Tumbleveed
Crop Grows
Over Texas
SAN ANGELO, Tex. W-A great
many iarmers around here face
some pitchfork drill this fall and
winter. They'll harvest a crop they
can't sell, can't eat. can't feed
their cattle, can't afford not to
harvest.
The plant Is the tumbleweed a
Joy to romping children, a ghost to
a scary horse and a burden to
dryland farmers.
Many billions of the weed are
ripening in unused fields. High
winds last weekend loosened a few
million.
They whipped across level
ground until they hit a fence or
other barrier and then they piled
up. They buried the fence.
Sheltered lawns also were buried
several feet deep.
Tumbleweeds range from knee" to
waist high. Their limbs grow into
a light, ball-lite mass of tough
branches. They break from the
ground easily and children like to
race them as the wind rolls them
along. A nervous horse shys away
from them almost as fast as from
a rattlesnake's buzz.
Where the weeds pile up. they
can burn as if they were gasoline
saturated. If Jiey're left along a
fence row, winter winds bury them
In silt and can completely cover
the fence in dirt. Nothing less than
a bulldozer moves them success
fully. Soil conservationists blame two
things for the severe infestation:
dry. weather in the early summer
which caused fields to be aban
doned for the season, and later
rain which nurtered the tumble
weeds. Elmer Kelton, San Angelo Standard-Times
agricultural editor, has
his own explanation:
"The tumbleweed is nature's way
of trying to provide cover for bare
ground.
"Nature can't abide a bars spot,
and where man fails to cultivate
or removes the grass, the, old
dame steps In and puts tumble
weeds or other weeds as her own
conservation measure."
