LETTERS
To the People
of Cottle County
Dear Folks:
As we bring to a close an-
other Funds drive for the
American Cancer Society, we
stand in humble awe at your
generosity.
Under the able direction of
Mmes C.N. Willingham and
Levi Goodwin you have
“bettered your best.”
Because we want you to
be better informed about can-
cer, and because we want you
to be better protected against
it, we wished for everyone
of you when Dr. Carl F. Page
of Lubbock made a most in-
formative and inspiring talk
on the subject on Wednes-
day afternoon, May 6.
When Dr. Page told us of
recent break-throughs in can-
cer research that are already
saving thousands of lives,
and of leads toward other en-
couraging findings on cancer
causes and treatment, we
were brought to realize fur-
ther that “where there is a
will there is a way” and that
some day there will be a cure.
I believe that his every lis-
tener resolved anew to con-
tinue and to increase their
fight against this insiduous
disease.
Dr. Page recognized Cottle
County as far exceeding any
other County in the district
in its services and work on
the cancer problem.
Thank you, for exceeding
your share—but I know you
aren’t the kind of people who
are interested in “shares”
when the fight is so important
and the cause so worthy.
We are grateful to the
workers who helped in the
Funds drive.
Besides Mrs. Willingham
and Mrs. Levi Goodwin our
committee is composed of
the following willing workers:
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Powell
and their employees, Mmes
V.H. Worley, Tennie Byars,
Jessie G. Thomas, W. W.
Martin, Nettye Yowell, Joe
Sparks, C. A. Brooks, Boss
Mayo, G. R. Wilson, Sr.,
Ira Brown and Eddie Crump-
ton.
Sincerely,
Carmen Bennett
To the young men and
young ladies of Paducah
Schools and our many friends:
We want to thank you for
the two most wonderful years
of our lives. You people have
given us pleasant memories
that we will cherish forever.
We will miss you all and
feel that we will have a hard
time finding as nice a group
of young men and young
ladies anywhere else.
Sincerely,
Coach Kenneth Scott,
Loretta, Mickey and Becky

The Cottle-King 4-H Horse
Show to be held this Saturday
probably will not have very
many entries, but it repre-
sents a start on a project
that could interest a lot of
4-H members.
This year there will be a
District 4-H Horse Show at
Vernon on July 9 and 10. To
be eligible for the district
show, a horse must show in
the county show. Toar Piper
has been working with a
group since March and they
have really made a lot of pro-
gress on both showing at hal-
ter and the performance
classes. Anyone interested
is invited to come out Satur-
day at 2:00 p.m. to see the
contest.
The 4-H Roundup will be
held at Texas A&M University
in College Station this week.
Cottle County will be repre-
sented by a Soil Judging team
and a tractor operator. The
Soil Team is made up of Carl
.
His Honor’s ’65 Ford......rides quieter than His
Lordship’s Rolls-Royce
Dean Moss, Ronnie Bouk-
night and Glyn Carson. Roger
Gregory is the tractor opera-
tor.
Last Friday the annual
meeting of the American Cot-
ten Congress was held in
Lubbock. Prentiss Fields,
chairman of the Field Crops
Subcommittee for the Cottle-
King County Program Build-
ing Committee, and I attend-
ed. It was a very informative
meeting. The featured speaker
was Frank Lowenstein, cotton
economist for the USDA in
Washington, D.C. Lowenstein
discussed the cotton problem
and proposed legislation. His
office has not yet recommend-
ed any cotton bill to the Con-
gress, but they are working
on a bill to introduce soon.
The talks left little doubt
that cotton is still in trouble .
The carryover forU.S. upland
cotton on August 1, 1965, is
expected to reach 13.4 mil-
lion bales, up 1.3 million
bales from last year* This is
the fourth consecutive year
th^ carryover has increased.
The record carryover of 14.4
million bales was set in 1956.
Despite a rise in domestic
mill consumption, the total
disappearance of upland cot-
ton for the 1964-65 year is
well below the production for
1964. Exports, which play a
very important role in total
disappearance of cotton, have
declined sharply this year.
Three major factors are be-
hind the expected 21 per
cent drop in exports. They
are the record production of
cotton in foreign free-world
countries; the reduced free-
world trade with Communist
countries because of their
near record production and
the working down of cotton
stocks in importing countries.
Foreign free-world con-
sumption of cotton is expect-
ed to total a record 25 mil-
lion bales. Production in
these same countries also
set a new record of 22.5 mil-
lion bales for the 1964—65
year. The sharpest increases
were in Central America and
Africa.
In order to make U.S. cotton
available for export and at
competitive world prices, the
U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture has announced that the
initial rate for payment is
kind for the 1965—66 crop
year under the Cotton Equali-
zation Program will be ap-
proximately 5.75 cents per
pound.
Texas cotton growers
should continue to strive to
produce cotton at the least
possible cost per pound. This
means the use of the latest
findings from research and
demonstration farms covering
all phases of cotton produc-
tion.

May has been so cool that
gardening has been disap-
pointing. Most all plants have
been retarded by our weather,
especially newly planted an-
nuals. It is not too late to
plant most annuals as warm
weather is “bound to come.”
Container plants are in
vogue-plant zinnias, petunias
or favorites in any kind of
pots or containers. They look
attractive and can be moved
easily. Pot some chrysan-
themums for fall.
Allow all foliage on all
bulbs, corns or rhizomes to
ripen by turning yellow—it’s
their food. Daffodills should
be moved or replanted in May
or June. Do not store, just
replant six inches deep.
When separating iris leave
two or three rhizomes to make
a strong plant that will bloom
next year. Remove colors
that do not appeal to you—
divide and replant iris in
June or July. Share excess
with friends, especially new
gardeners.
Dead wood can be cut, out
of roses, shrubs and trees at
any time of the year. Use a
tree bomb or seal after cut-
ting. It’s not too late to prune
and shape lilacs—but do it
now as new buds form soon
after blooming. Prune wis-
teria, forsythia, bridal
wreath and all spring flower-
ing shrubs now or by June.
Prune summer flowering
shrubs in fall or spring.
Try to plant shallow rooted
plants that do not require
deep watering over your tu-
lips (your tulips will not rot.)
This for other bulbs also.
When transplanting an-
nuals, make hole large and
deep enough. Plants look
small but they grow and they
need room for good roots and
healthy plants.
Most experts contend that
dahlias do not need .much
watering but one expert ad-
vises to keep dahlias moist,
not wet. He must be from
West Texas and has seen how
our winds dry our soil.
Feed tomato plants, and
protect them with tomato in-
secticide until first fruit
reaches half of the mature
size. Disbud chrysanthiums
until late July.
