GREENBUGS.
Greenbugs develop to large
numbers under certain condi-
tions and may cause serious
losses. These plant lice suck sap
from plants of all small grains.
Infested fields may have small
“deadened” areas during the
winter. Later, greenbugs in
these spots may continue to in-
crease and soon migrate through
out the field. In some cases, en-
tire fields of grain are killed.
Greenbugs cause more damage
when wheat or small grains are
suffering from deficient mois-
ture in mild winters and cool
springs.
The greenbug reproduces rap-
idly at temperatures between 55
and 75 degrees F. Its natural
enemies, however, reproduce
very slowly when the tempera-
tures are below 65 degrees F.
Thus, in cool weather the green-
bug may increase to enromous
numbers while the number of
its natural enemies increase
slowly.
How to Make Infestation
Counts — Make a minimum of
five counts, each consisting of
1 linear foot of row, at random
while walking diagonally across
the field. More counts may be
necessary where large acreages
are involved. Greenbugs should
be shaken from the plants onto
a piece of paper or cloth and
counter. If greenbugs are num-
erous, estimate the number pres
ent. The appearance of small
deadened areas caused by green-
bug feeding is also a good indi-
cation that insecticides should
be applied. Occassionally popu-
lations of 25 to 50 greenbugs per
foot in very young or spring
planted small grain may war-
rant treatment. This is especial-
ly true where oats and barley
are involved. Oats and barley
are usually more susceptible to
greenbugs than wheat.

AUTO ARSON HITS TEXAS
POCKETBOOKS
Law officers face the problem
of trying to crack 16,000 auto
theft and hundreds of suspicious
fire cases occuring each year in
Texas. The National Auto Theft
Bureau, an organization support
ed by insurnace companies for
the purpose of holding to a min-
imum insured losses resulting
from auto theft, and arson re-
ports that these cases in Texas
have increased three per cent
during the past year and appar-
ently commercial auto theft
rings are helping boost the per-
centage.
Along the Texas-Mexico bor-
der, automobiles “disappear”
with abnormal frequency. A-
bout one third of Texas’ unre-
covered stolen cars are suspec-
ted of being smuggled into Mex-
ico, C. C. Benson, NATB’s Tex-
as Division manager reports. El
Paso is the real hot spot for
automobile theft.
The NATB pinpoints two dis-
tinct varieties of the auto thief
. . . the rank amateur and the
professional. The amateur is us-
ually a person short of cash or
behind in his car payments.
Auto theft or arson offers him
a convenient escape. He might
sprinkle gasoline on the auto,
touch a match to it, and collect
his insurance. Or, he could have
his auto “stolen”, destroyed,
then his fraudulent claim is pre-
sented to the insurance com-
pany.
Of the nearly 300,000 autos
valued at $226 million stolen or
fraudently destroyed each year
90 per cent are recovered. The
remaining 10 per cent accounts
for the $18 million price tag
which finds its way into every
person’s auto insurance rate.

If you’d like to see how your car dollar

kinds of cars that do it handily. Jet-

that invites comparison with
the high-priced cars. ’68 Chevy

looking and spirited to be
called a thrift car. But sparing
is what it is in price and up-

gram:
1. Rigid law enforcement. Un-
locked ignitions and keys left in
cars help the auto thief, there-
fore “Key Ordinances” should
be rigidly enforced.
2. Enactment of uniform
automobile title laws in every
state. Only 33 states now have
title laws and not all fit a uni-
form pattern.
3. A sharp increase in the a-
mount of in-service training in
auto theft investigation for pa-
trolment.
4. Continued effort to have
auto theft recognized as a ser-
ious crime. The term “joy rid-
ing,” when applied to auto theft
masks the real seriousness of
the crime.
5. More intensive research.
Secure help from social scien-
tists, phychiatrists and other
specialists in behavior problems
to tell why juveniles steal cars
and to recommend procedures
and techniques to launch a new
attack on the probelm.

HAPPY SMOKING HABIT
The Air Force recently an-
nounced it would no longer allow
the various cigarette companies
to donate cigarettes to Air Force
hospitals free for distribution
to patients in the hospitals.
The Air Force obviously has
concluded that the evidence sug-
gesting cigarette smoking, caus-
es lung cancer is too strong to
permit continuation of this pol-
icy.
This is certainly in lith with
common sense and the latest
medical evidence and not only
should hospitals follow the Air
Force example but we should al-
so make available research con-
clusions of the various respon-
sible medical bodies, and the U.
S. Public Health Service, to stu-
dents in our schools.
The great mental refuge of
many smokers is that final spe-
cific data has not been offered,
showing how cigarettes cause
lung cancer. But enough evi-
dence has been unearthed to con
vince the Public Health Service,
and many responsible medical
organs, that there is a strong
link between lung cancer and
cigarettes.
Those who wish to take their
chances have a perfect right to
do so, althought it might, in the
end, produce a heavy burden for
remaining members of their
families (and dependants).
There is, of course, the chance
that a cure for cancer will be
found.

FRANK'S VARIETY
The USDA has isolated a nat-
ural attractant from the female
American cockroach. They see
the discovery as a possible
means of controlling the pests
by using it in combination with
insecticides, and chemical ster-
ilizing agents. But due to the
small amount obtainable from
each roach the natural extract
does not appear to be economic-
al for commercial use. However,
chemists are working on the
development of a low cost syn-
thetic.
Prussic acid can reach a high
level following the first frost of
the year. Certain chemical chan
ges take place in the plants that
are wilted and the poison works
quickly, killing a short time af-
ter the animal has eaten it.
Don’t allow animals to graze on
wet pasture following a freeze
and make certain silage is free
from prussic acid on frosty
mornings. Usually silage is free
of the poison, but if in doubt,
have it tested by a veterinarian.
In my community so much
cash is found in tin cans in back-
yards, or in the glove compart-
ments of automobiles, that I
sometimes think there are
enough hidden assets to pay the
national debt if the could be
found.
