Increase the amount up to ten or
twelve pounds per acre as cotton
reaches mature growth. Dust every
five to seven days.
‘‘Don’t hold off for cloudy weath
er," says Overman, “the boll weevil
I doesn't stop. A good control pro
gram means dusting every week
from now through the first or sec

vise you otherwise.
‘‘Don’t share crop with the boll
weevil. Your cotton stand may not

leave it is good enough to dust.”

Recent Rains Help
Growth In Pastures
The recent rains which have fall
en in Chowan County certainly
helped pastures, according to Rob
ert S. Marsh, assistant county
agent Ladino clover pastures in
many sections of the county were
very poor until the rains. Sev
eral farmers were unable to get a
good stand of Ladino clover last fall
due to the dry weather, however,
in most cases a fair amount of La
dino germinated and survived the
extremely cold spell during the late
spring. Pastures of this kind
should have the weeds mown fre
quently as necessary and the farm
er should not graze them until the
Ladino which is already present has
a chance to grow and spread, ad
vises U. S. Marsh, assistant coun
ty agent.
“The cutter bar of the mowing
machine can he set high enough to
clip the weeds without damaging
the clover. Although the top of
the Clover may he clipped, it is bet
ter to do this than to let the weeds
grow,” says Marsh. “If the La
dino grows sufficient it may he
