'Cool damp and cloudy weather make ideal conditions for cotton insects. 7 The recent cold snap link ed with damp cloudy days might cost the cotton farmer in both time and. money. These few days will allow a buildup of cotton in sects. Most of the cotton in the county has reached the 8 leaf stage and most of it needs dusting or spraying. Many of the cotton farmers have already put down an application of nitrogen and the cotton is respond ing nicely. It seems that taking the county at large we have a better, more uniform stand of cotton than last year even with the unfavorable conditions. With the proper use of recommended insecticides we should expect one of the largest cotton yields. Small Grain About all the oats and barley have been cut and as the wheat ripens it too is being combined. Proper storage should be of great concern to all of us. Keep it so it will not be exposed to weather, leaks, blowing rain, and bins that are pushing out at the sides or bottom. Small grain is a favorite food for rats and mice. They spoil countless bushels each year in this 1 county alone. By tightening up on I our grainerys and old buildings where grain is stored will help a lot. By the way, small grain is heavy when it is poured out loose we are deceived as to the weight we try to put in our old building. I’he sides spread and the bottom drops—additional losses. Insects can be controlled early and inexpensively. By cleaning the bins and spraying with recom mended insecticides —- Malathion gives good control, and applying the premium grade of Malathion directly to the grain at the rate of 60 'pounds of 1% dust for each 1000 bushels as grain is being loaded or turned into final stor age. A spray of 1 pint of premium grade Malathion 57% emulsified liquid in 2-5 gallons of water to each 1000 bushels of the grain. This treatment protects against insects and is long lasting, does not affect germination and does not., affect the milling properties ;when treated with recommended amounts of Malathion. ~ ~ ; ^ Cotton and Soybean Contest The deadline date i$ almost here tto'get signed up in ifetheirxn^ both the 5-Acre Cotton Contest and the 5-Aifcre Soybean Contest.

Now that the Federal Trade Commission is no longer head ed by Earl Kintner who made such splashy headlines unearth ing who gave disc jockeys $10 neckties for Christmas, it would appear the FTC is getting down to serious business. * * * The FTC Is now questioning some 213 department stores across the nation on the a c c e P‘ tance of al lowances of discounts, usually made under the guise of pn motion or ad-1 Tertising al- C . W. Hardsr lowances, from apparel mak ers. Under the law. It Is Illegal te accept any special allow ances net made avaffal^e te all. _ - * • This could be 8M>; of something trig,- wh&h if carried on & the food' field, could point toward . th£ end of the chain system of huge food super markets in favor of re turning a greater share of gro cery volume to independents. SCO At a recent meeting of the Super Market Institute, the di rector of research released some very challenging facts, shewing all Is not well In the so-called “modern method** of food retailing. • os As a matter of fact, he es tablished some points which a special sub committee of the Senate Small Business Com mittee, headed by Sen. Hubert Humphrey had long been try ing to get the FTC to unearth. * * * The report to the Super Mar ket Institute stated flatly that of the super markets opened in Fedgration of Indepfindnt Boptaggi I960, two out of three are doing less volume than anticipated * * * The report further shows that sales per square foot in the average super market have dropped 27% in one year. * * * Yet it seems to be evident that the big super markets must average a 21% mark up on the sales of foods to break even. ♦ * * This, then, explains why so many supers are constantly seeking special deals, display allowances, discounts. ■ * * * Far from being efficient op erations, the super markets are plagued with high priced or ganised help, with big adminis trative overhead loads. * * • The peak hour jam at the checkout counters is becoming more and more an aggravation to consumers especially as they learn they -■ are not saving money. a * • This trend seems nationwide. For example, in California, one major chain which five years ago led the natlea in sales per square foot, last year did $10ft million in 1M stores, showed a profit of only $38 thousand, or less than 2-5ths of 1%. • e e This breakdown of huge super market system over past five years, and rapidly accelerated in 1960, is one of the most en couraging things to happen for the independent retailer. * * * It is qnite apparent if the Federal Trade Commission will quickly and energetically en force the anti trust laws so that there is no favoritism at the wholesale level in the market place, the pendulum will swing back very rapidly in favor of the soundly operated independent retail outlet. This is quite an exciting trend to contemplate. mm m im MU mm Hidil mM ••.w. mm; ■‘■•■yy.-yyy.- mui mi HI ill jiSmSKK S-SsS SSSSSS wmm m ill! * #$5 Wmm mm m mmm Pontiac action! Wide-Track balance!
