News of the Week on Chatham County Farms BOLL WEEVIL WARNING Use* I-1 - 1 Mixture For Mop To Kill Weevil In Bud, Follow This With j Applications Os Dust. There is no doubt now that plenty oi boll weevils are here. It seems to be a question now of i either letting the boll weevil eat ! up our crop, or of making a good • crop of cotton with intelligent con-: trol measures. What is this control j measure?— • * First, mop the buds in your cot ton now. Upon examination of your cotton that has not squared, you will find weevils in the bud. Make up a mixture of one, pound of Calcium Arsenate, one gallon of cheap mollases and one gallon of water. Apply this with a mop to the buds. This will kill the crop of weevils now present. However, do not stop at this point. Either continue the mopping or dusting throughout the season for boll weevil control. This is our only hope for a cotton crop, and if this poisoning is done intelligently, we may rest assured that we will have a crop of cotton; otherwise, turn your crop over to the boll weevil. It is hoped that we will hold our largest and best calf club show in the county in the late summer or early fall. There should be twice. as many entries this year and the boys will know more about caring for and fitting their calves for show. We hope to have a 100 per cent participation in this 'show. Quite a few calf club members have an nounced that they expect to show calves at this show. * * * SOME JUNE DAIRY HINTS For proper growth, give weaned heifers under 12 to 14 months old two opunds of grain per day in addition to pasture. Destroy breeding places for flies and use the Formaldehyde poison formula. Mow pastures if they get rank and weed growth heavy. See that cows get plenty of clean, fresh drinking water, but plenty of shade for the bull. * * * “FARM PHILOSOPHY” Does it pay not to poison the boll weevil? Those who let the boll weevil eat up their crop last year ; may answer. Small feed bills usually mean small profits from livestock and vice versa. Vegetables, fruits and milk are less expensive to produce than doctors i bills to pay. I Shakespear on weeds; —“Suffer ■ them now* and they’ll o’ergrow the garden and choke the herbs for | want of husbandry.” * Joyful June days 'make us note gladly with Lowell, “How t the sap creeps up and the blossoms swell.” 1 v It is reported that Mr. N. J. Dark and Richard Webster of Siler City who are cooperating with the County Agent in a corn project have a “powerful” crop of corn on their eight acres in the contest. This corn was planted in late March. * * * A number of farmers are report ing larger yields of soy . beans following soy beans cut for hay. It is not reasonable to presume that soy beans when cut for hay would leave more fertility in the soil than there was previously. Never theless the County Agent has seen i a number of instances in this county where succeeding crops'of soy bean hay were larger than the original crop. * * * Mr. W. E. Griffin of Moncure, N. C. RFD 2 has one of the best fields of corn that we have yet seen. This corn is waist high, re markably uniform, and has a good color. We visited this field the other day while Mr. Griffin was sidedressirg it with Sulphate of Ammonia. * * * Now is a good time to remind farmers that side dressing corn with •some form of quickly available nitrogen. (Nitrate of Soda, Sul phate of Ammonia etc.) will pay big. Do not wait until the corn is waist high before applying this sidedressing. Apply ’it at the rate of 100 pounds per acre when crop is from knee to thigh high and watch your corn grow. Apparently, there has never been as much side dressing used in the county as is being used this year, as practically all farmers we have talked to are using it. *• * * Mr. W. D. Burns of Moncure RFD 2 is not planting a large acerage in cotton, but what cotton he has looks as good as any we have seen, This cotton is well up and most of it is squaring. Incid entally, while examining this cotton the other clay, we found seven grown weevils in the buds and squares in the space of a few min ntes. Mr. Burns will mop this cot ton with the I-I-I mixture in order to kill the weevils in the buds, then he expects to follow this mopping with a dust in a very few days. It has been very distressing to note the amount of sickly and dead cotton in the county during the past few days. We saw one field on which the cotton on practically half of it was dead, while the remainder looked very unhealthy. Numbers of other fields of cotton in the county are also dying. There seems to be an idea prevalent in the county that the boll weevil and other in sects are killing this cotton,,we are of the opinion however, that the unhealthy condition of " cotton is caused by the continued cool weather in May and the recent rains. With a week of hot, dry weather, cotton will look a lot better. * * * However, the poor cotton crop in Chatham is offset by the won derful corn crop in the county this fall. Most corn was planted early this year and rains while injur ing cotton have been a great help to corn. Corn this year is fully three weeks ahead of last year’s crop. FARM TOUR We have been going ahead with plans for the proposed Chatham County Farm tour to be held in August. Bids from Commercial Bus Companies are being received find plans for the routing of this trip are also being made. It is expected that a meeting of farmers will be held in the near future to complete I arrangements for this tour. $ JUNIOR CLUB NEWS i Activities Os The 4-H Club Mem > bers Os Chatham. 1 Chatham Club members will be interested to learn that another club camp is being planned for this summer.
