Sorghum midge generally
has not increased in population
enough to cause damage in grain
sorghum however the midge
population is expected to reach
damaging levels about June 15.
Producers are urged to make
daily inspections of their fields.

Granger 7-4 Tuesday
Bartlett's Red Sox started out
strong leading 3-1 after three
innings but couldn's quite hang
on as Granger's Red Caps dealt
them a 7-4 defeat in a game
played in Granger Tuesday
night.
Butch Moore was the losing
pitcher staying on the hill for
four innings. He struck out 7
and allowed 2 runs.
The Red Sox played good ball
for the first three innings but
errors finally led to their down-
fall. Thursday (tonight) Red Sox
Coach Ed Lindemann will throw
Butch Moore at the hard-hitting
Granger Green Caps. The
The Green Caps have lost only
one game this year that being
a 4-1 decision to the league-
leading Bartlett Cardinals.
Tuesday night when the Sox
tangle with the Cardinals again
Assistant Coaches Donald Shaw
and Tommy Krueger will prob-
bly send Butch Moore to the
mound. Andy Stuart will also
be available for action.
Ed Lindemann's boys will
try to see if they can't do some-
thing about that winning streak
of the Cardinals.
Cardinals Defeat
Holland Hornets
15-2 Tuesday Night
Heavy hitting and excellent
pitching paved the way for
Bartlett's Cardinals to trounce
the Holland Hornets 15-2 in a
game played here Tuesday night.
Wayne Povell slammed two
pitches for home runs. The
home runs were hit farther than
any little leaguer has hit the
ball in many a moon here in
Bartlett. Both were long high
and hit hard.
Randy Lawton and Jesse Da-
vis also poled home runs for the
Cards.
Roy Crathers and Wayne Po-
well combined to hurl a two
hitter at the Hornets. Crathers
pitched the first three innings
picking up the win. He struck
out six batters Powell came an
and pitched the final three in-
nings striking out 7 out of a
possible nine batters.
Cards Coach Ken Bartz is
planning to use Crathers and
Powell against the Granger
Red Caps in Granger Thursday
(tonight).
He also plans to use Crathers
against the Red Sox here Tues-
day night when the two"ocal
nines lock horns again.
Assistant Coaches Bill Pierce
and Norman Lange also like the
looks of Jimmy Volney. There
is a chance that he will be see
ing some mound action before
the season has run its course.
Red Sox Cards
Both Win Games
Thursday Night
Bartlett's Red Sox and Card-
inals racked-up victories in Tri-
City League baseball action in
games played here and in Gran-
ger last Thursday night.
The Cards ran their winning
streak to three in a row by de-
feating the Granger Green Caps
4-1 in a game played in Gran-
ger. The Cards opened the scoring
for the night in the second inn-
ing when Randy Lawton and
Larry Flowers walked and then
were doubled home by William
Sanders to give the Cards a two
run lead. Jim Volney doubled
home Wayne Powell and then
scored himself on an error to
close out scoring for the Cards
for the night in the fifth inn-
ing. Roy Crathers winning his
third game of the season pick-
ed up the victory while Michael
David was the losing pitcher
fou Granger.
Randy Lawton and Jimmy
Volney each stroked out 1 hit
in 3 trips to the plate.
The Red Sox blasted the cov-
er off the ball while defeating
the Holland Lions 28-14 in a
game played here last Thursday
night.
The Sox scored 4 in the first
9 in the second 8 in the fourthly. Light thrip and fleahopper
three midge per head is need-
ed to justify control measures.
The presence of only an occa-
sional midge does not warrant
control.
Once the sorghum midge at-
tacks the first application is
made when about ninety per-
cent of the heads emerge from
the boot with a second applica-
tion four days later. The timing
and intervals of spraying is
very critical.
A county-wide spray program
was organized recently. The
Carl Chancy Flying Service is
to provide aerial spraying ser-
vice to producers at a cost of
one dollar per acre for applica-
tion only. The producer furnish-
es the insecticide. This is to be
conventional spraying where
the insecticide is mixed with
water and applied in wing-span
swaths or about fifty feet in
width.
Producers with available high
clearance spraying equipment
are Lee and Bill Roessler and
Ben Kahliq of Oenaville and
Vince Cortez of Little River.
The group decided to use one-
half gallon of Toxaphene per
acre on the first application and
Diazinon or Trithion on the se-
cond spraying.
Alton Sheppard of Taylors
Valley James Hoelschcr of
Meeks and Bonnie Hendricks of
Holland all report little midge
activity in their sorghum to
date. Sorghum north and west
of a line from Seaton to Heiden-
heimer to Schwertner is late
enough to be infested with
midge. Most of the sorghum
south of this line is early
enough to miss midge damge.
Cotton producers will want to
complete their early season in-
sect control program by about
June 15. This final application
is aimed at controlling the flea-
hoppers. The spraying is parti-
cularly important for those who
have not already protected their
cotton from this pest. It is sug-
gested producers use one of the
insecticides which causes less
damage to beneficial insects
such as Sevin Dylox and Toxa-phene-DDT.
Insect activities are low ac-
cording to the cotton insect
monitors located over the coun-

