With Chemicals
Industry Veterans enrolled in
the Austin County Vocational

and other plant growth, accord-

the Industry class.
The effective chemical con-

1938 Class Members
And Guests Reunite
Sunday Night
Members of the Class of 1938
met for a reunion at Club Ren-
dezvous Sunday night, Septem-
ber Sth, with thirteen graduates
present. Members and guests to-
taled twenty-four.
Vernon Madden served as
toastmaster during the program,
during which members gave ac-
counts of interesting incidents
relative to their school days. Mrs.
Francis Miksovsky, the former
Miss Margaret Engelking, of
Angleton, who served as class
president, gave an impromptu
talk, complimenting on the splen-
did entertaining feature planned.
Mrs. Leo Campbell, formerly Miss
Lucille Beyer, read the class
prophecy, which she had written
in 1938. Mrs. Isadore Taska, nee
Miss Waldine Severin, read a
poem which she wrote in her
senior year.
As members and their guests
were seated around the pretty
table, adorned with blue and sil-
ver, the class colors, they enjoy-
ed a banquet meal of tomato
students. Fifty-five gallons of
diluted 2-4-D was sprayed over
approximately 500 yards of grape
vines growing along the end of
a field, retarding cultivation and
creating a disagreeable blur on
the scenery, besides acting as a
winter hiding place for countless
harmful insects.
Gale reports that one light
application of 2-4-D completely
killed some grapevines that had
previously prevailed against cut-
ting and burning. Previous tests
were run on the same farm a-
gainst various weeds and brush.
Almost complete control was ob-
tained on weeks; however, the
treatment was not as effective
on brush.
With the recent application of
2-4-D, grapevines along the en-
tire fence row were controlled
at a total cost of one dollar and
twenty-five cents. One pint of
2-4-D was diluted with fifty-five
gallons of water and sprayed,
with a power sprayer, over the
grapes until the entire vines
were covered. Within twenty-
four hours the leaves were all
wilted, and within a week, the
vines were completely dead. This
method of chemical control was
easy and the savings in labor
much more than paid for the ex-
pense.
Several other members of the
Industry class have also been us-
ing 2-4-D effectively as a control
over weeds. With no exception
this has proven to be an efficient
method of eradicating undesir-
able weeds from pastures, and
no damage has been done to de-
sired grasses. However, 2-4-D
will kill certain desirable plants
and should always be used with
caution. More of this chemical
is expected to be used in the fu-
ture on various farms of the
members of the Industry class.

Yes, Eveline, my only daughter,
Has been in the U. S. A.
With Audrey, my darling grand-

Fresh linens and flowers every-

And the garden trimmed up so
neatly;
And the weather, too, seems so
fair.
At the gate, Granny Simpson is
waiting,
And neighbors and friends gath-
er near,
For today is a day of rejoicing,
Her darling Eveline soon will
be there.
Looking up at the blue sky
above her,
With grateful thanks, she offers
a prayer.
Dear God, bring my loved one
home to me,
Keep her safe in Thy loving
care.
