YTON, CROSBY COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, APRIL. 10, 1943
NUMBER SIXTEEN
Washington, D. C.—A blunt challenge—whether Amer-
Jwill be more tender with their'money than with the
of their sons—confronts U. S. citizens Ss they prepare.to
the appeal of the government to put an additional 13
dollars into the fight in the next three weeks.

• Spending Too High.
spending in 1942 was
much too high to meeUhe war situa-
tion of l943. Last yedr «e than
at billion •dollars of our^oaring na-
tional income went to-feed the de-
sires of Americans for clothes, rec-
reation, foods and luxuries. As 'thes*
items grow scarcer, more of our in-
come must be diverted from such
expenses into government bonds.
During 1942 millions of our fathers,
sons, relatives and friends were in
training here and abroad. Some
were already in action. Casualties
were beginning to bite into every
community. War Bonds became a
vital link between the home and
flghtingfrorrts.
— Today sacrifice has become'aT way
of life for America's^ fighting men.
Civilian spending on the. 1942 scale'
must go out the window &\the home
folks are to attempt to match the
heroism of our boys at the front.
Not every American can take his
place in a bomber or in a foxhole
or on a fighting ship but h^ -cap fire
away at the enemy by lending t
money to the government.

FARMERS PAYING
OFF OBLIGATIONS
SAYS ASS'N HEAD
The old-fashioned doctrine of
"work and save" is very much in
the thinking of farmers a n 1
ranchmen as they lay plans to
reach war production goals i n
1943. Lee F. T^rk, Secretary-
Treasurtegof the Lubt>6ck #*roatfc^
tion Credit Association, report^
that more than ever before farm-
ers and stockmen are trying hard
"to get their business in shape.'
He said that they are "paying off
their obligations down to a safe
basis, making investments in con-
version to full war basis and are
writing into their plans for 1943 a
heavier investment in War Bonds.
Many are pledging to invest a
certain part of production re-
turns in War Bonds."
He said that the association's
loan committee is helping individ-
ual members work out financing
plans in advance to help them
Fea^^^p^gcials. "3%ere is
a" feeling- among'the farm and
ranch people - that they want to
get the most out of their places
toward helping win the War" and
at the same time come out of the
war in good and sound financial
shape. War Bonds not only help
finance the war now but they
provide the family a reserve for
peace times when readjustments
have to be made and when many
of the things now wearing. out
will have to be replaced."
The Lubbock Production Credit
Association has been instrument-
al In the sale of $12,000.00 in
bonds in the past 3 months, and
pledges now qn hand total $2,-
500,00 for future*purchases. While
the association will issue bonds to
any purchaser , its sales efforts
are concentrated on its 885 mem-
bers. - • "
F. F. A. CHAPTER ATTENDS
PLAINVIEW DAIRY SHOW
T^Mrty-five members of the local
'F. 'J*. A. Chapter, Manuel W.
Ayers-, their advisor and J.-W.
Layton, attended the Panhandle-
Plains Dairy Show at Plainview
Tuesday. Mr. Layton took the
group in his truck. The boys ar6
very grateful to Mr. Layton for
taking them to Plainview.
The group reported a very en-
joyable and educational trip but
were surprised at the jattendance
was no greater. The quantity of
the Dairy Cattle was down but
the quality was excellent. Some of
the most outstanding dairy cattle
of the Southwest were exhibited.
The hour and a half -"Victory
Roundup" program and corona-
tion of the Dairy Show Queen, put
on by the South Plains Army Fly-
ing School and Plainview Glider
School Detachment was very en-
tertaining.
BATTLE OF BUGS
AND INSECTS
By RUTH W. MARSHALL
County Home Dem. Agent
Control of vegetable insects is
not as difficult as many persons
seem to think. The ideal strategy
is to wage an offensive battle,
beginning as soon as the first in-
vaders appear in the garden and
never giving them a chance to be-
come established. This * battle
should continue at intervals o t
four or five days until the enemy
is mopped up.
Insecticides necessary for th'S
job include cryolite and calcium
arsenate to control flea beetles,
cucumber beetles, cttbhage worms
and other insects which feed upon
the fruit and foliage of the plants;
nicotine sulfate or procide for
pl%rit..lice ,stink bugs, squash bugs
and other whigh'suck the juices
from leaves and stfems; and paris
green' to make baita for cutworms,
sow bugs and mole crickets.
Generally, it is easier to con-
trol garden insects with a dust-
er, but good results also can be ob-
tained with a sprayer if done
thoroughly. Information on con-
structing a simple home made
duster from a tin can, broomhan-
dle and cheesecloth maybe ob-
tained from the extension agents.
Plant lice are probably the most
common and destructive vegetable
pests. rThey attack almost au
crops, especially lurnipa, radish-
es, mustard, cabbage and other
similar plants. They may be con-
trolled by using a five percent ro-
tenone-sulphur mixture, or nico-
tine sulfate as a spray or dust.
Begin as soon as the pests appear
and thoroughly cover the lower
surface of the leaves. In addition,
destroy stalks as soon as the crop
Is harvested in order to eliminate
breeding places for lice and bugs.

After a month and a half oJC
point rationing ,have you become
a littlsL careless in the use o f
atamps ? As one of the 35 million
homemakers carrying point ra-
ration books in your purse, yon
might like to check your shopping
methods by the tips given here
on getting your money's worth
and coupons worth. 5
One—Read the label carefully.
That way you will learn how much
the can or jar contains, if it is a
pure or an adulterated products,
and perhaps something about the
quality of the contents.
Two—Buy the- quality for your
particular purpose. You do not
need Grade A or fancy fruits if
you are going to put them in a
Pie- "" •
Three—Choose the can that is
most economical for your use.
Learn can arithmetic. For exam-
ple a No. 1 tall can weighs a.
,, ... . . , ... pound, contains about two cups
