Hasn't October been be=uWd! It ts my favorite month of the dependent on the whims of markets and the fickleness of nature,
year, and I always long to be where the trees are red and gold
interspersed with evergreens and colors more subdued in a
balance of beauty that only God knows how to create.
October is that mixture of summer and winter, steeped in the
essences of each, that brings out a feeling of deep contentment
and warmth of soul, yet hints of excitement and promises rest.
October on the farm is a busy month in Texas. Farmers are
harvesting grain sorghums and hay crops, doing the year's last
plowing, sowing their late wheat and beginning the cotton
harvest.
This is the time, these last three months of the year, when a
farmer comes to grips with failure or hails success for his year's
work. His crops are ready for harvest, and his rewards, always
can at last be calculated with certainty.
It is dlfficnlt to behold the sorghums heavy with grain and the
limbs of cotton stalks bending low from the weight of green and
open bolls and realize that not all farmers are blessed with such
an abundant crop. One can look at the crops in our vicinity and
wonder how the nation can have a shortage of so many products
and a scarcity of foodl
We may lack the riotous colors of the tree-covered hills and
valleys of more easterly regions, but our corner Of God's
footstool is beautiful in other ways. There is a golden quality to
the October sun, a deep rich sheen in the foliage of growing
things, the lovely paler green of young wheat, the redolent scent
of freshly turned soil, the long rows and wide fields of brick-red
maize, the contrast of white cotton fluff among the leathery
green of old leaves, bales of sweet hay dotting the shorn fields,
cattle grazing placidly on the lush acres of early wheat -- all these
beauties and more under a turquoise canopy and blended
together by the musky aromas of autumn.

The yards are ablaze with fall flowers and brilliant berries. The
abundant rains have left verdance everywhere. All the processes
of nature are stepped up to a feverish pace: weeds that grew to
tremendous heights earlier in the year now seed at four inches
high; spiders frantically spin their last gossamer creations which
sparkle with rainbow droplets in the morning sun; the supplies
for the winter; man outfits himself with all the accoutrements of
winter and sees that all equipment is readied and protected;
animals grow long and heavy coats of hair or fur; and the earth
itself turns away from the sun to cool the fires of summer and let
the sap run down.
But there are other manifestations of October: gusty winds
from the south and east, bringing high humidity up from the
stormy gulf; the first northers stealing in to mingle chilly
atmospheres with warm, wet air, condensing the moisture and
bringing rain; and rambunctious thunderstorms throwing their
last "Sunday punch" before winter defuses them.
If one walks in the ripening fields, the leaves that look so
beautiful from the highways are etched with brown veinings and
speckled with white splotches, disclosing the havoc wrought by
half a year of high winds and beating sand and the ravages of
insects. Maize leaves are split into dry ribbons that rattle in the
wind and are streaked with the discolorations of disease and
infestation.
But, Hike beautiful old people, those wasted stalks and leaves
have spent themselves in yielding fruit to be used and enjoyed by
other beings and are the progenitors of countless others like
themselves that will nourish and sustain life as long as the world
stands.
Thank you, Lord, for the harvest and for beautiful October[

Broncho JV takes 20-15
win over Claude
Thursday night, the Broncho Junior Varsity traveled to Claude
and brought home a 20-15 victory over the B team Mustangs.
Clarendon started the scoring in the first quarter on a 3-yard run
by Larry Shields, but the extra point try failed. Claude tied it up
later with a short dive, and the successful kick gave the Claude B
team a 7-6 lead. Before the half ran out, Clarendon jumped back
in front when Larry Shields returned a kick 85 yards for a
touchdown, and Tony Wallace's extra points run gave the
Clarendon crew a 14-7 lead at the half.
In the third quarter, Tony Wallace swept 80 yards for the
touchdown that put the Clarendon lead to 20-7. The try for the
two points missed. In the last stanza, the Claude team shortened
the lead on a touchdown pass and two-point run which made the
score 20-15. Clarendon kept the Claude Junior Varsity at bay the
rest of the game to preserve the win.
Mrs. Neweli Rice was visited last weekend by daughter and
son-in-law Elmer and Virginia Sowder of Los Alamos, New
Mexico.
