Mrs. Will Lake got good control
of the cucumber beetles damaging
the canteloupe crop by dusting
with a commercial dust containing
BHC, lindane and a copper com-
pound. The BHC and lindane con-
trol the insects while the copper
dust protects the plants against
diseases.
Mr. Buddie Yager of the San
Gabriel community, reports good
control of cotton insects by using
Heptachlor as a spray. He has
put on 3 applications and plans to
use a fourth application by the
first week in June.

Fly Control
The regular "house fly"
continuous problem around most
all farms each year. This year is
no exception. A number of pur
farm families are getting good re-
sults using commercial fly baits.
The best fly baits are made of ma-
lathion. This material, when used
according to instructions on the
container, give good fly kill. Al-
crop looks better and urged farm-
ers to continue poison applications
] until mid-June to protect Late-
planted cotton.

COLLEGE STATION—A Texas
A&M agricultural economist has j
predicted that Texas exodus from 1
the farm to the city will be slower
in the future.
Dr. Robert R Skrabanek says
hat it is highly probable that the !
farm population will continue to '
decline but at a much slower rate
than the 26.6 percent - about ’
369.000 - who have moved to the j
city from 1950-57.
In the survey made by Texas :
A & M in cooperation with the ‘
i I'SDA, Dr. Skrabanek said also '
that the farm population declined s
more slowly in Texas than in near-
by Arkansas. Oklahoma, and Loui-
| siana where the loss was 30.2 per-
cent during the same period.
| However, compared with the na-
tionwide farm to city movement.
Texas' 26 6 percent has been much
higher than the national average
of 18.6 percent.

There was much migration to
and front farms during the 1950-57
survey period. Dr. Skrabanek add-
ed. An estimated 815,000 moved
from Texas farms during that per-
iod, but at the same time 314,000
moved to farms.
There were an estimated 199,000
births among farm population dur-
ing the period and an estimated
67,000 deaths.
The migration from farms was
heavier in areas of prolonged
drouth than in areas where the
drouth was less serious.
