"Shooting Stars" Is
Presented Here Twice
"Shooting Stars” a big variety
stage show was presented Thurs-
day' and Friday nights under the
sponsorship of the James Oliver
McDonald VFW auxiliary in the
Senior High school auditorium.
The show, directed by Miss Pam
Stone of Phiadelphia, Pa., was
four-act musical comedy which
was termed as “highly pleasing”
by the audience.
In the “Queen for a Day” event,
Mrs. V. J. Humphreys was chosen
Thursday night, and Mrs. James
M. Hartness, Jr., of Lubbock, for-
merly of Levelland, was named
Friday night.
Business men of Levelland fur-
nished the various prizes for the
queens each night.
Mrs. Jo Rowland, headed a
group of VFW auxiliary women in
promoting the show.
WE’RE NOT SURE which
thi* would be termed--“wet"
or “dry”—but Levelland had
three out-of-town visitors
Thursday afternoon who made
one of the week’* biggest news
Itema. They were M. Ml. Hood,
F. E. Parker and Loyd Owens,
all of the State Liquor Control
Board office In Lubbock.
JSE OUR BUDG
ORDINARILY WHEN three out-
of-towners visit our city, we make
a five or slx-liae personal about
their sojourn and let It go at that.
But in the case of Messrs. Hood,
Parker and Owens enough news
developed to rate not only a story
with a big head on it, but several
pictures as well.
TORE
IT’S A BIG ’Ul<l, ALL RIGHT . . . This dlsplayv>f “Yea" tissue
at the Piggiy Wiggly store here is said by representatives of the
tissue firm to be “the largest display (of its kind) in the largest
state.” Bill Bachman, a representative of the company, was in
Levelland to supervise arrangement of the huge display.

BactarUl blight ia a disease which cotton growers have become more and
more aware of in rtcent yearn. Hie disease is also known aa angular leaf
spot, boll blight, blackarm, sore shin and damping otf, depending on Him
of yeer end pert of the cotton plant affected.
On the leaf, bacterial blight appears as watersqaked, angular spots
which become brown upon drying. On the holla, the wateraoeked round
lessons become sunken and black upon drying. Hke blackarm phase of the
dlessee occurs aa black eloogated lesions an the stems end fruiting
branches. Sore shin and damping off are seedling diseases end infect the
shank ot youag cotton just after it comae up.
The angular leaf spot infection an in tains the dlseees in the field during
the whrt growing season end may then spread to the boll blight phase
at the disease which probably causae the greatest leas. In boll blight, the
bacteria may stain fiber*, thus reducing the grade of the lint. Boll blight
linos may serve aa avenues of entrance for boil rot fungi which norm-
ally would not infect healthy cotton.
Treating cotton planting need with Cereean M is helpful in preventing
bacterial blight during the seedling stage.
