Page Six Union Man Leading In Wheat Growing A Union County farmer, Cam T. Cook of Route 5, Monroe, cur rently is leasing in a contest to de termine the 1949 wheat-growing champion of North Carolina, ac cording to Dr. E. R. Collins, in charge of agronomy extension at State College. Cook produced 128.5 bushels of the new Atlas wheat on four acres of land his average yield being 34.1 ’ jlfsshels per acre or approximately double the State average. Any farmer in the State is eligi ble to enter the contest, Dr. Collins said. Growers should ask county agents to have their yields checked, so that all records may be complet ed and forwarded to State College by July 15. Although no prize has been set up for the State champion, town ship winners in each county will be given first chance to buy six bushels of Atlas 66 wheat recently released by the Agricultural Ex periment Station.

S. Department of Agriculture and the Extion Service of the Clemson Ag ricultural College, Clemson, S. C. In a brief foreword, Dr. I. O. Schaub, director of the Extension Service, asserts that control of in sects is very important to the effi cient production of cotton in North Carolina, since about 17 per cent of the crop is annually destroyed by insects. “If cotton is to continue as one of the major crops in the economy of North Carolina,” Schaub de clares, “the cost of production must be lowered and more efficient pro duction practies must be follow ed.” The insects which are pictured and described are the boll weevil, boilworm, red spider, plant louse (aphid), flea hopper, and leaf worm. A handy insecticide table gives recommended treatment for these pests. Kulash emphasizes, however, that use of chemicals should be considered only as a help to the program of good farm partcices in cotton production.
