Big Boil Veevil
Count Reported
By State College

State College-A very heavy boil
weevil infestation exists in near
ly all Mississippi, except some
Delta counties and the extreme
northern part, according to the
State Plant Board. Clay Lyle, en-
tomologist of the Board. states that
great loss from cotton insects is
almost certain to occur unless eX-
tremely hot. dry weather prevails
for the next two months.
During the past week Plant Board
inspectors and Federal entomologists
made examinations on 1874 farms
in 81 counties, finding weevils on
78 farms with an average of 1855
per acre on the infested farms
which compares with 159 per acre
last week and 161 per acre on this
date last year. The average on all
farms examined was 81 per acre.
Heaviest infestations reported
were in Pearl River county with
100 and 700 per acre, Holmes with
700, and Kinds and Grenada each
with farm having 600 per acre.
: Cotton in general is small, grassy
and lousy. Of the 1914 farms ex-
amined only one had squares large
enough to be infested, which is
about the same condition existing
at this time last year.
DR.. Lyle urges every farmer who
expects to poison this year to be-
gin making preparations at once to
secure the necessary insecticides
and busting equipment. Actual poi
soning, however, should be delayed
until cotton is fruiting heavily and
at least IS percent of the squares
are punctured, which will probably
be after the first week in July in
most cases.
For information about controlling
cotton insects write the State Plant
Board at State College.

Ben Hogan FortWorth Open Choice
By WILLARD c. HAsELBUSH

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 2-CUP)- Little Ben Hogan, the MT. Big of 1946 golf in both the gold-getting and score making departments, ranked as top favorite today to win the $10,000 Forth Worth Open starting Thursday over the sleek Glen Garden course
 Hogan predicted well tear this course apart" as he teed off for a practice round in the city where he began his golfng career carrying clubs for the Sunday dubs.
 He meant that he plans to come in next Sunday, at the end of 72 holes, with sub-par total to keep intact his title of flow scorer of 1941."
 The Professional Golfers Associa- ton announced Hogan's 18-hole average for 92 tournament rounds this year is 699 strokes. In second place was Byron Nelson-coming out of semi-retirement Thursday to play in the Fort Worth tourney with an average of 70.1 in 62 rounds. Lloyd Mangrum was third with 7O5, followed by Jimmy Demaret, TOT; Herman Barron, T; Sam Snead, ', and Vic Ghezzi, TIP.
 Earns $37,877
 Hogan won the $10,000 Dallas Open last Sunday with a four-over- par 284 for 72 holes over the man. killing Brook Hollow Country Club course. He told newsnen today he is confident the field of top golfers will tear par to shredS in this weeks tourney.
 Par at Glen Garden is 72, but the greens are easier and the fair ways are wider than at Brook Hol- low, Hogan said.
 Hogans victory in the Dallas tourney brought his golf earnings for the year to $37,877, tops among the touring professionals.
 Byron Nelson, who has been rest ing on his Texas farm after drop ping from tourney play because of trouble with his wrists and back, looked fit as he tourned Glen Gar den in easy practice rounds. For Nelson, last years top money win ner, 1t was a homecoming. AS a boy, he caddied on the course.
 The nations top golfers were out en masse for the Fort Worth classic Among them were Herman Keiser and Paul Runyan, who tied for second place at $7OO each in prize money at Dallas last weekend
 Play begins at Glen Garden Thursday with Is holes scheduled daily through Sunday.
 The top pros, playing two and three balls each today to test their shots. said four -under-par 284 wouldn't be good enough to win the meet.
