time grows closer.
Tuck Corhett f.-iid that they had i
dusted in around 400 acres of small
grain. Soma of it was coming up
next to the terraces where the wa-
ter had stood after their last rain.
A small grain demonstration plot
will be set up at Cecil Brown's
place which is looted about 7 mil-
es south of Breckenridge on the
Cisco Highway. Two other such
demonstrations will be placed on
the farms of Jesse Garrett of the
HarpersvilU- community and Arth
ur Davis who lives few miles past
of Ivan. These demonstrations are
set up to determine what varities
of srrvill grain are bt-st adapted
for this county.
According to the Agricultural
Research Service of the I'. S. Dept
of Agriculture the damage to hide
and flesh of each cattle grub in
fested animal is more than IT.mi
per head. The average annual loss
in c.ittle due to cattle grubs is con-
servatively estimated at $100,0110,-
This loss may be contributed to
st-vere hide damage, unsightly and
devalued carcasses due to trim-
ming lower feedlot gains, reduced
milk production, and frightened
runninir cattle during heel fly sea-
son further reduces gain ,*tnd pro-
duction.
There are two species of cattle
itiubs. the common <uid :I;e noith-
i.-in. Roth work in similar fashion.
I he heel fly, the adult stage of
the cattle grub, lays its eggs on
the hair of the legs during the first
varm weather of spring. These
hatch in two to six days ,-ind the
larvae immediately bore into the
skin. They migrate through the
animal's body and months later
reach the animal's back. Here they
form a pocket or cyst ,'ind grow
more rapidly. A hole is bored thro
ugh the hide for breathing. Final-
ly they emerge and drop to the
ground to start the cycle ull over
ajrain.
The following control measures
may be taken for treatment of
grub infested livestock: 1. 7'j lb
of dei i is or rube' containing .V ■
rotenone per 100 gal. of water as
a spray; 2. 1 lb. of derris or cube
containing , rotenone to 2 lb.
of heavy nonalkaline dust diluent,
or a prepared dust containing 1.67
'• rotenone.
Treat, at 30 -day intervals as
long ,is necessary, starting when
grubs first make a hole through
the skin on the animal's bark. A
minimum of 3 oz. of dust mixture
should be worked thoroughly into
the hair <vn the back of the animal.
If spray is used, the spray mach
ine >h .u!d develop at least 2(h) lbs
of piessuve.
In order to receive lower freight
rates on the shipment of rough,ag-
es. the county agent wrote letters
to four different railroads. Each
letter gave a complete description
on the present drouth situation
that exists in this county.
The following reply received
from Mi F. J. Conrad, vice presi-
dent Rock Island Lines, concern-
ing the problem is as follows: 'I
can appreciate thoroughly just
what you and others are confron-
ted with, and nothing would please
me more than to be able to shoul-
der the load that would be occas-
ioned by your proposed revision in
the feed rates. Unfortunately, as
you are surely aware, the railroads
h,ave their problems too, what with
increased expenses occasioned by
the increased costs of materials
and supplies, as well as past and
proposed increased labor costs, all
of which make it impracticable for
me to hold out to you any promise
of assistance in connection with
feed rates."

Community-
(Continued From Page One)
town to grow like Topsy. People
choose a community because they
think it is the best possible place
to do business, to raise their family
and to make the best possible use
of their property.
Jameson said that he had made
a quick tour of the community
and hid noted that unsightly busi-
nesses were located in nice resi-
dential areas. In choosing a site to
do business, industries notice
these things, he said. Industries
want to know about the commun-
ity planning and zoning. They
want to know what chance they
have to do business .and what chan-
ce they have to expand. They want
to know about parking and traffic
problems and the plan for growth
in the community.
Work And Plan
It is the responsibility of the
community to look ahead and see
what will be .available, to make
provisions for growth. He empha-
sised that change comes slowly. It
takes a while to get a community
to thinking about its problems. To
plan, all conditions in the commun-
ity must be taken into considera-
tion, the people who live there,
the type of community it is. It has
to be a people's plan. Planning is
a lot of hard work, a long invol-
ved process. The master plan must
be general then the specific items
fall into place. "You must keep in
mind that the plan must be wanted
or it won't work." he cautioned.
The plan of the be/ird must be
understood by all of the people.
No one is against planning when
they understand it. The major
opponents to planning are "fly by-
night" promoters who are not in-
terested in the long-range plan for
the growth of the community.
In answer to questions, Jameson
said that the City Commission ap-
points the board who make inves-
tigation of situations and make re
commendations to the Commission
who passes or rejects the recom-
mendation. It should be composed
of people representing a variety of
businesses. "Don't overload it with
any particular profession," he war-
ned. People who are interested in
community growth should be cho-
srii to Serve on the bo?rd.
Legal Angle
Under the law, already establish-
ed businesses cannot be placed un-
der hardship but must comply
with any reasonable .alteration re-
comended, Jameson said, and he
offered the services of any member
of the Abilene board in assisting
Breckenridge in any way possible
if such a board should materialize
in the community.
In the business se' lion proceed-
ing the progr,am, .- rthur Miller,
president of the Chamber of Com-
merce, presided. Eugene Thomp-
son reported on the progress of the
Farm-to-market road to Strawn.
John Culwell spoke on the propos-
ed building at High School and
asked members present to encour-
age their friends and neighbors to
vote. He showed a picture of the
architect's drawing of the $250,-
000 building. Miller announced
that the Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors had endorsed
this bond issue.
Jimmy Ferrel reported on the
progress of Alpine Sportswear,
Inc., saying that work was pro-
ceeding satisfactorily but more
permanent employees could be us-
ed. He also announced that titles
hail been cleared on land for the
Housing Project and that an an-
nouncement would be forthcoming.
Families Moved In
Miller announced that the Boss
Manufacturing Company would
move into their new location this
week.
It was announced that Magnolia
Petroleum Company is moving 12
families into the community for at
least a year and Mr. Miller urged
business men to notify the Cham-
ber office if any houses or apart-
ments were avai'.able.
Robert Housel. Executive Secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commer-
ce. introduced the speaker. Robert
Oglesby, minister o' the Church
of Christ, brought the invocation.

Surges* Declares
Money Is Scaree
FORT WORTH The "un-
precedented peacetime prosperity"
of the United States has spawned
Undersecretary of the Treasury W.
Randolph Burgess.
Burgess told the American As-
sociation of Oilwell Drilling con-
tractors Tuesday night that the
problem is how to "find the mon-
ey to finance this activity without
'inflation-without, in effect, print-
ing money."
He said the Federal Reserve ,Sy-
stem h'is "allowed the demand for
funds in excess of available sav-
ings to express itself naturally in
higher interest rates."
