It's 320 miles from Seminole
to Kerrville, Texas. That's where
our kinspeople, the Lennos
Nortons, are building their new
home. They drew us a map and
we were on our way, arriving at
approximately 8 p. m.Wednesday.
Even the entrance way was ex-
tended. We had just crowed the
Guadalupe River on a low water
bridge and were greatly surprised
when a guard stepped out from
his housing post and informed
us that it would cost $1 to get in
to see them. How many of you-
've got kinfolhs that after making
a six hour drive, it co6t you one
buck to see? (The Nortons are
staying in the Kerrville State
Park while their new house is
being built in Kerrville, South.)
The hill country is booming in
Kerr County and it's not all
brought on by sheep and goats.
The 65 miles distance between
Houston, San Antonio and the
area has encouraged weekend
visitors and summer homes up
and down the Guadalupe. It
seems that every hill top either
has a new house, a new founda-
tion, or a for sale sign with re-
strictions on it. The drive up
Highway 27 to Ingram, then to
Hunt and on up the river would
make any West Texan dream of
water front property.
Thirteen deer were in one
front yard, including a Christmas
tree buck and another with ex-
tended spike horns. Kids were
swimming, sliding down mossy
dams and yelling like Tarzan as
they tried out the vines over
the water apd going down flumesj
in inner tubes.
The cypress trees and cypress
knees along the river would im-
prove any drive with their lace
like foliage. If the sailboats,
the waterfalls, huge trees, paddle
boats, spacious yards and all the
youth camps and clubs were not
enough to hold your attention
some of the names along the way
added spice. We noticed these:
Helter Skelter Shelter and Hodge
Podge Lodge.

NOMINATIONS TO GSPA
BOARD BEING
ACCEPTED
Nominations to the grain
sorghum producers board are
being accepted by the Grain
Sorghum Producers Association, *
1212 14th Street, Lubbock, Texas.
This twelve men board will be
elected in the October grain
sorghum referendum. It will
have the responsibility of ad-
ministering the funds collected
to promote grain sorghum sales
and to initiate and conduct re-
search vital to grain sorghum
production.
Elbert Harp, GSPA executive
irector , said, "any grain
irghum farmer in the referen-
area may have his name on
e ballot by submitting his nom-
ination signed by himself and
ten other grain farmers to the
association office by September
4, 1969." The election of this
board will be held on the same
ballot which the grain farmers
decide whether or not they want
to expand their market develop-
ment and research program.
Members of this board will not
receive pay for their services.
Upon approval of the referen-
dum and election of this com-
modity board, five cents per
ton will be collected at the
point of first sale of grain
sorghum within a 29 county area
of the high plains and panhandle
It is a voluntary program and
anyone not wanting to support
it may request his money back
and it will be refunded promptly
without any questions asked.
BOLLWORMS IN THE
SOUTH PLAINS
BOLLWORMS ARE BEING
FOUND IN MANY COTTON
FIELDS THROUGHOUT THE
SOUTH PLAIN S, REPORTS
DR. BILL CLYMER, EXTENSA
ION ENTOMOLOGIST, AND
PRODUCERS SHOULD PAY
PARTICULAR ATTENTION
TO AVOID ECONOMIC DAMAGE
FROM THIS INSECT. HOW-
EVER , HE CAUTIONS
AGAINST SPRAYING IF NOT
NEEDED AS AN APPLICATION
OF INSECTICIDE WILL KILL
THE BENEFICIAL INSECTS
AND PROBABLY NECESSITATE
CONTINUATION OF SPRAY-
ING AT APPROXIMATELY
5 DAY INTERVALS.
- lOLLWORM ADULTS OR
MOTHS TEND TO BE MORE
ACTIVE IN LUSH GROWTH
j AND AFTER THE RECENT
RAINS COTTON WILL BE IN
BETTER CONDITION AND
MORE VULNERABLE TO
ATTACK, ALSO, DAMAGE
MAY BE GREATER IN THE
YOUNGER JUNE PLANTED
COTTON.
ACCORDING TO PAST
RESEARCH, ONE BOLLWORM
Scatter it where flies gather.
It attracts houseflies, kills even resistant strains
quickly. Long-lasting and low-cost, it’s safe and
easy to use.

CAN DESTROY 8 SQUARES ^N
AND ABOUT 2 BOLLS, SAYS
CLYMER. THIS CAN BE
QUITE AN EXPENSIVE PEST
WHEN HEAVY POPULATIONS
ARE PRESENT. RESEARCH
HAS SHOWN 2,000 - 2.S00
WORMS PER ACRE ARE OF
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE.
THIS IS ABOUT 1.5 TO 2
BOLLWORMS PER 10 FEET OF
ROW.
PRODUCERS ARE URGED
TO CHECK THEIR FIELDS
CLOSELY BY CAREFULLY
EXAMINING PLANTS IN SEV-
ERAL AREAS ACROSS THE
FIELD. IF AN AVERAGE OF
2 BOLLWORMS PER 10 FEET
OF ROW IS FOUND, CONTROL
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
CLYMER POINTS OUT, HOW-
EVER, THAT WORMS OVER
1/2" IN LENGTH ARE MOST
DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.
