A collegiate friend of mine says all those barefoot

students with blisters on each foot from walking all
over the campus trying to get registered.
The number of pages we have for pictures and news
depends directly on the amount of advertising in your
home town newspaper.
We had a multitude of good pictures we wish we
had been able to run this week. Perhaps we can run
them during the next few weeks.

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES - Many newspapers, including this
one, are occasionally criticized for their typographical errors.
If you think we’re bad, you should read some of the mistakes in
the others. For instance:
A man ended up in hospital after coming into contact with a
"life wife”; The bride wore "a white gown with punk trimmings;
"For sheer tricks, fight and stamina, give me a small-mouthed
lass at sundown”; Let us honor these "batted-scared war vet-
erans"; “Tne speaker reviewed the book, 'Three Little Pigs
Stayed Home’. There were twenty-seven at the meeting”; At
the end of the ceremony all of the guests lined up "to miss the
bride”.
Even photo editors occasionally make blunders. A Kansas City
paper, for example, ran two pictures one day on its front page,
one of a society lady, the other of a vacant lot that had recently
been occupied by an old building. The captions were reversed,
the one under the society lady reading "Old Eyesore Gone.”
-Hereford Brand
A noteworthy note: If anyone wants to see what has happened
to the dollar in the last 30 years, he has but to take a look at the
following official government figures which show the purchasing
power of a dollar at five-year intervals.
1939 - 100 cents; 1944 - 79 cents; 1949 - 58 cents; 1954 - 52
cents; 1959 - 48 cents; 1964 - 45 cents; 1969 - 37 cents.
"Doctor, I can’t understand why I get so many headaches. I
don’t drink, smoke, stay out late, or even bother with women.
What’s wrong, Doc?”
"Perhaps,” replied the doctor, “your halo is on too tight,”
Evte: "I don’t like to repeat gossip, but...”
Kathy: “I know, but what else cap you do with it?”
A motorist was telling about the trouble he’s had driving to
and from work lately. B used to be easy, he said. No traffic
problem, no mad rat race. But now - wowl Cars coming from
all directions.
"And it’s been that way,” he added, "ever since I got my
new glasses.”
Didja hear about the wife who complimented her
husband saying, ‘‘In every emergency you are de-
pendable as the Rock of Gibraltar . . miles away and
stoned.”

COTTON TALKS
KOM PlSIftJt conow MOtMII, INC.
Chemicals, planes and
people were in place to
start this week an aer-
ial insecticide appli-
cations in the seventh
year of the Imposing
High plains Diapause
Boll Weevil Program.
Involved this year are
18 spray planes, some
150,000 acres of cotton,
several tank cars of
bulk malathion and over
100 people Including pil-
ots, flag men, monitors
and entomologists.
Spraying will cover
weevil Infested cotton in
parts of 15 counties stret-
ching over 200 miles
along the eastern and
southern edges of the
concentrated cotton pro-
duction area on the
Plains. Counties In the
four ‘ units” of the con-
trol zone include Bris-
coe, Borden, Crosby,
Dickens, Dawson, Floyd,
Garza, Hall, Kent, Lynn,
Lubbock, Motley, How-
ard, Martin, Andrews and
Dickens.
The program for six
years has been success-
fully prevented weevils
from becoming es-
tablished cotton pests on
the Plains by stopping
migration from the East
and South. Entomologists
contend the program has
saved High Plains cot-
ton growers up to $30
per acre per year in
control costs, quality
and yield losses.
Following the proven
pattern of past years,
spraying in the first two
applications will be on a
five to seven day sched-
ule, using 12 ounces per
acre of ultra low vol-
ume malathion. These
first applications tend to
break the weevil’s re-
productive cycle and
greatly reduce popula-
tions later in the season
The control zone is
broken into four units.
Spray contracts were let
to the low bidder on each
of the four. The smallest
of the units, at the north-
ern end of the zone, went
to Esslinger Spraying
Service of Marion, Kan-
sas, on a bid of $.82
per gallon of insecticide
applied.
Contract for Units two,
three and four were let
to D & D Flying Ser-
vice of Rantoul, Kansas,
on a low bid of $1.62
per gallon. Both are new
contractors in the Plains
program and both bids
are below contracts let
in 1969 at $1.92 and $1.65
respectively.

J.W. Grizzle, retired
Baptist minister, con-
ducted the memorial ser-

settlers as people who
"had a vision and de-
nied themselves to see
it was accomplished.”
Janet Smith of Salem,
Oregon, who came to this
area in 1909, won the
prize for coming the
longest distance to the
Reunion. Charlie Mc-
Dermett was the earl-
iest settler present,
coming to Crosby County
in 1890. He has lived
here about 75 of the 80
years since.
