Cotton and Peanut Planting On Time
Garry Peebles reports from Brownfield News on Terry County crop progress. Cotton planting is in full swing with irrigated fields 60 percent done, while dryland cotton begins next week in parts. Peanuts, especially Virginias and Runner varieties, are 80 to 90 percent finished with Spanish peanuts still to plant. Chilling injury from a recent cold spell caused seedling disease in some pre May 1 plantings, possibly requiring some replanting as warmer weather helps growth.

It's My Party as Bad Song Sparks Debate Online
Lynn Brisendine reflects on pop music lists and personal taste. He recalls 1963 64 summer work at a fruit stand and a single record repeated by a co worker It's My Party. He compares top lists from BBC VH1 Time and entertainment sources, noting Starship We Built This City and other picks as weak or overhyped while urging readers to make their own lists.
