Views of the Press

kitchen the last blossoming of the delphiniums are small, slender spikes of blue; exclamation points to punctuate the gardens last sen- tence. Wide-leaved chicory holds aloft it's stems with their pale, al- most transparent deep-bell flow CTS. Along the roadsides by the weathered stone walls, in the fence corners and around the stone piles in upper fields patches of asters make patterns of soft blue against the brewing weeds and grasses.
 Quiet mill ponds and sandy-bot- toned northern lakes are smooth blue mirrors on windless days. Flocks of bluebirds gather in the old orchard behind the barn, or ganizing for the hegira southward. Blue jays flash across the field screaming that autumn is near. But for few glorious days September is here with a touch of blue.

There is no more disgrace about being mentally sick than being phy- sically sick. It is unfortunate that we have archaic methods of com- mitment, which make commitment a legal process and which put the poor patient in the status of an in dividual accused of a crime.

 Their old delight I like to ape In meters all complete
 With praise of the delicious

 That burbles, strong and sweet. Falernian inspires my pen
 To hail the wine in rhymes

 Enjoyed in classic times.
 Their pleasure in it was so plain, So avid and so real
 That I'd create it once again
 With true Iteration zeal.
 O, happy wine! O, ruby cup
 For fellows hail and bluff!

A number of livestock men have
reported that have treated their
cows with DOT to control the horn
fly. This is a very important job
that should be attended to NOW. The
cost is too small and the job can be
done too easily to pass it up. One
hundred cows can be thoroughly
sprayed with 80 cents worth of DOT.
A spray gun can be purchased for a
few dollars and you need one any,
way. If you can't find one, use a
water sprinkler or a Fit gun. This
insecticide does not kill flies at once,
but in an hour from the time applied,
you will find very few flies on your
cows and one treatment will last
approximately three weeks, depend
ing on the amount of rain you have.

County Agents Notes
BY I. w. cmson. County Agent

All pecan trees examined are COW
cred with gnat gals, and l think
everybody who has pecan trees have
discovered this. 1t is an insect that
attacks pecan trees more or less
every year, but it seems that their
attack has been much greater this
year than usual. Many people of the
county are disturbed about this
pest, they are afraid these gals win
kill their trees. The insect is not
that severe, but they do weaken the
trees to some extent and will doubt
less keep them from producing q
good crop Of nuts.
There is nothing to do for this
trouble after the gals have been
formed. Spraying the trees while in
dormant stage is recommended al
control measure.
