MUCHDAMACE

Falls Says Greater Havoc Hn,

The cotton crop in Pasquo-

according to G.. w. Falls, coun-
ty agent, who says he has seen
infestation ranging from 10 to
20 per cent on certain farms in
Nixonton and Salem town
ships, and doesn't doubt that as
high a percentage may be
found in some fields in othcp
townships.
Mr.. Falls doesn't mean that the
damage has yet run to So high u per-
ccntagr as has infrStatiOn. He
does believe however, that unless
the farmers take steps to fight the
pests. the damage may run to as
much as 81 per cent. ''T" sit idly

Wheat Growers Pefectng
Statewide Organization

In the keynote address Of the 10000
membership campaign for the Colo
RADIO Wheat Growers association at
Holly, Tuesday afternoon, Edgar
L. Ludwick, secretary of the Oregon
Wheat Growers association, made an
urgent plea to producers of the state
for a united cooperative movement
as the single solution for the future
success of farming There is one
great thing remaining for the coop
erative farmer to accomplish, and that
is to enroll his brother producers into
system which already was proven
practical, and, best of all, successful"
Mr. Ludwick said: More volume is
one of the chief detectives, and to
gain this the enlistment of the ma
jority is imperative. The plan pros
pered in its infancy with but scant
representation. The possibilities with
additional members mean proportion
ately greater success. Southeastern
Colorado is the scene OF a vigorous
campaign this week, with local and
organization forces concentrating
their efforts in that locality.
