Everybody thrills to a long-distance call. And right this
minute there are probably a dozen of your close friends and
relatives who would get a big kick out of having you call
them long-distance.
You can put a long-distance call through to most places

The ever-increasing use ofma-
chines in the harvesting of
ton has also increased the
of defoliants and decants.
The success of the job,
Fred Elliot, extension cotton
ecialist, depends on several fac-
tors. These include the charac-
terics of the chemicals and the
rate and volume applied; meth-
od of application; climatic con-
ditions, especially moisture and
temperature, cultural practices,
such as fertilization and plant
density and the varieties grown.
Under conditions of normal
groth and with dew plentiful,
Elliot says calcium clyanamide
dust should give good results.
The material should be applied
when plants are wet with dew
and remain in leaf moisture for
at least two hours and prefer-
able four.
If dew is not present and with
present lower soil moisture
and windier conditions, the sp-
ecialist says amino triazole, En-
dothal and the various chlorates
work better. Good to excellent
results have been obtained from
a mixture—half the recommend-
ed rate of amino triazole with
one of the water soluble defol-
iants also at half the recommend-
ed rate—applied as a spray. This
new material acts as a growth re-
tarder and will be available for
use this year.
As desiccants for use in con-
• nection with stripper harvest,
Elliot recommends the use of
“Penta” formulations or Cotton
Defoliant 713-D. These are sug-

Purchase price of Texas farm
and ranch land in 1954 was two
percent more than in 1953, or
an average of $70.20 an acre.
Although this slight gain
presented a new price level,
number of sales dropped to
lowest level since 1940 and
acreage transferred was the smaf
lest in the land market record
history.

in agricultural
allotments and
