Davis Sons, Publishers number of weevils per 100 plants was 12, almost 12 times as many as one year ago. In most areas cotton is unusu ally small for this time of the season; only in the southernmost counties were any squares found. But even in this small cotton more weevils were found than in any previous year on record. Because of the large number of weevils now in the fields poison ing is strongly advised, even though squares are not yet formed. Weevil damage to young plants, before squares are formed, has resulted in killing of termi nal growth. Young squares have been damaged in many fields, causing “bushy” plants. Heavy weevil infestation will cause se vere damage to forming squares. Should I Man Now It will also be important to keep applications on regularly through out the June-July squar ing period. It appears that all rowers who plan to have a suc cessful cotton season must plan now to carry out a well-planned 'nscct control program, the ento mologist stated. Dusting and graying has already begun in many areas. Although Wake County was one jof the two counties where some | fields were found free of boll ; weevils, Johnston, Franklin, and ~ri ’son all had weevils in every field where an examination was made. l ewis Reunion Held On Sunday, June 11 The annual family reunion of the late Mr. and Mrs. M.
