Agriculturally Speaking Warren County Farmers Make Tour To Coker's Seed Farm By FRANK W. REAMS County Agricultural Agent BOLL WEEVILS Time to fight boll weevils. Treat four times five days apart then stop. On July 24 start treating again every five days until the weevils are gone or until the young est cotton bolls are about 30 days old. If this doesn't work, let me know and we will all go fishing hoping to forget our troubles and mistakes. TOUR In the picture above, you see the following people who went on the one day tour of Coker's Pedigreed Seed Farm located at Hartsville, S. C.: Joe H. Andrews, A. S. Bugg, C. W. Cliborne, A. J. Eiling Negro FARM AGENT NEWS LEONARD C. COOPER Negro County Agent I. W. MURFREE | Asst. Negro County Agent j THE BOLL WEEVIL MULTIPLIES Research at North Caro lina State is proving that the boll weevil is a "bug on the Igo." Farmers who^tave seen' hoards of migratory weevil? hit their cotton crop know something of the pest's mo bility. Scientists, too, have known that the boll weevil reproduces fast and spreads quickly from cotton field to cotton field. Put boll weevils in cages give them ample cotton fruit, a suitable environment, and no means of escape and they will increase 50-fold from one generation to the next. For example, 500 over-win tered weevils would produce a first generation population of 25,000 weevils. This gene ration, in turn, would pro duce 1,250,000 weevils. But how fast does the boll weevil increase under field conditions, where he frequent ly has to cope with such things as hot, dry weather and a shortage of cotton fruit? Recommendations For Combatting Beetles This is the period in which the beetles emerge from the ground and plague farmers and gardeners alike. The best way to treat for the beetles is while they are still under ground. This is the period between late July and early May. At these times, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Chlordane and Hep tachlor may be used. Soft ground which "gives" to the touch is a sign of these insects. During the emergence stage, DDT is the best preventive. But Malath ion and Sevin can also be used. The intensity of the infes tations of these beetles varies from year to year. There are other beetle* who accom panied the Japanese variety, often confused with them, which the insecticides will also control effectively. ton, E. C. Edmonds, James G. Elam, W. M.

They were I having a surplus of rain! there which was helpful in I the fancy and fast growing | crops over the entire farm. Therr. is one thing about this crowd that made the trip enjoyable, was the fact they like a good story even better than the writer. Some could be printed here most would not pass the censors. PUBLICATIONS a fil^of farm! books and similar publica :ions that some of you might tind helpful. You are wel :ome and encouraged to look Dver this list and we shall ae glad to assist you with jrders. HOBBY There is so much talk ibout use of spare time dur ing retirement thai when you hear about a good example nterest zooms to pitch point. K P. Reid, is one person in mind so several days ago I dropped by his house for i visit. He was doing exactly *>hat X felt like doing, lying back on a lounging chair lead asleep. After a short bull shooting session, including fishing news, we visited his garden, [t is well kept, not a sprig if grass anywhere but there I was an urgent need for rain, ifou might be surprised, but I Or. Walter White and Coach | Preacher Parker had adjoin- i nfi plots and I'll be doggone, fou could not find any grass Dn their plots either. Such i hobby as this does afford iome real pleasure, and, too, where can you find better 'ood? It is my opinion a per son that cannot wisely use spare time is an unhappy loul and pity to the retired person and his family who iusts sits down and does nothing but worries everyone iround him.
