on the scene in several areas
of the state in recent weeks.
“Army worms generally
appear in late summer and
early fall where lush growth
appears In grasses and for-
age crops,” explains Dr. John
Thomas, entomologist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service. *Small grains plant-
ed for fall and winter graz-
ing are especially susceptible
to damage. Plants can be
stripped of their foliage in
short order.”
Amy worms reach a length
of about 11/2 inches when ma-
ture. Young worms are less
than one-half Inch long. Their
color ranges from pale green
to almost black. Thomas ex-
plains that the worms have two
characteristic markings.
Three parallel yellow lines
extend along the back. A
prominent white inverted “Y”
also appears on the front of the
worm’s head.
According to the entomolo-
gist, army worms can be ef-
fectively controlled If mea-
sures are taken as soon as
infestations appear, flying
1 1/4 pounds of Sevin (80
percent wettable powder) per
acre usually gives adequate
control. Toxaphene at 3
pounds of actual material per
acre is also effective but there
can be no grazing by dairy
animals or animals that will
be slaughtered in 56 days.
Parathion and methyl par-
athlon can also be used but
have a 15 day-waiting period
prolr to grazing or harvesting.
Both are extremely hazardous
to applicators and are subject
to drift. Thomas cautions pro-
ducers to follow the manu-
facturer’s directions on the
label of any of these materials.
Army worms are mainly
night-feeders but are also ac-
tive on cloudy days. Grasses
should be Inspected frequently
and carefully to detect army
worms activity, especially
during cool, wet weather.

then compressed by entry and
departure of trucks over the
waste. When the pit Is full,
12 Inches of earth is spread
over the landfill and planted
to grass. The refuse is hid-
den and the area looks like
the surrounding country side.
Some land fills are turned into
recreation areas. Thus an _
open dump is avoided along 2
with flies and desease.
A study is presently under-
way in Nocona to use two
abandoned gravel pits for
solid waste disposal. Though
plans are still in the preli-
minary stages, it Is reason-
able to assume that a work-
able solution can be attained.
City Manager, Bill Yeargin
and John Simmons of the Soil
Conservation Service have
been working on the feasibility
of using the old pits for some-
time. There are still some
problems yet to be worked
out, such as standing water,
necessary equipment and
change over costs. Yeargin
is well aware that present
methods of solid waste dis-
posal cannot continue long.
Cily trash service should not
be affected.
Currently persons wishing
to take their own trash to
the dump often do not dump
the trash properly. Open
dumping inevitably leads to
pollution. But in a larger mea-
sure what is involved Is the
growing awareness of the pro-
blem and the subsequent de-
sire to clean up the environ-
ment while adding to the self-
respect of the community.

Even though Inflation cut
deeply into purchasing power
in the past year, eliminating
a large part of the income
gain, consumers in the local
area were less constrained in
their spending than those in
many parts of the country.
As a result, even though
they were more cautious with
their money than normally,
they made it a good year for
local merchants, who had a
sales volume of $24,782,000,
as compared with the previous
year’s $24,016,000.
The improvement In buying
power, locally and elsewhere,
did not produce proportionate
increases In spending on the
part of consumers, the re-
ports show.
Because of their uncertainty
as to where the economy was
heading, what with the war
still going on and with in-
flation and unemployment on
the rise, they adopted a wait
and see attitude, meanwhile
putting more of their money
into savings.
The net result Is that local
consumers have a bigger
reservoir of funds than usual
to turn to. They will bring
them out and return to the
marketplace in force when
they regain confidence.

NEW YORK. - Montague
County proved to be a com-
paratively strong market dur-
ing the past year, according
to a national survey of bus-
iness activity, just released.
Despite the fact that the
country was going through a
period of recession, which af-
fected every corner of the na-
tion, the local area’s economy
held up relatively well. Just
how well is to be seen in
its income and consumer
spending figures.
The details are contained In
the new, copyrighted “Survey
of Buying Power,” issued by
Sales Management, a market-
ing publication. It analyzes
communities in every section
of the country with respect
to their family earnings,
spending and growth potential.
In Montague County, it
shows, the level of income was
high in the year. Local resi-
dents had net earnings, after
and in a milder form humans.
Federal, State and local offi-
cials are marshalling their
forces in determined efforts
to provide large-scale mos-
quito control where these
pests are a problem.
Area control programs con-
sisting of larviciding, spray-
ing and fogging can effectively
reduce mosquito populations.
Individual homeowners can
help greatly to destroy mos-
quitoes and possibly prevent
the spread of VEE by elimina-
tion mosquito breeding areas
on or near their own pre-
mises.
Mosquitoes cannot hatch un-
less they are in water, so
all standing water should be
eliminated. Mosquitoes fre-
quently breed in commonly
overlooked containers such as
old tires, tin cans, jars, tubs,
birdbaths, unused fishponds,
evaporative coolers, or even
on a flat roof where water
accumulates. Also, septic
tanks and cisterns are ideal
breeding places unless they
are kept tightly covered. Such
areas should be carefully eli-
minated. Standing puddles can
be treated with a household
insecticide or a small quan-
tity of kerosene or disel fuel,
but avoid treating animal’s
drinking water or utensils.
Spraying shrubbery, eaves

from entering homes.
