Charles Ballard, president of the
Pilot Point Chamber of Commerce,
has just returned from a vaca-
tion trip, which included a tour
through the irrigated farming area
of West Texas. He saya irrigation
is working miracles there. One
farm will be poor, run-down and
its crops wilted. Then across the
road, on the farm that is irrigated,
the cotton grows chest high.

J B Harper thinks he may have
well water of healing qualities on
his farm one half mile south of
Argyle. Harper says the minerals
in the water give it an unusual
medicinal value. His young son
was ill, drank the water for one
week, got well and gained two
pounds, the Argyle farmer says . . .
Now he is trying to get a chemical
analysis of the water.

Cotton in Denton county this
week continued to suffer from the
drought and extremely high tem-
peratures. Because of the adverse
weather conditions, cotton in many
fields is deteriorating and open-

l^afworm infestations continue
to be general but light with only
occasional succulent fields in need
ot control measures in most areas
of the State. Late planted, irrigated
or other immature fields should
be closely watched and control
measures should be applied when
needed to prevent damage from
this insect.

many of such fields are in need
of insecticidal treatment at S-day
intervals to prevent damage. Fields
which are beginning to mature
may need applications of poison
for boll protection.
Injurious infestations of boll-
worms were found in fields in
especially attractive. Such fields
need to be protected from this
insect in moat areas of the State.
In general, infestations of other
insects such as cotton fleahoppers,
aphids and spider mites are light
with only occasional fields in some
areas in need of control measures
for these insects.

DROUTH-SEARED COTTON—Too much hot weather and not enough rain has caused
this cotton in a field near Abilene to grow slowly. The bills—what there is of them
—opened too early because of the extreme heat. I .ack of rain has caused many of the
plants to wither and die. A cigarette package beside the row in the foreground gives
a comparison of the size of the stalks and how lack of moisture has caused plants
to remain small. (AP Photo)
