Cotton leafworms were found
in San Patricia and Victoria
counties this week. This makes
a total of seven counties in
Texas thus far found infested.
Of the 25 fields inspected in
Neueces County, 11 were found
infested; 6 light, 4 ragged, and
1 stripped. It appears that there
is very little likelihood that
leafworms will build up in
South Texas in sufficient num-
bers to migrate to other areas
of Texas in time to cause dam-
age.
In Northwest Texas Lygus
bugs are, reported in damaging
numbers, especially in fields
near alfalfa. Scattering infesta-
tions of bollworms have also
been reported from this area.

very low ebb due to continued
hot, dry weather and rapid
maturity of the cotton crop over
most of the State. Some .dam-
age may still be expected in
late cotton and in irrigated
areas.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the importance of
early fall destruction of cotton
stalks as a preventative measure
for both pink bollworm and
boll weevils.
This is the final report for the
season.

Warehouse And
Compress Operator
Plays Vital Roll
Among the many services ren-
dered cotton in its journey from
the farm to the consumer, one
of the most important and the
one that is the least costly to
either the producer or the ulti-
mate consumer is that provided
by the warehouse and compress
operator.
This fact was' pointed out here
today by officers of the Nation-
al Cotton Compress and Cotton
Warehouse Association, who are
directing the campaign to ful-
fill the pledge of the associa-
tion at its last meeting in New
Orleans to bend every effort
to reduce the already low costs
of handling cotton.
This action was taken in re-
sponse to the urging of Secretary
of Agriculture Clinton P. Ander-
son and other cotton leaders
who have pointed out that if
cotton is to maintain its com-
petitive position in the world
of textiles, costs from the farm
to the consumer must be reduc-
ed.
Through mechanization the
farmer hopes to grow cotton
more cheaply. It is through this
same mechanization, as applied
to the handling of cotton in
warehouses and compresses, that
the warehouseman hopes to pro-
vide his share of the lower costs
which are necessary if cotton
hopes to retain its markets. If
all costs are reduced enough,
farm leaders believe, cotton has
a chance of regaining some of
the markets It has lost v and,
through research and competi-
tive prices, win even new mar-
kets.
The warehouse provides more
than a shed to protect the farm-
er’s cotton from the weather. It
provides insurance against loss.
It provides samples for the
trade or the Government loan.
It provides the best and most
efficient means of assembling
cotton for shipment, since the
mills buy cotton by 100-bale
lots, all of which must be of the.
same grade and staple.
The compresses make it pos-
sible to save on the freight costs
between the warehouse and the
mill by compressing the cotton
so that more bales can be load-
ed in a car. For export sale,
high density compression cuts
the cost of freight to the ports
and of shipping to the export
market overseas.
Since every saving that can
be effected between the pro-
ducer and the mill strengthens
cotton’s competitive position, the
modern warehouseman is striv-
ing, as rapidly as the machinery
becomes available, to mechanize'
his operation. What increases
in warehouse charges have been
made in the past are traceable
almost entirely to higher labor
costs. If the efficiency/ of labor
can be increased through the
use of machinery, appreciable
savings can be made and thus
reduce even farther the small
cost the warehousing of cotton
adds to the price of the finished
product.
Flower Garden
Check List
COLLEGE STATION, Aug.—
Here’s a late August and early
September check list for your
flower garden. It comes from
J. F. Rosborough, extension horti-
culturist of Texas A. & M. Col-
lege.
1. Cut old blossoms and seed
pods from crepe myrtle and
other plants. It will keep them
blooming longer.
2. Make out your list of bulbs
to plant this fall. An early or-
der gets the choice ones.
3. Order flower seeds to be
planted this fall. Calendula,
larkspur, snapdragon, phlox,
petunia, dianthus, pansy, stock,
hardy poppies, cornflower,
scabiosa and candytufts are rec-
ommended.
• 4. Chrysanthemums are heavy
feeders; they need a monthly
shot of commercial fertilizer and
plenty of water. Stake plants.
Pinch off some of the early
buds.
5. If you have any thin spots
in the lawn, mow the grass
high, fertilize and water.
6. After perennial phlox and
verbena have passed their glory,
cut the tops back pretty severe-
ly, fertilize and water for lots
of late blooms.
7. Trim back limbs and twigs
from shrubs and shade trees
that are growing out of pro-
portion for the rest of the plant.
8. While your plants are still
in bloom make a few notes on
the changes you will want to
make for next season.
JINX FOLLOWS FAMILY
BENT ON DAY'S OUTING •
It was such a beautiful day in
York. Nebr. Every member of
the Homer Lovell family agreed
it was ideal for a picnic, says
Pathfinder.
Mother filled the hamper with
golden brown fried chicken, with
all the trimmings. Pretty soon
the family car, loaded down
with victuals anid Lovells, head-
ed for the picnic grounds.
But before night:
The gas tank sprang a leak
and ruined the dinner.
One little Lovell lost her
purse three times, but found it
three times. Another little Lovell
fell down and lost the skin off
his nose.
On the way home, the car’s
four tires had seven flats. Dis-
couraged, the Lovells stopped at
a farm house for help. As they
waited in the front room, the
plaster dropped off the ceiling.
The Lovells haven’t decided
when they’ll try again.
