selected for improvement of
State Highway 37 extending from
Mt Vernon to 4.1 miles south of
Hagansport, a distance of approx-
imately 6 3 miles, according to
Division Engineer F. M Davis.
The above section is to be im-
proved by the construction of
surfacing subject to the condi-
tion that Franklin County will
furnish all required right-of-way
free of cost to the State.
Upon acceptance by the county
and fulfillment of the conditions
of this order, the State Highway
Engineer is directed to proceed
with construction in the most
feasible and economical manner.

Larger numbers of weevils

ing the week. Most of the over-

Says Herman R. Lynch, Red Riv-
er County Agent.
Since unfavorable weather in-
terrupted some of the poisoning
schedules a special effort should
be made to apply a heavy dose
of insecticides to the fields as
soon as ground conditions permit
Maximum doses of poisons listed
in the insect control guide for the
early season program will be re-
quired to kill the weevils.
If conditions permit an appli-
cation should be put on the cot-
ton about the 15th. Should this
be possible and weevils are found
in the field about the 20th, an-
other application should be made.
June 20 should be the latest date
for the early season applications
if the insects are under control at
that time.
Where fields are squaring and
the weevils have already punc-
tured squares, at least three ap-
plications of insecticides at 5-day
intervals will be required to
clean up the infestation.
