PAGE TEN State Accepts Two Morale Bidding 4-H Programs For 1951 Purpose to Develop Bet ter Mental and Phys ical Well Being: The need for practical morale-build ing leisure-time activities in 4-H Club work is accented through the home grounds beautification and re search-rural arts programs, which are again being conducted by the 'North Carolina Extension Service this year. In 1950 the 4-H home grounds pro gram helped more than 114,500 club members beautify and improve their farmsteads. Its popularity is evi denced by the increased enrollment of nearly 20,000 over 1949. Awards for outstanding achievement are provided byMrs. Charles Walgreen, Chicago, on county, state and national levels. The chief purpose of the 4-H recre ation and rural arts program is to encourage rural young people to help develop family and community recre ation programs, leading to better men tal and physical well being. Incen tives provided by the United States Rubber Company in this program to tal $32,000. These include $25 cash awards to counties naming blue award group of 4-H Clubs, educa tional, trips to the National 4-H Club Congress pext November for eight national winners, and leader training aids. More than 16,919 leaders in 1,936 counties in 47 states attended leader training schools in 1950. Last year’s state 4-H home grounds beautification winner in North Caro lina was Patricia Gordon of Mount Airy. There were 48 county win ners. In 4-H recreation and rural arts, 20 counties received a $25 cash award, and Robert Parker, Maccles field, was a national winner. County Extension agents will fur nish complete information for mem bers wishing to participate in these programs. County Asrent Believes Weevil Under Control The boll weevil appears to be un der control on regularly dusted fields, according to County Agent C. W. Overman. Six dusted fields showed an average of 6 per cent punctured squares. Two fields dusted irregular ly showed 20 per cent punctured squares. Three undusted fields show ed 45 per cent punctured squares. Mr. Overman believes two more applica tions five days apart will pay if the dusting equipment can get through the cotton without doing appreciable damage. This will help greatly to keep the weevil down and to control the boll worm which is coming in now. it’s here! it’s NEW! it’s super!

Bumper 1951 Cotton i Crop Is Anticipated State and Nation Ex* i pected to Pass Last Year's Crop August 1 indications point to a 1951 * cotton crop in North Carolina of 610,- ’ 000 bales (500 pounds gross weight), ' Such a crop would be 237 per cent or 429,000 bales above production last * year and 5 per cent or 31,000 bales 1 above the 10-year average. Assuming average abandonment as- * ter July 1, the icreage for harvest this year would be 764,000 acres—33 1 per cent greater than the acreage har- ‘ vested year. With the excep- ‘ tion 0f.1949, when 860,000 acres were harvested, the 1951 acreage is the lar- ] gest since 1943. As of August 1, prospects were for , a yield of 383 pounds of lint per acre ( compared with 151 pounds last year ( and the' 10-year average of 369 pounds. A yield of 383 pounds would [ be the fifth highest of record. Weather conditions since July 1 | have been generally favorable for de velopment of cotton. Dry weather has been an aid to farmers in their ef forts to control weevil damage. More cotton growers than ever before are dusting or spraying for weevil and in most cases they have been success • ful in -holding infestation to a mini- I mum. However, there was a notice able increase in weevil activity during the last week of July and the final turnout of the crop will depend con siderably upon how well growers are able to cofttrol weevil from now until the crop has passed the danger point. The Nations’ cotton crop is esti mated at 17,266,000 bales as of Au gust 1, 72 per cent or 7,254,000 bales Is Gray Hair Robbing You of Popularity and Success?