AUSTIN Tex. - A task force
of federal officials here for a
conference on federal-state re-
lations got an earfull from dis-
gruntled state agency officials
who complained of poor com-
munication between Austin and
Washington.
Gov. John Connally opened
the conference by telling the
men from D. C. that the federal
grant system is characterized
"by misunderstanding dishar-
mony and in some instances ut-
ter confusion."
Other state officials got down
to specifics when the conference
broke up into small groups to
discuss intergovernmental co-
ordination health and welfare
education water development
outdoor recreation economic op-
portunity and manpower deve-
lopment. They said they want to be
consulted in advance about pro-
posed programs ; they want fed-
eral agencies to work through
state agencies on local pro-
grams; they want block grants
which would give state aricies
greater latitude in tailoring fe-
deral programs to fit local
needs; and they want specific
unconvicting instructions from
Washington as to what is ex-
pected of them.
Since the federal officials had
been through similar sessions
in 39 other states they took the
criticism without flinching.

funny part of the incident is I

We were discussing tho ideals
of tho youth of today and some-

infestations are reported by
Bob Lewis Oenaville; E. B.
Ware Bartlett; Herman Weiss
Holland; G. A. Maedgen Troy;
and Ed Bartz Pecan. Joe Wen-
trcek of Meeks indicates medi
um boll weevil activity on his
early cotton planted the last day
of March.
Lee Froebel of Dog Ridge has
completed the first year in mea-
suring the production of his
registered Hereford herd. This
program is aimed at determin-
ing the cows with the ability
to produce heavy calves at
weaning time. Half of the eval-
uation is based on weaning
weight and fifty percent on
conformation of the calf.
Each calf was weighed and
the weights were adjusted to
205 days of age. 'At the same
time a conformation score was
placed on each animal. The gra-
ding was done by Clarence Bier-
schwale of Killeen and Gene
Townsend of Salado. An analy-
sis of the records was made by
Jim Carter agricultural consul-
tant for the Texas Power and
Light Company.
The heifers average 357
pounds while the bulls averaged
426 pounds with a herd average
of 367 pounds. Using these
weights plus a conformation
score the analysis indicated
four heifers should be culled
from the herd.
Most of the high gaining cal
ves received the higher con
formation score. One heifer had
a light weaning weight of 334
pounds however her high con-
formation score resulted in the
animal being kept for replace
ment.
This demonstration is under
the sponsorship of the county
beef committee.
Seed for next fall' small grain
planting is expected to be in
short supply. Texas is expected
to have the least small grain
crop in many years. Owing to
late emergence drouth winter
killing and poor stands is re-
sulting in low yields all .over the
state. Producers may want to
harvest any field that will fur-
nish some seed. Even fields with
very low yields may prove to be
profitable as seed for sowing
next fall.
