This is farm safety week and
farm families are reminded to
inventory the safety hazards on
their premises make needed
correctfons and examine their
working habits to insure safe
.practices.
Farming is the third most
hazardous occupation in this
country which i exceeded only
by mining and cmwtructton
work. Farm machinery In the
biggeet killer on the farm as
about 85 per cent of the acci-
dents come from this source.
Nearly one-half of the fatal ac-
cidents associated with mach-
inery occur during the busy
farm work season Mfcy through
August.

Curtis Edwards and B. A.
Grisham of Troy both report
perfect results from spraying
fence row sprouts with 2 4 5-
T and diesel oil. '
Edwards cut the sprouts off
at the ground and treated the
stumps with a squirt can. The
can has a long spout which elim-
inates the need of stooping
when making the aplication.
Asps are being reported in
shade trees over the county. J.
M. Miller of Killcen has several
Hackberry trees heavily infest-
ed with this pest. The asp is
capable of inflicting a serious
sting plus damage to the foliage
of the trees. Actually the asp is
a .fuss Caterpillar with hair
like spines filled with poison.
When the body of the caterpil
lar is pressed against the skin
it is pricked with the spines.
Some of the spines are pulled
out and others are broken off.
The asp can be controlled by
spraying the foliage with Tox-
aphene DDT or Lead Arsen-
ate. Late season cotton insect con-
trol should be finished by Aug-
ust 1 if fair weather contin

ing all of the fruit which hey
can support with present mois-
ture conditions. An effort to
save all of the squares from in-
sect damage is not feasible since
the plant will probably throw
them off anyway.
Some of the producers are
wondering if it would be prof-
itable to start poisoning for a
top-crop in the event of favor-
able moisture. If a cotton plant
already has some large bolls it
will seldom react to an im-
proved moisture condition. On
the other hand cotton without
bolls will usually react after a
rain. Poisoning for a top-crop
is seldom protitable.
Farmers Beware
Of Illegal
Seed Hucksters
The springtime peddlers of
"bargain basement seed are
again at work trying to dupe
unwary Texas farmers into the
purchase of their illegal and
doubtful wares.
Texas Department of Agri-
culture inspectors are trackiiur
down all leads into operations of
ily-by-night seed hucksters re-
portedly operating with in the
state whose misrepresented
seed is a potential menace to
farmers.
Under the state's agricultural
laws all field seed offered for
sale in Texas must bear a Texas
Tested Seed Tag regardless of
where the seed comes from.
Tim tag gives required infor-
mation as to the value and
qualities of the seed and the
name and address of the person
or grower offering it for sale.
The exception is an individual
farmer's seed production when
not advertised outside his home
county nor transferred by com-
mon carrier.
The seed salesmen in ques-
tion says the state commis-
sioner of agriculture are oper-
ating in violation of the law by
offering unregulated seed for
sale in Texas. These salesmen
often operate as truckers with
stock samples from which the
unwary farmer may book for
future delivery. The unregulat
ed 3eed which they actually de-
liver could be below official tol-
erance levels in fertility and
purity and also contain a harm-
ful percentage of noxious weed

Congratulations to Albert
Volney of Bartlett for having
the first grain sorghum har-
vested in Bell County.
Yellowing San Augustine
Grass has been a problem for
W.A. Sallee of Belton. The con-
dition is caused by an iron de7
ficiency due to the high lime
content of the soil. A spray
containing one teaspoon of iron
chelates per gallon of water will
eliminate this condition.
