America was built by leaders who had
the moral integrity to represent the peo-
pie without being interested in personal
gain. Somewhere down the line, how
ever, we have apparently developed a
breed of politicians, in many instances,
who view the political world as an area
of endeavor where they might realize
certain selfish motives. 1t doesn't take an
intensive search to find abundant mani
festations of this political tragedy. All
we have to do is to look at the state of
our national government where a vast
number of appointments are made on a
hnCic Of rather than on more
tnnoihle qualifications Such holds +r,,a

Newly elected city officials In NUM-

ready assumed their duties or will do SO
within the next few days. Many of the
new office holders have had previous
experience in managing the affairs of
their towns, but there are some new
corners on the boards also.
We think that all of these individuals
are to be commended and encouraged
during the next four years because,
without an exception, there is not a
town in the county which pays their of
ficialS enough to make the positions
worthwhile from a dollars and cents
point of view. AS one city official in

During the past ten days
have not seen any new
bollworm eggs in cotton
fields over the country We
are expecting a new flight OF
months that lay bollWorm egg
late this week or early next
week. Be on the lookout for
bollworms and add an insect
icide that will control boil
worms as they hatch out
After bollworms get large
enough to get into bigger
squares it is almost impos-
sible to kill them with any in
secticide.
We are continuously check
ing cotton in all sections OF
the county each week and II
you are in doubt as to wheth-
er or not bollworms are a
problem if you will call our
office we will tell you what
we are finding over the coun-
~ and will be glad to advise
With YOU on recommendations
for their control
+ ct me urge that if YOU
have not alreadv done so, car
nv out a complete vaccination
program of your livestock.
Vaccinate for the following
diseases:
ANTHRAX-If you are in an
area where anthrax is known
to have been in the past 10 TO
Is years vaccinate every
spring (March-April). If you
haven't vaccinated your live
stock this year for anthrax it
isn't too late for you to 90 SO
now This is particularly true
of the Delta.

IN we are having a hatch out
e the first generation Of boil
eevils. In the early May
planted cotton your first
generation Of boil weevils
7',ould begin Matching out
this week end or early part
# next week. 1t is very i'm
rtant that we make every
effort possible to control this
hatchout. If we allow these
boil weevils to puncture new
squares we will be bothered
with boil Weevils the rest OF
The year.
Even though we are still
threatened with rain it would
he advisable to put at least
2 applications a week OF
methyl parathion on your
cotton fields between showers.
When using methyl p%arathion
if you can get the insectlclde
on the cotton 2 to 3 hours be-
fore a rain ocurS you will XIII
out practically all insects in
your fields at that time. Don't
delay your poisoning program
even if you have to hire an
lirplane to do the job.
The most important part OF
our poisoning program IS
from now until August 1st.
After that time it will be our
job to protect what we have
made - particularly on our
older planted cotton.
Of course on late planted
otton it will be necessary t
make our crop during the
month Of August. When good
weather comes it would be adj
disable to apply a long last
ng insecticide such as guth-
on or SEWN But during the
threatening weather condit-
.ons we are having now it
would be better to go twice

ion.

him nearly IS years.

School Fare Subsidy
Hits Snoq in Senate

to ride D. C. Transit. Pupils
pay 10 cents.
Senator Williams said today,
he is not necessarily opposed to
the subsidy.
The bill was passed last week
without objection under a pro-
cedure requiring unanimous
consent. Senator Williams said
he was not familiar with the
financial implications Of the
subsidy and, because of their
complications, thought the bill
merited more examination by
Senators.
The bill has not ben received
by the House, since there was
no House session Friday or
Saturday. Transmittal would
have occurred at noon today
except for the Williams motion,
which, until it is acted on,
simply holds the bill on the
Senate floor.
AS cleared by the Senate,
the legislation would require
the District to pay D. C. Tran
sit each year an amount equal
to the difference between the
current 10-cent school fare and
the 20-cent adult token fare.
This subsidy would not be
allowed to provide the COM
pany a profit above the rate
of return fixed as reasonable
by the Metropolitan Area

company's last rate case.
