Boil Weevil Is Active
In Columbus County

Whether or not to poison cot
ton for boil weevils is no longer a
matter for argument. Editor you
do, or else you don't make much
cotton. The toll taken by cotton
insects is tremendous.
Weevil infestation is serious
all over Columbus County. Wee
wills were found working all fields
examined except three. In most
areas cotton is unusually small
for this time of the season. But
even in this scall cotton more
weevils were found than in any
previous year on record. If you
will recall last season was one
of the worst for cotton produc
ton in recent years in this area
due to the high weevil infesta'
tions. At this time last year, out
of IA fields examined in eastern
North Carolina only SO were in
tested. with an average of one
weevil per 100 plants. This year
for the week ending June 9, out
Of IS fields examined, all but
three were infested and the aver
age number of weevils per 100
plants was IL, almost IL times
as many as one year ago. An en-.
ormous number of weevils went
into Information; the survival
rate was high and all are not yet
out of Information, according tn
present indications.
Because of the large number
of weevils now in the fields poi
soning is strongly advised, even
though squares are not yet form
ed. Weevil damage to young
plants, before squares are form
ed, has resulted in killing of
terminal growth. Young squares
have been already damaged in
many fields, causing "bushy"
plants. Heavy weevil infestation
will cause severe damage to
forming squares. 1t will also be
important to keep applications
on regularly throughout the
June-July squaring period. 1t ap'
pears that all growers who plan
to have a successful cotton sea
son must plan now to carry out
a we'll planned insect control pro
gram. busting and spraying has
already begun in many areas.
Recommended insecticides give
effective control when and il
properly applied. Poison dust
maybe applied at anytime, day
or night, when the air is calm
Usually late in the afternoon OF
early in the morning is an ex
cellent time to dust. Dust can be
applied with any type of ground
equipment, such as hand busters
mule drawn cart busters, OF
tractor operated busters.
Cotton should be busted unit
the boil weevil is brought under
control. It usually takes from
three 90 to six (6) dustings.
Start busting when ten to fiji
teen percent of the squares are
punctured. From reports anc

Local Farmers
Having Airplane
Dust Tobacco

Hugh Reynolds Air Plane Dust
ing and Spraying company OF
Cheraw, S. c., has been busy in
this section for the past two
weeks busting tobacco and cot
ton from the air.
Among the local farmers who
have had their crops busted are
Joe Coleman, E. H. Hickman.
!. B. Blanton and Ewell Strick'
land.
Tobacco is being busted to
kill green peach aphids and horn
worms. Cotton is being busted
to kill boil weevil.
This is Nh. Reynolds secono

peen in the busting business TOR
the past seven years. He is
working with the E. w. Fonvielie

New Small Grains
Make Good Yields
u;ro,v satisfactory yields are

Hingly satisfactory yields are
being reported by farmers nav
vesting the new small grain var
ieties recently released by .th'
North Carolina Experiment sta
ton, according to w. E. Colwell
head of the Stations agronomy
department.
Colwell referred particularly to
the new Atlas wheats ana u
Colonial barley, all of which were
released to growers a year ago
OK Middleton and T. T. Hebert:
plant breeders at the STATION
developed and tested the ne"
grains.
Atlas so and Atlas 66 are SIS
Ter strains noted tor their still
straw and resistance to leaf dis
sases. Last year Atlas 80 yielded
an average of 80 bushels pei
acre at nine locations. Redhart
the most widely grown variety
in the State, averaged only Il
bushels per acre in the same
tests.
Colonial barley has consistent
ly outyielded other barley varle
ties, Colwell said. At the Nc
Cullers Branch Station near Raj
eigh it produced 10 bushels per
acre more than Sunrise. Colonial
barley also is noted for its dis
ease resistance.
Colwell also praised the per
Torrance of Arlington oats, q
new variety released recently by
the U. S. Department of igri
culture. In eight variety tests in
1913 and 1949, Arlington yielded
an average of 81 bushels per
acre. It's nearest competitor was
Station variety, which averaged
80 bushels per acre.
Arlington not only yields high
but also has a higher protein
content. 1t averages 1877 per cent
protein, while the next highest
protein.bearing barley is Lee
variety with 10 per cent.
Enough certified seed of tn
new varieties will be available
after harvest to enable more
FARMERS to grow them.

BY Catherine Hubbell. wv. w.
Norton; S3.)

Another first novel, this traces
in swift, acute and enjoyable FASH
ion the unhappy career of an un-
loved child who grows up to be a
rare, direct, muted siren of a
girl" always under the shadow of
"a crisp, cold mother. Frances
falls in love early in life with an
older distant cousin and seeks
many substitutes for this hopeless
passion during a glittering, fash
ionable and bibulous coming out
and marriage. Miss Hubbell knows
about all there is to know about
how a girl like Frances ticks, and
why she drinks. She is equally
knowledgeable about New York
and the sophisticated circles of
the last two decades, and she de-
scribes it in efficient, almost docu-
|mentary style. with an explicitness
of detail and phrase that make
her story as authoritative as it
is lively.
