BaIIoting To Decide
Wheat Market Quotas
tcontinusd from First Page,

When the voting in each COM
munity is completed, the counting
OF the ballots will be made public.
As soon as the referendum results
are tabulated in each county they
will be forwarded to the state AAA
office. National results will be COM
piled by the U. s. Department Of
Agriculture in Washington.
.'At the start of the new wheat
marketing year on July l." says
Stelzer, "the United States will have
the largest carry-over of wheat on
record. When added to the new
crop now coming up, this carry
over makes prospective supply Of
nearly ia billion bushels for the
coming year. This is nearly twice
the amount needed to feed America
for one year. So marketing quota
referendum becomes mandatory at
this time"
Now every farmer affected by
the wheat quota may cast a vote
whether he grows wheat on 20 or
on 10000 acres.
Stelzer urges all wheat farmers
to find out from their county AAA
committeeman whether or not they
are eligible to cast q vote in the
referendum. If two-thirds of the
farmers voting on May 81 approve,
the, quota will become effective.

Sleepers Stirred By
Man Hunt On Marsh
CONTINUED from Eirst Passl

Sergeant Rust started after one
of the men and Officer Nutter after
the other. Both officers fired their
reVolvers in the air, but this did
not stop the fugitives. However, it
did bring most of the residents in
the vicinity out of beds.
The chase through the thick un-
dergrowth in the dark lasted nearly
an hour, before each officer finally
captured his man.
Just before Sergeant Rust made
his capture, he stumpled over log,
lacerating his left knee. Despite the
fall he grabbed his man and held
on to him.
Both Fined

Harvey Lofiand and Jack Burton,
both of a negro section near Mil

They were arraigned before AL

was charged with taking car with

without a license, and reckless
driving. He was fined $3.50 and in

been rather favorable for codling
moth fight and egg laying. The
pupation of over-wihtered eodling
moth larvae is BOW about complet-
ed, but the emergency of the first
brood moths has continued without
interruption since the first moth
emerged on April 20.
The unusually dry weather has
been so unfavOrable for develop
ment of apple scab that this dis
ease should be completely under
control at this time. Due to this
dry weather most of the scab aseos-
pores have not been discharged,
and for this reason, therefore, con-
siderable scab may develop if a
period of prolonged wet weather
should prevail. In these spray notes
fruit growers were given the op-
tons of using three different spray
combinations for codling moth con-
troll and apple scab prevention.
Growers have been cautioned
concerning sulfur for general use
on apple trees when temperatures
are above IS degrees Fahrenheit,
and lime always should be used
with lead arsenate in this state, as
well as with all forms of copper to
prevent injury. Sulfur and oil are
incompatible, consequently, from
two to three weeks should elapse
before either material is applied
after using the other.
The second-cover spray for
peaches should be applied twenty
days from petal-fall, and should
consist of 8 pounds of sulfur paste,
or pounds of dry wettable sulfur,
to 100 gallons of water.
