The veteran oilman, who operates the sprawling Riid River bottom place developed by the late Macklin Adkisson, has discovered new sources of in the deep sands bordering the bmindar stream.

Using an electric log from an old oil well test, Turner struck water at 370 feet which flows 457 gallons a minute without pump. He figures he can develop 937 gallons a minute on pump. He drilled the first near the house, getting 200 gallons a minute flow from 400 feet.

Views and Reviews By S. L. Neal. County Agricultural Agent, Perhaps it is when insects have been pretty well controlled. there js no sure way to estimate the damage they might have done.

Perhaps it is because there is no way of knowing how well the crop might have produced if insects not attacked. At any rate, control is a must. There were cases where some disappointment individuals occurred. But it is easy to estimate that the majority of bolls of, cotton produced Ibis season owe their production to insect control. To be sure there is a cost to using insecticides.

How- it. seems-that insects are There to stay. We never kill them out. We lessen the population to a point of less destruction. We lower the counts and decrease the population by breaking their cycle of reproduction until a change in season occurs, and the plant food is removed which they feed upon.

Now is the time to greatly lessen the population of bollweev i 1 that will go into hibernation to come out next spring and start the population to multiply again. The fewer there are of any insects left to go through the winter un- killed, the less trouble there will be the next spring. So may we encourage the shredding of cotton stalks as soon as harvest is over so as' to take away the food for the weevils, thus with the 100 degree temperature in many instances yet, may kill and starve ASC NEWS By ROY P. MASON Lamar County Office Manager Both the acreage reserve and conservation reserve agreements pf the Soil Bank Program' contain a statement that grazing or harvesting of any Conservation Reserve or Acreage Reserve in violation 'of a contract is subject to a civil penalty equal to 50 per cent of the payment for that year in addition to the loss of any payment due in the year in which the violation occurs. We are currently checking all acreage reserve agreements and are finding inany violations, the outcome of which we do not know.

Farmers designated a certain field to use for underplanted acreage and farmers who designated a certain field to turn-under and have changed fields find in the position of having harvested a crop from the designated acreage or have grazed same. "Other farms designated a certain acreage in the agreement and then decided not to comply with the agreement but failed to cancel the contract prior to the closing date. These same farmers then harvested the cotton he was destroy or he grazed the acreage that: he was to use for the underplanting. Farmers who signed agreements this year and those who sign-in the future will be expected to complete the agreement and are reminded that they, can not change the designated acreage after the contract is signed unless changed before closing date for signing. The farmer who agreed to destroy a certain amount of cotton on the East side of a certain tract but when he got home and looked over the field he decided and did dispose of the same acreage on the West side finds himself in the position of having harvested a crop from the designated acreage, which is the East side, even though he plowed under on the West.

WHEAT FARMERS will be offered opportunity to sign 1957 Acreage Reserve Agreem within the next few days and will continue through September 21. Any farmer who will not seed for harvest his full 1957 allotment for wheat should get an explanation of the program before the September 21 closing date.

J. W. many of them out. The ground in most fields is too hard to plow and the green material under adds considerable amount of humus but until it does rain and plowing can be done, shredding of the stalks will aid greatly in the destruction of weevils that will overwinter and be ready to strike with a heavy blow next spring.

Shredding will also destroy many of the weevils. in operation as well as to destroy the pink bollworm where this pest occurs to some degrees. Conservation of water is a must in the production of cotton as well as in the growing of other crops. If it rains in time to plant cover crops, winter legumes with or without mixing them with small grains will afford considerable grazing and enhance the humus content of the soil for the coming season's crop. They add cover to the land, break up the power of the rain drop that causes considerable packing of the land and add' organic material for growing the following crop to be produced.

Long time rotations with small grains and deep rooted legumes tend to build up the fertility of the soil with row crops coming into the rotation every fourth or fifth year. there is a very definite place for annual winter cover crops. Everyone concerned is invited to attend the meeting at 7 p. m. Thursday, September 6, when the growing of cover crops will be discussed.
