breeding herd. Our 4-H Livestock Judging teams entered contests in Robstown, Victoria and the district contest in College Station. Judges for our progress shows were Dick Hartman and Uel Thompson for our calves; Don Richardson, lambs; and W. O. Cawley gave a special program oq poultry.
