This'n That BY RONALD TUCKER One doesn't have to be very observing to notice all of the Johnson grass in fence rows, corners, and waste spots when driving over the county. The last of August and September are good months to get the old sprayer out and put the kill to Johnson grass.

We are still recommending at the rate of 4 pounds per square rod. often asked how much water to use to mix the Sodium Chlorate. It matter as long as you get the correct amount of poison. Cotton insects have been very slow this week; but I would advise you to keep a close check in your fields. Checking every third day is not too often.

Gardens been good this year. Tomatoes will not polinate when the temperature is over 90 degrees, and of course sweet corn and other garden products have been hurt by high temperature and lack of rain; but Mrs. C. G. Scott of Sikeston, route 3 must be a good gardener.

I was surveying a ditch for Mr. Scott on Monday, and when dinner came. I was invited to eat. Sweet corn, green beans, and tomatos out of the garden with a nice fryer out of the chicken yard with plenty of ice tea sure makes a tasty meal. I understand that the Scotts are thinking about taking a IFYE girl (International Foreign Youth from England.

I understand that she will be about 22 years old, and will be with the Scotts for a month. I know of no other farm or family that would be a better place to put a representative of a foreign government than this home. On Sept. 17, we are supposed to have 17 South Americans here for one day to study 4-H methods in teaching cotton production. I really believe that this type of work with youth of foreign countries can do a lot of good toward World understanding.
