in the bud of the cotton. They
feed few days in the bud and
then 60 to the young squares,
boring hole in the square and
eating the contents therein, leav-
ing a flabby sack-like square.
Examine your cotton every few
days for the presence Of worms.
In examining 100 stalks of cotton
if you find eight or ten worms you
should poison for worms immedi-
ately. Recommended insecticides
for worms would be 10 pounds
of 20 per cent toxaphene or 10
pounds $50 per acre, where
worms are young. If spraying it
is recommended that you add one
gallon of IS per cent DOT emul-
sion to each IL gallons of water
and use two nozzles per row, ap-
plying about two gallons per
acre. This one gallon of Is per
cent DOT emulsion may be added
to your regular boil weevil poison
such as aldrin, toxaphene or what
ever liquid you are using for boil
weevils. Remember that when
you begin to use any DOT in boil
weevil control you stand chance
of making your cotton lousy. That
is, the DOT kills your beneficial
insects and allows a buildup of
lice. If your cotton becomes in
tested with lice you should dust
or spray Immediately with $50.
From now until August LIST is the
critical time with our cotton pro-
duction. Don's be late start
controlling insects on time.
In busting cotton every appli-
cation should be made late in the
afternoon or night with little or
no wind blowing. Early morning
busting and busting during the
day is waste Of time and mater
ial.

Now that we have had a little
relief from the drought we should
make every moment count in
completing our planting of corn,
peas, temporary grazing crops and
hay crops. From all indications
there is going to be a shortage of
corn this fall. We still have
plenty of time to prepare, fertilize
and plant corn and make a good
yield provided we do it i'm
mediately. Put plenty of intro
gen under your corn before plant
ing and plant variety adapted
for this time of year. Laguna or
Mexican June is probably your
best bet on late planted corn. Now
is good time to plant peas and
soybeans for hay. Keep in mind
our severe last winter, we could
have another just like it. Make
every effort possible to plant
something for hay. Look about
you for old johnson grass bot
toms that could be cut for hay
at this time. / am sure that les
pedeza fields will need cutting
later on. Sweet sudan or millet
planted at this time will make
excellent temporary grazing later
on in the summer and if not need
ed for grazing will make excellent
hay. 1t will be necessary to fer
tilize your sweet sudan or millet
with one or two sacks of ammonia
! nitrate per acre in order to get
maximum growth. Sweet sudan
! or millet will be ready for graz
ing within six weeks after plant
! ing.

Old County Fairs to
Vanish, Magazine
Article Predicts

County fairs-the kind we have
here in Montgomery County-are
on their way out-and another of
Americas great traditions is going
Commercial in big way", or so
says the September 26 issue of the
magazine PEOPLE TODAY.
The magazine says where county
fairs used to specialize in livestock
shows and succulent homemade
cookery, the spotlight today has
shifted to "girlie" shows. What's
more, according to the magazine,
smart promoters in the more than
$500 annual farmfolk fairs have
come to realize that a we'll rounded
dancing specialist has more mass
and money appeal than a we'll
rounded melon, a well-filled jar of
mothers best preserves, or a we'll
fed cow.
Sex, the magazine continues, has
come to the midway and pushed the
traditional social get-togethers in
the background. What's more it
has dimmed the, luster of such old
fair standbys as thrill rides and
gambling games.
At the same time, the fairs in
the United States are enjoying
their greatest attendance boom, ac-
cording to People Today, and tele-
vision is being used as an addi-
tional audience stimulus. For ex-
ample, Station WTMJ, Milwaukee,

The magazine also predicts that

may be comprised of members of
the animal kingdom exclusively as
