bogiua Ita ravages, the farmers turn
their attantiun to the Deat way to
"keep the liif??tatlnn to n minimum.
It la believed that a majority "or the
planters have established for them
selves the (act that a low rate of
weevil emergence this spring gives
them a crop chance that was not en_
Joyed last year and have determined
to take advantage of it by poisoning
either with calcium arsenate In dust
for iu or wiUi calcium argeoate-molas.
ses mixture when there are as many
as twenty weevils to the acre.
Some farmers have used poison In
other years but due to the Improper
use or application have not obtained
tlie beet reaOlti; whtle otherr have
never used It and both classes ap
parently are eager to see the films
which demonstrate clearly the correct
way ofUBlng calcium arsenate and
ptress the slogan, " do it right or not
at all."
Virtually the only way to determine
the degree of Infestation In young cot
ton is by thorough examination of
every plant In a given number of rows
In a field. It Is pointed out by experts
that while It Is necessary for the
farmer to get down on his hands and
knees to make a proper examination
of the plants it is not necessary to
examine every plant In every field,
calculating the Infestation on the basis
that the weevils are uniformly distri
buted.
If calcium arsenate dust is not used
at this stage 11 Is recommended thai
an application can be made to the
tops of the plants of a home mixture
containing one pound of calcium arse
nate. one gallon of molasses and one
gallon of water. The mixture should
be applied by sprinkling a few drops
on each plant from a home made mop
within twenty-four hours after mixing
and about one gallon of the mixture
to the acre should be u?ed.
"The cooperative carlot shipment of
poultry from Lenoir county raised the
price of hens from 14 cents per pound
to 20 1-2 cents to the farmers and
pleased everyone ecept a- few huck
sters. County Agent F. W. Risher re
ports that 212 farmers sold over 4000
head of poultry weighing over 18,000
pounds. The smallest check was for
60 cents and the largest was $123. The
farmrs made over $90. The sellin In
this was as contrasted to selling lo
cally at the price offered.

Ills neighborhood have already made
plans tor the community fair this fall.

The excessive rains have undoubtedly washed away a good
part of the fertilizer, particularly those fertilisers high in min
eral ammonia. It might be advisable to make a side applica
tion.
For tobacco and corn it is essential that a fertiliser high tn
organic ammonia be used for good results.
