The 801 l Weevil
Is No Santa Claus
Damage to N. C* 1949
Cotton Crop Estimated
At About $23,901,000
The National Cotton Council in an
unofficial preliminary estimate pre
dicts that insect damage to the 1949
North Carolina cotton crop will
amount to approximately $23,901,000.
Even in this day when astronomical
figures are commonplace, 23 million
dollars is a lot of money. Divide it
up and take it out of the Christmas
stockings of some 287,000 North Ca
rolina farm families and this disas
trous damage strikes home even
more sharply.
The boll weevil is no Santa Claus.
He and his * cotton consuming com
panions, according to the Cotton
Council estimate, this year took $lB
out of the stocking of every man,
woman and ehild living on a North
Carolina farm.
The Cotton Council, with the goal
of an integrated program of cotton
insect control, is sponsoring the third
annual Cotton Insect Control Con
ference in Birmingham on Decem
ber 19-20. Government and state re
search and educational agencies, the
cotton industry, insecticide and equip
ment manufacturers will meet to .
plan a fight against cotton pests. ‘
Achievement of the conference goal
and reduction of such appalling cot
ton insect losses as were inflicted
this year would mean more dollars in
th-. pockets of North Carolinians. No
effort should be spared to effect these
savings.
Faith is a gift of God which man
can neither give nor take away by
promise of rewards or menaces of
torture. —Thomas Hobbes.
