Wake Farm Agent Says Weevil Infestation
Heavy in This Area, Gives Treatment Data
By John L. Reitzel
801 l weevil infestation through
out the counrty on several farms
which have been checked by the
County Agents Office reveals that
the population is high enough that
farmers should begin dusting on
most farms. It is recommended that
farmers begin dusting when or be
fore the boll weevil infestation
reaches 10 per cent. This 10 per
cent infestation is determined by
pulling at random 100 shapes
throughout the field and inspect
the shapes fpr punctures. When
10 or more are found punctured
dusting should begin. On several
Square Dealers, Scribes Tied for Lead
The Zebulon Record Scribes and
Ed Hales’ Square Dealers ended
this week’s softball play in a dead
lock for first place with three vic
tories and one defeat each. The
Scribes toppled the Dealers from
first place Tuesday, 3-2, but the
Dealers roared *back to a tie for
the lead by winning over the
Woodchoppers Wednesday.
Tuesday’s game proved the best
of the season, as Carlton Mitchell

farms dusting has already started.
The same materials which were
recommended last year are again
being used. Benzene Hexachloride
used at the rate of not less than
10 pounds per acre gave good re
sults last year and is again very
highly recommended. This dust
should contain at least 3 per cent
gamma isomer plus 5 per cent D
DT.
Another material which was us
ed last year and is again recom
mended is Chlorinated Camphene
(Toxaphene). For boll weevil con
trol a 20 per cent Toxaphene is
recommended. The rate of appli
fanned nine and scattered seven
hits to win for the Scribes. Harold
Greene pitched for the Dealers, al
lowing only six hits.
The Scribes scored once in the
first inning, but the Dealers put
together two hits and two errors
for two runs in the same inning.
In the third the Scribes collected
two runs off two hits and a walk
to win the game.

acre, depending on the size of the
cotton. *
These two materials can be dis*
tributed by horse drawn dusters,
tractor dusters, or airplanes.
Applications should be made
every 4 to 5 days until the boll
weevil is under control and then
close inspection as to boll weevil
population is recommended.
Farmers expecting to secure a
reasonable yield of cotton this year
are encouraged to use boll weevil
treatments since all indications
point to a high infestation of boll
weevils this year.
choppers proved stronger than ex
pected as they battled the Square
Dealers all the way on Wednesday.
Errors proved too much for the
Choppers, however, as the Square
Dealers made five runs in the first,
one in the third, and three more in
the seventh to win, 9-5. Allen
Greene was the winning pitcher.

Confidence Shown
In Street Program
By Commissioners
The Zebulon Board of Commis
sioners, who unanimously approv
ed the ordinance submitting a $70,-
000 bond issue to a vote of the citi
zens of Zebulon, this week express
ed themselves as confident the
proposal will pass on August 2 by
a large majority.
The five commissioners, all o f
whom live on paved streets, de
clared that the condition of Zebu
lon’s streets is a disgrace to a
progressive town, and they felt
that even those voters who live
on paved streets would vote to help
their neighbors.
Town taxes will not be raised
to pay for the interest or principal
of the bonds, the commissioners
emphasized. The present rate is
sufficient to repay all money bor
rowed.
The financial condition of the
town has been investigated and an
audit made of its assets and liabili
ties. This audit is in the town of
fice fcr inspection by anyone in
terested.
The issuance of the bonds was
endorsed by the Zebulon Chamber
of Commerce at a memoership
meeting held last month.
