90 Girl Scouts Stage
Invasion Of Camp Greenhill
Camp Greenhill, the Girl Scout
Camp located on a picturesque
•bluff, overlooking the waters of
Lake Mathis has been invaded
by a wonderfully carefree, hap-
py group of 90 or more mem-
bers of the Girl Scouts of Amer-
ica organization. Most of them
were brought to camp by their
parents or formed transporta-
tion pools and arrived in
groups of 4 to 6 girls each.
Camp Director this year is
Mrs. W. P. Miller from Pa-
sadena, ably assisted by Mrs.
Jack Nixqn from Freer. From
the register of attendees, it ap-
pears that about every county
in south Texas is represented.
W. O. Howard from Mathis is
working as camp care-taker and
David Hoskins from Mathis is
helping the camp cooks with
kitchen chores.
To handle the many little pro-
blems that come up and super-
vise the activities of the 90
Girl Scouts, Mrs. Miller has
the following senior Scouters for
the Girl Scout Camp staff: Kay
McDonald, Cheryl Cavasar,
Linda Mussman, and Brenda
Cavasarr all of Mathis; Karen
Gandy, Jennifer Hardin, Alexia
Aqueske, Cathy Hardin, Debra
Parrish, Elizabeth Rockwell,
from Corpus Christi; Betty Sue
Atkins, Linda Zaerneman and
Linda Sloan, all of Edna; Loret-
ta Moody of Sinton; Bridget
Guthrie of Taft; Mary Wagner
of Kingsville; Barbara Smith
of Beeville; and B. J. Klave-
mann of Orange Grove.
Keeping a watch on the eat-
ing habits and nourishment of
the girls are camp cooks Mrs.
Vera Hanshaw Mrs. Jack Al-
len and Mrs. Agnes Polasdk. all
of Mathis.
The many varied and inter-
esting camp activities are
swimming, boating, canoeing,
camp crafts, and there are
two special progams, pioneer-
ing and acquatic units that
teach advanced methods and
ideas in their respective fields.
This year there are Junior,
Cadet and Senior Girl Scout
groups at the camp. They plan
all of their schedules while at
the camp and receive fkaal ap
proval from the Camp Council.
A number of the girls spend
much of their time work-
ing on different projects in
scouting to win one of the co-
veted Girl Scout badges.
After the evening meal has
been taken care of and the sun
is setting out across the calm,
placid waters of Lake Mathis, a
hugh camp-fire sends up multi-
colored fingers of flame and the
voices of over 100 young ladies
join harmonisously in singing
camp and Girl Scout songs
that they will long remember,
as they will their happiest hours

County Agent News
This past week we have re-
ceived a number of inquiries
regarding. the aphid buildup in
grain sorghum heads. Also of
concern to grain growers was the
boll worms and webworms in
grain heads.
The question asked, should
poison and how much damage
will these insects cause?
Research data shows that it
seldom pays to poison for aph-
ids. The loss in grain weight
is minimal, the main problem
is the honey dew substance se-
creted by the aphid that makes
harvesting difficult. Normally,
beneficial insects begin to build
up about six days after aphids
appear. Beneficial insects will
generally bring the aphid un-
der control. In most fields we
have noticed the build up of
beneficial insects, especially the
larval stage of the lady beetle
and the lace wing fly. If the
beneficial insect's do not bring
the aphid under control we re-
commend spraying with para-
thion 10 to 12 days before har-
vest.
If you find one worm per head
found per head it is reeom-
1-4 inch or larger - don’t spray,
the one surviving worm will eat
about 12 kernels. A normal head
has bout 800 kernels.
Webworms are not cannibalis-
tic, they will continue to build-
up and can cause economic loss.
When four to five worms are
mended you start poisoning.

WYNNE CHESTER SAYS;
Recreational Assistance
** 1
Several months ago my cousin
Frank acquired a beautiful piece
of land, complete with fields,
streams and woodlands. A hunter
himself, he decided to turn it
into a shooting preserve. But
poor Frank soon found himself
faced with a bewildering array
of complicated problems.
About that time, I learned
about the availability of a pub-
lication! thought might help, so
I sent for it and passed it along
to Frank. The result? Next sea-
son our area will have a fine,
well-arranged new game preserve!
The booklet is called “Private
Xr-"'
Assistance in Outdoor Recrea-
tion.” It lists names and ad-
dresses of private organizations
and associations which offer tech-
nical and educational help in
over 20 categories of activities,
ranging from walking and hiking
to bicycling and boating. There
are a dozen names under hunting
and shooting alone. The listings
include the area of interest of
each organization, some of their
publications, and the types of
assistance available. This book-
let'is designed to aid landowners,
organizations such as clubs, and
private investors interested in
developing outdoor recreation
areas and facilities to meet ever-
growing public demands. It can
be of invaluable help to them.
For a copy of “Private Assist-
ance in Outdoor Recreation,”

of Documents, U. S. Govern-
ment Printing Office, Washing-
ton, D. C. 20402.
