Program On
Screwworms
Moves Ahead
The screwworm eradication
program is in its second week
of operation in Texas. Five mil-
lion sterile screwworm flies
were released in the lower Rio
Grande Valley last week, ac-
cording to County Agent Pawlik.
He adds that the first phase of
the eradication program, the
raising of funds to support the
program, is almost complete.
The second phase of the eradi-
cation program is just begin-
ning. The individual stock own-
er will play an important part
in this phase of the eradication
program. *
A buffer zone in the Southern
portion of Texas along the Mex-
ican border will be maintained.
If the eradication program is to
be effective, the individual
rancher must inspect his live-
stock frequently; treat screw-
worm cases immediately with a
recommended insecticide; col-
lect ten worms from each wound
and take to his county agent;
not move animals out of
counties where screwworms
have been reported until the ani-
mals have been sprayed with a
recommended insecticide; not
accept or move animals from
other states where screwworms
may exist unless the cattle
dealer, buyer, or hauler inspects
and treats all animals at origin
with the recommended screw-
worm smear or spray; and do
everything possible to prevent
screwworm infested animals
from entering his neighborhood.
Texas stockmen and others
have contributed over one mil-
lion three hundred and thirty-
three thousand dollars to the
screwworm eradication pro-
gram. The goal for the state
has been set at three million
dollars, according to M. L. Abra-
hams, county chairman of the
program. He urges all of those
concerned who have not already
contributed to either mail their
contribution to C. M. Kellum,
P.O. Box 1427, Sinton, Texas, or
leave them with C. S. Brown or
Hilmer Person, Mathis; J. B.
Hansen, West Sinton; M. L.
Abrahams, Taft; Gordon Porter,
Ingleside; J. F. Brundrett,
Rockport or Floyd Rouquette,
Fulton.
The federal government has
pledged to match the producer-
raised funds in this all import-
ant program.
Connally Rally
This Saturday
In Floresville
FLORESVILLE — Upwards to
10,000 are expected here Satur-
day at the gigantic homecom-
ing rally and free barbecue for
John B. Connally, Wilson
County’s favorite son and candi-
date for governor.
Serving starts at 11 a. m. in
a grove of huge oaks on the
Connally home ranch, four miles
west of here on Farm Road 536.
The route will be marked plain- j
ly between U. S. Highways 181
and 281 for easy east-west en-
trance.
The speaking part of the pro-
gram, which will be filmed, be-
gins at 1 p. m. School bands,
strolling musicians and singing
groups will provide continuous
entertainment until then.
Friendly informality will be
the rally’s keynote. Connally wiil
speak in shirt sleeves; the crowd
will sit on 5,000 bales of hay
strewn beneath the oaks.
A blanket invitation to every-
one in Texas — men, women
and children — has been issued
by Wayne W. Connally, younger
brother of the candidate and
chairman of the rally com-
mittee.
New Rule
To Apply
To Cotton
COLLEGE STATION — The
four-row limitation on “skip-
row” planting will not apply to
the 1962 cotton crop, according
to an announcement by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Orville L.
Freeman.
Under regulations for 1961 and
earlier crops, skip-row cotton
planting was permitted provided
the skips left idle or planted to
other crops were equal in width
to the four rows of cotton. If the
skip rows were any narrower,
the entire acreage was counted
as planted to cotton for acreage
allotment and marketing quota
purposes. Under this arrange-
ment many growers planted a
four - and - four pattern — four
rows to cotton and four left idle
or planted to other crops.
Cancer Society Asks Women
To Have UterineCancerTest
A campaign urging all San
Patricio County women to have
a cell examination for uterine
cancer was launched here today
by the local Unit of the Ameri-
can Cancer Society.
Medical authorities believe the
examination can virtually elimi-
nate uterine cancer as the sec-
ond leading cause of cancer
deaths among women. Last year
uterine cancer took the lives of
about 16,000 women in the Unit-
ed States.
In announcing the drive, J. D.
Carlisle, Public Education Com-
mittee Chairman for the local
unit, described the development
The change, Secretary Free- of the cell examination for uter-
man said, will provide the cot-
ton grower with more latitide in
planning and carrying out his
operations. Under the new sys-
tem, only land actually planted
to cotton will be counted as cot-
ton land in determining compli-
ance with acreage allotments
and marketing quotas. Each
grower will determine for him-
self the pattern best suited to
his operation. It is expected that
many will shift to a two-and-two
pattern, that is two rows of cot-
ton and two rows left idle or
planted to other crops.
The decision to end limitations
on the skip-row planting is in
line with recommendations of
the Cotton Advisory Committee
and many members of the cot-
ton industry, USDA officials
said, and is expected to result
in improved income for cotton
growers through increased effic-
iency in production.
