Lavaca County Farm Bureau seeks pink bollworm zone re designation
A Lavaca County Farm Bureau delegation of about 35 visited Austin to press Texas Agriculture Commissioner John C White for re zoning Lavaca County under the pink boll worm program. They want to align with Fayette Colorado and nearby counties, which would push planting deadlines back and extend plow up by 10 days. Spokesmen were Herman Hanslik and Sen Gus Strauss.
