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.

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.

WOKEN WANTED TO
ENLIST IN NAVAL KESERYE
Norfolk Va. July 11, 1918.
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.
