Tells How To Guard
Against Cockroaches
The conscientious housewife doesn't
broadcast the news when cockroaches
invade her home. But, according to
Cameron Siddall, entomologist of the
A. and M. College Extension Service,
it is hot a social error if the evil in-
sects appear in any well-appointed
kitchen. In parts of Texas they may
develop out of doors and crawl or
fly in. They have no social prefer-
ences and thrive equally well in the
mansion or humble cottage, espec-
ially if the eating is good.
Siddal offers comfort to aflicted
homos with th assurance that roach-
es easily may be eliminated when the
source of infestation can be control-
i d. Crack fillers, such as putty,
plastic wood, or plaster of paris will
close many openings used by roaches
as avenues to hiding places. Open-
ings can be located by watching
roaches run for concealment. All
cracks around water and drainage
pipes passing through floors, and
those leading to spaces behind base-
boards, door and window trims must
be filled.
'Sodium fluoride powder is recom-
mended to control Toaches, and gives
best results when used with a small
dust gun. An inexpensive fly spray
is satisfactory. The powder should
be dusted into all cracks behind base-
boards, moldings, sinks land other
places in which roaches hide. Sod-
ium fluoride is poisonous to humans
and should be used with great care.
The sprayer should be perfectly dry
and the poison in a fine powdered
form. If a sprayer is not available,
I fair results may be obtained by
sprinkling the powder into the pla-
ces mentioned and in the roach runs.
A thin film of poison is more ef-
fective than when used in targe
quantities.
Cotton now is being felted into a
base fabric, impregnated with as-
phalt, and used as roofing material.
The giant redwood tree at matur-
ity produces enough lumber to build
150 five-room houses.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
To All
Automobile Owners
It will be necessary for every motor vehicle own-
er to secure certificates of title on their motor vehic-
les immediately as operation of their vehicles on the
highways after January 1, 1942 without said vehic-
les being titled will be a violation of the law.
Section 63, paragraph C. of the Certificate of Title
Act provides ithat the owner of a Motor vehicle reg-
istered in this state shall not after January 1, 1942,
operate or permit the operation of any motor vehicle
upon any highway without first obtaining a certifi-
cate of title therefor from the Department, nor shall
any person operate any such motor vehicle upon the
public highways knowing or having reason to believe
that the owner has failed to obtain a certificate of title
therefor.
This does not apply to vehicles purchased new prior
to January 1, 1936.

Good Record Made In
Forest Fire Control
An enviable fire record for tde
first eleven months of 1941 as com-
pared to the fire situation in 1940 is
reported by M. V. Dunmire, District
Forester, in charge of the forest pro-
tection work in Division No. 2 in
North-central East Texas, compris-
ing Cherokee county and parts of
Anderson, Rusk, Nacogdoches, Shel-
by, Panola, and Houston counties.
This forest protection division, total-
ing over 1,807,000 acres gross, em-
braces eleven Patrol Districts rang-
ing in size from 75,000 to 272,000
acres under the direct charge of a
forest patrolman.
For the period January 1 to No-
vember 30, 1941, there have occurred
in this division 105 forest fires which
have burned over 2,377 acres of for-
est land. During the year of 1940
there occurred 359 forest fires which
burned over 10,170 acres. Five of the
Patrol Districts in 1941 had 36 fires
with a burned area of only 256 acres
or an average of ony 7.1 acres per
fire, while the remaining six patrol
Districts have had 65 fires with 2,121
acres burned over.
Based on the fire occurrence trend
this year, District Forester Dunmire
anticipates a Division No. 2 record
for 1941 that will show great im-
provement over all previous years.
"While considerable credit for our
good record "may be attributed to
favorable weather conditions, still
prompt attention, efficient work of
the fire fighting personnel in the
District, and splendid cooperation of
the citizenry must be given credit in
evaluating this year's fire record to
date," Dunmire says.
Outlook For Beef
Production Bright
Texas should be able to furnish
without straining its resources 18
per cent more cattle and calves for
marketing and home slaughter in
1942 than it did in 1940, according
to A. L. Smith, animal husbandman
of the A. and M. College Extension
Service.
This is the minimum quota allot-
ted to the state by the Texas USD A
Defense Board in the Food for Free-
dom program. Texas is expected to
furnish an increase of 269,093,000
pounds and a total output of 1,764,-
053,000 pounds in 1942.
Returning recently from a survey;
of the cattle-raising areas of south
and west Texas, Smith forecast a
high "average spring calf crop be-
cause cows generally have had un-
usually good pasture and are going
into the winter in excellent condi-
tion. But he did not look for any ma-
terial increase in existing herds next
year. There is considerable weeding
of sterile and over-age cows, espec-
ially when in good flesh, but he did
not observe that any of these are be-
ing put into feed lots. On account of
prevailing prices large numbers of
cattle are being grazed on wheat and
other small grains, with a supple-
ment of cottonseed cake.
Texas calves contracted for fall
delivery by out-of-state feeders have
been moved and very few are going
out of the state at this time, Smith
said.
USDA economists have pointed out
the desirability of increasing market-
ing and slaughter of cattle and calves
during the coming year. They sug-
gest that unless marketings are in-
creased, there will be a continued
expansion in numbers of cattle and
calves on farms and ranches with
heavy marketings in subsequent
years when consumer demand con-
ditions may not be as favorable as
they are expected to be next year.
To curb cattle theft, a law effec-
tive November 1 requires all cattle
dealers in Massachustts to be licens-
ed and to carry metal plates show-
ing that fact on every truck.
Rubber can be grown In at least
15 Latin American countries—from
southern Mexico to northern Bolivio.

vision reports that 20 per cent of its
rejections were for dental defects
and nearly 14 per cent for defective
eyes.

Scientific Feeding
Of Dairy Cows Needed
Scientific feeding will determine
the success and profit with whic Tex-
as dairymen meet the national de-
mand for increased milk production.
A. J. Riddle, President of the Tex-
as Dairy Products Association says,
"To obtain the 14% increase in milk
asked by the Government it will be
necessary for Texas dairymn to give
more thought to scientific feeding
than ever before. You can feed a
profit into a dairy herd, but you
can't starve one into it. The maxim
of the Texas dairy cow might well be,
"I'll give, if I get." Starving a dairy
cow does not necessarily mean de-
priving the animal of sufficient for-
age and water to cause death. It
means lack of proper concentrates
and balanced rations the starving of
the sensitive organic structures with
which she produces milk.
For these reasons the dairyman
should check carefully and scientifi-
cally the rations on which the dairy,
(herd will go into the barn on this
winter. The tremendous crop J>f
home-grown grains and ensilage are
but a portion of the dairyman's an-
swer to his feeding problem. To con-
stitute a profitable dairy ration these
must be fortified with proteins and
minerals, the better and more varied,
the more certain the result.
