THE CHOWAN HERALD Erodketioi Os 801 l Weevil Neves Ahead RALEIGH - Hie trial boll weevil eradication program in North Carolina and Virginia is now slated to be initiated in the fall of 1977, with tee full cost sharing by producers beginning with the 1978 growing season. North Carolina cotton producers voted approval of tee eradication program, to commence either in the growing season of 1977 or 1978, in a referendum held in December of last year. The decision to initiate tee cost-sharing portion of tee program in 1978 was an nounced by N.C. Com missioner of Agriculture James A. Graham following consultation with state and national leaders in the cotton industry and the eradication effort. In notifying the U.S. Department of Agriculture of the decision Graham said, ‘Successful eradication of the boll weevil can best be assured by preceding tee required program with voluntary control measures on the part of cotton growers. We will encourage all growers to continue good insect control practices and to participate in a diapause program (late season control program) during tee fall of 1977.” Graham also noted several recent develop ments teat would make the later date more desirable. “It is anticipated that the pesticide Dimilin, which has proven highly effective against the boll weevil, will be approved by the En vironmental Protection Agency for use next year,” Graham said. “Several other pesticides benficial in the control of the boll worm will be registered in 1978 that will not be available this year.” Graham added teat tee extra time would allow researchers to further refine the procedure of rearing sterile boll weevils for release. Marshall Grant, a vice president of the N.C. Farm Bureau and co-chairman of the N.C. 801 l Weevil Eradication Committee, voiced agreement with the revised scheduling: “So much is at stake for tee cotton grower, the state, and the nation that we want to make sure tee eradication program is begun at a time most conducive to success.” or »1.7 S on «>Ch i~ to toit your t*ste and • WE DO OUR OWN FINANCING „ SBSL*K ,u “ l * t ,u %i l !L„ Report From Rep.

N. on Thursday; March 17 was quite pleased to announce that he would sign this bill qn Friday, tee 18th. Another topic of much controversy here in the Capitol City was big government once again playing lag brother to the American consumers by suggesting a ban on the use of sacchrine, the artificial sweetener, which has been in use for so many years and serves so many useful purposes. Several of us are joining together to try to rush through legislation to prohibit this ill-advised action on the part of the Food and Drug Ad ministration. I am sure most of you know that this decision was based on research conducted in Canada, and that for the human body to suffer similar effects one would have to consume the equivalent of 800 - 6 oz. bottles per day of beverages containing sacchrine. While this was going on in this country, tee Germans an nounced that they would not be influenced by the Canadian research and dismissed it as being totally inconclusive and unac ceptable.
