County Agents Report
by Marvin Henry
Field inspections were made of
wheat by Emory Boring, Area Exten-
sion Entomologist, and Marvin Hen-
ry, County Extension Agent, on
January 7th.
Fields near Scotland in both Clay
and Archer County and north and west
of Windthorst to Onion Creek were
inspected.
Winter grain mites were very light.
Greenbug numbers were as high as 50
per foot of row in older fields.
Hessian fly were found in their flax
seed overwintering stage in all fields
of older wheat. To find these, look at
the crown of the plant at soil line or
below. They will be in the dead or
dying tillers usually in the middle of
the plant stool. They are 1/4 to 1/3
inches long and will be just inside the
leaf sheaf near the crown.
There are two generations of the
Hessian fly-fall and spring. From the
number of fall flies, we can probably
expect damage this spring. Spring
1992 field inspections indicated
moderate levels. Hessian flies were
found as far as Black Flat last April.
As temperatures warm this spring
the flies will emerge and lay 250-300
eggs in clusters of 5-12. The larva
will travel down the leaf sheaf to the
first or second joint and sometimes to
the crown.
Insecticides have not been effective
for control. Delayed planting, use of
resistant varieties and burial of crop
residue helps to control numbers.
Hessian flies also attack barley and
rye.

: Letter lo :
• The Editor :
The recent letter published, written
by Mr. Claude Cook, prompts me to
respond to his comments.
One need only to look at history
sir, to realize that liberals in control
of congress and the presidency have
never created fiscal responsibility, but
the opposite. You claim the Reagan -
Bush administrations, borrow and bor-
row, however you fail to mention the
congress led by the Democratic Party
for the last 50 years, has controlled
the spending and appropriations of the
U.S. government.
It was your liberal politicians who
placed an EPA regulation on fining
oil operators if migratory birds land in
the water and oil pits and die, yet
approve, support and promote pro-
choice and pro-abortion policies. Your
liberal politicians put the life of birds
above the life of innocent unborn
babies.
The illustrious liberals of congress,
on January 7th, 1993, voted a rules
change to allow representatives in the
District of Columbia to vote in regu-

lar congressional action. Previous to
that they could only act in committee.
Our constitution has deemed every
voting entity must be a state of the un-
ion, or a part of a state of the union to
have voting representation. Your liber-
al democrats prefer to change the rules
in violation of the U.S. Constitution
instead of making D.C. become a
state as all have before her. The Re-
publican minority in the house and
senate has filed federal suite with the
U.S. Justice department to force this
into constitutional judicial litigation.
The liberals you put on a pedestal
are the very politicians that are advis-
ing Mr. Clinton to enact a $.15 per
gallon gas tax. The liberals you sup-
port are the advisors who support
taxing Americans on the benefits they
get from their employer, such as med-
ical and life premiums. The new liber-
al President we will soon inherit, is
the fastest switch hitter America has
ever seen. Throughout his campaign
the claims he was the education candi-
date for strengthening public educa-
tion, yet on January 6, 1993, he
places his child in a $10,000 per year
private school.
I will confess this country faces
several problems from past administra-
tions and the struggle to become eco-
nomically correct is a long one. I also
confess that democrats and republi-
cans alike have had a hand in misguid-
ing this country. On the other hand,
your proclaiming that liberals will set
this country on the right path hasn't
happened throughout political history
without making our problems worse.
Simply put Mr. Cook, when Bill
Clinton gets through passing the ex-
tra tax legislation, in the form of
fees, add-ons and yes probably even
an IRS income tax increase, not to
just those who make above $200,000
but to lower and middle income class
citizens; when he finishes with legis-
lation that creates more regulations to
control our private businesses and our
private lives (the democrats are the
best at regulating our everyday lives),
we will be in the very same status we
were when Jimmy Carter got through
with us, 20% inflation and 18% bank
rates on loans and the weakest U.S.
military status in history and windfall
profits on an oil industry that is the
very breath and life on economic sta-
bility in Archer County and most of
Texas, and enough federal EPA regula-
tions that have forced small business
operators to give up the first four
months profits to pay taxes and fees
on the average.
The statement you make of liberals
being fiscally responsible, spells eco-
nomic problems for average Ameri-
cans. What is amazing to me, is that
Americans, in being led by the media
to believe this country is in a sad
state, desperately grope for whatever
change they can find; but don't have
enough knowledge of politics to
understand the liberal political sector
of this country holds the key to lock
on American socialism and they are
dying to use it.
I find it very interesting that our
new President campaigned on the pro-
gram of raising $20 billion to spur the
economy and to raise taxes to do so,
yet the new administration advisors
have no plan to cut the deficit. Where
are those fiscal-minded liberals you
talk about, Mr. Cook? Is is possible
they are like liberals have been for the
last 50 years, telling you what you
want to hear to get elected then doing
the opposite? Do you find it inter-
esting, Mr. Cook, that the majority of
the hot-check writing congressmen last
year were democrats who vote in the
liberal manner you write about?
The last thing this country needs is
liberal policies and liberal control of
our government.
