Way out at the western edge of Texas County the land goes flat and enormous, and a grain elevator stands in for a mountain. West Texas Weed Control keeps yards in that wind — mowing, trimming along fences and walks, edging, and cutting the weeds that jump a bar ditch and set up in a lawn overnight. Rain arrives rarely and all at once; the playas fill, and the grass answers within days. A watered lawn on the High Plains is a deliberate act, and it deserves a cut that matches the effort behind it. When the long panhandle light comes in at evening, the mowed rows show for a quarter mile.
