A WBkosboro Coca-Cola Bottling Co Fall Cl?an-Up On Farms Urged Thorough fall clean-up cam paign will do much to reduce the rapidly growing population of insect pests on North Carolina farms, says George D. Jones, en tomologist for the State College Extension Service. Jones asserted that infesta tions of boll weevils and other insects reached record levels dur ing the past summer and imme diate action is needed to reduce next year's crop losses from these sources. "Prom all indications," he said, "the number of boll weevils going into hibernation in North Carolina will be the largest on record. This pest has caused ser ious?in fact, almost total? losses in many parts of the State." The entomologist said that de struction of cotton stalks before , frost will reduce the number and vigor of the weevils going into hibernation. He urged farmers to plow under, disc or cut down the stalks as soon as picking can be completed. Recent observations iq aban doned tobacco fields show a very high population of flea beetles feeding on the plants, Jones said. He added that community coope ration in the destruction of the old stalks and crop residues dur ing the early fall months should be especially helpful in control^ ing the beetles and many othei pests. The extension specialists said the pickle worm and several oth er vegetable pests have been very harmful this fall, and the Mexi can bean beetle haB been espec ially destructive in several com mercial bean plantings. Promp destruction of the plants by plow ing will kill large numbers o immature forms as well as starve out others, he asserted. ? si ** ? In many cases, Jones pointed out, fall-seeded cover crops can be planted following fall clean 1 up operations. support the Y M C A A record acreage of perma nent pasture, most Ladlno clorer and fescue or Ladlno and orch ard grass, will be seeded in Nash County this fall, says County Agent M.
