With

County Agent
"Misprints"
July 19th
Bagworms are apparently
working over-time right now
In Cherokee County. We've
been contacted concerning
their control several times
this past week, and George
Loden of Maydelle and Jack
Ford of Rusk brought samp,
les by the office for identi-
fication. These are the worms
that spin a cocoon about them-
selves using the leaf frag-
ments in the process. They
attach their head ends to the
limbs and twigs with the main
body hanging down in the co-
coon. They crawl along in
this manner with the front
end emerged enough to feed
on the foliage. It is not un-
common for extremely heavy
infestations to kill shrubs or
trees.
Although bagworms appear
to prefer frees and shrubs
in this area belonging to the
cedar and juniper families
they will get on other types.
While these worms are still
young and actively feeding,
they may be killed with sev-
eral inseciicides, among
which are Sevin, Malathion,
and Toxaphene. Sprays are
probably a little more effec-
tive than dusts.
I talked with Mr. Kills Reed
of Ironton early ttys week
and lie was having some prob-
lems with grasshoppers on
bermuda pastures.
These Insects can be effect-
ively controlled with several
different insecticides. Some
of these have restriction on
harvest and grazing while oth-
ers do not. For information
concerning materials to use,
along with necessary precau-
tions, contact my office for
a copy of "Texas Guide for
Controlling Insects and Mites
on Grain and Forage Crops."
Hot weather like we're hav-
ing now can cause problems
witli lust about all kinds of
livestpek, especially those
that have to he confined all
or a part of the time.
Dr. W. n. Thomas, our In-
tension Swine Specialist,tells
us that the i/e of next fall's
and winter's swine litters may
he determined by management
given sows during these hot
months. I Ic says that research
has proven that heat stress
or high temperatures during
the 15 days following breed-
ing results in fewer viable
embryos and lower survival
rates. So keep the old sow
coo). Some use water fogging
systems, while some pipe
cool air to the sows' pen.
Dr. Fred Thornberry, Area
Poultry Specialist, says that
last summer on sunny lays
with ninety-plus tempera
tures, whitewash on roof of
poultry houses consistently
reduced poultry hou-e tem-
peratures by 4 to 6 degrees
in uninsulated houses. IFvou'
re losing production due to
heat stress, whitewash may
be the answer. Contact my
office for whitewash formula
if you need one.
A, M. V1eekma, l.xtension
Dairy Specialist, reports
some research work show-
ing the effect of temperature
and humidity on milk produc-
tion. This work shows that
an increase of 10 degrees de
creased the butter fat test by
0.1 percent. Cattle with an
overhead evaporatively cool-
ed shade produced an average
of 4 pounds more milk per
cows that did not have the
shade. More Important, the
breeding efficiency of the
cooled cattle was twice that
of the cattle subjected to no
shade.
The evidence points up that
animals need to be kept cool
and comfortable to produce
at their best. There are many
ways to do It, depending upon
the kind of animal. In our
area, simple inexpensive
methods such as shade and
whitewash can help tremen-
dously.
Specimens of Azalea leaves
coming Into our office with
brown, burned-looking tips
indicates this may be a fair-
ly widespread problem. Dr.
leon Smith, Area Extension
Plant Pathologist, had this
to say about some that we
sent in la-t week for exam-
ination; "Water-soaked ar-
eas on leaves and tip.burns
are due to a crown or root
problem. No foliage disease
is involved. Check first to
see if malch is above crown
of plant where branches fork.
The Annual Schochler Re-
union will be held at the A-
merlcan Legion Hall In Rusk
Sunday, July 19th, according
to Mrs. Delia Schochler Bice,
granddaughter of the late Jo-
seph Lawrence Schochler.
The reunion is held In hon-
or of the late Joseph Law-
rence Schochler who was born
In 1796 somewhere near the
Rhine River near Hamburg,
Germany.
Mrs. Bice write1, "Imagine
a tiny boy, not yet 12, who
stowe 1 away on a sailln'-'ves -
sel bound for America. The
youth hid In the darkness a.
moni' 'he rat1, without food
or water. He lived 104 years
and was a man with a -tronf?
determination to !o the things
he 'hou'-'ht was ripht in the
eye1 of God and man."
Mrs. Bice extend- an In
vitation to everyone to come
and hear the story of Jo^
eph Lawrence Schochler and
share In the fun and fellow
ship of the reunion.
Mrs, P,ice reminds, "that
no one in America wears the
name Schochler except a de
cendant of the late Joseph
I awrence Schochler. lie lived
three centuries, horn in 1798
and livedall through the 1800's
and died at the age of 104 in
1902. He is burled In the Lyn-
ches Chapel Cemetery in
Cherokee County, Texas."
Mrs. Bice is the oldest liv-
ing Schochler descendant.

