THE RIO GRANDE HERALD THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,1978 PAGE 4
ACTIVE YOUNG FARMER- James Peterson, an
outstanding young farmer and leader of our com-
munity, displays honesty, loyalty, and leadership
through his actions, deeds, and example. He is a
member of the First Baptist Church, takes time to help
youngsters in athletics and in the 4-H and FFA
organizations, in the Beef syndicate, in the Rio Grande
City Young Farmers, and officiates at football games
and lends a hand whenever and wherever he is able to.
He is active in the PTO of his children's school and is a
member of the Vocational Agriculture Advisory
Council. He still finds enough time to manage, with
expertise, one of the largest irrigated farms in the
area. James' extra curricular activities are highly
appreciated by the community, especially by the
youngsters who benefit the most from his hard work
and dedication to improve our community. James is a
graduate of RGC High School and Texas A&I. He is
married to Tissa, formerly of Kingsville. They have
three children, Kent, 11; Lori Lyn, 7; and Guy 3.

Brownie, Scout
Leaders Needed
Agriculture Commissioner
Reagn V. Brown has warned
cotton farmers in the Rio
Grande Valley that failure to
plow-up cotton in the area
, past the designated date is a
violation of the law.
Brown said some growers
in the area were not com-
plying with the regulation
"and unless we have better
cooperation, we will be
forced to file charges against
the violators."
The mandatory planting
and plow-up dates are set by
the Texas Department of
Agriculture (TDA) to en-
force provisions of the Pink
Bollworm Control Program.
All producers in Starr,
Hidalgo, Willacy and
Cameron counties were to
have completed plow-up by
August 31, although TDA
granted a number of ex-
tensions to individuals whose
crops had been delayed this
year.

for about half an hoif
legitimate reason why their
plow-up operations have
been delayed, we will cer-
tainly do everything we can
to help work out a solution,"
Brown said. "But in some
cases, there is no legitimate
excuse. In those cases, we
will be forced to leave the
decision up to the courts
unless the fields are plowed
up immediately."
Brown said farmers who
did not cooperate with the
program, which is designed
to eradicate the costly cotton
pest, were "not only hurting
themselves, but their neigh-
bors.
"Plowing up the stalks
prevents the bollworms from
over-wintering in the fields,"
Brown explained.
"Bollworms are resistant to
any type of chemical control,
which makes these cultural
control practices vitally
important to the entire
industry in the area."

Sandefer Reports: BUy Hay Now.. .Or Later
If you need additional hay
to winter your livestock,
should you buy it now or plan
to buy it during the winter,
when needed?
Making a decision to "buy
hay now" versus "buying it
when needed in the winter"
involves numerous un-
certainties. These include
hay and pasture growing
conditions during the
remainder of the year, the
amount of hay on hand from
the previous year, and the
severity and length of the
coming winter.
Making a decision to buy
hay now versus later should
reflect the comparison of the
cost of buying now and
storing until the feeding
season against the anti-
cipated cost of hay pur-
chased during the feeding
season, points ou*. David
Sandefer, county agent
withthe Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
From 1966 to 1976, the
average price received by
Texas farmers for all hay
tended to be lower in the
May-July period, with ob-
vious exceptions in 1971 and
1975.
As a basis for evaluating
the alternatives of buying
now and buying later, the
highest and lowest monthly
price during May-July
period in each year was
compared with the highest
monthly price in the
January-February periods
of the next year.
The prices indicate that
from 1966-1976, if the hay
were purchased at the
highest monthly price during
the May-July period and
financed at 9 percent, the
average cost would have ben
$1.85 per ton less than if
bought at the highest
monthly price in the suc-
ceeding January or
February. In three out of the
11 years, the hay could have
been purchased cheaper in
January or February.
Over the same time
period, if the hay were
purchased at the lowest
monthly price during the
May-July, (assuming a 9
percent interest rate on
money invested in the hay),
