PAGE TWO -SECTION ONE Insect Damage To J Cotton In Chowan Showinglncrease Survey Monday Shows More Damage Than Expected The boll weevil must have rained qn Chowan cotton fields during the last week, according to County Agent C. W. Overman. The boll Weevil infestation is about four times what it was one week ago. The cotton insect survey made on Monday of this week was consider ably heavier than expected. In fields that were dusted last week, gn average of 17 per cent of the squares were punctured. On fields that were not dusted last week an average of 65 per cent of the square* were punctured. For ex ample, a field that had 7 per cent punctured squares last week had 25 per cent punctured squares this week. Another field which had 4 per cent punctured squares last Week had 20 per cent punctured squares this week. So the com parisons go. The punctures are fleshly made. There were more boll weevils found in the fields this week than all the rest of the sea son put together by many times. 1 “A good application of dust ap plied immediately should do much ti> kill out the present population of weevils,” says Mr. Overman. “The length of its effectiveness will depend on whether or not rain fol lows. Cotton is attaining a rather large growth in many fields. Dusting with ground equipment will no doubt break some of the limbs and some of the tops. While this will damage the plant, it may be an advantage in opening up the j plant so that sunlight can get in. j Squares that are knocked off the plants by dusting equipment' will practically all fall anyway because they are punctured or are loose due to normal shedding. “This has been a most difficult, drastic] REDUCTIONS ON JANTZEN And ALL LADIES’ SPORTSWEAR See The Outstanding GRAB TABLE ALL LADIES’ SUMMER HATS NO HIGHER THAN $2.00 f MANY PRICED AT SI.OO • I THE BETTY SHOPPE ft Edenton, North Carolina J 1 year to make conclusive reeom | mendations on controlling the boll | weevil. Up until two weeks ago all i indications were that the infesta- Ition of boll weevil was very light and in no fields did it justify treat ing. Now during the last two ! weeks, rains have come handicap ping the effectiveness of dusting and the boll weevil has increased by leaps and bounds." Light red spider infestations were found in a few fields. Grow ers should watch their fields care fully for red spider and dust with Farathion if the cotton is infested. 801 l weevil dusts used now should contain DDT to control the boll worm. The boll worm infestation in dusted fields this week appeared to he very light. New Army Recruiter For Albemarle Area M/Sg.t Shermon D. Owen.

Pulpwood Production Still Shows Increase ? - Pulpwood production increased f again during 1955 in Western > North Carolina, according to Fred - E. Whitfield, State College exten -1 sion forestry specialist. ' Approximately 265,160 cords of pine, hardwoods, and Chestnut were 1 sold to pulp mills last year. This ' represents an increase of 18,933 cords over the previous year. ’ The value of this wood is figured at nearly 3*2 million dollars at rail siding or an increase in value of [ nearly $90,000 over 1954. , Whitfield says that a recent eco j nomic study indicates that pulp wood production will be 83 per cent s higher within 20 years as new uses 1 are found. 1 Based on 1955 values, this would ? mean pulpwood production would - represent a six million dollar in - dustry, Whitfield adds. r “ Not Yet If It must have been very dark in Noah’s ark. e Yes, sir.

Although Scott still has misgivings about many features of the new farm program, he feels that there are 'several items in it of special im portance to North Carolina farm ers. Among them are the provisions that give an additional 16,000 acres of cotton to North Carolina; a pro vision that permits farmers to maintain acreage history for crops with acreage controls without planting them each year; and lib eralized regulations for farm cred it.
