to control blue mold yielded eight
times as many plants and enabled
farmers to pull plants an average

announced today. He based h S
statement on a summary of six
blue, mold control demonstrations
conducted by farmers of the coun-
ty this wear.
Hendrix said that the average
cost of treating 100 yards of plant

The summary showed that these
farmers averaged pulling their
first plants from treated beds on
May 2, whereas the first pulling
from untreated beds was on May

The total acreage set from 1920
yards of treated beds was 1875
acres; from 1850 acres of untreat-
ed beds, 20.6 acres.
The cost of the treatment was
figured on the basis of 10 cents
per pound for observation-disclosures

RALEIGH, June 9.-An expert
ment to determine the best method

with a car of potatoes shipped
with standard ventilation.
This is a follow up Of our

previously included a special edu-
cational Irish Potato Train and a
recent tour of the Irish potato re-
gion," Prof. Gardner stated. Eve
have had the cooperation of E. j.

work with N. N. Weatherhead of
the Fruit Growers Express in
checking the potatoes en- route and

Five cars will be shipped in the
experiment, and each will be
equipped with an automatic re-
cording thermometer to record the
temperatures en- route.
One a will be equipped with
standard ventilation. One will be
iced with $500 pounds of ice prior
to loading; another will receive
$500 pounds of ice en- route; and
two others will receive a pre-load-
ing icing of 1890 pounds, the up

iced. Each a will be loaded with

TOBACCO INSECT
WARNING ISSUED
~Entomologist Rowell Urges
Farmers To Use Adequate
Control Methods

RALEIGH, June 81. o. Rowell,
enthomologist of the N. c. State
College Extension Service, warn
ed farmers today to use adequate
control measures in protecting this
years tobacco crop against hordes
of insect enemies.
One of the most persistent at.
tackers of the crop, the flea beetle,
may be controlled with a mixture
of paris green and arsenate OF
lead. One pound of paris green to
five pounds of arsenate of lead is
the recommended proportion.
For small or newly-set plants,
three pounds of this mixture will
treat an acre. For half-grown or
larger plants, four to six pounds
will be necessary. Due to the dense
growth of tobacco and the neces-
sity of applying the poison to the
under side of the leaf, the mixture
is most effective when busted.
This will control horn worms also.
Another common enemy Of the
tobacco crop is the bud worm. The
best known control, Rowell said,
is poisoned corr meal bait. For
large amounts, one pound of ar
senate of lead should be mixed
with so pounds of corn meal. For
smaller amounts, six heaping ia
blespoonfuls of the poison to one
peck of meal is recommended.
Applications, which should be
made only in the morning when
the tobacco buds are open, are
made every week until the tobac-
CO is topped. One peck or II
pounds of the poisoned bait is suf-
ficient for one application per
acre. A small pinch of the bait
is dropped in each bud.
For cut worms, the following
bait has given good results: wheat
bran, so pounds; paris green, one
pound; and enough water to moist
en- the mixture. Calcium and lead
arsenate fail to give good results
in controlling cut worms a n {
should not be used. The bait should
be broadcast in the fields in the
late afternoon at the rate of Is to
20 pounds to the acre. Chickens
should be kept out of poisoned
fields.

POTATO DISEASES
ARE AT MINIMUM
Use Of Certified Seed Stock
Credited With Decrease
In Plant Ills

RALEIGH, June 9-Diseases are
at a minimum in North Carolina
Irish potato fields this year, How
ard R. Garriss, Extension plant
pathologist of N. c. State College,
reported today upon return from a
trip through the principal potato
growing counties of the east. He
noted a wide usage of certified
seed stock, which he credited with
the decrease in disease.
Virus diseases, such as mosaic,
leaf roll, and rugose are not SER
ious this year." Garriss declared.
Zone field was found where an
estimated 10 percent of leaf roll
infected plants was present, and
in only a few fields was serious
infection of black leg present."
Continuing, the Extension spec
ialist said: 1T may be of interest
to growers that a very limited
amount of virus disease on pota-
toes planted from seed secured in
the United States was observed.
On the other hand, disease was
prevalent in numerous fields plant
ed with seed potatoes from Canada
and other points outside the United
States"
Garriss said that the use of cert
flied seed apparently has prevents
ed an outbreak of the new Irish
potato disease, bacterial ring rot.
This disease, which has virtually
destroyed the crop in several
States, comes in on the seed and
does not live over in the soil.
However, the State College man
said that some growers are con-
fusing Southern bacterial wilt with
the new disease. "They are very
similar and positive Identification
of the particular wilt disease can
be made only after a laboratory
test. The southern bacterial wilt is
caused by the same germ which
causes Granville wilt of tobacco,
and it lives in the soil. Several of
our counties have this soil infesta-
ton, and growers should not con-
denim their seed without positive
Identification of the disease" Gar
riss concluded. 4

WAR AGAINST BOIL
WEEVILS PLANNED
Rowell Says Cotton Insects
Will Meet Unexpected Re-
sistance In N. C.
BY GENE
Assistant Extension Editor,
n G. State Cn11e1e

, RALEIGH, June 9-R- Boil
weevils, now marshaling their
numbers for a swift attack on this
years cotton crop, will meet un-
expected resistance in all parts Of
North Carolina, ]. O. Rowell, m
tomologist of the N. c. state col
lege extension service, said today.
Already plagued with a late crop
and in some cases poor stands,
growers have set out systematic
cally to save and harvest as much
of their crop as possible. One of
the first considerations in this pro-
gram has been bool weevil control.
Farm agents of the extension
service in a large number of coun-
ties have already reported orders
for thousands of gallons Of molass-
es and equal amounts of calcium
arsenate to be used in the fight
against this traditional enemy of
the cotton farmer.
This first step in a well-organ-
lied poisoning campaign k e s
place even before squares are
formed on the plants. In the past,
growers have found a mixture of
cheap molasses, calcium arsenate,
and water to be highly effective
in controlling the weevils before
they have a chance to multiply.
Known as the "mopping" meth
cd, the mixture is smeared on the
young plants with a homemade
mop. One gallon Of molasses, one
pound Of calcium arsenate, and
one gallon of water thoroughly
mixed together form a solution
sufficient to cover one acre of cot
ton one time.
Where overwintered weevils are
numerous on the plants, from one
to three pre-square poison applica-
6ions should be made at five to
seven day intervals. The treat
nlent should be started just as the
squares begin to form, and before
the squares r large enough for
the weevils to puncture. This is
usually when the plants r. ap-
proximately five to six inches tall.
Rowell warned that p%re-square
treatment. while highly beneficial
in a good control program, should
not be depended upon alone to
combat the weevils. After the ear
ly poisoning period has passed and
if conditions warrant, busting with
calcium arsenate is recommend
ed.
This post-square poisoning oper-
alton should be begun when 10 per
cent of the developing squares
show boil weevil egg punctures.
The percent damage is determined
by counting 100 squares at each
of several points in the field, al
ways the four corners and the cen
ter.
If as many as 10 squares in the
100 examined show punctures, then
busting should be started immedi-
ately, Rowell said. From four to
six pounds of undiluted calcium
arsenate dust or from six to eight
of a thoroughly mixed cal
cium arsenate = hydrated Ii m e
'fhalf-and-haH' dust to the acre
should be used.
Applications of either dust should
be made every four to five days
until the number of weevil-punc-
tured squares is reduced to below
10 per cent. II
