Tabulation of votes up to
Wednesday night, shows the
popular vote as follows:
Hoover, 12,588,841; Roosevelt,
17,248,872.
Rooaevelt’s electoral vote is
472. Hr. Hoover had 59.
For election 266 were neces-
sary, so it will be seen that
Roosevelt has been elected
with a greater number of elec-
toral votes than Hoover re-
ceived in 1928 which totaled
444. Only Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut, Deleware, New
Hampshire, Vermont and

TINE TOMATOES FROM

SIOI15 CITY
Shout its praises from the
housetops, put out high-power-
ed advertising, operate special
trains with home-seekers, raise
the price of the land several
times its present selling price,
select some of the most suc-
cessful truck growers with
their pantry shelves filled with
canned vegetables and their
gardens filled with fall crops
as convincing evidence, and lo,
and behold, this section could
be transformed into another
“Valley” or California.
We believe it could even be
made to surpass some of the
widely-heralded truck-grow-
ing sections.
For instance: Large fine, to-
matoes from fall crops in this
section have been on the mar-
ket for the past several days.
Fine English peas, fine rad-
ishes, fine cabbage—all fall
crops, are on sale in this vi-
cinity! Messrs. J. W. Co try
and J. E. Grant, truck grow-
ers of this section were in town
Thursday morning with toma-
toes ar.d English peas from
their truck patches near town,
and they found a ready market
for the entire lot Other truck
growers are selling tomatoes
from their fall crops, we are
informed.
There are numerous fall
gardens in this section, supply-
ing fresh vegetables to many
families, and as time goes by
a home without a fall garden
—as well as the spring garden
—will no doubt be hard to find,
lor it seems that the true
greatness of East Texas soil
and climate is just beginning
to be appreciated.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Orchard Owner: ' When is
the best time to treat my peach
and plum trees for peach
borers?
County Agent: Peach trees
and plum trees infested with
peach borers should be treated
with paradkholorobenzen dar-
ing late September, October,
and early November. The daily
temperature should be 60-70 F.
for best results. One ounce per
tree should be applied to trees
over three years of age. Trees
one to three years should be
treated with one-half ounce
per tree- In applying the
paradicholorobenzen, pull the
soil hack from the body of the
tree to the crown of the root
system. Scrape off all gum and
loose bark, then mound the
soil around the trunk four or
six inches above the surround-
ing ground level. Smooth off
the top of the mound and on it
pour the p. d. b. in a circle two
inches from the trunk. In six
to eight weeks pull the mounds
down to the surrounding soil
level
Orchard Owner: I have a
light infestation of San Jose
Scale on my trees. What would
you advise to get rid of them?
County Agent: If you have
only a small orchard you can
control San Jose Scale on a
half dozen rees by using a
strong soap solution, made by
dissolving a pound of soap in a
gallon of water, and giving tbe
trees a first class scrubbing. A
stiff brush should be used and
every inch of scale-covered
bark should be scrubbed.
Where a large number of trees
in an orchard has been attack-
ed by scale, it is best to use oB.
emulsion or concentrated lime
sulphur. These spray materi-
als should be applied only
when the trees are dormant.
Oil emulsion can be prepared
at home or purchased from in-
secticide companies. In Exten-
sion Bulletin B-73 you will find
detailed information on lime
sulphur preparation. Tbe home
mixed oil emulsion is made as
follows:
Paraffine base engine oil, 1
gallon; fish oil soap, 1 pound;
water, one-half gallon.
The oil can be bought'at lo-
cal filling stations or the deal-
er can get it for you. For best
results the oil should have the
following specifications: vis-
cosity 100-105, specific graviy
.887, sulphonaion test 6 5.
The oil, soap and water are
placed in a pot and the mix-
ture heated until it comes to a
boil. When it begins to boil,
a brown scum will appear, but
within a short time the scum
begins to disappear. At this
stage and while the mixture is
still hot, remove it from tbe
fire and pump it through a
spray pump twice at a pressure
of 60-100 pounds. For a dor-
mant spray to control San Jose
Scale, mix lVfc gallons of this
stock solution to 50 gallons
water. If the water is "hard,”
add one-half poand sal. soda
to 50 gallons water before add-
ing the oil stock solution.
Orchard Owner: What can I
plant in my orchard as a win-
ter or spring cover crop to in-
crease the fertality of the soil?
County Agent: Oats planted
in the fall using 1 to 2 bushels
per acre and grown until
spring can be turned under
while still green to improve the
soil. A few orchard owners
who are using a mixture of a
bushel of oats and thirty
pounds of Austrian winter peas
are enthusiastic over the re-
suits of last year's crop. The
peas seem to do better when
planted with oats for support.
In South Texas, planting
should be done February 1-30,
North Texas, March 1-30.
When the oats and peas have
attained a height of 18-24
inches, the crop should be
plowed or disced into the soil.
