IN TIE AIR FORCE"

Bandera, ritzy ranch resort sec

along with the nice change many
of the little ones have colds.

about the private plane owners get
together at Rehoboth this month.
He said he wished he could fiy
down for the affair Ito lovely Re-
hoboth" and my, so do we. Last
night at z o'clock Central Standard
Time on "Pick the Winner" we saw
U. S. Senator Allen Frear, whom
we feel we know because he is a
personal friend of Hayes Uncle Ed
Murphy of Ridley Park, Pa, and
another uncle, Uncle Herb Murphy
of Washington, D. c. You'd be sur
prised how often Delawarean news
slips into our paper down here and
Hayes and 1 just love it.
Friday, on the spur of the mo-
ment, we made plans to go to San
Antonio the next day. BY 1900 a. m.
August 30, we were headed west
for the big city. The first thing
noted on paper about our trip was
the dryness of the country. OH!
my, the earth was dry. You could
see where the farmers had dug
trenches so their cattle would have
water, but there was no water any
place. All the streams were dry
and bridges covered beds of clay.
It's a mystery what those COWS eat,
any way. Most pastures were COW
cred with sage brush and mesquite
and we were puzzled by this be-
cause we have always imagined
such beautiful pastures for these
Texas steers. Dick Draper and Sam
Mitchell remarked about this when
| they were here, too.
Houston has many open air drive
ms where these western people
stop after dinner for a slice OF
watermelon. It's a specially here
in Texas and Saturday we saw
acres and acres of all sizes OF
melons.
We were always in such a rush
TO get home from Florida that ]
never did get to see cotton grow
ing, but Saturday when we saw
trucks of loose cotton going to mar
ket we knew then we would see
fields of "stuff that makes Lynnie's
and Dawnie's dresses" The plants
were still green when they picked
the cotton, which / didn't suppose
it would be.
We arrived in San "ANN-TONE'
around noon and hunted for a mo-
te,, but to no avail, since they were
all filled with Labor Day travellers
OF course we went right away then
to see the old, old Alamo. Every

POWER STEERING FOR GOVERNMENT
No one can ever accuse President
Truman of losing interest in his
job. Perhaps he's trying to make
as much history as possible, so the
subject will be a little more
sprightly when he gets to teaching
it next year.
His latest accessory for improv-

no news, of course, in setting up a

ROOT MAGGOT
 CONTROL
By Dr. Richard Washburn Expt. Station Entomologist

Root maggot adults have been laying eggs for several weeks in some areas of the Valley.
 Treatment should be applied when eggs are first observed and continued at 10-day intervals as long as eggs are being laid.
 Radishes should be treated only once due to rapid maturity. Other crucifers, such as cabbage, tur- nipS, cauliflower, turnips, etc., may be treated at 10-day inter vals until Is to 20 days before harvest in order to avoid danger of residues.
 Effective materials, all to be applied at 10-day intervals, are: corrosive sublimate (known chemically as mercuric choloride), Chlordan and Aldrin. Corrosive sublimate has two undesirable characteristics. It is highly cor rosive to metal and difficult to suspend in water. Chlordan and Aldrin are easier to handle.
 Use the insecticides as follows:
 Corrosive sublimate: l ounce to 712-10 gallons water-1 cup to base of each plant.
 Aldrin: F to l pound active in- gredient per acre.
 Chlordan: l pound active in- gredient per acre, i.e., pint of 72 percent per 100 gallons per acre equals l pound per acre.
 Smaller areas in proportion. For example, a patch 50 feet by 50 feet contains about 1I16 acre and would require about 50 co or about 2 ounces to the area.

 Notes
MarYlou Rideout

All of us, some time or other, have reSsurected an old tried and true" recipe, but our results of the reproduction of the record ed recipe was great disappoint- ment to us. Part of the disap- pointment is due to our idealized past gastronomic delight. How good everything tasted when we were children-like grandmoth- CTS birthday cake. Grandmother did turn out a handsome, light as-a-feather cake-but her tech niques were suited to her equip ment and to the ingredients she used-most of them quite differ ent than Granddaughter's.
 Some of the disappointment IS due to changing and changed food standards. Standards for foods change as do standards for retrig- orators, cars and houses. Styles in food change, too, and style and standards are closely related. Grandmother's bread was open grained, thicker-crusted n d firmer crumb loaf. But today our fast acting yeasts, controlled short fermentation time and tempera- ture controlled ovens, produce breads with a flavor and other qualities we associate with good bread today. These are quite dlt- ferent from the flavor and char acteristics produced by the over night or all-day fermentation made necessary by slow-actlng dry yeast or starters and com parative coolness of houses, and no oven controls.
 Grandmother's cake required lard or butter, now with highly emulsified shortening, we can omit the "creaming" process which once was required-and the result is a quick mix cake or

 MENTAL HEALTH BILL
 When Delegate Bartlett's bill seeking a revision in the proce- dure of treatment and administra- ton of Alaska's mentally ill came up in the House on the last call of the calendar prior to adjourn ment it was objected to by Con- greSsman Homer Angell of Port land, Oregon, and was not acted upon.
 The measure as first introduced had called for construction and operation of a hospital for the mentally i'll in Alaska, but this provision was striken by the House Interior and Insular Af- fairs Committee in order to pin- point at this time the need for modernization of involuntary and voluntary commitment proceed ures. Alaska's mentally i'll are now hospitalized at Morningside Sanitarium in Oregon.
 The introduction of the bill and the favorable committee report were based on studies made in 1949 in Alaska by a group of specialists under the chairman ship of Dr. Winfred Overholser, renowned Superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washing ton, D. C.
 Hearing
 The Fish and Wildlife Service has announced that it will hold hearings in II places in Alaska this year and three-day hearing in Seattle on commercial fishery regulations for 1853. A hearing will be held in Anchorage on September 29.
 Alaska Legislation
 The five national banks in Alaska from now on will not have to keep as much money in their vaults as previously required through Delegate Bartlett's bill signed last week by the Presi- dent. From now on they will be required to carry one-fifth their required reserves of Is percent rather than two-fifthS.
