RAT CONTROL PLANNED
Rats are to some extent a
perennial problem to farmers
and home owners of Navarro
County. Reports of heavy infes-
tations of rats have come from
several communities. Howard
Long of Frost and J. C. Barton
at Rice both report a problem
In their areas.
Populations of rats can build
up very rapidly. On,e pair could
conceivably result in a rat pop-
ulation of 400,000,00 in only
three short years.
Arrangements are being made
for a community control cam-
paign in these two communities
on September 22. A county-wide
campaign will be conducted on
November 17 and 18.
These meetings will be under
the sponsorship of the County
Rodent Control Committee.
CHEMICAL WEED CONTROL
DEMONSTRATIONS SHOW
GOOD RESULTS
Final results of chemical weed
control demonstrations conduct-
ed on the Alon Gray pasture at
Kerens and on the C. J. Arm-
strong dairy at Emhouse can be
seen now. Markers have been

McCarter grain co.
placed on the plots so they can
be easily located. The plot on
Gray’s place is located south of
Kerens on Farm Road 309 and
the Armstrong demonstration is
between Emhouse and Cryer
Creek on Farm Road 1126.
Strips through these pastures
were sprayed with 2,4-D in the
iearly spring. Both Armstrong
and Gray are impressed with the
results. Not only these demon-
strators but others who have ob-
served results during the season
plan to use chemical weed con-
trol in their pastures next year.
Plans should be made well in
advance of the weed season. The
chemical should be applied prior
to the cotton planting season.
The applier and land owner
should be familiar with the pro-
visions of the Texas Herbicide
Law.
FUTURE PRICE TRENDS
OF INTEREST TO
LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS
Livestock producers are watch-
ing future price trends with in-
creasing interest with the big
build-up in cattle and hog num-
bers.
Agricultural economists look
for the movement of stocker-
feeders to be earlier in the wes-
tern states and at lighter weights
than last year and for the move-
blent from Texas to be later and
weights heavier than last year
because of excellent range con-
ditions. Prices of heavy feeders
that require a short feeding pe-

Imagine a truck ride so smooth and cushioned that fragile loads can travel the worst “wash-
board” roads with ease. Imagine a truck ride that virtually eliminates shimmy and wheel fight,
cuts side sway on curves, makes steering far steadier and easier, keeps drivers far fresher.
Imagine a truck ride that permits higher safe cruising speeds, more trips per day with all kinds
of cargo over every type of road surface. Imagine a ride that keeps up to 78% of all objection-
able road shock and vibration from ever reaching the driver and cargo, a design that sharply
reduces twisting and fatigue forces on chassis, cabs and bodies, that keeps trucks young for
extra thousands of miles, j Soon you won't have to just imagine such a ride. You can try it for
yourself in the trucks that do the next best thing to paving every road in America—new Chevrolet
trucks for 1960. You'll see what happens when Chevy's truck engineers design a whole new line of
trucks around a whole new kind of torsion-spring suspension. These trucks are new from the ride
on up—with wonderfully roomier cabs, brawnier frames, style that's fresh as sixty
and more! Don't decide on any new truck till you see the newest of all.
See them soon at your local authorized Chevrolet dealer’s.
