All cattle producers should
make plans to attend one of
the -e meetings.
Hies are a real problem
during the summer months,
especially to dairy men. And
different flies cause differ-
ent problems. House flies do
not suck blood, but their pre-
sence causes annoyance and
contributes to unsanitary con-
ditions. House fly control can-
not be accomplished with
chemicals alone; therefore,
sanitation becomes the first
step in averting or reducing
a fly buildup. Use of insec-
ticides may then by relied
upon as a secondary measure.
Walls and ceilings of barns
and roofing sheds should be
teated with a good residual
Insecticide. Effective control
can be obtained by using dich-
lorvos pDVP) dimethoate
(Cygon), lindane, malathion,
methoxychlor, naled (Dlbrom)
or ronne^ (KorlanX Always
remove animals from build-
ings or lots when spraying.
Feed troughs should be cov
ered.
Restrictions on usage of in
sectlcldes In mllkrooms are
very tight. Only dichlorvos
(DDVP) or synerglzed pyre-
thrins are approved for this
purpose. They are applied
as space sprays, but dlchlor
vos Is also available In a
s'ow release resin strip.
Horr. flies are the most
common fly pest on the ani
mais. This insect spends
most of its time riding the
backs of animals, esfiecially
when they are in the pasture.
This blood sucker lowers
milk production when infesta-
tions go uncontrolled.
Insecticides for horn fly
contro' include melathion and
methoxychlor in dust form.
Letter
To The
Editor
The dust should only be ap-
plied after milking time or
more than five hours prior
to the next milking.
Three chemicals can tie
used as sprays..synerglzed
pyre'hrlns, dichlorvos and
Clodrin, Frequency of appli-
cation wil depend somewhat
on the -everiiy of the horn
fly problem.
Pyreihrins and dichlorvos
usually are applied as daily
mist sprays or fogs. Ciodrin
is applied either as a daily
mist spray or In heavier con-
centrations as a wet spray
or. a weekly basis.
Backrubbers for horn fly
control are especially useful
on dry cows and heifers and
may a'so be used on lacta-
ting cows. Either Ciodrin or
coumapho^ (Co-Ral) can be
used to charge the backrub-
ber.
In all cases, be sure to
avoid contamination of feed,
water and milking equipment.
Heavy rains over Cherokee
County have both hurt and
helped, but most agree that
they have helped more than
they hurt. Most damage, of
course, caine to vegetable
crops being harvested. Rains
interfere with harvesting, and
excess water uptake lowers
the quality in many cases.
Some hiy was on the ground
when it started raining and
much of this will be lost.
Some hay that has not been
cut yet win get too mature
and lose a lot of quality lie
fore it can be cut.
The rains are a big boost,
however, to hay and pasture
production In general. This
Will give a good supply of
moisture going into the sum -
mer months and insure sum-
mer forage. Additional fer-
tilizer may be needed to re-
place that leeched by rains.

FROM
THE LIONS
DEN
By: E. B. Mustek, Jr.
The program last Thurs-
day was a double deal affair.
First of all we were pri-
vileged to have Miss Eliza-
beth Craven, Assistant Co-
unty Home Demonstration A-
gent for Cherokee County,
bring our program for us.
Miss Craven told us many
things concerning her work
with the young people of our
county and ending by playing
a numbers game. It seems
that L ion Frank (jel'oro11)
Howell and l.lon John Barton
we-e top- In this game of
the mind. Can you Imagine
such a thing? What a revolt-
ing situation. But it was an
emjoyable game and program
and we appreciate Miss Cra-
ver, being with us.
The -econd part of the pro-
gram was the installation of
officers by I.ion W. E. Bai-
ley, a past President of the
Jacksonville Lions Club. L.lon
Bailey gave a very impres-
sive installation and we ap-
preciate so much his taking
time to come our way. The
new officers inducted were
President Ray Kendall; 1st
vice president Marshall Dear;
2nd vice president, L.J. Lein-
back; 3rd vice president. Jack
Fitts; Lion Tamer, T. W.
Parish; Tail Twister, Grady
Dupree; secretary - treasur
er, 1 eon Pledger; two new
directors \\„ D. Draper and
this one. We should aIIpledge
our support to Lion Ray Ken-
da'], our new president, and
make this the best year ever
for the Rusk Lions Club. Lion
Roberr von Doenhoffhas made
a really fine President and
much has t en accomplish-
ed this year. One of the best
things that was accomplish-
ed was combining the dues
and meals together. It sim-
ply means that now ou,r Club
is paying Its way as far as
dues are concerned where,
heretofore, we were going
In the ho'e financially each
month, paying dues to Lions
International for those that
did not pay.
After a few minutes in the
patient's room, the doctor
came out and asked the hue-
* band, "Do you have a cork-
« screw?" Five minutes later
« he was back again, this time
* to ask for a screwdriver.
4 Not 'ong after that, the doc-,
« tor emerged again to say
« that he needed a chisel and
« hammer. The distraught hus1-
« band, unable to stand the sus-
pense any longer, demanded
"For heaven's sake. Doctor,
tell me what's wrong with
my wife?" I can't tell you
yet," the doctor replied. "I'm
still trying to get my bag
open.''
See you Thursday at the
New Southern Hotel.

MAKING WAY
The drawbridge makes way for the boat to come into the city and down the
canal. Dredges make canals in open waters such as the gulf to make way for ships
to travel an inter-coastal waterway. Police officers and secret service men clear a
path in the crowds to make way for an important foreign potentate so that he might
arrive at his destination.
Church members are the ones who can clear the way, and show the right path
to those who have not found the way to our Lord.
Isaah 40:3B reads, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straiijlit in the desert
a highway for our God."
Support your church in every way you can. Ask someone to attend church with
you this week.
I^ar Editor;
Your editor's remarks on the
shooting of Bobby Kennedy,
as quoted In the "Dallas
Morning News" certainly
were true.
I'd like to quote the author
of the new book "The Death
of a Nation", John Stormer.
1 believe this aptly sums up
the situation tala y:
"America Is dying because
few ask why.
Why are tax dollars used to
pay the agitators and extre-
mists who start big city riots?
Why does the White House
Increase American trade with
the Soviet Union while So-
viet MIG's and mlssllies kill
American boys in Vietnam?
Why were Communists pire.
te« allowed to seize an Am-
erican ship and crew with no
retaliation?
Why did the Supreme Court
open America's public
schools to Communist teach-
ers while banning prayer and
Bible reading?
Why won't most Americana
get concerned until their own
son gets sent to Vietnam, •
mob hums down their house,
or their own wife gets mug-
ged or raped?"
You wculd do well to aak
yourself "why?",
