Jones Farm Agent
Warn* Farmers of
Tobacco Moth Larvae'
Tobacco moth larvae have been
found feeding on cored tobacco In
at least one packhouse. Jones
County Farm Agent J. R. Franck
reports.
Franck states that these larvae
are small worms about inch
long, white tinged with yellow
brown or pink and peppered with
small brownish scattered spots.
The damage from these larvae
can easily be detected by the large
ragged boles in the leaves of to
bacco. FrancR is urging farmers
to check their tobacco regularly
to see if it is being damaged from
this moth.
Jf damage is detected, the to
bacco should be sold aa quickly
'as possible Franck says. If to
bacco can’t be - sold immediately
the larvae can be killed by hang
ing the tobacco in the curing bare
and running a 140 degree beat on
it for 24 hours. The agent cautions
fanners in doing this to raise the
heat slowly on the tobacco.
Franck says that the larvae
can be killed by fumigation 'with
tnetbyl bromide but he adds this
is too dangerous to use except as
a last resort.

tee are Woodrow Taylor, chairman;
Mrs. Woodrow Taylor, and Tho

Feud Erupts With Shotgun Blast
As Bootleggers Cry Stoolpigeon’
Gunfire broke the usual peace
of Falling Creek Township Tues
day afternoon in what some of
ficers fear may be merely the
opening round of a bootleggers
war.
Events leading up to the shoot

what happened as the actual shoot
ing for which .Larry Moye is un

(John D. Wiggins was capWed at
a still in the western part of the
county. Monday night Robert Had

drove up, pulled a pistol on him
and proceeded to* lay a cussing on
him, accusing Moye of being the
“stool pigeon” that had turned in
'Wiggins mid himself.
After the pistol-point tongue
lashing, mixed with numerous
threats, Moye says Haddock drove
off. Then Mioye armed himself with
a shotgun aid took off after Had
dock, catching him about three
miles away.
Haddock had stopped by the
road to talk with tarn, men when
•Moye caught' up. Then Moye step
ped out of his car and let go two
charges of bird shot at Haddock,
of which struck Haddock but

in that section recently and the
same accusations are being voiced
by members of the Wiggins’ family,
none of which is reportedly too
fond of Moye as a result of John
D. Wiggins being captured at a
still when he had an 18-month
jail term hanging over his head
from federal court.
' Hadddck was equally displeased
since he has a similar probation
ary term hanging over him in the
state courts.
Officers expressed the view
Wednesday that they didn’t ex
pect any more shooting off of any
thing but a "lot of hot air" from
this bootlegging controversy. The

side’s scared and the other’s
