Boll Weevil Threat Is Great This Year "Total preparedness" to control the boll weevils is recommended to cotton farmers by J. O Row ell, Ex tension entomologist of N. C State College. He reports that large num bers of weevils survived the com paratively mild winter of 1940-41 | and emerged from hibernation this spring. There are indications that weevils will be more numerous this year than during any recent year, Row- ? ell says. The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the U. S Department of Agriculture keeps a fairly close check on weevils through i the use of hibernation traps. Examining hibernation 'traps at Florence, S. C.. the Federal agency found survival of weevils at the rate of 1.960 per acre, nearly 12 times ' the number found in 1940. At Tallu iah, La., 81 per cent of the weevils placed in traps last fall were alive this spring. Where the cotton grower intends to follow a complete control program Rowell recommends early or pre square poisoning with a liquid mix ture which is applied with mops. He urges, however, that the first appli cation of the poison be delayed un til weevils occur in the field at the rate of 30 or more per acre, or one weevil to 500 plants. "Pie-square poison treatment should be started just as soon as squares begin to form," the exten sion specialist said. "This is usually when the plants are five to six inches high, and before the squares are large enough for the weevils to puncture. When the squares have de veloped to a size large enough for the weevils to feed on and lay eggs in, pre-square poison applications should cease." Rowell says pre square poisoning alone should not be relied upon to entirely control boll weevils Many weevils reach the field after the pre square poisoning in riod has passed. Post-square dusting with calcium arsenate is necessary to control late weevils Fanners in N.

They say it's as light as straw. Civilian Needs Take Hi?; Pereent Of Steel You might not have guessed it. with all the emphasis on defense production, hut so far "civilian needs" are still taking 75 per cent of Uncje Sam's steel production Apparently it can't go on in that ra tio very long, for Ganu Dunn of the OPM has reported that combined ci vilian arid-defense requirements this year will exceed capacity hy 1,400, 000 tons, and hy 1042 there will be an indicated deficit of 6,400,000 tons. In releasing these figures.

"Ku Klux Klan " Ask about "Hed Strings," "Union League," or "Heroes of America," and chances are ten to one that the person interviewed will admit that he does not remember having heard of these societies. Each of these phrases are a part of the post Civil War period in the history of North Carolina Following 1H65 there was a strug gle in all southern states for the control of the "ballot box." for who ever controls the voting also con trols the government. In an effort to establish the "car pet bag" government, the "Red Strings" and v other secret leagues were started Many lawless acts were committed, as those men, who were seeking political control, went about organizing the blacks and whatev er whites they could bribe or per suade to join them. In some parts of North Carolina the Negro was led to believe that the whites were ut tcmpting to re-enslave him. One of the main causes for bringing the Ku Klux Klan into the Tar Heel state was to combat the influence of the secret socit ties which were acid ing to the chaos and turmoil that followed the downfall of the south ern confederacy. B. F. Moore, a North Carolina Un ionist, left a record of his knowledge of the secret political organizations that attempted to establish a new order^in the State. He stated that members of the Red Snugs appeal ed to him at the? end of the war for the purpose of getting them dis charged from arrest Some of the members were "apprehended as be ing inimical to the confederacy and as having entered into a secret eon spiracy to overthrow it ' The next organization of which he had knowledge was the Union League, which started immediately after the colored people got power. Governor Holden was the head of it; and it was gove rned in a most re markable manner, controlled from one c nd of the state to the other. There was a danger to property aris ing from the leagues, composed chiefly of "Negroes and low white people." Many lawless acts were committed, "the burning of barns, the destruction of cattle, horses and mules." Men were informed that their lives were in danger, or that they we re to be hanged. The freed man were promised "forty acres and ? a mule," for it was repeated that the j plantations would be confiscated by the federal government. The work of these leagues was a part of the terror of .reconstruction in North Carolina; in modern language it was "fifth column" activity. that about 95 per cent of the total June producion of aluminum will be needed for defense purposes. Zinc, "essential oils," gasoline, nickel and rubber are other materials import ant to both peacetime and defense production and which, in the new "unlimited emergency" undoubted ly will have to be "diverted" to de fense needs to a greater extent than had been anticipated when we first began to hear about priorities NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Washington Divi sion.
