COTTON CROP TO FARE BADLY IN NORTH CAROLINA Farm Experts Say Weather During Winter Too Mild To Kill Weevils Raleigh, June 11.—Indications point to an unusually heavy boll wee vil infestation this Summer, as ap proximately twenty per cent of the boll weevils that went into Winter quarters last Fall survived the mild Winter, according to observations made by the entomologists of the State Department of Agriculture at the Aberdeen laboratory, it was an nounced today. _ ... This mean that about nine times as many survived the Winter of 1928 and 1929 as survived the Winter of 192f and 1928, "and 122 times as many as survived the previous Win ter. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the survival was 25 times as great as during the Winter of '25-'26. The initial infestation on cotton in the field should, therefore, be much heavier than for any year since the weevil entered the State. This does not necessarily mean that the cotton will be overrun by boll weevils and completely destroy ed in late summer, because a hot and dry. Summer could prevent the nor mal rapid rate of increase; but it does mean that the early forms on the bottom of the cotton plant will likely be destroyed, unless conrtol measures are adopted by cotton grow It is suggested by entomogolists that cotton be mopped with a poison molasses mixture, or that it be dust ed with calcium arsenate before the first forms appear, in order to kill off some of the weevils. This conrtol measure would be worth following more than ever. The unusual survival of weevils is regarded as due to the mild Win ter. Farmers and fruit growers gen erally, it was pointed out at the de partment, are finding insects more troublesome this year, such insects as the peach curculio and Mexican bean beetle being unusually preva lent.

About 12 o'clock Thursday the fire truck and the advertising car was driven through the streets to call the people out for the making of the moving picture. By 12:30 an im mense throng had gathered upon the street in front of the park to take part in the making *)f Forest City's i first motion and sound picture. In the crowd were numbers of school children with their banners, and the i balance of the crowd was made up of j the men and women of the city. j After being given minute instruc tions by the Pathe director, the mak jing of the picture was begun with i Mayor Pro-Tem. G. B. Harrill bid ding the delegates good-bye and God speed. Chas. Z. Flack, president of the Kiwanis Club and official dele gate to the Milwaukee convention was absent on account of illness. Rev. G. R. Gillespie and M. H. Hewitt were present, however, and received the Mayor's Godspeed fcnd good-bye. The car . was officially christened by Miss Hazel Harrill amid the plaudits of the crowd. After this ceremony, the car was driven through the crowd, followed by the fire truck and crew, through a lane of shouting people.
