Hertford County Herald ' jj j A PAPER WORTH WHILE VOL. 9 AHOSKIE, N. C., FRIDAY, July, 19 1918 NUMBER 2 6 Ill i NIL I ii sriM: Mr. Gait her, the County Demonstra tor, alter consulting experts, tells how to kill the cotton destroyer. Winton N. C. July. 17 1918. Many insti nces of more or serious damage to*cott3n in Hertford Coun ty have come under the observr tion of the County Agent this season. Lice. The cotton leaf louce is a sucking insect that attacks the leaves and does considerable damage to he fol ate -under such weather conditions as we have experience this season This pest is usually so wide spred that it will be too expensive to spray i for its controll. Shortly after the i lice form there will appear a lavae of a striped bug attached to the stem of the stalk, destroy the lice. In cold wedther it will mature sl owly and this allows the lice more time to <lo their work. Usually the damage done by the \ lice U only slight. Observation made this week ?how that practical- f ly all of the lice have been destroy ed and tl)? cotton is rapidly recov- ? erinir. i Red Spider. This is a very small insect work- i ing mainly on the outside of the cot- , ton leaf anrl when it begins as earley as Jun<? docs very serious damage. The following from the N. C. Div ision of Entomology vtili b: c i help to the farmers who have this pest to conte d with. The County has a spray pump that can be used for demonstrating the spraying of cotton tor th's pest and the lime sulphur used can be had at Wintcn if the materials are not available to making the spray at home. DESCRIPTION: A very small spider or mite infesting many' plants including beans and tomatoes in gardens. Clover, Vetch, Jerusalem Oak and Pokeweed in fields, spreads to cotton in June, July and later, works mainly on under side of leaves. On cotton causes red spot which enlarges, leaf turns yellow and sheds, whole plant may shed it's leaves and die. PROGRESS 'AND SERIOUSNESS OF ATTACK: Usually starts at one spot, in corner, edge, or side . of cotton field, (usually starting from weeds, especially pokewood). Spreads by crawling, wind, storms, and cultivation. If it gets started . in cotton in June or July many plan , ts cannot mature bolla, but if it star ts in mid-August or later the bolls, may open in spite of shedding, hence oil cotton early attacks are much more destructive than later at tacks. RELATION TO WEATHER: Hot dry weather encourages Red Spider*, | while cool damp weather check* it, ' A rainy spell will often atop a aeri- ] oua attack. Caatroi Meaaorea Preventive meaaurea are meat im- ? portant, aa treatment of infeeted I plant* ia expenaive and tedioaa, PREVENTIVE: Deatrorlpokewead, I Jeruaelem oak and jimaon weed near i cotton in apring,jESPECIALLY THE < POKEWEED ao it will not apread < from it to autton. Clover allowed < to matura clorer to cotton alao ia often a aonree of red apidar. The t destruction of these aterting pointa ( ia THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP t to prevent damage. | REMEDIES: (I) Poll, pile, and born the first badly infested ataka. This may wall be dona several times while it is yet in small areas. ! ?-H (2) Pluck reddened leaves on slightly infested plants around the worst area, gathered into aack SATURATED WITH KEROSENE, cary out of field and burn. (3) Spray with one potassium sjlpher dissolved in'2 gallons water, ?r, (4) Spray with limeVulpher solution prepared as follows: 5 pounds of stone lime, 5 pounds sulpher, pun put in tub or keg, add ho; water to Htart slacking, more hot water to keep liquid, (no fire) when complet ed, strain, and add water to make 50 gallons. Spray on. As the Red SDider is chiefly on under sides of leave?, is very small, and must be actully wetted to kill it, extreme ^thoroughness, and care to wet the under sides of leaves is necessary. Hence spraying is rec orymendad only for smal| areaa be fore mid-August when its applica tion will prevnt spread to whole field. n County Clob Encampment.

SAVING OF fRUIT URGED BUOVERNHEHT Raleigh July 17 Because of the scarcity of sugar some people with an abundance of fruit have felt that they should curtail their canning and preserving orperations, accord ing to report which reached the Food Administration here. Such people have assumed the wrong at titude, according to officials of the Food Administration The position of the Food Administration may be stated as follows; Every possible pound of fruit that | is not needed for immediate con sumption should be saved by cann ing, preserving or drying. i The use of drying method in sav i ing fruit and vegetables is encour aged to the greatest extent possible because no sugar is necessary for this purpose and no cans or jars are necessary. Next to drying, canning is urged. The motto of the Food Administra tion is, "Maximum canning with maximum sugar". Sugar will no doubt be more plentiful during the fill and winter and it can be added to the fruit when they are eaten. All sugar that is necessary for canning and preserving can be secur ed upon certificates or pledge that are approved and signed by, county Food Administrators. Canning School Held at Win ?

The opportunity so greatly desir ed by patriotic women throughout the country of doing practical, effe ctive war work is now open to thoee who possess the necessary qualifica tions and who wish to enroll in the Naval Reserve Force for duty as storekeepers. In all the Allied countries, w >men for a long time have been preform ing work formely done by men, and they have done this' work so capable as to compel the admiration of the work. The motion of the various Goverments in turning over such work to woemen, and this loyal pur1 pose has inspired thousand of wom en from all walks of life to enter munition factories, do farm tabor, and embark on scores of other en terprises which go to make up the industrial life of a nation at war. In the country, the part to be ^ taken by women has not yet assum ed the proportions it has reached aboard. The tendency in this dir ection, however, is illustratedin the call recently issued by the Naval Reserves for women vo act as store keepers. Such women will, in a very real and substantial fashion, speed the war progress of iheir country, and hasten the coming of Peace. Women between the ages of 21 and 85, desirous of serving in the capacity mentioned, are asked to communicate with the District Ea rolling Officer, Fifth Naval District 101 W?st Main Street. Norfolk.
