Travelling with the
County Agents
By Ray Stack and Dean Davidson

Some concern is being express
ed over the prevalence of the
small green English Grain Apbid
in many grain fields. The cool
humid weather that we have been
experiencing in this area is ideal
for all insects to multiply rapidly
and this is especially true for
various kinds of aphids.
EntOmologists from both the
State Colleges of North Dakota
and Montana feel that it might
pay to employ control measures
If there is from IS to 20 aphid
average on each plant in the field.
English Grain Aphids are a suck
ing insect which feed on both
the leaves and heads. A sever
infestation will cause shriveling
of the kernels.
English grain aphids can be sue
.cessfully controlled by aerial
spraying. If weather conditions
continue to favor the multiplica-
ton of this insect it certainly
warrant control on certain
fields. We urge close inspection
of all fields.

fective. Actually, they were prob
ably expecting results too soon.
To be most effective on all peren-
mails, cultivation may be neees-
sary for two or three years. In
the control of perennials by Gull
tivation there are several impor-
tant steps that must be followed.
First, the operations must be
properly timed. Each cultivation
must be made within 8 to IA
days after the emergence of new
growth since delaying any longer
will permit the root reserves to
build up. Ordinarily when grow
ing conditions are good, a 21-day
cultivation schedule should be
maintained throughout the season..
Then, too, are all the shoots
being cut off with each cultiva-
ton? This requires keeping blades
or shovels sharp and overlap
ping of the blades or sweeps so
that no shoots are missed.
Another important point is the
operating depth. 1t is not neces-
sary or desirable to make a deep
cultivation - three or four inches
is enough.
And lastly, shovels mounted on
shanks are better than
Spring-mounted shoveIs. Of course
if the ground is rocky it will be
necessary to use the spring.
mounted type.
Perennial weed control by Gull
tivation can be effective if these
are kept in mind and if the
operations are carried on over a
of two or three years. In
fact this may be the only prac-
.ical means of controlling large
nfestations of perennials such as
Canada Thistle, Bindweed, Rus
ian Knapweed, Leafy Spurge
md others.

NATIONAL FARM SAFETY
WEEK SOON HERE

Farm and ranch people in Rich
land county should plan to ac-
lively participate in National
Farm Safety Week, July "a to
30. Attention is called to the
statement of Secretary of AgricuI-
ture Benson that, EARNS and
homes are as safe - and only as
safe II as farmers and their fami-
lies make them"
Farm safety week is again be-
ing sponsored jointly by the Ma
tional Safety Council and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
and has the active backing of all
farm organizations and farm lead
ers.
This years farm safety week
theme, "Your Safety is in Your
Hands," emphasizes the fact that
the individual is responsible for
preventing farm accidents. Ma
tlonal Safety Council surveys in
farm areas show that about three
out of every four accidents to
farm people are the result of one
more unsafe acts. Regardless
OF national and group activities
the ultimate responsibility for
each farm PERSONS safety is him
self.
While the purpose of National
Safety Week is to focus
nationwide attention on the seri-
BUSINESS of farm accidents which
some $4,000 lives annually.
It is also intended to inspire rural
people to follow safety practices
every week of the year.

West towards Lincolnton in his
truck on highway $50 yesterday
afternoon. On the steep hill near
the S. L. Shuford store, he sud-
denly heard sharp, kissing
noise and thought it was tire
trouble. He felt no pain at the
time. He drove a short distance
further up the hill and then no
ticed his left shoulder wa

him it was a bullet hole. He
came on to the CrOwell hospital,
where DR.. Sam Wilson, the at
tending physician, removed a 22
calibre bullet from the shoulder.

gated the incident but report no
