JJoll Weevils -have made their j
i ippearance and many squares are
ailing due partly to infestation
ind partly to wet weather, says
* :ounty agent J. E. Dodson. We
:onsider the very best method of s
o
control at this time is to pick
tip and bum all fallen squares
jluring the first few weeks of ^
plooming. The fallen squares f
Should be picked up at least once j
4ach week, preferrably ahead of
Cultivation. j"Where
cheap labor is available,
this practice will prove a
iractical supplement to pre- j
aquare poisoning. Then dust with t
;alcium arsenic. When 10% of the j
i leveloping squares shows boll j ^
vecvil egg punctures, begin dust- n
ng immediately. The percent s
lamaged is determined by count- Sl
ng 100 squares at each of sever-I
il points in the cotton field.! y
; Squares should be examined at' a
loints in the four porners andj
enter of each field.

tion on the squabbling withi
government agencies connecte
with the defense effort. Thes
follies evolving around strong pei
aonalities at the helm are cor
sidered a danger spot in the am
ament program. It is unlikel
! that the discord will be abate
unless the Japanese angle takt
a turn for the worse. Then
common menace may force coi
cord of factions.
Every member or a large an
strong-willed family knows fu
well the havoc which results froi
internal dissension. This is pri
cisely the situation regarding tl
j current feud between the Offii
l of Production Management ar
I j the Office of Price Control A<
THE STATE PORT PILOT
_ ministration as to spheres of au1
thority over defense plans. PerI
plexities of business men and
J labor leaders, who are expected
15 to cooperate with each agency
| on a voluntary or mandatory
? basis, are such that essential prosi
gress is slowed down. Apparently,
i the stop-gag tactics of President
IS Roosevelt are not sufficient to
I lessen the breach. Indeed the
|: Chief Executive and his Cabinet
. are contributing to the melee by
| name-calling stunts with isolaI
tionists. A legislator, in deriding
I the inconsistency of Congress in
i voting vast sums with only a
i futile gesture at possible econj?
omies, hit the nail on the head
with the comment that the legislature
and the executive branches
were like the frog trying to escape
from a well by making one
leap forward and slipping back
two steps in the end.
While the House is "debating"
the new revenue bill this week,
the oratory is not expected to
persuade anyone that it is anything
but a futile gesture. As
r the leaders have invoked a "gag"
' rule which prevents amendments
I from the floor, no changes can
I be made unless the Ways and
Means Committee which author..
ized the measure approves alter..
ations by the majority of the
v House membership. Administrating
forces have completed control
of the tax measure. Speeches
t on the bill are intended largely
t- for public effect, particularly in
>- the bailiwick of the orators. Many
it persons who have never contributed
to the maintenance of the
,s Federal government will be inie
eluded, by the terms of the new
2i law, in the army of taxpayers.
e It is noteworthy that emphasis is
IC placed on the expenditures of
e public funds for defense purposes.
This strikes a popular chord. Lit
y lie is saw aoouc ine uiiiiuns
e for non-denfense items which
Congress refused to pare down
ig to bare essentials in the interests j
n of economy.
g Pressure groups seeking largesse
for their members to harass Cond
gress. A proposal to provide a
j, pension for every World War
[. No. 1 veteran of $40 per month
1t is a source of concern with those
lt who want to curtail government
y expenses. A bill, H. R. 4845, has
passed the House and awaits Senate
action. It provides for a pension
to those veterans who were
in service at least 90 days and
on reaching 65 years are in need,
- without regard to service-caused
j disability. This "touch" would, it
is estimated, eventually take five j
[. billions from the public treasury.'
[_ Pensions and medical treatment;
0 are already given veterans for
e disabilities traceable to war service.
The pending measure goes
way beyond to authorize gifts to
e the former soldiers and sailors
t. who were mustered out as hale
d and hearty. Because it is sur- j
jj runded with political spikes, such i
c as bloc voting by potential bene1
ficiaries, the lawmakers are try5
ing to sneak it through without
n heaving a loud protest as anir
other "Treasury raid".
). Old Mother Nature may upset
it the best calculations of govern1
ment statisticians who are now
i; hazarding predications as far in
j- the future as 1980. The Bureau
it of the Census and the National
t, Resources Planning Board are
e agl-eed that the signs point to "a
steadily decreasing rate of popus
lation growth in the next several
i- decades". The estimates forecast

was pregnant, or conclusive evid- 1
ence of absolute dependence 1
wherein the wife would suffer t
undue hardship if compelled to t
live on the registant's income as s
a soldier, etc." I
This modified policy, General
Metts pointed out, is in line with i
a recent amendment to the reg- I
ulations, which is as follows: i
"It is not advisable to defer *
any such registrant if he acquir- e
ed such status for the purpose of (avoiding
training and service, and, f
therefore, no registrant should be r
placed in Class III if he acquired
such status after the day when r
he was required to be registered r
unless (1) he or his claimed de- 1
pendent or dependents present to t
the local board written statements 1
of the facts peculiarly within t
their knowledge, showing the '
history leading up to and the *
circumstances under which such '
status was acquired, and (2)
such facts show that the status j1
of the registrant was acquired s
in a manner consistent with the v
ordinary course of human affairs ^
and was not acquired to provide !
the registrant with a basis for a 1
claim for Class III deferment." '
General Metts was careful to j.
point out that in the application '
of these principles he anticipates,
that some mistakes wil be made, j
But he stated he was satisfied j1
that Selective Service agencies in!(