The January 2 announcement
applies only to cotton and does
ine cancer as one of the most
important scientific advances
ever made in the fight to con-
trol cancer.
It was pointed out that the
test makes it possible to detect
uterine cancer before symptoms
appear. This means cancer de-
tection at a time when the tumor
is microscopic and confined to
its site of origin.
Cancer authorities emphasize
that virtually all cases of uter-
ine cancer can be cured if the
disease is treated while still lo-
calized. Currently about 55 per
cent of uterine cancer patients
are being saved.
The examination is based on
research pioneered by Dr.
All Candidates
Pay Their
Filing Fees
The political rates in San Pat-
ricio Co. have shifted into high
gear, with each candidate filing
in the county having paid his,
or her, filing fee before the dead
line for doing so was reached.
Rumors of political rallies are
in the air, and the BASSO and
Lulacs indicate there will be
an above average interest shown
on the part of Latin voters this
year. Meetings of.both the PAS
SO and Lulac organizations have
already been held with all can-
didates invited to attend.

Deep Plowing Is Reducing
Cotton Root Rot In Texas
COLLEGE STATION — Over
5,000 Texas cotton farmers are
reducing cotton root rot by deep
plowing. They deep plowed more
than a quarter million acres
during 1961 according to year-
end reports by county agricul-
tural agents.
Farmers in many counties
have carried out result demon-
strations which showed positive-
ly that deep plowing does re-
duce root rot, said Harlan
Smith, extension plant patholo-
gist.
Best results were obtained, he
explained, when deep plowed
soil was allowed to dry for ten
days to two weeks during sum-
mer or early fall when soil
moisture was below normal.
Shorter drying periods have giv-
en a degree of control but are
somewhat unreliable, Smith
said.
Affected areas should be plow-
ed and large amounts of or-
ganic matter turned under dur-
ing the hot, dry season. Plow
depths of from 6 to 18 inches
are recommended, depending
upon the soil type and equip-
ment available. Mold-board or
disc breaking plows are satis-
factory for doing the job, the
specialist said. Drying the soil
for a reasonable period kills the
root rot fungus by drying and
killing cotton roots and those of
susceptible weeds, Smith ex-
plained.
The reports from the counties
showed that losses ranging up to
75 per cent had been reduced to
less than 5 per cent by deep
plowing. Eradication is not us-
ually complete because the fun-
gus may penetrate the soil to a
depth of 8 feet, Smith added.
Local county agents can sup-
ply additional information on
root rot control practices, and
Smith suggests a visit.
Mosquito Bills
Paid By
Com. Court
Li closing out the mosquito
control program in San Patricio
Co. Friday morning the com-
missioners court authorized
County Auditor, Ray Harris to
pay a balance of $247 due on the
two dusting machines used in
the program.
The total cost of the machines
was $4,000, but the county was
allowed credit for the rental fee
of the machines at the rate of
$7.50 per hour.
The mosquito control program
v/as sponsored by the State
Health Department and the fed-
eral government, with the coun-
ty furnishing the men to operate
the program.
The court also authorized Har-
ris to pay the cost of 7,000
pounds of BHC and 10 gallons
of liquid chemicals left over
from the program. The chem-
icals wall be stockpiled and used
at a later date should the mos-
quito control program have to be
again opened in the county.
The court authorized the coun-
ty auditor to advertise for bids
on additional ballot boxes for
use by the county Republican
party. Judge W. E. Nicholas ad-
vised the court that he had been
informed by the Republican
chairman that only five or six
of the balloting boxes will be
used. There are 18 balloting box-
es in the county.
George N. Papanicolaou of Cor-
nell University.. In 1923 he be-
gan developing what has since
become an important branch of
medical science — exfoliative
cytology — or study of cells
shed in body fluids.
Dr. Charles H. Simpson, medi-
cal advisor for the San Patricio
Unit of the American Cancer
Society, emphasized the fact
that the examination is simple
and painless for both married
and unmarried women, and said
that, doctors can give the test
in their offices.
Mr. Carlisle also urged all
San Patricio County women to
beware of the danger of false
modesty.
“Failure to seek available
safeguards against cancer be-
cause of false sense of modesty
has too often in the past been a
tragic cause of death amohg
women. Happily, the rising can-
cer cure rate among women
shows that they are going to
their doctors for annual health
check-ups.”
Since 1946, the American Cart-
cer Society has invested about
$1,000,000 in research directed
at perfecting the metrod and in
making it universally available,
Mr. Carlisle added.
The San Patricio County Unit
of the American Cancer Society;
Texas Division, Inc. wall hold a
meeting of the Education Com-
mittee on March 2 at 7:30 p.m.
in the San Patricio Electric Co-
operative Building in Sinton.
