grass that he is well satisfied
with Coastcross I is a new hy-
brid developed by the Costal
Plain Experiment Station at
Tifton, Georgia This grass is a
cross between coastal bermuda-
grass and a new introduction
from South Africa. It is corn
pletely sterile, grows taller end ;
has broader leaves than costal
Yields are about the same as for
coastal but it has be, nil to 12 j
per cent higher in digestability
than coastal. Theoretically, has- j
ed on the same volume of irv
take, animal daily gains should
be about 30 per cent higher.

SCREWWORMS
Screw-worms in DeWitt County
can be expected until at least
the first killing frost. To date
we have had 105 confirmed cases
in the county with nine in Sep-
tember.
We advise livestock owners to
postpone animal surgery, spray
their herds, treat all wounds and
watch their animals closely for
cases. Submit specimen of sus-
pected cases to Mission imme-
diately.
FAIT. CHRYSANTHEMUMS
Poor results with hardy chry-
santhemums can usually be at-
tributed to the following causes:
Improper location of bed, low
soil fertility, improper watering
methods or diseased plants
Most mum varieties have initia-

duced buds, there is little you
can do this year except try to
find out what Is wrong and cor-
rect the problem next year. This
may involve starting with new
plants in another location.
Moving diseased plants to a
new location only complicates
the difficulty.
In choosing a location for your
mum bed, select one with full
sunlight throughout the day,
good air circulation, well-drain-
ed soil, and in an area that is
free of competitive tree roots.
Study your watering methods.
A good thorough soaking every
few days is much more effective
than a light watering each eve-
ning. Avoid wetting the foilage
as wet foilage is conductive to
many leaf diseases.
RE POT HOUSE PLANTS
Late summer is the ideal time
to re-pot house plants. A good
soil mix for potting house
plants may he made by mix-
ing two parts of good garden
loam, two parts of peat moss,
and one part sand. Well rotted
manure or shredded leaf mold
may be substituted for the peat
moss. Garden soil is usually not
suitable for potting plants be-
cause it is usually too low in
organic matter. The mixture
described above provides the
three things most needed by
plotted plants: support, good
soil aeration, and ability to hold
adequate moisture and nutrients.
In order to kill disease organ-
isms, insects, and weed seeds,
the soil mixture should be
sterdized This can be accom-
plished by placing the soil mix-
ture in a shallow pan and then
placing it in an oven preheated
to 200 degrees F for thirty min-
utes. The soil should be mois-
tened before placing in the oven
As soon as the soil cools, you
can use it to pot new’ plants,
or rest old ones. Always use
clean tools and new’ pots or you
will reinfect the soil with harm-
ful organisms. Used clay pots
should be given the same sterili-
zation treatment as the soil.
Plastic pots should be washed
thoroughly in hot soapy water.
A similar and much easier
way to handle pot plants in the
home is to purchase the prepar-
ed mixes available in your nur-
sery or garden supply center.
I PESTICIDE CONTALNERS
I •
j Care in handling chemical
1 pesticides and equipment now
can help prevent costly accidents
for farmers and ranchers in De-
Witt County.
Most producers have made
their last applications this year
and extra care should be taken
before sto ee of leftovers for
the winter. Labels are put on
containers to - be read. They
should be read for time lag be-
fore harvest and any special
requirements for storage. Some
pesticides have warnings about
low-temperature storage and oth-
er requirements.
"Empty chemical containers
can be a source of danger to
humans, livestock and wildlife^
All remnants of chemicals
should be dumped into a deep
dug pit in level sandy soil and
located to avoid contamination
of water.
Conbustible containers can be
burned, but care should be taken
to stay a considerable distance
from the fire because of toxic
smoke. Crushing and burying
combustible containers is also
a recommended method of dis-
"The peak period of ten-ace
construction for the entire year
is being reached at a rapid
rate,” states Clifford Haun, Com
servation Technician with the
Soil Conservation Service head-
quartered at Cuero, over the en-
tire DeWitt County Soil and
Water Conservation District.
“Only a few fields have hay to
be harvested before the con-
servation work can begin,”
states Haun.

The Beulah storm that brought
the flooding conditions just a
little over a year ago has caused
many landowners to become
more aware of the conservation
treatment needed for their land.
Soil Conservation Service techni-
cians are scheduling their time
as closely as possible to assist
a maximum number of landown-
ers who are requesting their
services. SCS gives priority' for
their technical services to land-
owners who have made arrange
ments with the contractor of
their choice for getting the need
led conservation land treatment
measures applied to their land
Several farm ponds have been
posal .
Large containers such as
drums or barrels should be
washed thoroughly and rinse
water buried. The drums and!
barrels should be returned to the
supplier or sold to a firm which ;
can neutralize the toxicity of the
chemicals. Equipment used to j
apply chemical pesticides can be
dangerous because they are i
usually stored where livestock j
or feed are kept.
Equipment should be thorough-!
iy cleaned before storing for the J
winter.
built over the area recently. In
the Lindenau area ponds have
been finished for Edgar Natho,
Edwin Frers and J. M. How-
ard. Edwin Kahlich and Roy Lee
Kuester, who have farms in the
same area are planning for
farm pond construction in the
future.

Drainage work has been de-
layed by a lack of contractors
to do the construction work and
by the fact that the areas need-
ing drainage are often too wet
to be worked satisfactorily.
Landowners having drainage
work to be done need to keep
the contractor of their choice
notified as to the soil conditions
existing so that the work can be
scheduled and completed.