Now is the time for all good cooks to come to the aid
of Mrs. Gene Meyer si Like, help! She wants your favor,
lte recipe to be Included In a special cookbook edition, which
is being compiled under the auspices of the Rusk Chamber
of Commerce Tourist and Beautiflcatlon Committee! Think
that's a mouthful? You're right...try saying It!
But seriously...Rusk has many marvelous cooks (If you
doubt It, just stage an "eat-in" at the next covered dish
supper! A true testing ground for good cooks. And accord-
ing to !¿1rs Meyers, the Committee wants to Include as
many recipe1 a* possible...if you haven't been contacted
to share your favorite formula of culinary achievement,
please consider this your invitation, and let Mrs. Meyers
or the Rusk Chamber office, hear from you!
My favorite recipe begins like this; "First, pick up the
can opener..." My second favorite reads; "Remove the
wrapper from this frozen package..."
We have previou-ly shared the thouehs of others in this
column...an' since cookinc is the topic today, here's an.
other horrowe ' clip...from the Westvllle, Indiana INDICATOR.
It was orielnally found in a cookbook...(how about that?)
compile ! by a la lies group from the Baptist Church of
Wolcott, Indiana. Till INDICATOR reprinted the recipe
which was entitled "How To Cook A Husband". It follows;
"A creat many husbands are entirely spoiled by misman-
agement in cooking, and =o are not tender and good. Some
women keep them too constantly in hot water, others freeze
them; others put them in a stew, others roast them, others
keep them constantly in a pickle.
It cannot be supposed any husband will be good and tender
managed this way. But they are delicious when properly
treated. Don't keep him in the kettle by force, as he will
stay there himself if proper care is taken. If he should
sputter or fizz don't be anxious, some husbands do this.
Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call
'kisses,' but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little
spice improves him, but It must be used with judgement.
Do not try him with something sharp to see if he Is be-
coming tender. Stir him gently the while lest he be too
long in the kettle and become fat and tasteless.
If you follow these directions you will find him very di-
gestible, agreeing nicely with you, and he will keep as
long as you want."
We're not sure how well this old recipe will work to
day in the age of power-drive can openers, outdoor elec
trie grills and kitchen cooking implements with control
panels of such complexity as to tax the ability of a mas
ter engineer (which most housewives have to be these days).
But we seem to detect some elements in the "cooking"
methods which suggest that the modern wife of today isn't
too far removed from her maxl-skirted grandmother of
yesterday.

FROM
THE
LIONS
DEN
By: E.B. Muaiclt, Jr.
I
A boy's voice changes when
he becomes a man, and a girl's
voice changes whfen she be-
comes a wife. Our Invoca-
tion was given last week by
Lion W. D. Draper, a la Rev.
Jim McKeown. Brings back
pleasant memories. Our at-
tendance was poor so this is
the Thursday for you to be in
attendance. A report from the
Lions Club Swimming Pool is
good, so says Lion Leon Pled-
ger. Lion Glenn Stanley pre-
sided In the absence of Lion
President Jack Fitts, who is
attending Lions International
Convention. We hope that he
will report back with a lot
of vim, etc.
Lion Frank Merriweather
was program chairman and
presented a film shown by
Lion Billy Watson, entitled
"Southern Africa Today".
From this film we learned
that some sections .ire very
dry with less than 1/2 inch
per year and yet in other
parts of the country it is
very lush and beautiful. There
are also mountains from 6 to
7 thousand feet in height, these
are along the east coast. Many
thousands still farm as long
ago but others are changing
with instruction from the
white africans. The cities are
continuing to grow causing
a great housing problem.
Their problem Is that they
need more capital to build.
The cities are the result of
the white man. They have
the tall buildings, paved
roads, schools, colleges and
recreational facilities to
make life a joy. They are
having a good life through
Industry and trade.
Our next Rusk Lions Club
Rodeo will be In August and
will be a three night affair.
This is to be an "Open"
Rodeo, that is if you want
to enter an event you may.
You do not have to belong to
any cowboy organization to
participate.
Mary; John, you remind me
of the sea. John; Why? Is it
because I'm so wild, socare-
free, so restless, so roman-
tic? Mary: No, it's because
you make me sick too." The
great trouble with the school
of experience Is that the
course Is so long that the
graduates are too old to go
to work. Former President
Lyndon B. Johnson made this
statement-I have learned only
two things are necessary to
keep one's wife happy. First
Is to let her think she's hav-
ing her own way. Second Is
to let her have it. See you

taurant.
