WORK HATS SPORT SHIRTS MEXICAN PALM SHARPE SKIP DENT SANFORIZED 98c Dry Goods Co. $1.39 "The House Of Better Values" ONE Economist Reminds Cotton Farmers Of Allotment Rulings Enforcement of cotton acreage allotments by the penalties vided under marketing quotas will require reorganization of enterpris. es on many Oklahoma farms, J. D. Campbell, Oklahoma A.

and M. lege agricultural economist, said today. Cotton acreage allotments for 1950 are accompanied marketing quotas. Campbell pointed out farmers who plant more than their alloted acreage in cotton will be alized about one half of the parity price of cotton (between 14 and 15 cents per pound) the amount, produced on acreages above their allotments, Excess acreages may be destroy. ed in order to comply with the Pro.

duction Marketing administration regulations. Those farmers who mpt comply with acreage allotments will not be eligible for loans this fall. While market prices will ly be only slightly lower or bly above loan rates, the will likely force practically every' farmer to comply with their cotton allotments. The economist added that the major purpose of cotton acreage allotments is to distribute the den of reduction in cotton acreages. Marketing quotas enforce the age reductions through penalties.

This is part of the current ural program which is intended reduce supplies into line with demand and to prevent the cost price supports from becoming burdensome. It has been estimated that 75 to 80 percent of the Oklahoma allotment of 1,243,297 acres will planted in cotton, unless transfer of allotments is permitted. bill has been passed recently provides for some additional crease in acreage in an attempt obtain somewhat more equitable justment between farms, According to the December report of the Crop Reporting board, U. D. there was a total of 1,344,000 acres of cotton in cultivation Oklahoma July 1, 1949.

In 10. year period, 1936.45, Oklahoma averaged 1,882,000 acres of in cultivation July 1. Campbell emphasized that ba planted on some where it has not been planted recent years. Other farmers have been planting a large tion of their land in cotton will forced to reduce their cotton age severely. The total effect likely be a sizable reduction in total cotton acreage.

Beer Tavern Atiracts Farmers to Town Guess I'm like most farmers when it comes to knowing what I like, having opinions of my own.

I like a cold glass of beer at night after I've done the chores and sit down to relax and read the paper. But I've no quarrel with my neighbor who gets his pleasure drinking buttermilk. Speaking of simple pleasures, one of the things I enjoy most is when I go to town to do my trading on Saturdays and stop is at the beer tavern afterwards. Usually I And a bunch of fellows there from this part of the county and I reckon that being able to enjoy our beer and visit in a nice clean place like that is one of the reasons we go to that town instead of one that's a little closer. Through its Self-Regulation Program the beer industry assists the retailer in seeing that the sale of 3.2 beer is in accord with regulations and conforms to the high standards of the industry.

U.S. BREWERS FOUNDATION OKLAHOMA DIVISION 1304 First National Building. Oklahoma City. Okla The best way to combat pests that attack the family garden is to direct, a strong, vigorous attack wainst them before they get a hold. P.

R. Walton, entomologist at Oklahoma A. and M. College, stated: The cutworm dis the first enemy that must he contended with in lahoma, Walton said. It is ready to move in on onions, cabbage, toes, and peppers from the time they are first set out until the ground warms up in early May.

The most effective way to fight it is with poison bait, made in small batches by mixing two tablespoons cd sodium fluorilicate with one quart of bran. The flea bettle is another cool weather pest which attack- tomatoe. peppers, beans and cabbage. DDT used at strength of from three to five percent, or a one percent rotenone dust is effective against the beetle. Pea aphids, which infest English pears, may be dealt with best by ire five percent DDT dust.

The bean leaf beetle is in evident from the latter part of April til early May. It also is killed by DDT or rotenone dust. DDT in three to five percent dust is very effective against the potato beetle, Walton pointed out. This insect is active from the time toes first come up until they are harvested. Leaf hoppers are sucking pests that harm potatoes and beans from early April and during the entire life pan of the plant.

DDT is used against them. Cheumber beetles and cabbage become active during the first warm days of May and attack voung plants as soon as they come through the soil. Cucumber beetles are best trolled by using cryolite dust, 25 to 30 percent, or lindane dust one percent. Cabbage worms are, easily handled with three to five percent DDT dust Walton pointed out. The corn ear worm attacks the pods and fruits of beans and toes.

DDT dust should be applied as soon as injury is noticed. Treatment of garden corn against this insect involves a manual ation. The gardner should wait til the silks die on the infested ears, then cut off the tips at the base of the milk channel This keeps the worms from working down through the ears. Meion aphids, which hit squash, canteloupes; watermelons and cumbers, can be handled with a three percent nicotine or one cent, lindane dust. Squash bugs, which Walton cated are extremely hard to control, damage squash, cucumbers and sometimes watermelons.

Repeated treatment with one percent lindane dust recommended. MRS. W. K. BRICE HOSTESS TO COUNTRY CLUB PARTY Mrs.

E. Bailey says. When the first Monday is a holiday the commission opens bids on Tuesday following the second Monday.

The program will be aired by Station KEYE, 890 of Oklacoma City. The innovation was tried out at the April letting and was a distinct success, highway commissioners say.
