Up-to-the-minute results on
the other state races had not
been released. Walter Woodul of
Houston will vie with Gerald C.
Mann for the post of Attorney
General; Coke Stevenson and P.
Pierce Brooks will battle- with
ballots in the race for Lieutenant-
Governor; C. V. Terrell and G. A.
Jerry Sadler enter the run-off
for Railroad Commissioner;
Charley Lockhart, Geo. H. Shep-
pard and L, A. Woods received
the nomination for the respective
offices of State Treasurer,
Comptroller, and State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.
Bascom Giles and W. H. McDon-
ald enter the finals for the office
of Land Commissioner. J. E. Mc-
Donald was nominated for Agri-
cultural Commissioner over two
opponents. Harry N. Graves ana
Jas. A. Stephens will contest for
Court of Criminal Appeals, and
Richard Crites and W. H. David-
son for the Supreme Court.
Texas’ Congressional delegation
was returned intact with the ex-
ception of two certain and one
more possible exceptions. Maury
Maverick of San Antonio lost to
Paul J. Kilday by some 500
votes; Morgan G. Sanders ran
third; W. D. MacFarland of
Graham followed Ed Gossett of
Wichita Falls into a run-off in
the 13th district. Those whose
seats were contested, but who
won without run-offs were
Wright Patman of District No. 1.
Martin Dies of District 2, Hatton
W. Sumners of District 5; Luther-
A. Johnson of District 6, Nat
Patton of< District 7; Frit* L&n-
ham of District 12; Richard Kle-
berg of District 14; Marvin
Jones of District 18. Other
House members were unopposed
for re-election.
A spirit of rivalry, developed
among members of the Teague
Volunteer Fire Department years
ago has about rearhed the boil-
ing point, and is about tov be
finally and definitely decided by
actual test on the field of battle,
unless Fire Chief Wetherholt can
perform a miracle and stop a
feud before -it goes too far.
This rivalry, it would seem to
an unsuspicious public, hqvers
around the claims of the various
members as to their fire fighting
prowess. Some claim that they
alone are capable of putting up a
first class job of fire fighting,
while there are still others who
aver they can handle the water
hose best. In order to be entirely
fair to all members of the De-
partment, Fire • Chief Wetherholt
has decided, with the assistance,
aid and abbetting of the local
Band Mothers, to give these brag-
ging Firemen an opportunity to
show their ability, rather than
talk about it, on three consecutive
Thursday nights, Aug. 4-11-18.
The place selected is Reagan
Field, where a wire has been
strung from end to end, 160 feet
in length, and what is designated,
for lack of a more appropriate
name, Water Polo, will be staged
on these nights. The irate fire-
men do not desire funds, but an
opportunity to fight, so the Chief
has gone into cahoots with the
Teague High School Rand, under
the sponsorship of the Band
Mothers, and arranged to charge
a nominal admission fee of 10c
and 15c, and let this be used to
further the interests of the Band,
which always needs funds.
The function will not only pro-
vide fun for those seeking it, but
jweili probably develop some hot
dog and cat fights before it is
over. No person interested in
thrilling incidents can afford to
miss either of the three 3hows.
The contests developed in the
“Water Polo” games will i>e fi-
nally decided on Thursday night,
Aug. 18, the last night of the
series of three contests. Tickets
have been printed and are now on
sale to those who, while helping
along a good cause, desire to re-
ceive more than their money’s
worth in breath-taking entertain-
ment.
See big ad in this issue of the
Chronicle and circular issued
from tjie ad by the Band Mothers
and Firemen—two effective or-
ganizations with a single goal in
this project.
All rounds of the fight will be
interspersed by selections from
the Band, under the direction of
Bandmaster W. J. Botter, Jr.,
affording spectators an excellent
musical program in addition to
the “battle.”
CENTERVILLE C. OF C.
SENDS LETTER OF HIGH
PRAISE FOR BAND
Teafie
W. D. Black, Jr.,
relatives f«, Winona.
ia visiting
Supt. L. Notley received this
week a letter of appreciation from
the Centerville Chamber of Com-
merce for the presence of the
local high school band at the
Second Annual Black-eyed Pea
Festival held there on July 15.
The letter follows:
“Mr. L. Notley, Supt. of High
School, Teague, Texas. Dear Mr.
Notley: -
“The Centerville Chamber of
Commerce takes this method of
expressing their appreciation for
your sending the Teague High
School Band to our Second An-
nual Blackeyed Pea Festival.
Their concerts contributed greatly
to the success of the affair.
“Again we want to thank you
for your kind co-operation.
“Very truly yours, Centerville
Chamber of Commerce, by Chas.
L. Crouch, Secretary-Treasurer;
V. D. Brown, Chairman, Festival
Committee.”
The sending of Director Bot-
ter’s championship band to such
functions gives immeasurable
worthwhile publicity to Teague
and merits the backing of all the
citizenry.
