Upw-1 Pi J. THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1924 THE NEWS REPORTER six . . - , LATE BULLETIN DESCRIBES BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL MEASURE FOR NORTH CARO Raleigh, April 8. The Barch, 1924, bulletin of the state depart ment of agriculture describes in detail the habits and sold" A meas ures for the cotton boll weevil in North Carolina according to find ings bv investigators of the experi ment station staff. The work re ported on in this bulletin was done at the field station of the division of entomology at Aberdeen and is the first actual result, given of ex perimental work under North Caro lina conditions. Other reports have been issued from time to time giving results of field demonstrations test ing, out methods advocated by the government and other agencies. The new bulletin gives the results of scientific study made up until the present time. The bulletin describes the habits and development of boll weevil un der North Carolina cond tions; tells about when the first weevils appear in the spring; how the new ones- de velop in the squares; when egg lay ing begins, summer development and gives in detail control measures tested out under actual field con ditions. The authors of the bulletin find that a single application of a sweet ened poisoned mixture made when squares begin to form will kill some of the over-wintering weevils. This mixture is applied in the bud, us ing about one gallon of the mixture per acre. It was found that this ap plication would apparently delay the arrival of heavy infestation later. The Florida method has possibilities but did not show up as a good control measure under the tests made at Aberdeen. The dust poison method was highly profitable and should by all means be used following the ap plication of the pre-square poisoning with sweetened mixtures. This dust poison is applied when the infesta tion reaches ten percent. The bulletin gives valuable infor mation about the life history of the boll weevil under North Carolina conditions and will be sent free to citizens of the state making a re quest for same. A card to the editor, Agricultural Extension Ser vice, Raleigh, will bring your copy. THE FAMILY GARDEN NECESSARY THIS YEAR Raleigh, April 8. --"The advent cf the cotton boll weevil into North Carolina calls for more diversified farming and the growing of suffi cient vegetables and fruit for home use. In the past the growing of vegetables has been neglected in eastern Carolina, but with the changing conditions many people are now giving more attention to this important nhase of agriculture," says R. F. Payne, extension horticul turist for the state college of Agri cutlure. Mr. Payne states that every farm home in North Carolina should have a home garden large enough to give a sufficient supply of vegetables for the table every day in the year. Veg etables form a very important part of the diet, and no meal is com plete without some. Our bodies de mand certain elements to keep them in good working order. If these ele ments are not supplied and in the right amounts, the penalty is poor health and higher doctor bills. "Children are not receiving their just and lawful birthright unless they are supplied with the necessary food for developing strong and healthy bodies," says Mr. Payne. "Many parents are willing to work early and late in order to give their chil dren some of the advantages they didn't have, and yet they overlook the all-year garden, something that costs very little and give a profit able and varied return. "The surplus vegetable, can be sold locally at a good profit. There is always a demand for good, fresh vegetables and they can easily be grown in the home garden. A reg ular and profitable trade can quick ly be built up with the surplus.and thus a good cash crop is provided for practically every month' in the year. "The size of the home garden de pends upon the size of the family and the amount of vegetables desir ed for local sales. Every garden should contain some of the follow ing: Leaf crops: Lettuce, cabbage, spinach, kale, parsley, beet tips, col lards, turnip tops; Petiole crops- celery, rhubarb; Stem crops aspa ragus, potatoes, kohlrabi; Bulb crops --onion; Root crops carrotts, tur nips, eets, radishes', sweet potatoes; Fruit crops tomatoes, egg plant, peppers, string beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, cantaloupes, water melons, squash; seed crops beans, peas." Most anybody would rather be right than president in a time like this.
