Food Shortages
Seen in Phase
Four
College Station — Having
been raised in a society where
food has been abundant and
low-priced relative to most o.f
the countries in the world,
Americans have come to take
their food supplies for granted.
But now the picture has
changed!
The Phase IV program to
halt inflation begins Aug. 12
and will directly affect the food
industry as well as most every
aspect of the United States
economy, says Dr. William
Vastine of the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service.
In spite of publicity
emphasizing beef shortages in
warehouses and retail stores.
PAUL W.
there has been little evidence
that the continued beef price
freeze of Phase IV will be
compromised before the Sept.
12 deadline, he notes. However,
consumer pressure to remove
this price freeze combined with
that being exercised by
retailers, processors and pro-
duce groups would a pear lo be
forthcoming.
According to the specialist
in marketing and food distri-
bution, consumers will feel the
impact in several ways. "The
most direct will be in the
unavailability of beef in some
locations. Consumer hoarding
in anticipation . of price
increases following the removal
of the beef price freeze is also
evident. Continued high prices
for most meat items during the
coming months can be antici-
pated.
“Indeed there is little hope
of any staple commodity being
truly abundant in the near
future." the Texas A&M
University System specialist
points out.
Meanwhile, the only bright
hope lies in this fall’s harvest,
believes Vastine.
"If the 6 percent increase
in the corn crop over last
season and the 24 percent
increase in soybeans, 5 percent
increase in grain sorghum, and
8 percent increase in the wheat
crop is realized, some price
relief by late 1973 or early 1974
would be expected."

San Augustine
Grass Chinch
Bug Target
Chinch bugs are taking
their toll in East Texas lawns.
San Augustine lawns are the
prime targets of the tiny
insects, but several lawn and
pasture grasses, as well as
small grains, are susceptible,
according to Bob Moody,
County Extension Agent.
Chinch bugs normally
cause damage from spring until
frost, but may remain active
during mild winters. Adult
chinch bugs are about one-fifth
to?3ne-sixth inch long with a
black body and white wings
folded over the balk. Immature
chinch bugs may range in color
from yellow to red with a light
colored band across the
abdomen. Seven to eight weeks
are required to complete the
fife cycle.
Damaged areas in the lawn
first appear as yellow or brown
discolored patches of grass.
This discoloration is caused by
the insects sucking the sap
from the host plants.' Damaged
areas increase in size as the
insect population increases.
Chinch bugs infestations can be
accurately diagnosed only if the
insects are found and identified.
One method of determin
ing the infestation is by using a
large coffee can with both ends
removed. Press one end of the
can about two or three-inches
•HOW S YOUR FIRE PREVENTION I.Q.?”
By TRENT DEHONEY
Fire Marshal
FAMILY
FIRE DRILLS
This is article A 2 in my series on fire prevention in the
in the home. I have used the term “fire drills" because everyone
no matter how old he may be will be familiar with it. Actually,
the term given the subject in many areas of the country is
E-D-l-T-H Exit Drills In The Home
In a fire in the home, particularly at night, you and your
family may never get a second chance to get out. In other words,
without prior family discussion and definite preplanning for
escape in case of fire, someone in your family may
perish... need lessly!
Basic subjects to discuss at your family fire drill meetings
are the fact that there are two areas of escape from every room;
the door or a window. There should be an established FIRE:
SIGNAL that is used only for fire drills or actual fires. This could
be something as simple as a toy whitstle or as sophisticated as a
commercial alarm system, with sensitizers in each room
Whatever it is in your home, make sure everyone understands
what it is, how it works and what to do when the signal is
sounded. Make it a hard and fast rule that the signal is not used
for any other purpose.
Establish a safe meeting place in the event the family must
leave the home in case of fire. Impress heavily on the mind of
each family member that under no circumstances is he to return
to the burning home once he is outside safely; remember, hot
gases and smoke kill!
If awakened in the night be smoke or flames, and the
telephone is the danger area, do not attempt to reach the phone
to call the fire department. Leave by the quickest means
available, after sounding the family fire alarm, and call the fire
department from a neighbor's home. Be sure YOU and the neigh
bor have the fire department telephone number posted ON THE
PHONE!
Sleep with the bedroom or hall doors closed. Doors can keep
out deadly smoke, heat and gases. Temperatures of 1.000
degrees are not uncommon in home fires. Deadly gases often
precede these fatal temperatures. _
If awakened by signs of fire, feel your bedroom door before
opening itl If it is hot DO NOT OPEN IT! Leave Qy a window.
If you find yourself trapped in a burning room, drop to the
floor to make use of the available fresh air. Then, crawl to a safe
exit. A coil of rope or ladder built onto the side of the house can
provide a safe exit from an upstairs room. ,
Above all remember, statistics show that most fires start
between midnight and 8 a.m., when you are asleep and least
prepared. Obviously this is no time to start giving your family
instructions on how best to leave the home! Until each and every
family member has instructions firmly in mind, I suggest you
hold family meetings for fire discussions. Make it mandatory that
each family meiflbef be present and the t.v. and other'distrations
silenced. Go over exit procedures time and again until everyone,
even the very youngest, knows his escape route independent of
the adults. Actually have fire drills, with each person starting
from his own bed when the family fire alarm is sounded.
Teach all youngsters the danger of fire and matches. Let
them understand you are very serious about following the rules
you have set forth.
NEVER assume someone else has called the fire
into the soil at the edge of the department; small fires grow quickly into major disasters!

present, they will float to the*'
surface. This procedure should
be repeated at several locations
in the lawn.
Best control is obtained
when the entire lawn is treated.
Suggested insecticides for
chinch bugs control in lawns
include Aspon, Carbopheno
"thion (Trithion), Diazinon or
Ethion. Manufacturer's direct-
ions should be followed. If a
spray material is used, the turf
should be adequately watered
or sprinkled prior to treatment.
After watering, apply 15 to 25
gallons of spray per 1,000
square feet.
Granular materials, often
preferred by home owners, can
be applied with a cyclone-type
fertilizer spreader. Following
application of granular mater
lals, water the lawn for about
one hour to wash the granules
into the matted turf.
