Stalk Destruction,
Farm Clean-up Will
Reduce Boll Weevil
This years early cotton harvest
makes possible early stalk destruc-
tion and farm cleanup by Texas pro-
ducers, says R. L. Ridgway, Entp
mology Department, Texas A&M
College.
According to the entomologist,
stalk destruction and farm cleanup
not only lower the pink bollworm
population but destroy the food sup-
ply of the boll weevil and reduce the
number that survive the winter.
Heavy insect infestations next year
can be prevented by doing a good
job of early stalk destruction now.
The use of stalk shredders is rec-
ommended by Ridgway because
these machines kill many of the pink
bollworms left in the field after har-
vest. He also advises plowing under
the shredded residue to the depth
of 6 inches within 5 days of cutting.
Stripper harvesting aids greatly in
reducing the number of pink boll-
worms because large amounts of the
infested material is stripped from
fees or desiring applications arc
urged to call Mrs. Gingrich at EM4-
1802.
Briefly, the aim of CBHA train-
ing is to train handicapped people
in certain practical skills, both so-
cial and economic, so that the ones
who can, will go out to hold jobs,
either in open competition or in
sheltered workshops.
Admission of pupils is made after
evaluation of the application by the
school staff, family doctors and
whatever testing personnel have al-
ready tested the applicant.
On September 1, at 10 a.m. there
will be a meeting of the staff and
any parents who have made appli-
cation for their children so that a
full understanding of the program
may be had before admission is
made.

the stalks and carried to the gins
where pink bollworms are killed in
the ginning process, the entomolo-
gist adds.
An exception to the recommenda-
tions to shred stalks is made in the
northwest part of the state where
low temperatures will generally kill
the pink bollworms in exposed bolls
on the stalks, says Ridgway. Since
deadlines for the destruction of
stalks is fast approaching in some
parts of the state, cotton producers
should begin plans now, he suggests.
For additional information on
stalk destruction, refer to L-219,
"Ways to Fight the Pink Bollworm
in Texas,” and MP-444, “Pink Boll-
worm Control as Related to the To-
tal Cotton Insect Control Program
of Central Texas.” These publica-

Here in South Texas, people use more electricity when the weather is hot —
and this summer has been e scorcher!
During hot weather it takes more electricity to keep your home cool, operate
your refrigerator and food freezer, and help you enjoy outdoor living. At
the same time, I still have all my year-round chores to do — cooking, cleaning,
lighting, washing and drying clothes and dishes, heating water, providing
entertainment and helping you live better, electrically, in many other way£
So, if your bill for electric service is higher than usual, think what a summer
would be like without it. Think of all the good things electricity does for you,
and 1 know you’ll agree—electric service from CPL is still your biggest bargain.

HERE AND THERE
; As the cotton harvest ends in our
j area, mothers are busy getting ready
for the fateful day (the first day of
school) which begins this coming
Tuesday Talking to most mothers,
they will be glad and are anticipat-
ing a rest after the bus has started
running. Read an article the other
day and it said to mothers who have
school children, the longest day in
the year is the day before school
starts and this seems to be very true.
Merchants have looked forward to
this season and parents have plan-
ned for it for some time. I imagine
it takes more to dress one child now
than it did a whole big family thirty
years ago. Of course in those days the
children went barefooted to school
until cold weather. Can’t imagine
what it would be like to tell a child
it had to start to school barefooted
now—they would think they were dis-
I graced for life—times have changed

Training School
For Handicapped
To Begin Sept. 10
The Coastal Bend Habilitation As-
sociation is making plans this week
for opening a fall session, September
10, at the Training Center in Corpus
Christi.
Mr. 0. A. Gingrich, Sinton direc-
tor of CBHA, announces that appli-
cations are being accepted now for
two full classes at a tuition fee of
$40. Fortino Saenz, director in Cor-
pus Christi, will instruct the men
and Mrs. William Spence will teach
the young women.
The classes will operate from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. five days a week with
the students bringing sack lunches
until other arrangements can be
made.
Anyone interested in the program,
needing assistance with the tuition
and I for one, am proud of these
changes. Americans as a whole have
enjoyed a great rise in the living
standards and I think we should all
be proud of this.
I would like to remind all drivers
in the St. Paul area to remember
that there will be a host of children
out at the roads this Tuesday waiting
for the buses; so drive slow when
you approach them. Children are
very unpredictable and you never
know when one may be playing and
back out into the road or dart across
it for a ball just as you get to them.
Let’s all do our part to make this
school year a safe one. The burden
of the children should not be put
totally on the drivers; parents should
do their best to see that their chil-
dren are given proper instructions
on safey habits and too, that they
are watched at the roads.
