SURREY SHOWS MORE
WEEVILS THIS yAaR.
Raleigh, N. C. Aug. 8—Surveys
made by the twenty field men and
county agents of the Agricultural
Extension Service up urttfl July 30
show that; there is a greater infes
tation of -bpll weevils ip the cotton
crop of N^rth Carolina this year than
last. This infestation is heavier in
:he coastal and eastern counties and
yrowa progressively less toward the
•till country.
“At tW same time,” says Prof.
Franklin Sherman of the State Divis
ion of Entomology,” the survey also
shows a better attitude of mind on
the part of the cotton grower toward
using the standard, approved method
of fighting the weevil as recommend
ed by the College and Department
workers. Cultural methods and con
ditions have averaged good and the
cotton *a a general rule is making
excellent growth and is fruiting
heavily. |Ure farmers are dusting
yil 'befdre in North
* ■■ T . ■■
! Carolina."
In Dome parts «# eastern Cagal^pt
weevil infestation has fearhe^ tin
(high point of 25' to 50 «m^% to ■
number of cases the number of wcu
1 vHs hn inr reuses three tMMs durhm
one week and on nearly every farm
studied, ai least one field would have
i an infestation of from If to 25 per
cent.
fn the southeastern, section, th«
field workers found tike yeavA pro*
valent in nearly evary cotton field
and stated that d ostia* is advisable
all over thin territory. The prolong
ed dry, hot weather was having some
effect in weevil control but with the
cortning of showers and wet weather,
it is being advised that the field be
watched closely and that dusking be
done when needed.
In the piedmont area, weevil sur
vival from the winter was apparent
ly light and dusting is treaded now
only in scattered area*. In the upper
piedmont towards the oatar edgu of
the cotton growing area, tha infesta
tion is light with no reports of ser
ious damage.

Dncp upon a time two citizens wet*e
conversing in low ton4s, they Wef#
talking: about the mysterious disap
pearance of C. j. ^tepfin!. NeWrby
stood another citizen who seemed not
to be noticing what was being said j
near him, but wan hearing every
word that was spoken. Presently orte
of the men said: “I know whore
Shepard’s body is hurried”, his lis
tener flashed his eyes toward the
man that was near them, causing the
speaker to look around cautiously,
the speaker had nothing mdre to sAy
about the matter but shut up„lik* a
clam. The above conversation Was
carried on about three weeks before
the “Old skeleton” was reported found
in the woods near Parkton.
I say “old skeleton” the proof of
this remark is in the hands of Lum
ber ton's foremost Lawyer in the
form of the letter I received from
the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington in response to thp bone I for
warded to the Institution from the
refuse of the "Old skeleton” .near
parkton which places the age of the
“Old skeleton” as being that ot a male
person murdered about the yepr 1918,
Some day the skeleton of E. K.
Shepard is gofog to be taken up
from it’s present resting place and
all the wrongs that have perpetrated
in the past will be righted through
process of law, I haVe liad nothing
but reverses' in the past fn ihy effort
to bring to justice the men respon
sible for the death and d&appeatanae
of the body of Shephard, ami the
finding of the body. Sonic day I ins
