Com crop tests find little aflatoxin
By Kathleen Davis
Tests on 1991 Texas com crop
samples are finding very little afla-
toxin, and continued good results
are expected as harvest proceeds.
"We've got good news so far,"
said Dr. George Latimer, Texas
state chemist. "The initial reports
show infestation in com is spotty,
and we’ve had no problems with
sorghum as of the end of August."
More than 80 percent of the com
and other feed samples analyzed
thus far have less than 20 parts per
billion (ppb) aflatoxin, according to
Latimer. Seventeen percent of the
samples ranged from 20-300 ppb,
levels which limit the use of the
commodities as feed. Only one
sample exceeded 300 ppb.
The Office of the State Chemist,
a unit of the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station, has examined
111 samples of com and other feed
products taken from 38 counties
since July. The unit's annual sam-
pling of the Texas feed com crop is
about half complete.
Aflatoxin, a potent carcinogen, is
produced by a fungus which may
attack com, sorghum, peanuts and
cottonseed. It often takes up resi-
dence in kernels of com that have
suffered through high temperatures
or drought in the growing season.
The Texas com harvest began in
July but is lagging behind somewhat,
according to the Texas Agricultural
Statistics Service in Austin. About 55
percent of the crop had been har-
vested by Sept. 3. Usually by that date
64 percent has been harvested.
Latimer pointed out that the High
Plains region, which is yet to be har-
vested, normally does not have a
problem with aflatoxin. Com there is
irrigated, and evening temperatures
are cooler during the growing season,
he explained.

We are having earlier than usual cool
spells - two northers In September - that
have started cooling the soil. Each suc-
ceeding cool spell will be more effective
as a chilling agent. We are already
hearing predictions of an earlier and
colder winter. Our average first freeze
in this area is around 10-15 Novem-
ber, but remember that we normally
have a killing frost before a real freeze.
Be a little more cautious this year.
Now is the time to take cuttings on
house plants if you haven't already
done so. Good examples are gerani-
ums and begonias. As a rule their roots
seem to be worn out, and taking cut-
tings and starting them early lets a good
root system develop before they have
to be brought in. it is better to save
smaller plants that will take off and grow
in spring than to lose a prize or senti-
mentally valuable plant. House plants
that are over-grown need to be cut back
before they are brought in; otherwise
they take up too much room and fehade
others that need light too. Some philo-
dendron and ivy-type plants get too
long and stringy. Cut them back, put the
cuttings in perlite to root, and then put
them in the pot with the mother plant;
they will look so much better. Be sure to
check all plants for insects and dseases
before bringing them in; treat them
while they're still outside.
if your mums, kalanchoes, poinset-
bas and Christmas cactus don't bloom,
check that they are receiving q£ artificial
light at night. I have no idea where the idea
of “putting them in the closet1 came from,
but that will weaken the plant to where it
won't bloom and may even die. They need
normal daylight, butgg artificial night light.
It's about time to give your lawn its
annual dose of-winterizer. These cool
snaps will make the tops go dormant, and
the fertilizer will all be available for root
development during the winter.
October is not the time to plant seeds,
at lease not in the flower bed. These are all
transplants: Alyssum, aster, calendula,
daisy, daianthus, flowering cabbage and
kale, pansy, petunia, annual phlox, snap-
dragon, stock, verbena, and viola. The
October edibles include beet s, broccoli p,
Brussels sprout p. cabbage p, carrot s,
cauliflower p, Swiss chard s, collard s,
garlic cloves, lettuce s, mustard green s,
onion sets (for winter salad onions), onion
seed (for big ones next spring), radish s,
spinach s, and turnip s
$ Now »4he time to buy tulip bulbs; put
them in the vegetable tray of the refrigera-
tor for 4 - 6 weeks. Plant container-grown
shrubs in the fall; they will do better next
spring. Remove runners and blooms of
fall-planted strawberries. Set out blue-
bonnet transplants Seed cool season rye
grasses for winter lawns. Seed Elbon rye
in the unused part of the garden to get rid
of nematodes; plow it under in the spring.
Keep lawn grasses at 2-inch height going
into winter. Dig and store caladium bulbs.
Road barricade draws
ire of neighbors
A barricade placed at the end of
County Road 673 at the request of
residents of the Altman Subdivision
there Monday brought the ire of
nearby neighbors.
Commissioner Marvin Bendele
had erected the barricade at the re-
quest of the residents and on ap-
proval of the Commissioners Court.
However, Erlene McDonough
says that it prevents she and her
family and friends from traveling
that road, which she contends they
have been doing since before the sub-
division was built.
The Court decided that other
commissioners will join Bendele in
inspecting rite site, to eee.fk^Jhand
what the situation might1>e.The item
will then appear on the Court's
agenda next Monday.
The Court also approved person-
nel actions on:
Precinct 4-Fielding Wiemers, a
transfer from Precinct 1 to Precinct 4
as a heavy equipment operator. His
position in Precinct 1 had been elimi-
nated by the recent re-districting.
Sheriffs Office-Linda Halbar-
dier, a promotion.
Federal Programs-Enrique Her-
rera, new hire to replace Patricia
Mares who resigned to take a posi-
tion with the Texas Department of
Parks and Wildlife.
