In these times of initiation when

government power project should
even be proposed, let alone given

long experience and efficient man
agement to do the job, has offered
to do it with private fuIds-at no
expense to the taxpayers.
But let us listen again to Mr.
Weakley, the union business man

continued his testimony before the

Sounds like a reasonable fair prop

Ronald T. Weakley, business

Plan For Program
To Train Drivers

Plans for an inserVice training
program for all Garrett County
bus drivers were outlined at a
meeting held at the Accident Ele-
mentary School this past week.
Robert Martin, transportation
supervisor, presided at the meet
ing which was attended by the
Executive Board of the Bus Drivers
association and several principals.
Charles Bender, president Of the
Garrett County Bus Drivers AS
sociation, emphasized that this was
not a crash program" and was
not induced as a result of the
tragic train-bus collision early in
September. Plans for the training
program we're first discussed last
summer following the publication
of training guide for bus drivers
formulated by a group of school
superintendent and transportation
officials from all parts of Mary
land.
Mr.. Martin indicated that five
or six geographical centers to ac-
commodate the ninety-four bus
drivers would be set up in the
county for the training sessions.
Each driver will be required to
attend three sessions. The pro-
grams which will include such mat
tiers as driver qualifications, re-
sponsibilities, school regulations,
bus maintenance, discipline and
several other topics will be lead
by Mr.. Bender and Mr.. Martin.
Guest speakers, films, and panel
discussions will be utilized to
make the meetings interesting as
well as informative. First sessions
will be held sometime during
October.

Carroll Discusses Weed
Control In Pastures

Farmers should consider the graS-
ses and legumes in their pasture
as a cash crop just as cotton Is
considered a cash crop. The only
difference is that cattle gather
he grass and produce meat while
the farmer gathers the cotton, bales
it, and they both are sold ON the
open market. Every effort is made
oy farmers to remove the weeds
md grass from the cotton so that
t will make the maximum pro-
duction.
Very few farmers will exert the
same effort to remove the noxiOuS
weeds from their pastures so that
the pasture plants will make the
maximum production.
Bermuda grass is considered to
De the basic pasture grass, as well
as the basic erosion control plant.
This plant viii not grow well under
a heavy growth OF weeds. Due to
the need of the bermuda grass for
grazing and controlling erosion, all
efforts should be made to remove
the weeds from competition with
the bermuda so that it viii make

Thanks Voters

To the voters of Holmes Coun-

the experience that Is needed tc
make one better fitted for the job.
I still say that I will not be par
tial to anyone but will serve every.
one in my district to the best Of
my ability.
Very gratefully yours,

A large part of our cotton, par
ticularly the earlier planted cot
ton, is squaring and should defin-
itely be poisoned as soon as pos
sible. Lots of farmers I have talk
ed with say they intend to poison
as soon as they get a break in the
weather so rains will not wash the
poison off. 1t is a mistake to wait
until fair weather to begin poison
ing. With the insecticides we now
have to use such as methyl para
thion, etc., if you get the poison
on the cotton as much as 30 min
utes to 2 hours before a rain, you
will kill just about as many boil
weevils as you would if you had a
week of sunshiny weather.
Methyl Parathion and malathion
will kill practically all weevils it
is going to kill within the first one
or two hours after applying. Do
not allow the boil weevils to get
a start on you.
At this time of year it takes ap-
fortunately 18 days from the time
the boil weevil pu~nctures a square
until a new weevil matches out
to cause you more trouble. Check
your squares at this time to see
if any are punctured. If the square
has already flared open, it has pos
sibly been punctured from 5 to Z
days. So counting this S to 7 days,
figuring from now from II to Ia
days, you will have another hatch
out of weevils. So if you start poiS-
oning at this time you will have
to continue to poison through the
hatch-out of squares that are pune
tured now, which would be about 4
to 5 applications at 5-day intervals.
We are going to nave to step up
the amount of poison we are using,
provided you n using the applica-
ton that we first recommended on
cotton up to IL inches in height.
The recommended dose at this
time on squaring cotton would be a
mixture of one gallon malathion
in enough water to cover 71a acres,
or l gallon methyl parathion in
enough water to cover II acres.
If you have tractor equipment
to do your poisoning with, I would
suggest you S methyl parathion
as the cost of this preparation is
about % cents per acre, whereas
malathion would run you approx
mately 80 cents per acre at the
recommended rate.

