THE CALDWELL NEWS
On Texas Farms
By W. II. DARROW
Editor Extension Service
Tackling: his problem of producing
cfcaap milk by providing a geod home-
grown roughage, P. P. Boyd, Gregg
county demonstrator, has l>een cutting
m fine quality hay from his meadow
•owed to a clover mixture of White
Dutch and yellow sweet clover, and
medic and vetch. This added
to the Bermuda, carpet and Dallis
grasses already growing gives a high
grade hay which has yielded about
twice as much as formerly.
Lavaca County
Is Doggy
Place
Without generally recommending
such intensive farming, but as re-
vealing how much hay may be
squeezed out of land with good
management, the county agent of
Frio county tells of how H. H. Page
of Pearsall produced $420 worth of
Brace plums from a six-acre orchard,
and 2110 from pinto beans planted
between the trees. Mr. Page plans
to plant fall tomatoes in this two-
year-old orchard for a third revenue
from a minor farm enterprise.
AUSTIN, Texus, Aug. 21 (UP).—
Three-fourths of all the dogs in Texat
are in lavaca county, if the tax rendi-
tions of the counties may be believed.
Lavaca county rendered 2,390 of
them for taxation, while Harris coun-
ty. which led the state in other'
valuations, reported only 34 pedigreed
pups, mongrels, pooches, or what have
you.
The Lavaca county dogs were
valued at $2,400.
Wharton county doesn't have so
many dogs, but a Wharton county
dog is worth more. The county re-
ported 961 of them for a total tax-
valuation of $9,930.
The bigger counties generally have
few dogs the owners pay taxes up- i
on. The 34 Harris county dogs were
valued at $1,045; Dallas county re-
ported 30 dogs and their value at $1,-
500; Bexas county 27, worth $1,200.

Valley May Help
Foes of Kohler
SAN BENITO, Texas, Aug. 14<UP)
— Belief that the Rio Grande Valley
will figure in the coming race for
Republican nomination for governor of
Wisconsin is being expressed as u re-
sult of information received from S.
M. Patterson, secretary-manager of
the Weslaeo chamber of commerce,
from a former Wisconsin resident.
According to this source of in-
formation, John LaFollette, youngest
son of the late Robert IjaFollettc of
Wisconsin, intends to obtain propa-
ganda to be used against Governor
Kohler. whom he will oppose for re-
nomination in the Wisconsin primary.
that Governor Kohler's party of per-
sonally appointed investigators re-
ported favorably on this section fur-
nishes sufficient grounds for the
opinion that the proposed visit or La-
Follette to the valley is designed for
the sole purpose of gaining political
propaganda to be used in the Wiscon-
sin campaign.

Reports indicate that considerable, systematic plan to can a sufficient
rancor still exists in Wisconsin over
the recent controversy started with
the refusal of the Wisconsin Real

Valley land operators to do business
in the state.

their case in the Wisconsin courts and

to meet the requirements of an ade-

Beans, peas, squash, greens, carrots,
corn, okra, pickles, tomatoes, soup
mixtures and chicken are some of the
foods that have been canned from the
farm supplies.
PLAN TO INCORPORATE
SAN BENITO, Texas, Aug 21
(UP).-—Formal resolution has been
passed by members of the San Benito
Rotary Club to incorporate. Decision
to incorporate is a part of a plan for
the satisfactory management of the
municipal swimming pool established
by the club several years ago.
The Midland county commissioners'
court furnished the seed, candidates
for county offices furnished the grub,
while the neighbors did the job of
planting 4,000 acres of crops for hail-
stricken farmers in one community in
that county. It took four days to do
the job.

Cotton Leaf Worm
May Be Serious
COLLEGE STATION- Predicting
general damage to Texas from leaf
worm ravages should showers extend
over the State, R. R. Reppert, Ex-
tension Service entomologist, has sent
emergency suggestions for control to
all county agents. Scattered infesta-
tions of the leaf worm have been re-
ported as far as the Oklahoma bor-
der, but a general eompaign for con-
trol is unnecessary on the basis of
early August information, he says.
In his letter to county agents Mr.
Reppert says: "Dusting with calcium
arsenate is the approved method of i
leafworm control, using from three
to five pounds per acr~. Where dews
are not experienced, spraying with
the same material, using about two
pounds to fifty gallons of water, will
be the best method, keeping the mix-
ture well agitated during the applica-
tion. As long as calcium arsenate
can be obtained, we would advise
against the use of Paris Green, al-
though where necessary th:s can be
used. In the case of dry dust the
addition of at least four or five parts
of hydrated lime to one part of poison
should be used, and in the case of a
spray at least an equal amount of the
same material should be added. We
advise against the use of white
arsenic, mixtures of white and sal
soda, or of stock dips.
"AH the information that we have
at present indicates that poison sup-
plies are adequate to present needs.
In the face of sudden demand, how-
ever, farmers in some sections may
find it difficult to obtain the poison
in time to save their cropB. It will be
well for the individual farmers to
anticipate their needs by laying in
supplies of poison at once to meet
their minimum requirements. As we
analyse the situation it appears cer-
tain that farmers in general will have
to fight the leaf worm before the
present crop is made, except possibly
in the extreme western part of the
State and in sections of the coastal
area where the crop has already been
made."

Announcing a new
production record
290009000 Chevrolet Sixes now on the road
Since January, 1929, Chevrolet has produced and
sold over 2,000,000 six-cylinder automobiles—
nearly five times as many as any other manufac-
turer has ever built in an equal length of time.
These 2,000,000 buyers have chosen Chevrolet
because it offers many desirable qualities not ob-
tainable in any other car so low in price—
—the smoothness, silence and flexibility of a
modern six-cylinder valve-in-head engine—the
greater comfort and roadability of a modern,
full-length chassis—and the style, safety and
distinction of bodies by Fisher.
Yet, despite these fine car advantages, the Chev-
rolet Six is unusually economical. Its gas, oil,
