Tar Heel Cotton Producers Fight With New Weapons North Carolina cotton growers * are going after their old enemy, the boll weevil, with new am munition this summer. Entomologists at North Caro lina State college have developed a new cotton insect control pro gram which promises to be cheaper, simpler and more effec tive than past programs. Growers are reported to be en thusiastic in their acceptance of the program. Farm leaders are urging its adoption. “If growers will adopt this program, I am convinced we can double our state cotton yield without changing another prac tice,” said Dr. Walter J. Mistric, the State college scientist who headed research on the program. The new program is designed to prevent weevils where past programs have been designed to kill weevils. Four early treat ments are used to prevent repro duction by over-wintered weevils. Four later treatments ward off migratory weevils. The four early treatments start when cotton reaches the eight leaf stage and continue at five day intervals. The later treat ments start on July 24 and con tinue at five-day intervals. Appli cation dates, which were chosen after studying the weevil's life cycle for years, are the same for the entire state. No new insecticides or equip ment are involved. In fact, only 10 insecticides are now recom mended where 30 have been rec- j on the subject can be held during the week of September 4. The rabbit season would be opened November 23 and close February 15 except in Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga and Yancey counties where the season would end January 31. The statewide bag limit on rab bits would be five daily, ten in possession and 75 for the season. The quail season is proposed for November 23 through Feb ruary 15 except in Alleghany, Ashe, Mitchell, and Watauga counties where it would close De cember 16. The wild turkey season would open November 23 and extend through February 15 except that in and west of Stokes, Yadkin, Iredell, Lincoln, and Gaston coun ties, and in Anson, Beaufort, Car teret, Montgomery, and Richmond counties there would be no open season. Gause said that in general the hunting and trapping regulations regarding the taking of game and furbearing animals would be about the samea s for last season. School Daze By J(I>Y GO|tE TESTS, T£STS, TESTS, we have never seen so many tests before. We hope everyone passes with flying colors. The FFA and the FIpA went to the beach last Thursday. Everyone who went had a very good time. The eighth graders will have their graduatioiii, Friday morning. They are very thrilled and we are sure they will looke like kings and queens. The seniors had their bacca laureate, Sunday night. All the seniors looked very dignified and all the marshals looked keen. The seniors will graduate, Friday night. The juniors are planning a trip to the beach, next Monday. Bet they will enjoy it. On-the-grapevine—Thelma does pretty good at Myrtle Beach . . . Everyone is getting good sun tans . . . Why do we have to have tests? . . . Summer vaca tion will be great. See you next week.—(JG). ommended in the past. Recom mended insecticides will control boll weevils, boll worms and aphids—all the pests that plague cotton growers. Costs are about $15 per acre or about one-half the cost of treatments recom mended last year. Insecticides or mixtures recom mended are aldrin-DDT, HBC DDT, dieldrin-DDT, endrin, guth ion-DDT, heptachlor-DDT, mala thion-DDT, methylparathion-DDT, sevin, and toxaphene-DDT. Dr. Mistric says these materials are equally effective against boll worms and susceptible bool weevils. He says guthion-DDT, sevin, and toxaphene-DDT are more effective against migrating boll weevils, however. With any of the 10 insecti cides, dosage and rate of appli cation are the same for each of the eight treatments, again mak ing for simplicity. Six gallons of spray or 15 pounds of dust per acre are recommended for each treatment. Farmers interested in more complete information on the new cotton insect control program can get it from a free publication soon to be available from county agricultural agents. BUY! Want Ads!

Peanut Growers Issued Warning Peanut producers should think twice before Using liquid and slurry treatments on their Vir ginia-type peanut seed. That’s the advice of J. C. Wells, plant pathology specialist for the N. C. State college agricultural extension service. He’s had many inquiries lately about this type of treatment. “Sufficient research informa tion is not available to make specific recommendations about use of liquid and slurry treat ments,” says Wells. Mercurial fungicides involved in the use of liquid or slurry treatments may be toxic to pea nuts, he says. They might de lay seed emergence and reduce! Bolton Native Gets New Post Jim Jones has been named: Promotional Director for the out door drama, “Horn In The West,’’ Herman W. Wilcox, executive vice president announced here to day. The appointment is to a newly created position established to promote and publicize the famous outdoor drama which is present growth of seedlings. “The use of most liquid or slurry treatments causes a rapid expansion of the seed coat,” says Wells, “which causes skin slip page in the planter.” Skin slippage is particularly severe on large-seeded varieties, he warns. It may result in ex posed. n o n-p rotected areas through which bacteria may en ter and cause seed decay. “Until more data is available on liquid and slurry treatments of peanuts, we recommend dust treatment with thlram 50 or 75 per cent,” Says Wells.
