Control Of Slink
Bugs On Rice
Bv RAYFORD G. KAY
County Agricultural Agent
We have been receiving inquiries
about how to control stink bugs in
rice. According to C. F. Garner,
Extension Entomologist, it has
6een observed that Dieldrin, Toxa-
phene and Aldrin have not given
satisfactory control of stink bugs.
If you are not getting control with
the above insecticides we recom-
mend Malathion. The recommended
rate is one pint of 57% emulsion
concentrate per acre. Malathion has
recently been approved for use in
rice and can be applied up to 7 days
before harvest.
Due to rules and regulations
established by the Pure Food and
Drug Administration regarding in-
secticides used on rice, farmers
must observe the following restric.
lions:
DIELDRIN—do not apply within
20 days of harvest.
TOXAPIIENE — do not apply
within 14 days of harvest.
ALDRIN—do not apply within 7
days of harvest.
MALATHljON — do not apply
within 7 days of harvest.
Contact the county agent’s of-
fice for MP-339, “Texas Guide for
Controlling Insects on Corn, Sorg
hum, Small Grains and Grasses.”
Rev. Clinton Harris of the First
Methodist Church attended the 7th

ville from July 19 to 25.

dener is “Weed ’em and reap.”

FISHING—
(Continued From Page 1)
mall trout, large croakers, and
hum, they did get several rat
reds and small flounder. Then Sun-
lay morning, a school of sheeps-
head moved in, and everyone fish-
ng from the pier had long string-
>rs of these fish, running about
three fourths of a pound to one
pound.
Pompano are reported at Wells
Point. The bait used is both live
shrimp and fiddler crabs. When
the water is clear, hook a crab so
that it is able to crawl on the
bottom, and as pompano feed on
crustaceans, they cannot resist
this tempting bait. The pompano
have averaged one to two pounds.
Prior to the storm, lots of school
trout came in from the Spoil Banks
and Oil Wells.

News in capsules:
People who lose an arm or leg
cannot grow them back again. Fish,
however, are able to re-grow fins
which are lost. In Minnesota, pel-
vic fins were removed from 290
trout. In a little more than 14
months, 31.5 per cent had com-
plete fin regeneration and 47.5 had
partially recovered their append-
ages.
An irate Memphis woman, fineo
ten dollars and assessed court costs
of eleven dollars for fishing with-
out a license, got her revenge re-
cently hy paying off with 2,100
pennies.
In upper Sandusky, Ohio, a fe-
male fox terrier adopted four baby
racoons. It was not long before
the foster mother was in a state of
near collapse (such as human
mothers often get raising a family)
when she tried to keep her unusual
young ones from climbing trees and
performing other antics somewhat
foreign to terrier puppies.

piece. Material in the booklet

fresh and salt water record catches
—also lots of photos. Write to Pub.

Hints on using anchors:
Don’t leave anchor and line ly-
ing around the cockpit floor. Buy
a plastic dishpan, place the an-
chor in the center, and coil the line
around its sides for a neat and con-
venient package.
An old sailor’s trick is to insert
several feet of heavy chain between
anchor and line. This can increase
your anchor’s holding power con-
siderably. The chain lies on the
bottom exerting a horizontal pull
on the anchor’s shank rather than
the upward pull of a simple line.
When your boat bobs with the
waves, the chain rises and falls on
the bottom, protecting the anchor
from this jerking motion.
Be sure your line is long enough.
The length of your line should be
five times the depth of the water
for safe anchoring. Check your
anchor rope often.

Matagorda County
Conservation News
Cooperators of the Matagorda
County Soil Conservation District
are among those honored by is-
suance of the world’s first soil con-
servation stamp, Eric N. Culver
said today.
Mr. Culver said the stamp, to be
issued August 26 at Rapid City,
South Dakota, is “a tribute to the
nation’s conservation farmers (and
/or ranchers) including the Mata-
gorda County Soil Conservation
District cooperators of the local
district, which has been operating
since November, 1949,
“The 4-cent stamp is in recogni-
tion of the farmers (and/or ranch-
ers) who are demonstrating good
soil stewardship,” Culver said. “It
is a salute to their soil conserva-
tion districts, and to the profes-
sional workers of State and Fed-
eral government who help them.”
The stamp will go on sale Aug-
ust 26 at Rapid City, South Da-
kota, at the annual meeting of the
Soil Conservation Society of Amer-
ica, a professional organization,
Culver said.
On the following day, the stamp
will go on sale at other post offices
throughout the country, including
the Palacios and other post of-
fices in the county.
Mr, Culver said local observance
of the issuance of the soil conserva-
tion stamp is being planned.

“Ar.d I thought I was a good driver ...”
A really good driver
never takes anything for granted! Every driver
should expect the unexpected and be prepared to react fast. Quick think-
ing in a pinch is a lifesaver. So don’t take anything for granted. Over-
confidence can dull the sharpest reflexes. Many of the 37,000 people killed
on our highways last year might still be alive if good drivers never relied
on chance. Drive as though your life depended on it—it does!
