This is a page with interesting graphics. Although I could not find Dieter, would like to think, once found, that he is a key person in the story of the mesquite tree.

This is February 17, 2012 and very few mesquites begin to awaken

The old Indian adage is that when the mesquite waked up from winter, winter was over, will use my new Blogger tool of sending you a post from my email when I see them, in this area, all definitely awaken.
If you are coming out of your cave, you can tell it is just about there.

A soap a Soap my kingdom for a soap

Well not really, but this Christmas, my son, Saul, violinist in his Senior year at the School of Music of UTSA gave me a bar of this http://www.awildsoapbar.com product and was not only satisfying but gratifying to see that other persons are taking to use the mesquite bean, maybe some day in the future its presence as the SECOND CORN and all its multiple uses will be known to all mankind.

Enjoy the Mesquite Wild Soap, these people are good folks!

The Texas Almanac speaks on the mesquite

http://www.texasalmanac.com/topics/science/ubiquitous-mesquite

Words, words, words, here are some of my thoughts said by another person.
When I say 65 million acres, they say only 57 million in Texas and that is 76% meaning the total is 75 no?
When I say the mesquites - IF PRUNED - can give shadow and water to a Texas prairie or any prairie they say in their ACTUAL state mesquites will steal water and give hardly no shade.
That PRUNED material is the one I use for cattle feed and tanning production, and stoves the world over, and cooking rich rich steaks.
Leave to you the many more agreeable and disagreeable statements on both presentations.

Mesquite crop of 2011

My cache of around 50 lbs. is kept in my cocoons for when "someone" raises their hand and says, "boy, at 75 that is a compliment", boy they will say, with your none traditional wording, needing editing, and with your out of the traditional pictures, we have been convinced that there is something in that there mesquite bean and the rest of your Total Mesquite Industrialization, and so we like to put some money and start the ball rolling, here is our administrator and accountant with a checkbook, go get them doggies." Then I will brake open my cocoons one by one and start showing the accountant numbers and samples of cookies and ethanol and beer and and and we will show them the merits of this "SECOND AND FREE  CORN, GOD HAS GIVEN US".

Blessed be the obstinate for they will hit the wall again and again, someone once told me, George if you keep your nose to the grind, expect only a ground nose.

P/D The cocoons are made by wrapping the cooled dried beans in a double trash bag and then wrapped with shrink wrap over and over until you don't feel any mesquite barbs (the one you intended to hit your friends with if you were born in a farm and in Texas) protruding. (outch!)

TDA 2011

Made contact with the Department and was told by Deputy Dr. Drew Deberry that Mr. Jason of the Department of Evaluation of the worth of Bio-masses to be considered for the production of Ethanol would be in contact with me and that I had come to the right place.
Hope it all works out for the 2011 harvest has began to drop in the southern part of the state and it would be grand to be able to answer all the questions by economists on the value of the idea and capability of bringing the beans to the point were they can be ground and mixed with water to make a soup in which yeast organism can ferment it into alcohol for use as a bio-fuel with renewable capability, for in numbers is the value of the idea but these can only b e obtained with large enough experimentation.
The breads and cookies are in mind of cooks and investors in Bay-view, Texas for this year awaiting also the dollar contribution by me.
Certainly at 2 months of getting the thick of the harvest fall from the trees the chances of doing a large large experiment are all but dead, except for a Desert Rat , Rambo type of attack on the problematic.

Annie at 617-650-4714 a newspaper person from California asking about Mesquite

Visited with her and talked about Mesquite and the relationship with Rudy Arredondo of NLFRTA that was whom redirected her to me.
Told her about my blog, and noticed during the conversation that I had a couple of entries to make in order to update the whereabouts of the whole idea of Mesquite utilization.
So here are the updates:

Fantastic references:

http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/progla/references.html#109


This last reference has to do with the work of Dr. Becker of the WRRL back in 1958  and seen he has an entry as late as 1982 on the Journal of Food Chemistry and Agriculture

Encontrado por el Ing. Luis Flores este trabajo es de las maestras Yolanda Lopez y Adriana Torres de Conafor y Conacyt Mexico

The thesis over production of ethanol from mesquite beans - U.Piura - Peru

 https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B8q1muWu1C2bYmIwZGZmMDctNTFjZi00MTA0LWFiNTUtY2I1NDM2NzEyYWFk&hl=en

Until now we have only succeeded in upload from the hard copy received from Dr. Gaston Cruz Alcedo of the University of Piura in Peru, the pages you see in pdf format in this link shown above - much work needs to be done to make this information more easily available to you.
We are working on it , if you need the whole thesis this one can be sent to you by directly requesting it to me but unfortunately at this moment I have only the individual pages uploaded from my Lexmark printer to this computer as individual pages in pdf format.