A letter ffom Mr. R. R. Repert,
Extension Entomologist, contained
the following about cotton leaf
worm:
“We have been watching the
leaf worm situation closely and
feel safe now in saying ", that
severe damage from this insect is
immediately impending - through
the entire eastern part of the
State as far as the Red River and
that this infestation will spread
as far as the Panhandle by Sep-
tember 1, probably by mid
August. Farmers will do well to
be prepared to apply control
measures.
T)ie only poisons recommended
by us as entirely safe to use are
calcium arsenate or lead arsenate,
the latter being so expensive as
to be impractical so long as cal-
cium arsenate can be obtained
Either may be dusted or sprayed.
If dusted, from 5 to 8 pounds per
acre of either should be applied,
or sprayed, depending upon the
size of the cotton. The best time
for application is in the early
morning when the dew is on the
plants when the air is usually
quiet.
If to be applied as a spray, 3
pounds of either material should
be mixed with 50 gallons of water
and this mixture kept well agita-
ted during the application.
Paris green or London purple
are. apt to prove injurious to cot-
ton and are. not advised if the
other materials can be obtained.
If they must be used, 4 parts of
hydrated lime should be thorough-
ly mixed with one pound of either
poison for dry application, this
amount to cover an acre, or 1V4
pounds of the lime mixture with
1V6 pounds of either poison in
50 gallons of water as a spray.
White arsenic, a mixture of
white arsenic and dry lime, or
white arsenic boiled in water with
sal soda oi caustic soda, are al-
most certain to burn the cotton
and the entomologist of A. & M.
College strongly adufSes against
their use. L ri"
In applying the materials in
spray- form, any manufactured
machinery suitable for the pur-
pose may be used. Growers in
many sections improvise their own
machinery from a spray pump
attached to a barrel, with plumb-
ing pipe used to form a boom,
supplied with tees and nozzles to
direct a spray downward over
each of three or five rows. These
are generally satisfactory for con-
trol of the leaf worm and are not
expensive.
Likewise, manufactured dusting
machinery is best for making dry
applications. However, for leaf
worm control, other cheaper and
more primitive methods of appli-
cation are usually effective. The
simplest form is a cheesecloth
bag, filled with poison and shaken
over the rows as one walks
along. One tied to each end of a
pole to hang over respective rows,
and shaken as one walks between
the rows, or held over a saddle
as one rides on horseback,
stick being used to hit the pole
and cause the poison to dust from
the bags, enables one to accom-
plish the work more rapidly. Still
another effective method is to
fasten a 2x4 across a cultivator
carriage, with bags attached to
accomodate three or five rows.
Blocks wired to the tires of the
wheels at intervals gives a jolt-
ing effect that shakes the poison
on the plants as the cultivator
ia drawn along the rows.”
Cong. Johnson
■BSXR
Beats Kirby and
Cook By 11,130
Although Congressman . Luthei
A. Johnson ran behind District
Judge H. F. Kirby in the Judicial
District of Freestone and Lime-
stone counties, he ran well ahead
of both Judge Kirby and hjoble
Cook in the 6th Congressional
District composed of Hill, Ellis,
Navarro, Limestone, Freestone,
Leon, Robertson and Brazos, re-
ceiving the nomination by a ma-
jority of 11,130 over both oppon-
ents. Two Yeats ago, Congress-
man Johnson won over four op-
ponents by over 12,000.
The -two extremes of the dis-
trict gave Congressman Johnson
the best percentages of vote.
Brazos county gave him 84 per
cent of the vote, and Ellis gave
him 7§ per cent of the vote cast
there.
In comparing the vote of two
years ago with that of this year,
it becomes apparent that there is
no permanent opposition to Con-
gressman Johnson, that although
he will lose votes to a favorite
son he will gain them back when
the favorite son is not running.
In 1936 there was a candidate
from Brazos county, and it went
against Johnson; in 1938, Brazos
county had no candidate, and it
went to Johnson overwhelmingly.
In 1936 there were two candidates
from Ellis county, and Congress-
man Johnson lacked two votes of
getting a majority; this year Ellis
county had no candidate and gave
Congressman Johnson a majority
of over 3700. In 1936 Limestone
county stayed in Johnson’s col-
umn despite the entry of Noble
Cook; in 1938, the combined op-
position of Judge Kirby and Noble
Cook moved Limestone and Free-
stone counties temporarily into the
opposition column.,

TO THE VOTERS OF
PRECINCT NO. 6:
From the very depths of my
heart I want to thank you for
the magnificent vote given me in
the first primary. Your loyalty
to me was more than I could
have asked for. My greatest de-
sire is that I may serve you as
an officer and a citizen in a way
that you will never have cause to
regret bestowing this honor on
me. The emoluments of this of-
fice are very small, but the
friends who represented my cause
are worth more than a fabulous
salary.
