Kitchen carpets promise con-
venience in return for careful
selectiona and a little extra
daily care.
Daily care means removing
spots and spills quickly, then
sponging carpet — along with
frequent vacuuming.
Consider these points for
selecting kitchen carpeting.
For practical use, multicolors
or tweeds show soil less than
solid colors.
Medium to fairly dark colors
tend to stay “fresh” longer —
deep dark shades show lint and
surface dust more readily, and
light areas show spots.
Food quality kitchen carpet-

If every American motorist
used a gallon less a week there
would be no gasoline shortage,
according to fuel experts who
are concerned about reduced
supplies and the problem of
increased consumption.
Gasoline rationing this year is
not likely, but it is not ruled out.
The fuel consumption rate is up
6 percent. Some price increases
are being reported.
But we are told that if all
motorists would take it on
themselves to find ways to cut
down on gas purchases, the
problem would be solved.
Secretary of Interior Rogers
Morton recently urged car
users to ride bicycles, take
trains, use less air conditioning,
use car pools, keep cars in “top
shape,” and drive slower. If
your speed is reduced from 70 to
60 MPH, for example, your
gasoline consumption is re-
duced by 11 percent.
Therefore, every auto owner
would be well advised to follow
these suggestions. Surely each
of us can save a gallon a week.

Generally, there are several
types of insulating materials

these should be compared on
the basis of costs.
All insulating materials are

Water should bead on the sur-

though olefins may permit
moisture to flow through the
pile more quickly than other
synthetics, they can be blotted
easily.
Homeowners are cautioned
against using carpet with woven
jute backings in the kitchen or
bathroom, because liquids can
mildew and rot it — or even
cause shrinkage. Most kitchen
carpets have sponge or high-
density foam backing — some
have a layer of woven or solid
plastic between carpeting and
backing as an extra barrier.

SCREWW0RM INFESTATIONS
INCH UPWARD
SAN ANGELO — Screw-
worms continue to increase
slowly but surely along a U. S.
line roughly parallel to the Rio
Grande.
Officials confirmed Tuesday
(May 29) the 9 latest cases: 2 in
Brewster County and 1 each in
the counties of Brooks, Crane,
Hidalgo, Jeff Davis, Jim Hogg,
Medina and Zavala.
Dr. James Novy said Tuesday
that, wit the exception of Brew-
ster and Medina, the other
counties had reported their first
1973 screwworms. He is director
of field operations at the Mis-
sion, Texas, headquarters of the
USDA Screwworm Eradication
Program.
“We had expected this build-
up,” said Novy, “and we are
air-dropping an enormous num-
ber of sterile screwworm flies
on the Coahuila side of the river.
“Even so, such preventive
measures are not enough. We
urgently need for livestock pro-
ducers to mail us samples j of
what may be screwworms. In
case of confirmation, we can
then quickly hot-spot (air-drop
sterile flies at the very spot
where the worms are found).”
Although dry weather is help-
ing some, those areas much
susceptible are Far West Texas,
Transpecos, Hill Country and
Edwards Plateau. Cases con-
firmed in week ending May 26
werej5 in Medina, 2 in Hidalgo,
and : each in Glasscock, Brew-
ster ind Starr counties.
County extension agents in
the aqeas are working with pro-
ducers to check the worms as
mucqas possible, and are mail-
ing samples to Screwworm

County Agent's Report
By Duery Menzies
A program to remind farmers
of the need to use chemical
pesticides safely is now under-
way in Texas and 13 other
southern states. The program,
known as “Project Safeguard,”
is designed to emphasize the
safe use of chemical insecti-
cides being used as substitutes
for DDT, and of other less
persistent but generally more
toxic insecticides.
DDT is no longer registered
by the state and federal regula-
tory agencies for agricultural
use in Texas. Insecticides used
as substitutes for DDT are less
persistent but generally more
toxic and may represent a
greater hazard to persons hand-
ling, mixing, applying or other-
wise exposed to the chemicals.
“Project Safeguard” ac-
tivities in Gillespie County will
include special emphasis on
insecticide selection and safe
use as a part of meetings and
other educational activities
relating to the use of insecti-
cides. Additional activities will
include the use of posters and
special publications describing
the safe use of insecticides.
All pesticide users are re-
minded to exercise care to
avoid accidental poisoning. An
important step is to minimize
exposure to the chemicals. Here
are. some safe use tips:
J r rJl. Always observe recom-
mended protective measures
specifically mentions on the
label.
2. Cover up before exposure,
not after.
3. Use clean clothing daily
and bathe (shower) at the first
opportunity following pesticide
use.
4. A wide brimmed hat,
preferably waterproof, offers
protection from downward drift
for face and neck areas. Con-
taminated hatbands can pre-
sent a problem; thus, use an in-
expensive hat that can be dis-
carded after minimal use or one
with a replaceable hatband.
5. Wear unlined, natural rub-
ber, gauntlet gloves for best
protection. Prevent contami-
nation of the inside of the
gloves.
6. A long-sleeves, ligfot
colored, washable cloth jacket,
preferably water proof is desir-
able.
7. I f exposure to the lower
trunk and legs is anticipated
(mixing, loading, etc.) a water
proof apron is essential.
8. Use water proof shoes or
boots. Leather shoes become
contaminated and crack after a
few wettings and thus are pene-
trated easily. Canvas shoes also
become wet and are a constant
source of exposure.
9. Shield the eyes to avoid
contamination, particularly if
splashing may occur (mixing,
loading, etc.). Goggles or a face
shield will offer protection.
Oral and respiratory expos-
ure must also be prevented. Al-
ways wash hands and face thor-
oughly before eating or drinking
following pesticide use. Do not
expose lunch, lunch container,
beverage or drinking vessel to
pesticides. Use a respirator if
called for on accordance with
manufacturers directions.
Project Safeguard is a co-
operative activity sponsored
jointly by Texas Agricultural
Extension Service, the U. S. En-
vironmental Protection Agency
and the U. St Department of
Agriculture. Health and public
service agencies, trade associa-
tions and manufacturers are
also involved in the program
effort.

AUSTIN — What do you do
when you meet a tick?
It’s not a matter of etiquette.
You don’t have to be polite. But
it doesn’t pay to be too abrupt,
either.
Ticks should be handled with
care. Should one settle down for
a feast on a tender part of your
anatomy, it would be improper
just to yank it off. The tick will
probably retaliate by leaving its
head under your skin, causing
you much misery for days.
The theory behind removing a
tick is to deprive it of air, caus-
ing it to remove its head from
your skin more or less volun-
tarily.
Since the tick breathes
through its body when it is feed-
ing, it is recommended that you
cover its body with something
which will inhibit its breathing.
This could be nail polish re-
mover, alcohol or a heavy oil.
It is important that the tick be
given time to become distressed
enough to remove its head from
you skin.
Of course, the best defense
against ticks is prevention.
Many times ticks will wander
around one’s anatomy for hours
before a particularly succulent
spot appeals to them. This gives
the potential victim time after
an outing to take off his clothes
and examine himself thor-
oughly. Of course, the clothes
used for the outing should not be
put back on since they could be
harboring ticks.
Ticks are not to be taken
lightly. Their bites can become
infected easily, especially if you
scratch them.
And at least one serious dis-
ease, Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, is transmitted by ticks.
Fifteen cases of this disease
were reported in 1972, all of
them in East Texas.
