inOdemorEdroy.
October 9-15 Is Texas
Extension Homemaker Week
Extension Homemaker Clubs
have the largest membership of any
other women’s club in the world ac-
cording to Kaye Woodward, County
Extension Agent.
What interests do these clubs hold
for young and old, rural and urban,
women all over the world?
The agent pointed out that the
Homemakers Creed gives an in-
sight. “We believe in the present and
its opportunities, in the future and
its promises and the Home.”
Over 23,000 women belong to the
Texas Extension Homemaker Clubs
and EHE Study Groups. They are in-
terested in their home, their family,
their community and their country
as well as in self-growth. Each ex-
tension homemaker club meeting of-
fers its members an opportunity to
receive an educational program that
is planned around the family, home
or community.
Education is an important part of
the organization, but there are many
other opportunities including leader-
ship growth and the development of
self-confidence.
Because of the desire to satisfy the
needs and interests of all members,
extension homemaker clubs and
home economics committees in each
county sponsor many varied pro-
grams, where all women have an op-
portunity to enjoy and improve
themselves.
There are now nine extension
homemaker clubs in San Patricio
and Aransas Counties. The clubs are
located in Sinton, West Sinton, In-
gleside, Portland, Taft, Aransas
Pass, St. Paul, Odem and Lake
Shore Gardens.
Extension homemaker clubs are
open to all people regardless of
socioeconomic level, race, color,
sex, religion, handicap or national
origin. Anyone interested in joining
as an active club or organizing a new
club of eight to ten persons should
contact the County Extension Office
at 364-2334 in Sinton.

TDA Asks Farmers To Destroy Cotton Plants
The Texas Department of
Agriculture Friday urged South
Texas cotton producers to destroy
their cotton plants immediately, to
have any hope of reducing boll
weevil populations next spring and
summer.
“There is no question Hurricane
Gilbert and other recent rains have
caused some delays for the cotton
producers who need to get into their
fields,” TDA Pest Management
Director Dr. Paul Martin said. “But
a number of producers have been
able to get the job done, and we need
the cooperation of all cotton pro-
ducers if this program is going to
work.
“We’re facing a key stretch in the
next week or so in which it is ab-
solutely critical for the cotton plants
to be destroyed if we’re going to
have any impact on next spring’s
boll weevil population.”
Reports to TDA from Bee, San
Patricio, Nueces, Cameron, Hidalgo
and Willacy counties indicate
regrowth cotton and seedling cotton
plants are knee-high in some fields,
offering more than enough food for
boll weevils to successfully hiber-
nate or cycle through the winter and
explode in growth next spring.
“The only way the cotton farmer
can deny the boll weevils the oppor-
tunity to make it through the winter,
is to plow those plants under and kill
them,” Martin said. “It’s too late to
kill the cotton with herbicides,
especially now that we have cooler
nights which further reduce the
chemical’s effectiveness.”
An earlier September plow-up
date was pushed back due to wet
grounds. However, an October 3
plow-up deadline is currently in ef-
fect and violators are subject to
fines.
“We’re trying our best to get
voluntary compliance with this new
law,” Martin said. “But we don’t
have much time left and if we
believe an individual is simply not
going to cooperate, then we will take
action.
“Just one cotton field left standing
can provide regrowth and seedling
cotton to feed enough boll weevils to
make life miserable for all other cot-
ton farmers over a wide area. The
only way this program can work, is
if we obtain full compliance from all
producers. Just one bad apple really
can spoil the whole barrel,” Martin
said.
Those producers who still have
cotton in their fields are currently
being visited by TDA inspectors.
TDA has the authority to seek the
penalties for violators and it also has
the authority to plow-up the offen-
ding field and then collect one and
one-half times the cost from the pro-
ducer.
“We have been patient,” Martin
said, “but we also have to recognize
the fact most of the producers put in
the extra time and effort and have
complied with the law. We’re
obligated to make sure their efforts
are not wasted.”
