PAGE TWO Decline tn Cotton Crop Is Forecast September 1 Estimate Places Crop at 510- 000 Bales As of September 1 the 1962 Tar Heel cotton crop was placed at 510,- 000 bales. This is tip same as the forecast on August i and compares with 642,000 bales harvested in 1961 and the 10-year (1941-60) crop of 623,000 bales, according to the State- Federal Crop Reporting Service. Acreage for harvest is now esti mated at 693,000 acres—3,ooo acres more than was harvested in 1951 and 13,000 above the acreage in 1960. The 10-year average acreage harvested is 739,000 acres. Abandonment since July 1 is estimated at 1.0 per cent— slightly less than average. Lint yield per acre is now placed at 363 pounds, compared with 376 pounds in 1951; 149 pounds in 1960; and the average of 341 pounds. Rains during August revived plant growth but added very little prospec tive production. The added foliage, if cotton is not declined, could result in rather heavy losses from boll rot. August weather prevented effective poisoning and on September 1 boll weevils were present in large numbers in all sections of the State and boll worms are becoming active in many counties. 801 l worm infestation was mostly light as of September 1. Pick ing got under way in southern coun ties the last week of August Heavy ' rains and strong winds have knock ed some cotton down, especially in southern Piedmont areas, increasing the danger of loss from boll rot For the nation as a whole, a pro duction of 13,889,000 bales is indi cated based upon September 1 condi tions. This estimate is based upon an indicated yield per acre of 270.0 pounds from 24,693,000 acres for har vest. Approximately 1,413,000 bales of the 1952 crop had been ginned to September 1. Last year the United States pro duced 15,144,000 bales of cotton from 26,687,000 acres, averaging 271.9 pounds of lint to the acre. The ten year (1941-50) average yield is 267.6 pounds and 11,775,000 bales produc tion. Use Your Head! The judge had given his decision on a case and the attorney for the plaintiff rose and questioned it. . “I cannot allow you to reopen this case after I have given my decision,” said the judge. “Then I may as well sit down, Your Honor,” replied the lawyer. “There’s no use in» knocking my head against " a stone wall,” “I know there’s no use in knocking your head against a stone wall,” said | the judge. “But I don’t know any other person who could perform the : operation with less personal injury than yourself.” In vain sedate reflections we would make.

Answer: Timbers used for con struction purposes can be protected from termite attack by impregnating them with an approved chemical wood preservative, according to State Col lege entomologists. Considerable protection can be had by dipping the wood in a 5 per cent solution of pentachloraphenol in a light petroleum oil for three minutes, the U. S. Department of Agriculture points out. Another, although less reliable, method consists of brushing the surface of wood with this solution, using three coats. Several coats of heavy paint applied to exterior woodwork will give some protection. All cracks, crevices and, joints between lumbers should be fill ed with putty or plasftic wood prior to painting tp keep termites' out. Termites already in the wood can be killed, if the wood is movable, by placing in a chamber heated to 150 degrees for 90 minutes or 140 degrees for four hours, or a chamber at 15 degrees for four days. Insecticides such as trichlorobenzene, which is volatile and kills termites as it va porizes, are also effective. Fumigation is effective, but since the gases used are deadly, the work 1 should be conducted only by a licensed THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 1952. operator.
