County Agent Cites Control County Agent A. S. Knowl es Describes Various Met hods Which May Be Used To Control Insects Insects of various sorts have been doing some damage to crops in Brunswick county, chiefly to tobacco, according to County Agent A. S. Knowles. Many of the fields of tobacco are now be yond danger of damage from some of the pests, chiefly from cut worms and wireworms. Still, says County Agent Knowles, it Is worthwhile for every grower to know control measures against insects from the time tobacco is AMUZU THEATRE SOUTHPORT, N. C.

Mr. Knowles gives the follow-' ing tried and proven control mea sures for the tobacco fields: Wireworms: Two tablespoons of cresote dip, or one pound of 50 per cent wetable DDT dust to each 50 gallons of transplanting water. Cutworms: Use a bait consis ting of wheat bran, molasses -or syrup and cryolite or arsenate of lead. Add enough water to make; up bait to crumbling stage. Drop1 . by the tobacco plants. | Grasshoppers: Use same bait as above for cutworms. May add i some Paris green. Or dust hedge rows with chloronated camphene or chlordane to prevent the grass hoppers from entering fields. | Burworms: Use one pound of; cryolite to one peck of corn meal1 and apply a generous pinch on top of each plant. Flea Beettle: (field plants) dust 10 to 15 pounds of cryolite per acre. j Aphids or Plant Lice: Check often for damage from these in sects. Use tetarethyl pyrophos phate. Follow directions of the manufacturer but do not mix until ready to use and mix only the amount that can be put out in a short time. May use as a dust chlornated camphene or chlordane 8 to 15 pounds to the Hornworms: Use 6 pounds of cryolite (65 per cent active in gredients) in 50 gallons of water and spray 70 to 80 gallons per acre. Arsenate of lead may be used in place of cryolite. Corn Insect Control Several different kinds of in sects are also doing damage to the corn crop, Mr. Knowles says. Regarding these, he suggests the following control measures: Small corn insects: The corn bud worm and cucumber beetle lavra attack the corn plants when they are very small. More dam age usually occurs in dark soils early in the season. Dusting with 6 to 10 pounds of benzene head loride or chlordane per acre will control these insects. Corn Billbugs: Rotation is re commended. Be sure that corn does not follow corn on infested land. Some control may be had from thoroughly dusting with1 benzene hexachloride or chlordane. Before corn tassels the corn ear | worm often feeds in the bud of J the corn and ~ is sometime' re ferred to as the shatter worm. Use DDT spray or dust with 10 per cent DDT dust. For small areas treatment may be given by using a mixture of one pound of cryolite in one peck of meal and applying a pinch to the bud of corn. EL SELMA Deep Sea Party Boat Gapt.

Brunswick Has Good Coverage New Southeastern North Carolina Fishing Rodeo Booklet Will Carry Inter esting Material About The County With thirty or more of the members of the board of direct ors of the Southeastern North Carolina Beach Association in session last Friady evening the main topic for consideration was the final touches put on the booklet material now in the press giving detailed information con cerning every beach and resort t place from the northern tip of ( New Hanover county to the t South Carolina line. The Rev. L. D. Hayman, J. J. I Loughlin and Harry Mintz from j Brunswick county attended the' meeting. The plan for giving in- j formation and pictures of the J various beaches and towns of [ Brunswick county pleased the Brunswick directors even going I beyond the expectation of what had been hoped for. The Rodeo Fishing Booklet this year will be much larger than the previous publications. For exam ple, Southport alone will get a full page of detailed information as to interests of the town and the sports facilities connected there with. Other towns and beaches come in for a good show ing. More than five thousand of these booklets will be distributed with additional copies made up for special precentations as need ed. The board of directors also Is making much of its effort to co operate with other agencies local ly and otherwise to help bring to the network of good roads, bridges and other developments for Brunswick county, as well as in other sections served by this organization. The need was stressed that local interest help bring each community and resort place up to the point of being able to handle the larger number of people from over the state and other places out-side the State that ar? expected to come to the seashore of Southeastern North Carolina this season. When it is realized that $20, 000,000.00 came into the South eastern section of North Carolina last year, the most of it going to the places that were and are equipped to take care of tourist, it is enough to wake Southport and other Brunswick County communities up to the fact that with hotels, cafes, sufficient sports fishing boats, docking faci lities for visiting yachts and fish ing vessels, a much larger por tion of this money from tourists and sportsmen will find its way into these places, says Director Hayman. What is needed are facilities sufficiently provided, and plenty of sound advertising to bid for this trade, he continued. "The financial pulse of this busi ness will be felt tremendously. Two or three million dollars com ing to this section from such sources would make a great dif ference in the business, economic and social life of any town. This opportunity is within the reach of Southport, and other com munities of Brunswick county. What is greatly needed is a Plan ning Board made up of repre sentative men and women from very community who can by planning and wise counsel, aid in the development this trade which is sure to come, chiefly along the coast".
