Rowan was citcd during a
ceremony at Qui Nhon, Viet
Nam, for its exceptional per-
formance of duty while serving
as part of Junk Division 22 of the
Republic of Vict Nam Navy.
As part of Junk Division 22,
Rowan performed 24 naval gun-
fire support missions against
Viet Cong strongholds and in de-j to

Agribusiness still employs more
peoplcthan, for example, the
steel, automobile, transportation
and public utilities industries
combined.
Back in Texas, statistics are
proportionally similar to those
of the entire nation. John G.
McHaney, Extension Service
economist at Texas A&M Uni-
versity, says about 40 per cent
of the state citizenry is en-
gaged in some phase of agri-
business. A mere 8 per cent is
in actual farming and ranch-
ing, but the commodities are
being produced in larger quan-
tities and of better quality than
ever before.
He said that 8 per cent rep-
resents approximately 800,000
persons, compared to a farm and
rnnch population of 2.4 million
in 1934.
"This migration from rural
urban areas in Texas has

more than 900 rounds of five-inch

A result of this trend, he says,
is that more labor has been re-
leased from farms and ranches
to help provide the many other
items of everyday living which
help Texans enjoy one of the
highest living levels in the world.
He added that although farm-
ers and ranchmen have de-
creased in number, they buy
and use larger amounts of
equipment and services from
the businessman on Main
Street.
"These people are big spend-
ers." McHaney said. "They
annually release about $1.8 bil-
lion for goods used in raising
agricultural products. This
doesn't include money spent for
consumer goods in family liv-
ing." ,. ,
The economist also explamed
that the annual value of total
agricultural production in the
state exceeds either the total

tal construction awards, or the

Specialist Warns
About Range Fires
Motorists beware—range fire
season is just around the corner
as dry weather conditions per-
sist over most areas of Texas.
Thousands of Texas' 100 mil-
lion grassland acres go up in
smoke every year because of
carelessness, says G. O. Hoff-
man, Extension range specialist,
Texas A&M University.
The grass you see when travel-
ing along the highway is the
rancher's winter hay crop, like
money in the bank to him. The
stockman has worked hard to
produce this grass, so help him
keep it by preventing grass fires
from a carelessly flipped burn-
ing match or cigarette.
Grass is more than just "cow-
fced." Besides producing tasty
steaks and lamb chops, grass
produces food and cover for
deer and quail, prevents mud-
dy water from running into
lakes and streams and killing
fish and making water recrea-
tion unpleasant.
Not only is grass important
to the rancher, but you also
have a stake in it. Take a look
at what it has to offer you.
When hunting season rolls a-
round you want a fat buck to
hunt or a large covey of quail
for the dog to point. Without
grass and cover these will not
exist.
The ol' fishing hole offers
some pleasant liours °f fun to
you—unless a careless passerby
caused a fire that filled the lake
er stream with silt from an un-
protected range area. YoUr
favorite picnic spot can be
turned into a charred waste-
land bv careless smokers or
campers.
Keep these things in mind
when you start to throw that
next cigarette or match out of
the car window. Help the ranch-
er and help yourself. He put
fire precautions there to
most valuable na-
tural resource—grass.

Chinch Bugs Are
Active In Lawns
If homeowners notice yellow
or brown patches in their St.
Augustine grass lawns, they
should check for chinch bug in-
festation, says W. II. Newton,
assistant Extension entomolo-
gist, Texas A&M University. He
points out that many severe
cases of lawn damage by chinch
bugs have been reported in
Texas this year.
Chinch bug damage is usually
caused by nymphs (young)
which congregate on sheaths of
lower leaves and suck juices
from grass plants. This results
in wilting and eventual death
of the grass.
Adult chinch bugs are one-
sixth of an inch long, have btack
bodies, reddish yellow legs and
fully developed wings. Newly
hatched nymphs are bright red
with a whitish band across the
back, Newton adds.
If chinch bugs are present in
sufficient numbers to cau!e
yellow or brown patches to ap-
pear, they can usually be found
by parting grass in damaged
areas and making close observa-
tions. They will appear as small
black or red bugs with white
markings on their backs.
Newton explains that a gal-
lon can with both ends removed
canbe used as a sure detection
for chinch bugs. This is done by
forcing one end of the can two
or three inches into the ground
and filling it with water. Any
chinch bugs present will float
to the surface within five min-
utes. The can should be placed
at the edge of the damaged
area.
Control measures should be
started immediately if chinch
bugs are found. Ethion, Trithion
and Diazinon are among several
insecticides which may be ap-
plied either as a spray or dry
granular form. Lawns should be
wet when applied, but they
should be washed into the turf
mat after application.
The entire lawn should be
treated thoroughly, giving par-
ticular attention to areas ob-
viously infested. Continued ob-
servation for chinch bugs should
be made because one insectici-
dal treatment rarely prevents
damage for a whole season.
Newton advises homeowners
to check with local county
agents for recommended insecti-
cides and method of application
for chinch bug control.

Attending Firemen
Training School At
Texas A&M
Bill Grammer left Sunday to at-
tend the annual Texas Firemen's
Training School at Texas A&M
University. Approximately 2000
men engaged in fire prevention,
control and safety, from munici-
palities, industries, and armed
service representing some 450
cities and 20 states wiil be in at-
tendance at the school The school
is conducted by some 260 highly
qualified and experienced instruc-
tors and speakers made available
by municipalities, industries, manu-
facturers. state and federal agen-
cies, and the armed services.
Equipment and supplies are ioaned
or donated for this intensive and
practical training program.
Biil will be taking the Firefight-
ing I Course in which he will re-
ceive one week of intensive train-
ing in firefighting and rescue.
During the week he will have
training in: ladder evolutions, hose
loads and finishes, hose evolutions,
salvage operations, protective
equipment and breathing appara-
tus, forcible entry, nozzel tech-
niques for house fires, proper use
of fire extinguishers, fire rescue,
water rescue and dragging opera-
tions, stretcher opesations, ladder
work, artificial respiration and
heart massage.
Upon completion of the course
and passing a written examination,
Bill will qualify the City of Alto for
3% Key Rate credit on fire in-
surancerates.Thismeansasaving
of about $300 in insurance premi-
ums paid by citizens of Aito. A
greater savings to our community
than the key rate credit is in the
reduction of local fire losses which
should be brought about by the
use of efficient firefighting methods
and fire prevention measures that
are emphasized and taught during
the school.
The Texas Farm Bureau and the
City of Alto are paying Bill's
expenses. The Texas Farm Bureau
is paying his registration fees and
the dormitory room rent while the
City is paying his traveling ex-
penses and other costs.
