Mrs. Norman, who asked for
$140 for new trees and removal
of the old ones. In her letter, she
stated that she witnessed the
random spraying and that two
pine trees in her yard began to
turn brown following the
incident.
Although city officials took
branches from the affected trees
to the Extension Service in
Lubbock and the person who
examined them said in his
opinion that herbicide did not
cause the damage, further testing
would cost $150 $250 and the
claim was allowed.
The council took no action on
Ms. Bennett’s claim. She asked
for free water services from the
city for the months of
through Aueu
but one of her neighbors did.
City Attorney Bonnie Ericson
told the council that it was a
violation of law to compensate a
person in such a way. In addition,
a review of water bills at
Bennett’s residence showed
much lower water usage than the
previous occupant of her
residence for the months
following the spraying incident.
The council did not deny the
claim, but preferred to study it
further.
In other business, the council
approved a resolution dealing
with disciplinary and grievance
procedures for city employees;
approved the method
implemented for employee travel
and is guaranteed not to change
until April 1 of 1993.

According to Lubbock-based
Plains Cotton Growers (PCG)
most areas of the High Plains
indicate as much as 60 percent of
the crop is now off the stalk. Wet
weather has kept producers out of
the field for the past few days.
Even though harvest activity
has stalled in most areas because
jrf ihe weather producers remain
optimistic they will be able to get
back in the field quickly and
prevent any significant yield
losses from occurring. High
quality cotton has been the rule
across the area and producers
want to keep it that way.
"Even though what’s left of this
year’s crop got off to a late start it
is turning out to be one of the best
we’ve ever had in terms of per
and quality," notes
Vice President
While the good news for the
area is that instead of total
disaster the 1992 crop will likely
go down as one of the best in
terms of both per acre yield and
quality, it is also likely to set a
new record for abandonment. It is
estimated that close to 55 percent
of the acres intended for cotton in
1992 were losl and replanted to
alternative crops.
Production on the High Plains
is expected to be near 1.5 million
bales with average yields
estimated to easily top 500
pounds per acre.
In addition to harvest activities
that have been keeping producers
and ginners busy a number of
meetings are also being held
across the area and state. The
meetings will keep ag industry
leaders on the move during the
PCG officials recently attended
a meeting of the Texas Cotton
Producers Association and the
Cotton Incorporated Board of
Directors in Dallas November 17-
19.

listing of upcoming meetings
