County Agent Tells of
Cut Worm Control
A Tiawljr Article at Thin Season Sub-
mitted by W. 8. Childerss. Coun-
ty Agent.
Our own observations indicate that
a general infestation by cut worms is
not to be expected this season advises
R. R. Reppert, Entomologist Exten-
sion Service, A. and M. College. The
scarcity of reports reaching us seems
to bear us out in this belief. How-
ever, no year passes but some small
section at least experiences considera-
ble damage from them, and we think
it wise to pass out information on
the it costrol.
Cut worms hatch in late fall from
eggs laid by the last brood of moths.
These little worms feed upon grass
and weeds that are present at that
time, continuing their feeding on such
vegetation as withstands the colder
weather during the winter. On the oc-
casion of freezing weather they bur-
row into the ground below the frost

line to reappear when the tempera-
ture moderates.
Since they must feed intermittently
during the winter, the most practical
measures of control consist in break-
ing up the soil in late fall or early
winter, and following this at intervals
by harrowing or discing to keep down
all weed and grass growth. This pro-
cedure starves them before cultivated
crops appear in the spring. Fields
thus treated during the present win-
ter will experience a minimum of dam-
age this spring.
Where clean-up measures, such as
are suggested, have been neglected,
not a great deal of relief can be ex-
pected from their application at this
time. In this case relief from dam-
age, if damage occurs, will have to
be sought in the use of poison barn
mash. This is practically 100 per
cent effective, but must be used as
soon as damage becomes evident. The
mash is made after the following for-
mula:
Paris green or white ar-
senic 1 lb.
Coarse wheat bran 20 lbs.
Lemons finely ground in a
meat chopper (juice in-
cluded) .. 6 fruits
Cane or sorghum molasses 2 quarts
Water sufficient to make a moist
mash that will not be sloppy.
The poison and bran are mixed to-
gether thoroughly while dry. The liq-
uid materials, including about two
gallons of water, are thoroughly
mixed and then added to the bran
mixture and the whole mixed by
hand so that every particle of bran
is moist. Additions of water are made
until a mash is obtained as wet as
possible and still so that it readily
fails apart when being distributed.
Cut worms remain hidden during
the day aad (Md at Bight They are
beat attracted to the potion maah
when it it moist, eoasequeatly appli-
cation should be made in the late af
ternoon. For the protection of cot
ton and field crop* drilled in rows,
it should be distributed In a thin line
along the row, the cotton planter of-
ten being utilised for this purpose.
A thin line mash can also be used
for garden crops in rows. If the gar-
den or field crops are planted in hills,
it will often be best to distribute the
poison mash at the base of the plants,
about one-fourth teaspoonful being
used to each hill.

Write* To News
Wishes the Maaageneat aad All of
His Barlseoa County Friends
Well.
This week the News received quite
a lengthy letter from Mr. N. E. Flan-
ingan of Terrell, Texas, in which he
wishes his friends in the county well
■hopes that they will enjoy another
prosperous year.
Mr. Flaningan was formerly a res-
ident of this county for many years.
About a year ago he moved to Ter-
rell to live.
Inclosed in Mr .Flaningan's letter
was a check for his subscription to the
News. He wants to keep up with the
progress of the county and believes
that the local paper is the best way,
for it goes out regularly—contains all
of the worthy new3 of the county that
he could hope to get any other way.
Mr. Flaningan did not state how he
is getting alcng, but presuming from
the tone of his letter, he and his wife
are doing nicely.
New Subscriptions
Mounting Daily
The end of each week the News has
to revise its mailing list to keep it
fresh and current. Weekly old sub-
scribers are renewing and many new
ones are being added. • This requires
constant revision to keep expiration
dates up to date.
Last week when this part of the
work came to hand it was found that
the cases which hold the subscribers'
names was too full to add any more.
On looking the shop over no more
galleys could be found. It was nec-
essary therefore, to order some to
take care of the overflow.
This feature of the newspaper and
printing business is very encouraging
along with the other ends. It indi-
cates that the people of the county
are better pleased and want to pat-
ronize the business—help along.
The News wants to again thank
every one who has subscribed for the
paper, bought advertising space and
contributed in any way towards help-
ing to make the local newspaper bus-
iness the success it is.
Caldwell Citizen
Goes to Cotton Meet
W. M. Milliard Appointee of Gover-
nor Moody Leaves Today for Jackson,
Mississippi, to Attend Cotton
Conference.
W. M. Milliard who was appointed
by Governor Dan Moody as one of
the Texas representatives to attend
the cotton acreage reduction confer-
ence that is to be held in Jackson,
Mississippi, on the 20th, leaves to-lay
to take part in the proceedings of that
meeting.
From press reports of telegrams
received by Governor Moody from ap-
pointees, more than fifty Texas rep-
resentatives will be in attendance, as
well as a large delegation from other
cotton growing states.
The conference referred to was in-
itiated by Governor Moody and has
been called for the purpose of taking
specific action to reduce the cotton
acreage throughout the south again
this year.
This meeting is considered of prime
importance, in view of the fact that
there is still a large carry over of
cotton. It is generally considered by
ones in authority or versed with the
economic condition of the south gen-
erally, that another large cotton crop
produced this year, would mean ruin
to the agricultural and business in-
terests.
Governor Moody considered the sit-
uation so needful, for concerted ac-
tion throughout the south, that he
shouldered the responsibility for call-
ing the conference, with the hope in
view that the leaders can work out
some cooperative plan whereby the
farmers will reduce their acreage of
cotton during 1928.
Judge Hilliard will probabl? be
gone five or six days. He expects to
take his time and see some parts of
that country while away.
Frank Skrivanek of Temple a resi-
dent of this place, is a visitor this
week, being the guest of his sis />rs,
Misses Rosa and Annie Skrivar.ek.
Frank, as he is familiarly known to
his Caldwell friends, reports having
recently sold hi# drug interests in
Temple, and is undecided as to just
what he will do in the future.

The
POLICY
of
PROGRESS
A STATEMENT
by
GENERAL MOTORS
I
-T is the policy of Gen-
eral Motora to maintain continuous improtwmenti
in every one of its car divisions, with no interrup-
tion in production.
Tliia means that you enjoy the benefit* of
new engineering developments promptly —just as
soon as they have been thoroughly tested on the
1245-acre Proving Ground.
It means that you can now order the new
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Buiclt,
LaSalle, Cadillac, or GMC Truck, and receive
immediate delivery.
Behind this policy of continuous improvement
is an organization so widespread and resourceful
that it can make and sell quality automobiles
more economically than any automobile manu-
facturer in the world.
In the north and south it logs and mills its
own lumber. In the east it makes its own ball
bearings and radiators. In the middle west it
produces its own plate glass. Its plants are busy
In 33 important American cities.
From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are
obtained. Its sales and service take place through
33,000 dealers. IVIore than 275,000 families look
directly to General Motor for their livelihood —
almost a million and a half men, women and
children in every community in the land.
Meaning so much to so many, General Motors
has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead.
Are there methods by which General Motors
cars can be better built to better serve?
Are there new ideas which can increase the
utility and pleasure and safety of motoring?
Are there new materials which can add to
owner satisfaction?
Such arc the questions that all General Motors
engineers have always asked. The answers have
made it possible, year after year, to offer an in-
creasing measure of beauty in design, modern
performance, riding comfort and distinct style.
Thus in every price class, from Cadillac to Chevro-
let, purchasers are constantly benefiting from the
General Motora policy of progress.
