Guaranteed markets for castor
bean- and cucumbers were dis-
cussed at the regular monthly
meeting of the Bastrop Chamber
of Commerce held Tuesday after-
noon in the C of C offices. Re-
ports on both enterprises were
made by County Agent D. B. Mc-
Combs and Cecil Ling. People
interested in planting either of
these crops may obtain complete
information from the county
agent's office or the Chamber of
Commerce.
Mr. McCombs reported that the
prospects of obtaining a veteri-
narian to locate permanently in
Bastrop were good, and Mr. Long
discii-scd the efforts of the or-
ganization to establish a market
for surplus milk in this vicinity,
and encouraged the idea of estab-
lishing family size dairies in the
county.
Pians were made for the adver-
tising f Maude's Minstrel's,
whn:i will be presented in the
near future by the Chamber of
Commerce, for the benefit of the
Ba trop County Youth Fair.
Mr. Maude Herndon, C of C
manager, reported 29 new families
moving to Bastrop in the past two

to thi fact thai OPS forms and
inf i mat ion w ere available at the
C of C office, and that Jack
Gr i senbeck and Ed Gahan were

explaining regulations to them.
The Chambei of Commerce, with
ltK' percent vote of members pre-
set', went on record as favoring

date postponed
I Because of the interscholastic
activities centering around the
weekend of March .'10, necessitat-
ing the absence of several mem
bers of the cast, a new date for
the showing f Maude's Minstrels
will be set later, according to
Mrs. Maude Herndon, director.
The minstrel, presenting its
third annual performance, will be
sponsored by the Bastrop Cham-
ber of Commerce, with the pro-
! coeds to go to the Bastrop County-
Youth Fair.
A CORRECTION
Through a slight misunder-
'anding, an error was made in
'he classified ad submitted us by
I'om Chalmers last week, in which
he advertised a power mower for
sale. The mower is brand new,
has not been used, and is for
*ale at a very reasonable price.
The Advertiser -'ated last week
that the mower was a used one.
Anyone interested in purchasing
a new mower, may contact Mrs.
< 'halmers.

It is with heart-felt appreciation
•hat we -ay "THANK YOU" to
our many friends whose kind
deeds and words of good cheer,
cards, and flowers have meant

cut ants can
be controlled
The Texas leaf-cutting ant is
a serious agricultural pest in
many sections of the state. It
causes < xtensive damage to gar-
dens, field crops, fruit and shade
tiees and forestry seedlings. The
pest can be successfully controll-
ed, say s Darius B. McCombs,
County Agent, with methyl bro-
mide.
The methyl bromide is packaged
in one pound cans and comes in
a liquid form. A special band-
type applicator is needed for gett-
ing the chemical into the ant
colony. As an aid, a rubber tube
three to four feet long should
be attached to the applicator. This
tube is thrust six to twelve inches
into one of the openings near
the center of the colony and held
in place with the foot while the
can is being opened.
I'he liquid changes immediately
to a gas when the car. is punc-
tured and, since it is heavier than
air. flows to the bottom of the
chamber. One can of the material
is usually sufficient to wipe out
the average colony*. He warns
against spilling the chemical on
the skin or inhaling its vapors
when the application is being
made, for it is poisonous.
Colonies should be treated now
because at this time of the year,
the ants are concentrated in fho
central colony and are more easily
controlled. Then too, the colonies
are weaker and no young queen-,
or new ants are being produced.
The queens arc usually together
and since they are the only ants
that lay eggs, killing them will
help to exterminate the colony
Methyl bromide is not recom-
mended for controlling household
atit) red ants, too expensive, and
chlordane is very effective en
these pests.
A new leaflet, l«-12x, has been
released by the Texas Extension
Service that covers the details of
the methyl bromide treatment,
you may get n copy from your
local county agents office.
