CHAPTER VI.iI

It was merry cavalcade that
swung around the great oaks that
spring morning in 1774. Two coaches
with outriders and positions led the
way with their precious freight-the
elder ladies' in the first coach, and
the second blossoming with fiowerlike
faces and starred with dancing eyes.
Booted and spurred, the gentlemen
rode behind, and after them rolled
the baggage wagons, drawn by mules
In 1inEiing harness. Harry on q
chestnut sorrel and the young Ken
tuckian on a housekeeping gray fol-
lowed the second coach-Hugh on
Firefy champed the length Of the
column. Colonel Dale and Dave
brought up the rear. The road was
OF sand and there was little sound of
hoof or wheel-only the hum of
voices, occasional sallles when
neighbor Joined them, and laughter
from the second coach as happy and
care-free as the singing Of birds from
trees by the roadside.
The capital had been moved from
jamestown to the spot where Bacon
had taken the oath against England
then called Middle-PlantatiOn, and
now Williamsburg. The cavalcade
wheeled into Gloucester street, and
Colonel Dale pointed out to Dave the
old capitol at one end and William
and Mary college at the other. Mr..
Henry had thundered In the old cap

CONTINUE THE WEEVIL FIGHT

as migration has not set in, con

Entomologist, as the weekly confer

ton.
Infestation has generally increased
throughout the state during the past
week, according to reports from the
field men and county agents, but
there is still great irregularity in
weevil occurrence, square infesta,
ton varying from very low per cent
to 60 or 70 per cent, and in some Sec
tions 80 per cent. or over. When mi.
grafton sets IN, there will be greater
regularity of infestation.
With the migration period about
upon us, we must realize that we have
about reached the last stage of bat
tie, and wherever the proper dust and
machinery are available we urge its
intelligent use in order to hold infes-
tation down as much as possible.
Many people are still being misled
by the irregularity of infestation
Some fields or parts of fields are light
ly infested while others may be very
heavily infested. If therefore certain
operations are carried on on lightly
infested fields, credit will be given to
these operations for keeping infesta-
ton down, whereas the fact is that
the weevil was never there from the
beginning. Unless the various factors
that determine production are care
fully guarded, the results reported as
having been obtained by one or more
of the various operations have nc
value whatever.
Correct Dust Cloud' Important
Farmers using approved dusting
machines are advised not to depend
on the feed regulator for the amount
of poison per acre. The mechanical
regulators are intended to control the
amount of feed but this must be de-
termined by the dust cloud. An OBJ
serving farmer will soon learn to rec
ogniZe a dust cloud of about seven
pounds per acre. Whenever the cloud
is too thin or too thick then the regu-
lator is resorted to for adjustment
but the notches under the regulator
lever should not be depended on fol
correct dust cloud.
A seven-pound cloud gives the cot
ton slightly grayish appearance, and
to obtain this the machine should be
operated with the greatest uniformity
possible in order to keep the fan run
ming at uniform speed. If field is
blotched with white spots after dust
ing, either it is overdusted, the ma
chine poorly managed or the ground
very rough or rocky.
Do not allow any part Of the dust
ing machine to squeak. 1t affects the
output. Oil and grease should not be
spared when needed. Keep the ma
chine in a dry place when not in use
