Cherokee County will be a lot
less likely to have a rabies
outbreak this year due to rhe
rabies vaccinations clinics
held In 20 communities dur-
ing the month of May. Dr.
E.C. Martin, cooperating vet.
erinarian reported 1345 dogs
were vaccinated during the
clinics. This is about 400-
500 above the number vac-
cinated last year.
These clinics were started
quite a few year ago while
C. Metz Heald was County
Agent in the County.
We feel these clinics have
contributed over the years to
a very low incidence of rab-
ies in Cherokee County. Sin-
ce 1962, I can't remember
having more than 1 or 2cases
per year reported for the
County; and these cases were
usually In skunks or fox.
The clinics are currently
being sponsored by the Ch-
erokee County Livestock -
men's Association with our
office and the local veterin-
arian cooperating.

Dry weather in Cherokee
County is beginning to hurt
most crops and pasture.
Watermelons may be the
one exception. Mr. Herod
Bickerstaff of Bullard says
that so far his melons are
not showing any drouth sym-
ptoms.
Quite a lot of hay is being
cut and It's curing rapidly
because of dry conditions.
Some producers are debat-
ing about going back with ni-
trogen top dressing following
cutting. There's always ex-
ceptons; but past observa-
tions indicate that nitrogen
topdressing generally pays
off, even during extremely
dry weather. 1 was talking
with W.P, Meador of Pine
Grove this morning. He had
just cut 73 bales of hay per
acre on some coastal and was
going back Immediately with
a topdressing. It's paid off
for him on some previously
dry years, and he feels it
will again this year. He
tells me he is selling hay to
some people for wintering
cows that have previously
been using cubes. This
speaks well for improved hay
quality.
• • •
Speaking of topdressing hay
meadows and pastures with
nitrogen, every year ques-
tions come up concerning the
use of nitrogen fertilizer with
urea as the source of nitro-
gen.
Dr. C.D. Welch, Extension
Soil Chemist from Texas A&
M says that the common nit-
rogen sources >-how similar
results when applied to cool
season crops and when put into
the soil for warm season
crops. He says however,
when applied on the sur-
face of the soil or vegeta-
tion when temperatures are
about 70 degrees Fahren-
heit, yields often have been
lower for urea and urea-con-
taining mixtures. You may
wish to consider this along
witli price and percent nit--
rogen content in deciding on
the best source of nitrogen
to use.
• • •
Livestock producers need to
be on the lookout for screw
worms. According to Weldon
Newton, Texas A&M Exten-
sion Entomologist, Texas has
already had over 4000 cases
of worms this year. This is
the most since the eradica-
tion program started in 1962.
Almost 70percent of the cases
being reported are from na-
vels of newborn calves. Ne-
arly 20 percent are from
man made wounds such as
dehorning and castrating. Dr.
Newton recommends using
wound protectants on natural
or man made wounds to pre
vent infestation.
No screwworms have been
confirmed in Cherokee Coun-
ty; but producers need to
check cattle regularly and
collect any suspect worms
and send to the laborat-
ory at Mission for positive
Identification. I have mail-
ing vials available from my
office.
Oil and gas have been dis-
covered in two separate zones
of an exploratory well 16
miles west of Ardjuna Field,
offshore Indonesia, by the
Atlantic Richfield Co., New
York.
H.L, Mencken writes, "In
the main, there are two sorts
of books; those that no one
reads, and those that no one
ought to read." We have both
but we also have manv that
fit In either catagory-the books
frequently read and should be '
read.
One new book just received
is "Citizen Nader," Charlec
McCarry. "Here is an object-
ive portrait of the man whose
war with the corporate state
may alter forever the balance
betwef-n public and private
power in thi•- country," quote
from jacket cover. You will
be interested in how Ralph
Nader works as the book re-
veals one of the major public
figures of recent decades.
Another book of interest is
"Jacksonville Centennial"
which give1- a brief biography
of many families whocontrib-
uted to Jacksonville's histroy
and progress.
June has all indications of
being a banner month for
reading with nine new library
cards and seventy books is-
sued the first day. May
closed with 670 books and 23
new cards issued. Sixteen
dollars and forty-nine cents
was collected for fines and
lost books, 50 new books
were added, 45 through pur-
chase and five by donations.
This does not include paper-
backs. 24 of the group
was received Friday and was
part of the Thalian Club's or-
der, all books for children.
Thanks to Gay lord Linsday
and Jennifer Sullivan for
paperback donations, and to
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fitts and
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Chap-
nan for memorial gifts.

is a vacation
in a
Gold Medallion Home!
Summertime is vacation time ...
when you can get away from daily chores
and relax. When you live in a new,
modern Gold Medallion Home, you're
on vacation every day of the year because
electricity does so much of the housework
for you. Electric heating and cooling
keep you comfortable. Your electric
kitchen cooks cool and clean. After supper
clean-ups go fast with your electric
dishwasher and disposer. And washday
is "easy day" when you have an electric
laundry. Low cost electricity from Seseo
makes Gold Medallion Home living
budget-easy, too. So move into your
year-round vacation home soon.

The big Rusk Lions Club
Youth Rodeo "has come and
went''. Lion President Glen
Stanley thinks that we had
a good one and the results
money wise will not be known
for a few days-got to get all
of those bills in. A lot of
Lions, Lioness, Leo Club
members and others put in an
awful amount of labor, tears
and sweat. So now it is Lit-
tle League Baseball and Sw-
imming Pool for the Lions to
work and wonder about.
One year ago, this month,
this Lions Club year began
with the big Lions Internat-
ional Convention. Now it is
time for the big Convention
to be in Mexico City in just
a few days. Let's make cer-
tain that the coming year is
even better, for progress of
the work of Lions Internar
ional can only bring further
benefits to a world in need.
Let's make it a year of gre
ater understanding and world
fellowship through the med-
ium of better community and
humanitarian service. Let .s
make it possible for us to
say, one year hence, that
Lionism is better.-and our
whole wide world is better--,
because you and I have worn
the lion emblem_ proudly and
have carried its message to
all who look to It for help.
This has been a year in which
the men of Lionism, work -
lng together as the greatest
team ever enlisted In the
cause of humanitarian ser-
vice, have established re-
cords unprecedented in the
history of or Association. In
order tobe alive, vigorous and
progressive, any organization
must maintain a constant and
substantial rate of growth.
Because the need and oppor-
tunities for community and
humanitarian service are st-
eadily growing. Lions In-
ternational must grow In man-
power to meet them. Yes, our
world is better today becau se
of the work our hearts, and
hands, have done during this
passing year. It is stimula-
ting to observe freedom-lov-
ing people serving mankind in
an unselfish manner and con-
tributing toward better under-
standing. Let us all work
harder than ever to make this
coming Lions Club year the
best ever in Rusk, in Texas,
