Crops in this county are two to

We're at this time last year, he
told, but are two to three weeks
ahead of crops in other area of
the Delta which he has seen. Due
to the wet weather of the past
ten days, particularly the cotton
crop has become grassy, but was
fast being cleaned up before
tuesdays rain. A few days OF
good weather would point the
way to recovery, it was thought.
A good portion of the cotton
crop of the Delta area has blooms.
Agent Sullivan informed. A few
blooms have been noted in the
hill area. At a meeting Monday
OF county agents and federal ana
Delta entomologists at Stone
vile, Mr.. Sullivan said alarm was
expressed relative to the heavy
boil weevil infestation, but that
the situation was thought control
liable by one of the new insecti-
cides on the market.
Poisoning Recommended
He said state and federal ento.
biologists recommend poisoning at
the proper time, which in the
Delta where the boil weevil is
later in going into the crop - is
after the cotton is at least Is in
ches tall and shows Is per cent
infestation. Three applications
at four to five day intervals
should be made, once the poison.
ing starts. A check should be-
kept on the cotton so that further
busting will not be done until
another 20 to rs per cent infes~
tation is noted, the county agent
advised.
In the hill area entomologists
believe it justifiable to poison "a
little earlier due to the enormous
amount of weevils in the hilr
areas" Mr., Sullivan informed.
adding that on most CROPS -.A@
be has checked in that area. an
lnfestation of $4,000 per cent has
been found. On a recent poison
ang demonstration east OF Lex
ington, he told that infestation
was reduced from 65 to 20 per
cent in four days after the appli-
cation was made.

Mr.. Sullivan urges farmers
planning to enter the 100-Bushel
club to report to his office by

offered for corn production. He
also recommends keeping pasture
weeds clipped to enable grass con-
tinuing to grow during the sum-
mer.
Clipping weeds in pastures is
one of the best practices a farm
er can carry out" he said.

 NOW FIGHTING
 OPIUM TRAFFIC

SAIGON, Indo- a.-lR- Opium smoking will become more difficult for Indo-Chinese in 1949 A recent government decree bans sale of use of the narcotic except by confirmed add.cts who must furnish exhaustive details to the police before being authorized their daily ration of one gram.
 Since 1946 opium has been dis tributed only through specialized hospitals where physicians issued special certificates to those addicts whose condition made it imperative that they continue to receive a con- trolled and limited quantity of the drug. Critics argued that these hos p.tals were abused and that some of them became like camouflaged opium dens because physicians were too freely releasing the amounts of the narcotic under their control
 In future those addicts who, if deprived of their daily dose of op- ium, might die or become seriously i'll, must undergo an intensive eX- animation from the police before receiving a smoking license" They must give their identity, age, ad- dress, profession, details about their jamily, the amount of their income, and the quantity of opium they think they require. Photographs and officially stamped documents must accompany this information. If the authorities decide he really requires it, the addict may then receive his daily gram-but the whole neigh borhood is likely to know about his vice.
 But with the official banning ot the drug, an increase in smuggling is feared.

FATHER TAXES UP DEAD SONS WORK
 WITH CHILDREN

INDIANAPOLIS.-tR-At the age Iof 73, Louis H. Reynolds thought his lifes working days were behind
 him, until he remembered the work his son left when he died. Think ing cack over the things Police Capt.
 Golden A. Reynolds had told him
 about the juvenile aid division, the retired railroad man offered his services free to the juvenile courts probation department. Today he's a volunteer worker in the Marion County Juvenile Center. T was always so busy rearing family that I didn't have time to consider the problems of unfortu-
 nate children" Reynolds said. The son had built a reputation as
 friend of neglected children while
 he served as head of the juvenile aid division. Six weeks after Capt. Reynolds death, his mother died.
 Louis Reynolds, lets alone, re- membered what his son had said: There are so many kids who have never had anyone who really
 and honestly cared about them." Father Reynolds found he got along fine with the boys at the juvenile center. He's been a school teacher before he went into rail- jroad work.
 Maybe I can get them straight ened out again. he said. He was given a hearty welcome in his new job Juvenile Court Judge
 Joseph O. Hoffman and Charles
 Boswell, chief probation officer for Marion County, issued joint state ment:
 We feel that the more associa- ton the delinquent children have
 with mature persons, the better
 their chances of getting straighten-
 ed out" Reynolds is happy just to
 carry on for Golden"

DEAF AND DUMB,
 PUBLISHES PAPER

DUPREE, s. D. A newspaper publisher who can neither hear nor speak? Yes, there's one.
 He's E. L. Schetnan of Du- pree's West River Progress, bald ing homesteader in his early eos. He did well in his uphill fight.
 He came to this country as a penniless Norwegian immigrant boy.
 He was striken almost immed- lately after arriving with spinal meningitis which deafened him per- manently within IS minutes.
 Thus handicapped and alone in strange land, he managed to learn English while washing dishes for a livelihood.
 He entered a school for the deaf in the lowest class, and was graduated two years later at the head of his calss.
 For two years he studied journal ism at St. Olaf's College, North field, Minn., took one of the first homesteads in this area and 27 years ago acquired his own news paper.
 Loss of hearing and consequent impairment in speaking is not so great an obstacle to newsgather- ing as many persons might sur mise, Schetnan scribbled to an in- terviewer.
 T always carry pen and re- porter's pad, am not abashed over asking people for news. Since ev- eryone knows me and I know ev- eryone within 50 miles, newsgath- ering is a lark"
 No one ever has accused him of misquoting. He has all remarks down in his sources own hand writing.