Due to the excessive rains during
April and May most pastures have
an excessive growth of weeds.
These weeds are very harmful to
the pasture plants. Many of the
farmers throughout the county
have been clipping their pastures
with moving machines and pasture
clippers. Some of these weeds have
started blooming which means that
they will soon be making seed.
They should be cut before any of
the seed r mature. This will
help. eliminate these weeds from
the pasture. I want to especially
urge all farmers who are coop
orators of the Holmes County Soil
Conservation District to clip their
pastures.
Win the growth of weeds such
as we have on pastures this year,
it will damage pastures in two
ways: by using the fertilizer that
is needed for the grass and by
shading the grass or legume which
will keep them from making pro
per growth.

Last week you read in this col
umn about washing and drying
your blankets. AS a follow up, /
am including this week some notes
on reconditioning blankets. Maybe
you tried some other method of
washing your blankets and they
came out badly shrunken. You can
recondition them to come out 4 to
6 inches longer by following this
washing method:
ReconditiOning Blankets
Wash blanket, using the new
relaxation or soak method de-
Scribed in last weeks column.
After the final rinse, stretch the
blanket vigorously.
If you have space, put papers
on the floor Or across a large table
and thumb tack the blanket in
place.
Brush hard with a steel pristled
brush. AS the blanket stretches dur
ing the brushing, remove the tacks,
turn blanket over, stretch and
tack down again. Brush until nap
is raised and the telling is re-
lieved. If possible, let the blanket
dry in this position.
If you can't let it stay on the
floor or table to dry, hang it a.
cross a line or better, parallel
lines. When dry, brush until it is
soft and nap is raised.
If you don't have space to stretch
that blanket and thumb tack it to
the floor or table, after the final
rinse, get someone to help you
stretch the blanket vigorously. AS
it dries on the lines, stretch it
vigorously from time to time.

Fertilizing Pastures

With the showers we have been
having for the past Is days it has
continued to keep our pastures
growing and furnishing lots of
grass. But with the hot dry weather
the last of this month and July
our grasses will not grow so rap
idly. Unless you have lots more
pasture in grass than your cows
need it would be advisable to ap-
ply about $50 pounls of ammonia
nitrate which is about so units of
available nitrogen per acre, or the
equivalent of so units of nitrogen
in any other form. BY doing this
while the ground is still moist you
could expect 2 to 3 times more
grazing per acre in the latter part
of the summer than you can ex-
pect if no nitrate is applied.

Keep a close check on corn
coming up for bud worms in the
bud of the corn. Late corn is
nearly always damaged by bud
worms. These worms can be con-
trolled by spraying or busting with
DOT or toxaphene. If busting APP
ply 10 to Is pounds of 10 per cent
DOT dust directly down into the
buds of the corn. If spraying use
one pound of technical DOT per
acre which means that one gallon
of concentrated DOT should be
mixed in enough water to cover 2
acres. If busting with toxaphene
use Is pounds per acre busted di-
rectly into buds of corn. If spray
ing with toxaphene mix one gal
Ion of emulsifiable concentrate
with enough water to cover 2H
acres.

Boil Worms

We are finding quite a few boil
worms and boil worm eggs in cot
ton fields at this time. 1t would
be advisable to add DOT or en-
drin in with your boil weevil pois-
on. One gallon of endrin for bob
worms should cover approximately
8 acres of cotton. One gallon of
DOT will cover 2 acres. Keep a
close watch for boil worms dam
aging the buds of young squares.
They are easy to kill when small.

One of the greatest threats to the American
economy, as we see it, is the constant growth of
high labor costs. The greed of the labor leaders
is fast growing into a menace to the working
man. He will soon be priced out Of the market by
foreign goods. This is already being felt by the
mobi industry as foreign cars are being
imported in greater quantities. The public is being
gouged and prices continue higher for American
goods. That is due to labor costs that are pushing
industries toward bankruptcy. How much more
they can stand remains to be seen. High wages,
fringe benefits by the hundreds, will be of little
use when there are no jobs. Greed and politics
have been craving at the vitals of America for
many years. Where it will end is a matter that is
working a hardship on the nations people. Unless
the voters concern themselves with higher labor
demands and initiation and the Indifference of
the politicians, we are headed for danger and
fast. Remember you never thought you would see
a Ascent dollar.

lots of lespedeza do not apply any

to make grass grow and choke out
