Demonstration Held To Control Weevils Acre of Maurice Nixon’s Cotton Object of Fight Against Pests A dusting demonstration to control boll weeyil was conducted last week on an acre of cotton belonging to Maurice Nixon, son of Mrs. W. A. Nixon, of the Rocky Hock community. A boll weevil count was made on Maurice’s cotton by Assistant County Agent Robert Marsh before the dust was applied and the boll weevil infes tation was 20%. Three different kinds of dust were used on the cotton. The first 13 rows in the field’ received an application of 20% Chlordane, the next 14 rows received an application of 10% Chlordane, and the remaining 13 rows received an application of 20% Toxaphene. . All these dusts were put on at the rate of 12 pounds per acre. Each of these dusting materials has proved to be very effective in controlling the boll worm as well as the boll weevil and other destructive cotton insects. The dust was applied with a small two-row dusting machine which has two nozzles for each row. One nozzle was set about midway of the cotton plant and the other one was set so that it would blow dust downward from near the top of the plant. Mau rice is fortunate in that his cotton is not so rank that it is impossible to get a dusting machine through it. 801 l weevil counts were made in several other fields this week, but since the cotton is so large it is im possible to dust it unless an airplane is used. Van Don Jones Dies Tuesday Os Last Week Van Don Jones, highly respected Edenton Negro, died Tuesday morning of last week, his passing coming as a shock to both white and colored friends.

B&PWomen’sGlub Members Picnic At Edenton Air Station L Local Women Urged to Attend District Meet ing In Ahoskie On last Thursday the Edenton Business and Professional Women’s Club held its regular monthly meet- i ing in the club house at the base. Mrs. Laura Harrell, hospitality chair man and her committee arranged a picnic, having each member bring her own lunch and drink.

On account of a thunderstorm, the picnic was held indoors. A short business meeting was held afterward, and all had a most enjoy able time, including Bill Privott’s two bird dogs, eating everything they could get, from bread to cake.
