About five squares of young

Some sections are hard-hit by
the drouth and almost all crops week to extinguish a grass fire
will yield much less, the county near the Elkins home in the Al-
agent had said.
At present, corn is being har-| ported,
vested with a fair yield. The hay I
crop is short with some being
harvested now. Silage harvest
has been completed.
The cotton harvest is underway
with prospects of about two-thirds |
of the norma! amount. As usual,
pickers are extremely scarce.
Ranchers in Brazoria County
report that there livestock is in I
fair condition but pastures are j
dry. Stock water is scarce with |
a number of wells continuing to .
go dry. Marketing is above norm-
al due to the drouth. This pic-
ture, t-K>, may change rapidly be-
cause of the weekend showers.
Rice yiled* are good and early
varieties are being harvested
throughout the county. Despite
some damage from salt water
piumped on crops and from lack
c>f water for others, prospects
are for a good year, barring
storms.

the United States as the number

During the past few years of
drouth, water intake of beef ani-

Feed and waler intake are closely
related. If consumption of one is
reduced, the other is reduced also
Water intake per unit of dry mat-

on full feed or on near-starvation
rations. In a pinch, water con-

treated crib about two-three
weeks it should be chicked for
weevil. If weevils are present,
the crib should be fumigated
using five gallons of liquid fumi-
gant per 1.00*3 cubic feet of corn
This fumigant consists of one
part of carbon tetrachloride and
three parts of ethylene cichloride
and can be purchased already
mixed in the proper proportions,
in order tj fumigate, the crib
should be closed as tightly as
possible and the liquid applied
uniformly over the too of the
grain.
The liquid quickly forms a gas
heavier than air and gees d^wn
through the grain. The crib
should remain closed for 24 hours
and then b« opened and allowed
to air. it is advisable for the ap-
plier to remain on the outside
and spray the liquid thiough an
opening if at all possible. If the
fumes from the liquid are inhaled
the applier may be overcome i/
a very short time.
A dry powder can be purchased
to protect corn from weevils and
is recommended if there are no
weevils in the corn at the time
it is applied, but if we< ^Ts are
present this product will not kill
them.
