EDITORIAL
THE GOVERNORS BLUEPRINT
OVERNOR RALPH M. Paiewonsky1s inaugural adj
dress can be the turning point in the social, political and
economic life Of these Islands. Certainly, it is going to be dis
cussed for some time to come. It could be considered a de-
c~laration Of policy because Of the very wide range it covers,
and the drectness with which it approaches the basic prob
lens which beset these Islands.
THIS PROGRAM WHICH the Governor emissions is al
most staggering to the imagination. Not that it is not well
mentioned. Not that these Islands do not need such a pro-
gram. Nothing Of the sort In fact, that is what we have been.
needing through the years. What this inaugural does is sets
down the major areas which are screaming for action, and if
anybody should know it, Ralph Paiewonsky should.
THE GOVERNOR CALLS for a representative in Con
gress, for an elected Governor, for wide social reforms, tor d-
versiGcation in agriculture, yearTound tourist trade, q Virgin
Islands university, and much, much more. All Of these are in
great need Everyone knows that. The trouble is not with the
knowing, but with the doing. The trouble is not with claim
ing what is to be done, but knowing how, and when, and
where to do il.
"A GOVERNOR IN this day and time is not a know-it all
He is not supposed to know everything about the countless
fields which directly concern our people. What ne IS supposed
to know is that there is need for action, and then proceed
to bring about such action. He has his cabinet his advisers,
committees Of every sort, and friends, acquaintance, and ma
lives at home and abroad who would be only too glad to be
heard. The Governor is the one who ties together the loose
ends, starts things rolling, and sees to it that q program is car
cied out in a coherent and effective manner.
WHAT Is NEEDED is a blueprint for these Islands. It
is not necessary that everything be started at once, nor IN the
same manner, nor by the same people. But what there must
be is blueprint. Such a blueprint would tell the admlnlstra-
ton and the people at a glance where we intend to 60. how,
and Why. II will provide a guide for what is to be done, and
prevent US from going in all directions at the same time

ever poison you use is the
most important thing in con-
trolling cotton insects as they
should be controlled. Be sure
and put the recommended
dose on the cotton plant-not
out in the middle. The past
few days l have observed
spray machines that are sup
pose to be over the top of cot
ton spraying in the middle of
rows.
On windy days reduce your
pressure down to 30-35 pounds
pressure in order that the
spray material will get to the
plant. On still days, without
wind blowing very much, run
your pressure up to 40 pounds.
1t is not advisable to use over
40 pounds pressure unless you
are using extra large tips
such as No. 6 tips and etc.
Check your tractor speed so
that you will know you are
getting the amount of material
on the plant that you should
have. | have noticed a few
high boys running the last
few days with No.3 tips 1912
miles per hour. Unless you
have large enough tips for
this speed you are not getting
the amount of material need
ed on your cotton.
When you add up all the
little mistakes in spraying
YOUR cotton it is enough to
| cause failure on your insect
program.
Bangs Vaccination
If you are planning on saw
ing any of your heifVer calves
for requirements let me urge
that you have your heifer calv-
es vaccinated for bangs while
they are between 4 and 8
months of age. Contact your
veterinarian and he will do
this job for you at no cost
to you whatsoever. This is
paid for by the county, state

Lay by IACoIA
Late weeds can cause lots OF
trouble in corn. Broad Leaf
weeds of all descriptions can
be controlled in corn fields by
the use Of two thirdt to l pint
of PAD in Is gallons of water,
enough to cover one acre.
If corn is over 10 to II inch
es tall use drop nozzles and
just spray top of weeds beng
careful not to get PAD spray
into the buds of tile corn. IL
corn is less than 10 inches
tall you may spray entire field
broadcast using Ii plnts OF
PAD in 20 to IS gallons OF
water to give a broadcast
spray over one acre. When
corn is less than 10 inches IN
height it does not hurt to
spray over tops of the corn.
This is a very economical way
of Kidding your fields of cock
leburs an obnoxious weeds.
Be careful not to get TOO
close to cotton fields with your
PAD equipment. On windy
DAYS spray with a low pres
slnre so the drift will not go
very far. In spraying near
cotton fields be sure the WIND
is blowing away from the
cotton fields before using a.
D. However, on normal days
with low pressure corn fields
can be sprayed within 8 to III
feet of cotton.
Cotton Insect Control
With threatening weather
conditions. as we have at pre-
sent time. it would be advls-
able to S a quick killing
poison such as methyl parath-
ion. Mix l gallon OF metnyl
parathion in enough water TO
cover IS Is acres OF COTTON
that is squaring. On younger
cotton before squaring begins
mix l gallon of methyl parath-
ion in enough water to cover
"a acres. After the treat OF
weather has gone it would be
advisable to go back to one
of your long lasting insectlclu-
es such as guthion or sewn.
BollWOrmS
If bollworms are a problem
YOU may add DOT or endrlil
to your methyl parathion or
guthion. Mix according to the
chart in my letter of June l.
Unless your cotton is squar-
ing it would not be advisable
to spray for bollworms.

tention to the use OF sewn
