DEMONSTRATION
IS SCHEDULED
By L- A. WEISS, JR.
, , On. Wednesday, August 7, there
will be a demonstration at the
Heard Pens at Greta on drenching
cattle for liver flukes under the
direction of Dr. 0. W. Olsen and a
demonstration of the proper use of
“Stock 1037” for the control of the
Gulf Coast ear tick will be given
at that time.
Farmers and ranchers interested
in this type of work who plan to
attend this demonstration, the
drenching will be in progress from
7:30 to 9:00 a. m.
As you know, this is the time of
year when ranchmen have lots of
trouble with the Gulf Coast tick.
That’s the tick, of course, that gets
in the outer ear, the eyelids and
around the base of the horns. It
affects mostly cattle, horses, sheep,
goats and hogs . . . but the big
problem is with cattle, partly be-
cause there are more cattle in the
Gulf Coast country than of other
kinds of livestock.
The greatest loss from the tick
injury is that it makes so many
more screwworm cases. In some
years 80 percent of the screwworm
cases can be blamed on the tick.
Well, the USDA has come out
with a remedy, Stock 1087. It’s a
smear bases on DDT, and can be
made at home or bought commer-
cially. The treatment is effective
for 3 to 6 weeks. The formula for
making Stock 1037 can be obtain-
ed from County Agents-
Before Stock 1037 was discover-
ed some ranchmen in the coastal
area thought that regular mowing
of pastures helped lessen tick in-
festation. The government checked
on that and found it was true. The
tick population was consistently
lower on cattle in mowed pastures
than - in nearby unmowed ones.
There were, in fact, about eight
times as many ticks on animals in
the unmowed pastures.
Well, pretty near all the agricul-
tural experts recommend mowing of
pastures anyhow, for one reason
or another. There’s enough benefit
from mowing to warrant keeping it
up, even if Stock 1037 works out
as well as it looks like it will.

How Your Television “Commercial” Will Look
To enhance an impressive list of manufacturing “firsts,”
Chevrolet now engages in another pioneering venture as
the first motor car manufacturer to sponsor a regular
commercial television show. Admittedly an exploratory
venture to evaluate the 'possibilities of television as an
advertising medium, these broadcasts were the first
employing live talent to be sponsored by any automobile
producer. Four weekly shows were staged by Chevrolet
and broadcast through the facilities of the American
Broadcasting Company’s television network. The shows
were televised at the Dumont Studios in New York for
the three stations currently teamed in the ABC television
network. Shown above is a scene from the second of the
series, a half-hour program titled “Roads to Romance.”
CP&L Installs
Short Wave Antenna
Erection of an aerial antenna for
short wave broadcasting and re-
ceiving during an emergency has
been installed on the Refugio water
tower by the Central Power &
Light Co. at no cost to the city.
J. B. Wilson, local CP&L man-
ager, stated that portable equip-
ment is used in connection with the
antenna and that contact can be
made with Corpus Christi and Vic-
toria. The Central Power & Light
Co- maintains such portable equip-
ment on trucks at the present time
and these trucks are driven to an-
tenna locations as needed.
It was pointed out that all in-
stallation costs were paid for by
the power company, which will also
maintain the equipment although
it is on city property.
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Freeman and
daughter, Louise, of Benavides
spent Thursday to Sunday with Mr.
vand Mrs. E. J. Freeman. They were
joined Sunday by another daughter,
Miss Rennie Jean Freeman of San
Antonio, who returned to Bena-
vides with them for a visit.

side-Riehardson Co-Op Gin, report-
ed that he had ginned 63 bales of

that, community have ample sup-
ply of cotton pickers at this time
due to the fact that cotton is a
little slow about opening. Most of
the pickers being negroes from cen-
tral Texas. Mr. Jones* gin crew
are as follows: Otto Geistman, gin-
ner, from Brookshire, Texas; A.
