QB Club Plans
First Meet at
School Tonight
First meeting of the season
for the Crosbyton Quarter-
back Club has been called for
tonight, Thursday, at 8 p.m.
by E. H. Flournoy, president.
It will be held at the usual
meeting place for the club,
the school lunch room.
The meeting has two main
purposes, the president said.
Members will discuss raising
money to send one of the
roaches to the annual coach-
ing school. Expenses of the
others are paid by the school
board, he said.
Business items will also in-
clude plans for printing of the
programs for football games
during the coming season and
decision on assisting in finan-
cing of more lighting for the
football field.
A film of the Texas Tech-
T. C. U. football game last fall
will be shown.
Spot Spraying, In-Season Control
Emphasized at Weevil Meet
‘‘Spot spraying and in-sea-
son control are a must,” said
Don Rummel, area entomolo-
gist for the Texas Agricultur-
al Extension Service, at a
meeting of farm leaders from
Crosby, Dickens, Garza, Kent,
Floyd, Briscoe, and Motley
counties, in Crosbyton July 15.
Other speakers on the pro-
gram included Don Anderson,
chairman of the Boll Weevil
Steering Committee; D. H.
Russel and Ben Whitacre,
Plant Pest Control; and Bill
Gunter, District Agent with
the Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
Rummel says that boll wee-
vil numbers must be kept
down to aid the diapause con-
trol spray program this fall.
Although it is estimated that
90 percent of the weevils go-
ing Into diapause last year
were killed by the spray pro-
gram, the number going into
diapause must be further re-

Seems to me it’s past time j
for the White River board to
make some plans for conces-
sions at the lake. For in-
stance, some of Mrs. Alleta
Walker’s homemade pie
would taste mighty good to
folks driving down to view the
lake. And it wouldn't hurt to
have some coffee or soda pop
to go with it. Even if we can't
fish there we still get hungry
and thirsty.
The scenery down there
could use some shade, too
Someone suggested flying
over and dropping out some
Chinese elm seed so there will
eventually be some shade
trees.
You know, from the progress
reports on the lake one would
almost think the WRMWD
board of directors Is interested

The effect the two cent state
saies tax is having on child-
ren worries some local retail-
ers. They have found that
when a child has a quarter to
spend, frequently he or she
will buy 20 cents worth, then
go back and get another
nickle’s worth to avoid pay-
ing the penny tax. Evading a
penny tax doesn’t add up to
as much as evading income
tax unless you believe that
the tree grows as the twig is
bent.
* it it it
Mrs. Ray Patton added a
comment on the local water
from the White River reser-
voir, "It hasn’t seemed bad to
me. I’m uaed to It aa I waa
raised at Abilene and thla la
the only kind of water we
ever had. But thla haa certain-
ly furnished an outstanding
conversation piece since every
duced this year.
He stated this example: A
field last year containing 1000
weevils per acre going into
diapause was reduced by 90
percent This still left 100 wee-
vils going into diapause. If
this number can be kept
down to 100 weevils per acre
by spot spraying and in-sea-
son control and a 90 percent
kill was accomplished by the
fall program this year, this
would only leave 10 weeviLs
per acre going into diapause.
D. H. Russell and Ben Whit-
tacre gave a report on the
number of fields infested with
boll weevils above the Cap-
rock and where the boll wee-
vil survey teams were operat-
ing. There were 13 fields in-
fested above the Caprock in
Crosby County. These are all
on the edge of the Caprock
and veTy light.
“The survey teams,” says
Russell, “are putting a white
flag in every field where wee-
vils are found.”
Farmers are urged to deter-
mine the area of infestation
and spot spray.
