I AROUND THE FARMS
; BOTIN CHOWAN COUNTY
[, By C. W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agwt
Tha Cotton Intact Situation i:
looking rough. Apparently ;
great many of our Chowan cot
ton growers are not paying am
attention to it. If some grower:
want to raise cotton to feed in
sects maybe I should not be con
cerned, but I am concerned about
the income their families need
and I don’t believe they can gel
income from insects.
Last Thursday. Harry Venters
made the cotton insect survey,
This covered the same fields we
covered the week before. In
fields where- a regular dusting
schedule Had* been started
promptly, the.'punctured square
cbunt had not increased. In oth
er fields, the punctured square
count had doubled. The punc
tured square count in undusted
fields came up to 40 percent.
Red Spider was found in some
fields and had caused severe
damage in some areas.
Growers, look your cotton
fields over carefully. Examine
the squares on the plants, not
just those on the ground. After
a square is punctured it is about
seven days or more before it
falls off. The insect situation is
serious. You should dust or
spray every 5 to 7 days regard
less of weather.
To control boll weevil, use
one of the following: 2‘a per
cent Aldrin, 2 percent Dieldrin.
2 percent Endrin, 2 l i percent |
Gnthion. 2*2 percent Heptachlor.|
10 percent Malathion, 2 x i percent!
Methyl Para th ion. 10 percent
Sevin, 20 percent Toxaphene. |
To control boll worm also, you
can get most of the above with
5 percent DDT in them. To con
trol red spider use Trithion or.
Ethion.
It is advisable to change or
alternate insecticides to get in
sects which develop immunity.!
Again, I remind you to dust
every 5 to 7 davs until August
15th.
The Japanese Beetle Is Still
Working. About two weeks ago j
I dusted my scuppernong grape- 1
vines. Now, I notice some]
beetles on them again so I'll dust j
again today. The beetles will
continue to work until about 1

1 left Raleigh at 12:30 and
S |Was making good time, hoping
jto get in on a part of the pro-|j
5 j gram. At Williamston I ran in-i
I I to rain. 1 am sure the whole]
jj program would have been most
helpful. Maybe we can repeat'
? the attempt and hold the full
program some time in the fu
ture.
11 Safety Live And Let Live
should be our motto and daily |
’ practice throughout the year. I
The week of July 24-30 is Na- I
tional Farm Safety Week. I’ll I
give you more about that next I

safety. J
My Summer School Schedule I

it is good. We start class at 8 I
o’clock each morning. Classes, j
study and research keep us busy I
until 10 o'clock or later at night I
Mv two courses are “Building I
An Extension Program” and I

very good and have excellent ]
instructors. Some of you know I
