Brush, Weed
Control Rely
On Insects
LUBBOCK (API - Texas
Tech researchers say insects
can be a significant party of
the solution to brush and weed
control problems that have
bugged western ranchers for
years.
Studies conducted under the
Brush Control Research Pro-
gram at Texas Tech show that
insects, when used with chem-
ical and mechanical control
techniques, may be the ulti-
mate solution to the brush
trol problem.
"There are no clear-cut solu-
tions to brush control prob-
lems," said Dr Donald F. Bur-
zlaff, director of the Brush Con-
trol Research Program and
chairman of the Department of
Range Wildlife Management.
"Noxious brush and weeds in-
fest some 80 per cent of useable
rangelands in Texas alone,"
Burzlaff said. "These plants
waste water, prohibit little or
no nutritive value to li
and compete with beneficial
plants and grasses. Controlling
themeTTectivefy means millions
of dollars annually to ranch'
ers"
The research used common
insects as the short-homed
grasshopper, blister beetle,
jumping plant lice and other
leaf-footed bugs that suck
juices from the stems of plants

In its 21st year as a commun-
ity service club hyje. the Bay
town Evening Optimist Club of
Baytown has more to celebrate
than an anniversary.
Lester Alford, club vice-presi-
dent, told The Sun that the club
has won a first-place Commun-
ity Projects Award presented by
Optimist International at its an-
nual convention. %,
The coveted honor was re-
ceived for the club's 1974 spirit-
ual and religious program, "The
Sounds of Silence." which was
presented March 8 at the Com-
munity Building, Alford said
The special program in human
communications was given to
help bridge the gap between the
deaf and minority groups here,
he said.
The victors were cited in the
March issue of The Optimist, a
monthly publication by Opti-
mist International. The article
stated: "The problems of the mi-
norities and the deaf are better
understood today than ever be-
fore in Baytown, Tex., thanks to

rector of the Baptist Student Un-
ion at Lee College
Baptist Student Union mem-
bers featured in the production
were Petra Castillo as Lupe;
Roy Rendon, Elecio; Scott She-
ley, Kirk; Neva Gage, attend-
ant; Les Tolbert, waiter, Sue
Buckley, Shirley, and Adrian
Everage, Denton
Otgpr participants were the
deaf and adult choirs of Memo-
rial Baptist Church, the Wooster
aim of the community-wide pro-
gram in conjunction with Opti
mist International on "Spiritual’
and Religion," he added
Alford explained that early in
the fall of 1973 the club began a
search for a program which
would be meaningful to both the
community and the club After
talking with aree church lead-
ers, it was decided that there
was a critical need for "bridging