 The advertiser walked into the Review office and took out an ad, offering his house. rent-free to any one who would take care of it. But he failed to leave his name, address or phone number.
 The Review office was deluged with applicants.
 "As the days wore on, the clamor increased. We were getting pretty desperate" says H. M. Kemp, pulp fisher. So the Review ran three column, front page story, head lined:

Krug Offers Plan To Settle Native Land Dispute

0P) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, R)-Secretary of the Interior Krug Saturday of fered AlaSka's natives two reSer- vations in an attempt to settle land ownership disputes and open the Territory to development.
 Differences over the extent of native rights to Alaska land long have been a major obstacle to settlement of the Territory.
 Krug, in one of his last actions in office offered to set aside these two reservations:
 100000 acres on Prince of Wales and Sukkwan Islands in South eastern Alaska to the native in- habitants of Hydaburg, an Indian village on Prince of Wales Island.
 750 square miles of the Arctic Slope, for use by the Eskimos of Barrow, northernmost point of Alaska.
 The offers are contingent upon the natives resigning all claims to other Alaska lands because of oc- cupancy or use for generations past.

CANADA CAN'T BUY UNLESS WE BUY

The unfortifed border between the United States and Canada has been held up to the world as demonstra- ton of what friendly peoples do in the way of keeping peace In fact relations between the two coun- tries have been friendly to be almost informal which between foreign nations.
 This does not mean that there are no questions be- tween the two countries As matter of fact Lester B. Pearson Canadian Secretary of State for External Af fairs speaking in the United States recently pointed out that his country cannot indefinitely buy two billion dollars worth of goods annually from the United States when it sells only one billion dollars worth He gives friendly warning that Canada may have to put on re- strctions and expresses the wish that the people of the United States would became more aware of Can adad before the restrictions are needed"
 The observation of the Canadian officials is timely It is apparent thinking citizens of the United States that large export trade balance makes difficult the swap of goods between this country and other nations It should be obvious, from the figures given by MT PearSon that Canada will be compelled to place restrc tons upon trade with this country unless we will ing to buy larger volume of goods from the Canadians

prove the creation of the reserva- tions in an election for the plan to become effective.
 The reservations admittedly represent only a small part of the land claimed by the natives.
 In the case of the 36O inhabi- ants of Hydaburg, Krug said:
 "I realize that, to accept the of fer made today these Indians will have to trim to one-ninth the land they sought for their use, but believe they will wisely choose to do so.
 Every passing year will make it more difficult for them and for the government adequately to protect their way of life other wise"
 The offer of the Arctic slope to the Barrow Eskimos withholds from them any petroleum that might be found in the area.
 It includes for use by the na- tives coal deposit which the Es- kimos are now working and upon which they depend for fuel.
 Krug said the actions were taken on petitions by the Barrow Eskimos and the Hydaburg Indi- ans, after studies and hearings completed months ago.
 He said the Barrow reservation would not affect or supersede ex- isting rights or claims in the area,

Will Fly Cattle To Anchorage

SEATTLE, CPO Land hungry veterans of World War II are sparkling another Matanuska Val ley land rush.
 The fertile valley west of An chorage, Alaska, which achieved prominence when it was settled by middle-West farmers A years ago, is unable to meet the demand from Anchorage and Fort Rich ardson for milk, two officials of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperative reported here.
 The pair, Virgil Eckert and Merle Anderson, flew to Seattle to purchase 60 head of dairy cat tie for association members. An derson also intends to purchase 10 head for his own herd. The ami mals will be flown to Anchorage for trucking to Palmer.
 It will cost between $150 and $l75 to fly each cow north, with each plane carrying about 12 cat, tie.

GOVERNMENT BUYS SURPLUS FRUIT

The major development in the Twelfth Federal Re- serve District agriculture in report Just released by Monthly Review of Federal Reserve Bank" has been the large surpluses of many fruit crops Cafornas de- ciduous fruit growers having of their worst in years Bumper crOpS the virtual loss of foreign markets and large carryoverS from last years pack will probably result in substantial losses for many growers. Since fruit crops are not favored With price levels
 So bountiful this years peach crop that growers and canners upped the size requirement for No. l peaches leaving of the crop be wasted Even grower prices for canning cngs dropped from the $65 per ton received last year $40 Pear growers had to face not only large crop but also the tieup of pneap pie shipments from Hawaii Pineapple is a component of fruit cocktail in which most Of the canning pears utilized Growers getting around $40 per ton com pared with $125 received last year.
 Other fruit growers have been farng almost badly. Gravensein apple crop producers found they had mil lion boxes than could be absorbed through the usual outlets The grape and raisin industry has been plagued with it's perennial surplus problem Even fruit growers in Washington and Oregon have been troubled with unmarketable surpluses.
 The Department of Agriculture at the growers re- quest attempted to relieve the situation somewhat by purchasing of the surpluses chiefly for in the school lunch program and in eligible institutions. to- tai of 135 of GravenStein apples and 783 cars of Bartlett pears were bought in California and smaller quantity of pears purchased Tn Oregon. Canned peach purchases amounted to 937,210 cases, largely from California with small quantities taken in Oregon and Washington Small quantities of dried fruits will be purchased this year. and export subsidies and diversion payments will also be used to dried fruit SurpuSeS Tn spite of these various relief measures however, many fruit growers will face heavy losses in markets depressed by oversupplies.
