DUST COTTON TO [ CONTROL WEEVIL! I I I L BY C. H. BRANNON, \ 1 . I North Carolina State College i There appears to be much con fusion, misinformation and hearsay in regard to boll weevil control methods. Many cotton farmers write ; in, asking if a pre-square applica-. tion should be made, and if mop-' ping with the molasses poison mix.. * ture should be used. Many people | have the idea that all (or prac„| tically all) of the weevil can be j poisoned early in the season, thus i preventing severe damage later, j This sounds good on paper but it l Anight of broken rest followed by hours of mental or physical strain; nerves tensed almost to the breaking point; irritable; unable to concentrate —an- other hectic night and mis erable day ahead of you. Why endure it? Dr. Miles' Nervine quiets the nerves, brings calm and poise, and permits re freshing sleep. Dr. Miles' Nervine is now made in two forms—Liquid and Effervescent Tablet. Both are the same therapeutically. ) Large Package SI.OO DR.MIUESV' . TABLETS f Security Insurance \ & Realty Company t . Agents t GENERAL INSURANCE | Forest City, N.

Most of the weevil coming out of winter quarters die before they can lay eggs . If no cotton is up these weevils live on an aveiage of less than a week. After the co:- ton. comes uj), the over-wintered weevil feed on the growing tip and live on an average of a little over two weeks. No poisoning operation will kill 100 per cent of the weevil in the field and since only a very small per cent of the weevil live Ion?., enough to cause damage, there is a question as to whether a sufficient number of weevil (living long enough Jto cause damage) will be killed to i pay for the trouble. The cotton council of the South ern Agricultural Workers issues the following statement: • "One pre-square poisoning may be i applied if it appears that there are j numerous over-wintered weevil ,'ent. Then apply the regular dusting ! schedule . . . This coucil does • not urge anyone to apply presquare | applications. I For those who must make a pre j square application, the regular cal | cium arsenate dust is just as af ; fective and great deal easier to ! apply than the molasses mixture.: The United State department of ag riculture advises as follews. "Either calcium arsenate dust or a mixture of calcium arsenate and molasses may be used for the pre square treatment. The pre-square treatment should be given only on those fields .where the over-wintered weevils are unusually abundant in the early spring." If dust is used it should be applied at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds per acre - as a pre-square application. 1 j In applying the molasses mixture j use 1 pound of calcium arsenate • o ione gallon of water and one gallon j 0 f molasses (table syrup preferred) j thoroughly mixed together and ap ! plied to the plants not more than J4B hours after mixing. Apply at rate fof one gallon per acre. This is only Used as a pre-square application. | As you can readily see from the I above statement neither the cotton j council or the United States depart ' ment of agriculture makes any state ment urging the use of pre-square ! applications. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1930. bostic wins first game of season Bostic, Apr. 21.—The Bostic team won the opening game of the season, on the home diamond Saturday, de feating the strong Tryon club by score of nine and three. Though the game was more interesting than the score indicates. The whole Bostic team play ed an excellent game. Led by their youthful manager Steve Kirksey who pitched a nice game, allowing but six scattered hits and never being in danger. Kirksey also struck out nine of the visiting players. Holli field tripled for the longest hit of the game. A driving catch by Brady in left field featured also. The two teams play in Columbus on Satur day, April 26th. A LESSON FROM HISTORY. Forty, fifty or more years ago when our forefathers were busily engaged in the task of transforming a wilderness into the civilized and happy land that is ours today, the spirit of cooperation reigned supre me. Old timers will often tell you a boirt it, and about how happy they were in those days. When the new settler was ready to erect his house or barn, the neighbors from miles n ' round assembled and made short work of the job. When threshing time came on, all the men in the community banded together and helped each other. We have all heard of husking bees and wood chopping bees. And most of us agree that that was really the golden age of co-op eration in this country. As a result of this spirit and the hardihood of the men who settled this nation, we have passed from a simple pioneer community into a complex modern society within the lifetime of a single man. The amaz ing progress made in this country is one of the gi-eatest of all phenomena of history. It took other nations ages to de velop high civilizations and fine cul tures. It took ours but a few gen erations. We believe that the co-op erative spirit that ruled the lives of oulr forefathers is largely responsible. This is why the editor feels that there is no limit to what might be accomplished in Forest City if our citizens would imbibe some of that co-operative spirit that made for the notable accomplishments of our pre decessors. Forget the petty grievance, the prejudice, or envy you hold toward other active citizens in the commu nity. Work ardently with those who are striving to make Forest City a better and finer town in which to live: and notable and worth-while accom plishment will be the result, as it al ways has been the result of co op rative effort. TO, BEAUTIFY OUR CITY. A service club in a little commu nity similar to Forest City sponsor ed a "Better Yards and Gardens Contest" last year. Prizes in cash and merchandise were awarded to home owners who accomplished most in making their own premises at ti active. Awards were made by com petent judges on the basis of land scape work, cleanliness and neatness, original results produced at small cost. Two classifications were set a side based upon assessed valuation so that the small home owner might not be forced to compete with his wealthy neighbor who could .afford to place more effort in gardening his premises. It aroused much interest and en thusiasm, according to reports re.- ceived by the writer. People exhibit ed great interest, in keeping their lawns cut, in planting trees, and in beautifying their gardens. A friend ly competition was established and the results to the community as a ! whole were noticeable. This, we believe, is one of the most effective of all methods of beautifying a community. A town, after all, consists of the homes. Beautifying the town means beauti - fying its homes. And this work is stimulated by the contest. Here we feel is an idea worthy of consideration here in Forest City. Before the spring is really started we suggest that some of our local citizens get together and map out a plan for promoting such a contest. It must be worked out carefully. The awards and method of handling all details should be announced only af ter a study of the experiences of other communities have been taken into consideration. But even though the job involves much effort, it is a worthy cause. We hope that something along this line may be accomplished in Forest City this season. There is many an untied knot in a cord of wood. MACREADY PLANS'TOUR*OrPACIFICi I * | .. . I ' •• 4s U I Macready flv lag his special plant* above **--- —"" tht* Sis.

(Herbert Photos.) | KEEPING THE WOLF AWAY. Much is said by hopeful people a bout the possibility of abolishing poverty from this land of plenty. It ought to be done. But to accomplish that, a lot of folks will have to be gin early on their policy of thrift. If they act like spendthrifts all through their early youth, poverty will probably follow them like the traditional wolf at the door. Every winter there are many peo ple who are close to the wall, and who can hear the wolf scratching quite fiercely at. their door. Many of them never began to wrestle with that old wolf until a too late date. , To abolish poverty, people need to, begin as boys and girls. Many schools start them in a course of saving mon ey at an early age, and they form such habits of economy and prudence that the old wolf will never get them. But there are others, probably more of them, who as young people spend money very extravangently, at least 5' aj All Washed and Greased and Filled With I Our Better Grade Oil 0 3 g If it is Service and Satisfaction you want, give us a call, a n. —— 3 a ANNOUNCEMENT 3 a We have purchased the Fletcher Auto Service Co., on Cherry a Mt.
