Dusting Cotton Is Checking Weevils County Agent Overman Reports Very Good Results Dusting cotton with 20*% Toxaphene to control boll weevils is showing very good results in Chowan County, says County Agent C. W. Overman. Five dusted fields showed an average of two weevils per 100 hills last week. These same fields averaged 22 weev ils per 100 hills before dusting be gan. Last week two of these fields showed no live boll weevils. Rain following the dusting applica tion on some of the farms within 12 hours did no harm as the dust stuck and the boll weevils are under con trol. Mr. Overman says this indi cates that cotton growers should not worry about rain, just put the dust on every 7 days. Four undusted fields being checked for boll weevil count showed an aver age of 18 per 100' hills. Two more undusted fields have been added to the check list making six fields dusted and six fields undusted on which Mr. Overman will make boll weevil infes tation counts weekly and follow through with yield. HEALTH FOR Ml | X-RAY SURVEYS Tuberculosis is today one of the most serious public health problems in this country. It takes close to 45,- 000 American lives each year and it is the leading disease-killer among our young people between the ages of 15 and 34. Moreover, of the estimated half mil lion people in the United States suf fering from tuberculpsis, about 250,- 000 are not receiving treatment for their illness and most of them do not even realize they are ill. Tuberculosis has no obvious symptoms in an early stage and thousands of our fellow citi zens, unaware that they have this communicable disease, are living, working, and playing among us, and may be losing their own health and innocently spreading their illness. Who are these people who uninten tionally may be endangering their own lives and the health of those with whom they associate? There is no way of “typing” the kind of person who might have tuberculosis because the disease may strike anyone—men, women, and even children; rich or poor; old and young; laborer and pro fessional worker. But steps can be taken to protect people against this insidious way in which tuberculosis attacks. These “un known cases” of tuberculosis must be found and placed under treatment, and they can be found. A dependable “detective” is the chest X-ray which can show up evidence of tuberculosis even in an early stage before symp toms appear. Since early tuberculosis has no ob vious symptoms, we must seek the unknown cases among the apparently healthy, and the chest X-ray is the first step in that search. Groups of seemingly healthy peo ple are today receiving chest X-rays in communities all over the nation to check the health of their lungs. Fortunately, many people learn the facts about tuberculosis during these X-ray surveys and form the excellent habit of getting periodic chest X-rays s.r.ce the disease can strike at any lime. A diagnosis of tuberculosis is never made f r a single Vray.
