4-H Club Boys
To State 4-H
Club Round-Up
By J. H. PRITCHARD
Freestone County Agent
Charles Robinson, of Stewards
Mill, and ' Warren Await of
Kirvin, with the county agent,
are attending the State 4-H
Club Round-up at A. - and M.

Cotton Poisoning Time
The early season cotton in-
sect' control' program, which
many farmers think is by far
the most profitable practice in
controlling insects, has started.
Many farmers are poisoning
their oatton to get rid of thrips,
flee hoppers, grasshoppers,
and boll weevils. Several fields
were inspected by the agent
last week and each field was
in need of control measures.
The ca. iy season program should
be completed by June 15th In
roder to allow the beneficial
insects ample time to build up
in numbers to combat the boll
worm which usually appears in
the cotton field about the sec-
ond week in July. Recommended
insecticides for early season in-
sect cotnrol are Toxaphene, Al-
drin, DieLcirin, Endrin and
Heptachlor.
Grasshoppers Doing Damage
Several farmers have reported
grasshopper damage the last
lew days. This insect may be
cotnrolled by spraying with
toxaphene or chlordane. Control
of this Insect is outlined in the
Cotton Insect Control Guide
which may be .obtained from
the county agent.
' Bag-worms on your Arbor-vl-
taes? They can be controlled by
spraying with Chlordane, Toxa-
pheen or lead Arsenate.
Rose bushes should be dusted
after each rain for leaf spot,
black spot and mildiew. Com-
mercial preparation asre avail-
able for this purpose and con-
toln sulfur and a fungicide.
Most drug stores and. feed
stores have this material.

to have been a robbery attempt.

the show and was just walking
out of an inner office for home
when he met a “tall slim” man.
“The man placed the gun in
my ribs,” said Floyd. “It scared
me and I attempted to turn and
run. The intruder shot me and
knocked me to my knees. Evi-
dently scared himself, the in-
truder left. The shot sounded
like a cannon. He must have
left by a back door.”
"Burglars have torn a rear
door open several times and en-
tered the theatre,” said Fau-
bion. “One time recently they
stole two water pump from my
cooling system.”
City Marshal Addison Blake-
ley investigated. Marshal Blake-
ley found a .38 cal. bullet in
an adjoining room. It had evi-
dently pierced Faubion’s arm.

Field Work Started
On Measuring _
Allotment Crops
NORMAN H. LAMBERT
Co. Office Mgr.
Freestone County ASC
Reporters from this office have
started the work of measuring
allotment crops in the county.
This work is to be carried out
on 1821 cotton and peanut farms.
We want; to complete this work
as economical and in as short
time as possible. In order for
ius to dt> this we are asking, as
we have in the past, the coop-
eration of all farm operators.
An allotment farm must... be
measured before the farm Is
eligible for a marketing card
In order for a farm to be
eligible for a marketing card
the farm must be within the al-
loted acreage.
Farmers having farms with
an excess cotton acreage wil.
be given 20 days from the date
notice of measured acreage is
post marked in which to destroy
the excess acreage.
In order for the producer to
get the excess acreage pre-
measured he must deposit with
the County ASC Committee
$5.00 per farm plus $2.00 -for
each plot over one This re-
quirement is strictly optional.
All farms having t: an excess
acreage must be checked by a
representative from this office
in order fo determine the als-
position of the excess acreage.
A charge of $3.00 per farm plus
$2.00 for each plot over one
must be deposited by the farm-
ex with the County ASC Com-
mittee.
Any fanner who is not satis-
fied with his measured acre-
age may get a recheck by de-
positing $3.00 per farm plus
$1.00 for each plot over one
with the County ASC Commit-
tee. In case of cotton if the sec-
ond check reveals an error suf-
ficient enough over the first
measurement to bring the farm
hack within the allotment, the
farmer’s money will be refund-
ed. In case of peanuts if the sev-
ond check reveals an error of
three percent (3%) of the ori
ginal measurement the deposit
will be refunded.
Over planted farms are not
eligible for price support even
if the penalty is paid. They
are also not eligible for cost
share under the 1954 ACP pro
gram.
The penalty for the excess
cotton farm will be 50% of
parity as of June 14, 1954 on
the excess acreage.

Land Big Cat
At Springfield
Fifty pounds of channel cat-

did Monday when they caught
a 50-pound catfish at Spring-
field.

both wet from top to bottom af-
ter struggling for several
minutes to get the big fish oH
the line and into the boat.

The second Memorial Day
Service held at Teague's Green-
wood Cemetery was attended in
large numbers by both locat
and out of town people: Th<;
idea of holding this service an-
nually has firmly taken hold
and greater interest and afteud-
ance was shown this year. The
service has now become a fix-
ture and it will be held on the
first Sun-nay in June each year.
This being Decoration Day at
our cemetery, most of the
graves were decorated with
flowers placed there by loving
hands as a testimonial of the
love and affection held for de-
parted friends and loved ones.
At 2:30 o’clock, Bill Boyd,
president of the Cemetery As-
sociation, called the meeting' to
order. Rev. Herbert L. McKis-
sack, pastor of the Eighth Ave-
nue Baptist Church, delivered
the invocation. Johnnie Stover
was presented as the song
lea>oer and Mrs. Stover was at
the organ.
Mr. Boyd invited the entire
audience to join in the singing
which they did and three ap-
propriate religious hymns were
sung.
Rev. L. Audrey Thomas, pas-
tor of the First Baptist church,
brought an inspirational mes-
sage.
Mr. Boyd spoke briefly about
the organization and work of
the Cemetery Association, point-
ing out that every lot owner
was automatically a-member of
the Association and that it was
the payment of annual diues by
these members which enabled
the Association to pay for the
work of keeping the cemetery
in good condition. He remind-,
ed that the Association’s fiscal
year ran from August 1st to
July 3lst instead of being on a
calendar year basis ano' that
bills for membership dues were,
sent out by the Secretary on or
about August 1st of each year.
He urged the prompt and con-
tinuous financial support and
cooperation of each lot owner,
most of whom, this year have
paid their annual dues.
Mr. Boyd thanked all those
who had. contributed to the
fund to build the brick building
to be used as an office for the
sexton and as a place to house
the tools and equipment. He
also thanked all who- has as-
sisted in the arrangements for
the memorial service. He re-
minded that each year the pas-
tor of one of the local churches
who was a resident of Teague
would be asked to deliver the
memorial address. Last year it
was delivered by the Rev. L. E.
Williams, pastor of the Meth-
odist church.
After singing God Be With
You Till We Meet Again and a
benediction by Rev. Lester Bain,
the service was concluded.
Much complimentary comment
was heand about the fine ser-
vice, the excellent job the As-
sociation was doing in keeping
the cemetery in good condition
at all, times, and about the
handsome little brick building
which had been constructed.
