WHAT IS HAPPENING
WITH THE BOLL
WEEVIL.
"Undoubtedly much money
has already been wasted in
North Carolina this year in
needless and ineffective at
tempts to combat the Boll
vevil Time and time again we
warned against this says
Franklin Sherman, Chief Sher
man in Entomology for the
State College and Department
of Agriculture. .
"We advised against any ex
travagant outlay ol money for
machines or poisons ? of what
ever kinds in the area where
weevil-injury was due to be
litrht, yet we are told of per
sons who have used 'remedies
and now because their injury is
light doubtless some ot them
tnink they have controlled the
weevil; whereas, m tact the
weevil is equally scarce
other lields where no expense
was incurred to protect trom
the weevil." .
Mr. Sherman stated thai in
the region where injury was
due to be severe this season ad
vice was given to prepare lor
using the standard dust-poison
method and follow the ofhcial
advice, which is not to begin
poisoning when the weevil first
appears, but to wait until there
is harmful damage in immedi
ate prospect. A number of cot
ton farmers bought machines
and poison and dusted by
directions with good prospect
of success. There are other
likewise equipped who nave not
applied one pound of poison be
cause they haven't ueeued to
and their investment is snii
safe.
But there are many others |
who thought they would go <
one better on the officials ad
visers, states Mr. Sherman, j
These determined to see other ,
forms of poison and to begin (
when the first weevils appear, j
ed. They have applied tneir
poisons repeatedly for two
months or more, and certainly
kii'led some .weevils, especially
before squares formed, but it is ]
known today that inmany such
fields there has been no real
need of this expenditure, and ,
that in other fields the weevil- ;
injury is increasing in spite of j
their "treatments". j
"Weevil injury is not equal
and alike in all tields, says Mr. j
Sherman. "He who thinks i
that he must adopt a certain
'remedy' into his practice and
use it , whatever happens,
stands every chance of wasting
monev and effort. * He who
follows the standard official ad
vice will prepare, and will then
apply the poison wheir it is |
needed and where it is needed, j
The one expends blandly on
a yet questionable method ; the
other uses his judgement and
knowledge in the timely appll- j
cation of a known method.
There is a wide difference, and j
perhaps this difference will
grow wider as we grow in our j
weevil experience."

I BEES NEED HONEY IN
WINTER STATES SAMS
"One reason why beekeepers
have weak colonies in the
spring and suffer a reduced
honey flow is because they take
the honey too close before the j
bees go into winter quarters,"
says C. L. Sams, Specialist in
beekeeping for the State Col- i
lege and department of Agri
culture." Don't take the honey
so close as to starve the bees '
during winter if you' would j
have strong colonies the follow- <
ing spring. I recently heard a
prominent beekeeper - In this
State boast of the fact that he
took 90 pounds of honey from
each of his colonies. Unless
his bees have an opportunity to
find flowers between now and
cold weather, they will probab
ly go through the winter in a
starved condition."
Mr. Sams states that the least
amount of honey that a colony j
should have for winter is fif
teen pounds and if there is a
scarcity of stores, the queen
bee will slow up- laying. This
would result in only old bees and
a small number of young ones
in the colony in spring. It is
only those worker bees which
are raised after August 15
which live through the winter,
and so it is important that the
queen does not let up her lay
ing activity. Mr. Sams says
that in a normal colony, if
there are plenty of stores and a
young queen, the bees should
pass the winter safely.
He makes another point in
that he has found a number of
colonies this year with drone
combs in the center of ? the
worker combs. These should
bepushed to one side or remov
ed if possible. Under no con
ditions should they be allowed
to stay in the center of the
worker combs.To permit them
to do so will greatly weaken the
colony next spring.
