Screwworm
Is Victim Of
New Strategy
COLLEGE STATION, fee-:. 30
—Scientists of the Texas Exten-
sion Service, co-operating with
the United States bureau of ento-
mology and plant quarantine, are
catching up with the destructive
.screwworm.
E. C. Gushing, senior entomol-j
ogist of the Bureau of -Menard;
who traced out the source of the
past, says "screwworms are
pulling more dollars from the
• pockets of ranchmen than is
any other known livestock para-
it^ or disease." But 25 years of
research, he adds, has definitely
■letermined that 90 per cent of 1
the screwworm Cases originated
from the eggs of one species of
,fly that can survive only in
wounds of living, warm-blooded
animals.
COLLEGE STATION, Dec. 30
^—A policy for encouraging and
planning efficient use and con-
servation of all the state's agri-
cultural resources' was adopted by
the State Land Use Planning
Comlnittee at its recent meeting
held in Mineral Wells. The poli-
cy was approved "to the end that
people engaged ini agriculture! in
the state may have opportunity to
provide for themselves a standard
of living comparable with that
available to persons engaged in
other occupations," according to
Director H. H. Williamson, direc-
tor of the Texas A. and M. Col-
lege Extension Service, who is
chairman of the committee.

It is the strength of men and wo-

The contract evolved by the
Texas Dairy Products Association
provides that the breeder 'furnish
without cost to a selected boy,
a bull calf of individual merit
and passing necessary production
requirements to meet registra-
tion standards as set out by the
Jersey Cattle Cluib of America on
January 1, 1942.
The boy in his part agrees to
feed and care for the calf in'such
manner as to insure its maximum
growth and development. l'n
this he agrees to follow the re-
commendations of his club lead-
er, Vocational Agriculture teach-
er or County Agent. He agrees
also to exhibit his calf at any
designated! livestock or dairy
fhows in his county or district
wherei a special class for club
bull is scheduled. !
Title to the animaf is vested in
the breeder until termination of
the contract in the fall cf 1042 at
which time the bull will be sold
at public auction with breeder and
dub boy sharing equally in the
net profits. It is also provided
that the bull may by mutual con-
sent, be sold at any time after
January 1', 1941, or that the boy
may at any time exercise his
••ption to purchase the breeder's
interest, thereby terminating the
agreement.

Asserting that some European
nations which had noninterven-
tion pacts with Germany had been
"attacked, overrun and thrown in-
to the modem form of slavery,"
Mr. Roosevelt added that the fate
of these nations tells us what it
means to live at the point of a
Nazi gun.
He slapped at the Nazis for
"pious frauds" one of which is
to occupy a nation for the purpose
of "restoring ordei."
"Would Germany hesitate to
say to any South American coun-
try, 'We are occupying you to pro-
tect you from aggression by the
'United States?'
"Any South American country
in Nazi hands would always con-
stitute a jumping off place for a
German attack on any one of the
other republics in the hemis-
phere."
No Nation can appease the Naz-
is, he declared.

"A dictated peace would be no
all, he said. It would only be
another armistice leading to the
most gigantic armament race and
the most devastating trade wars in
history. And in these contests
the Americans would offer the
only real resistance to the axis
powers," he said.
The Nazis, ha said, often have
proclaimed their superiority to
other races, adding that it was a
dangerous form of wistful think-
ing to assume that the axfs pow-
ers had no desire to attack this
hemisphere.
"And most important," he add-
ed, "the vast resources and wealth
of this hemisphere, constitute the
most tempting loot in all the
world."
