SECTION ONE—I
Overman Reports
On Cotton Situation
Over 90% Squared Punc
tured In Undusted
Fields
“Cotton, in most fields examined
Monday, is about through squaring,”
says County Agent C. W. Overman.
“The boll weevils are still working
with all their might and naturally the
fewer squares there are the larger
percentage of the squares one boll
weevil can get to, if he can find them.
In each of the three undusted fields
examined over 90 per cent of the
squares were punctured and the boll
weevil is beginning to work diligent
ly. In the nine dusted fields examin
ed were found from 3 per cent to 36
per cent averaging 20 per cent of the
squares punctured. This may seem
like a high percentage of punctured
squares in dusted cotton but remem
ber that this late in the season weev
ils have built up to a heavy popula
tion in undusted fields and can mi
grate quite a distance.
“801 l Worms—Some boll worms
were found in most of the fields. This
infestation is light at the present
time but can grow worse if it isn’t
controlled.
“Red Spider—Red Spider was found
in more fields and in some fields was
beginning to do considerable damage.
One field was observed in which at
least 75 per cent of the leaves had
shed and I heard of another field that
was worse. This insect can be con
trolled by dusting with 15 pounds of
1 per cent Parathion per acre or 20
pounds of dusting sulphur per acre.
Two or three applications at 5 to 7
day intervals may be needed.
“What To Do Now—Examine your
field closely for red spider, look un
derneath the leaves very closely be
cause they are very, very small. If
you have them dust with sulphur con
taining 5 to 10 per cent DDT. This
mixture will control the red spider and
also the boll worm. If you do not
have red spider then I would dust with
the 2% per cent Aldrin in 5 per cent
DDT dust at the rate of 15 pounds
per acre sometime next week or cer
tainly the first of the following week.
801 l worms will damage young bolls
until they are half grown, but as long
as there are squares for them to feed 1
on they will prefer the squares. The ■
boll weevil will work on the bolls at
any time, but usually a clean up dust
ing the first or second week in Aug
ust will do a pretty good job. Fif

together that agricultural agents can *
reach far more people. The people in 1

We might be celebrating aviation's 450th birthday this year—
instead of its 50th—if Leonardo Da Vinci had possessed « gasoline

Da Vinci, an equally famous Italian, was designing Airplanes and
even helicopters that could have flown if motive power and liquid
fuels had been available. «
Man could not win his wings
until those fuels, together with

at hand. After studying Da Vinci’s
drawings, they designed and built
a rickety biplane in their bicycle
shop. After studving the equally
rickety automobiles that occa
sionally stopped at their shop for
repairs, they designed and built
a lightweight 4-cylinder, 12-horse
power motor.
They took the contraption to
Kill Devil Hill at Kitty Hawk,
N. C., for testing. They filled its
tank with the uncertain mixture
