Coach Fred Herren reports that there have been a few bruises, but there seem to be no ser ious injuries. Included on the injured list was sophomore fullback J i m Fulton who has been sidelined from practice because of a bad elbow. He is expected to return to the practice field shortly. Among those turning in good performances last week was Johnny Harbin, who has been running and throwing well. Also Howdy Hayes, Johnny Dawkins, Roger Hazel and Martie Pear son have been doing a good job at the end positions. Outstanding on defense last week for the Indians were Bob Hammersla, Dennis Swygert, Saylor Fox and Tommy Wat son.

Financial aid given by TEC As far as it is known, no student has ever been turned away from Richland TEC be cause of his personal financial limitations, R. L. Grigsby, Jr., director of the Midlands’ tech nical education center said in announcing the financial aid programs for the 1969-70 school year. He pointed out that as an ac credited special purpose insti tution offering college-level in struction, Richland TEC is eli gible for federal funds to be used for loans, grants, and stu dent employment for those en rolled in Associate Degree pro grams. In addition to this, because of the variety of programs offered at Richland TEC, the institution is able to recommend that some applicants enroll in one of many short-term courses which will prepare them for high salaried employment in one of the new industries now developing in the area served by TEC. Tui tion and fees for these courses are paid for by the state. “In many cases, because of family or other financial res SOYBEAN INSECTS HERE In soybean fields throughout most of the county insect dam age has been reported. The amount of damage differs be tween fields and we would not call it an epidemic or disastrous yet. We would remind all pro ducers to check their fields every few days as an insect build-up could be serious. The insect we are most concerned with at this time is the corn ear worm. It is a caterpillar- type worm and can vary in color from green to a 1 m o s t black. When mature, it can be one and one-half inches in length. When disturbed or knocked to the ground, it will curl up in a ball. We might also mention the velvet bean caterpillar at this time as they are also present. They are greenish in color and generally striped. They may reach two inches in length when mature. When they are disturb ed they are very active. The important question is when to treat a field for con trol of these insects? Soybean plants can withstand as much as 35 percent foliage loss thru’ the blooming period. After blooming, when the pods begin to form and fill out, any fol iage loss over 20 percent will decrease yield. After the beans are mature, a 35 percent defol iation loss will not usually be the cause of a reduction in yield. If the insects are feeding on the pods, three per foot of row for corn ear worm and one per foot of row in the case of stinkbug, it is time that con trol measures should be taken. There are a number of insect icides one may use if he will follow the precautions. Sevin effectively controls the Mexican bean beetle, the bean beetle, velvetbean caterpillar, com ear worm, green cloverworm,army worm, leaf beetle, cucumber and blister beetle if used at the rate of one and one-half pounds technical per acre. It can also be used up to the day of harvest at the above rate of application.
