COWTOWN - The 22 year
old Cowtown Rodeo saw one
of its finest nights ever in the
Bull Riding "events last
Saturday evening as some
outstanding marks were
recorded among the tough
cowboys.
What looked to be an un
beatable score of 80 points
for Woodstown’s Kaye Kirby
riding the bulls, just wasn’t
enough to impress T.J.
Hawkins of Reedsville, W.
Va. Hawkins came out of the
gate and took a bumpy ride
for the required eight
s seconds and received a high
marking of 85 to put him on
top. First place prize money
was $284.20.
Bull riding is considered to
be the most dangerous event
on the American sporting
scene today and that was
clearly evident to everyone
in attendance Saturday. A
couple of cowboys were
stomped by the wild bulls

The first event of the
evening, Bareback Bronc
Riding, saw four local boys
take the top spots. Kirby,
Andy Harris, and Jimmie
Lee Walker, all from the
Woodstown area, along with
Hartley Morris Jr. of
Deepwater, finished up in
that order.
Grant Harris placed ahead
of Kirby in the Saddle Bronc
Riding as he checked in with
a mark of 69. Kirby finished
with a 68 while R.L. Tolbert
was third at 64. First place
money totaled $111.72.

and then drive slow enough
to give a chance
to do the job for which it is
designed.
To Soil Test
For August Seedings
Summer seedings of
alfalfa are only four to six
weeks away; this means that
the ground should be well
prepared and treated for
lime and fertilizer according
to a complete soil test. If
lime is needed, it should be
worked into the soil before
the alfalfa seeding is made;
the practice of top-dressing
the field next winter or
spring with lime is to be
discouraged; it should be
incorporated into the soil
prior to the seeding. A
complete soil test should
reflect the actual needs of
the soil for alfalfa; many
times money can be saved on
one or more of the fertilizer
elements, if the soil is
already sufficient in that
part of the fertilizer needs.
To Secure Farm
Pond Permit
Many pond owners
throughout the area are
bothered with algae or weeds
in their ponds. This material
interfers with swimming,
fishing, and all types of
summer sports. One of the
best ways to control the
problem is to treat with an
acquatic weed killer; there
are several materials that
may be used depending upon
the type of weed. However,
before any chemical or
herbicide is added to the
pond water, a permit should
be secured from the Penn
sylvania Fish Commission;
the application for this
permit is available through
the local Fish Warden
(Water Patrolman) or here
at our Penn State Extension
Office. We urge pond owners
to secure the permit before
treating because it is
unlawful to treat a pond
without it.
To Remove
Cherry Trees
Producers with livestock
on pasture should be con
cerned about the presence of
wild cherry trees in the area.
The fresh cherry leaves are
not poisonous but wilting or
The purse for the per
formance totaled $3410.80
and the weather was perfect.
wilted wild cherry leaves are
toxic to most farm animals
and will kill them. After wind
storms, producers should
check the pasture or woodlot
area and remove any limbs
or trees that have blown
down. Animals crave these
leaves and will eat them in
preference to good pasture.
Some producers have cut
down all of the wild cherry
trees in the grazing area to
avoid any poison possibility.
To Control
Aphids
Continued dry weather is
bringing out all kinds of
aphids on many different
types of plants and crops.
These sap-sucking insects
may be found on alfalfa,
flowers, shrubbery, and
especially on maple trees.
Spraying with Diazinon,
Cygon, or Malathion will kill
the aphids that are currently
feeding. Some property
owners paint a band of
Cygon (diluted with water)
around the trunk of the tree
earlier in the spring; this is
absorbed into the tree and
helps reduce the insect
problem for the season. The
band should be painted at
least five to eight feet above
the ground to keep away
from children and pets. If
dry weather continues,
additional sprays may be
needed to control the aphids.
To Shear
Pine Trees
Christmas tree growers
will be busy on the next
month shearing and shaping
the trees; in this part of the
state we do not have many
Christmas tree growers, but
we do have many property
owners with pine trees. U
these are to be pruned or
shaped, the month of June
and July is the time to do the
work; some folks may want
to cut them back to control
their size. Spruce and fir
trees are not to be~pnined
until the period from
September through March.
The appearance of
evergreen trees can be
improved through proper
shearing as mentioned
above. Don’t start shearing
until the tree is at least three
feet high, because they may
become too short and
squatty.
