BOLL WEEVIL DAMAGE.
Present weather conditions aie fa
vorable to the rapid development of
lioll weevils and if the warm, humid
condition continues damage by the in
sects will be widespread and will in
crease as the season advances.
*‘We are receiving an increased
Tiumber of inquiries askking for in-
iormation about dusting machines,”
says C. H. Brannon, extension ento
mologist at State College. “The boll
weevil is doing destructive damage
in many cotton fields and if present
weather conditions continue, we may
expect this damage to become more
widespread. However, there will be
more dusting with calcium arsenate
fc*r weevil control this year in North
Carolina than in any previous year.
Many dealers write us that this ma
terial is bein distributed in large
quantities.”
Mr. Brannon states that where the
is damaging ten per cent of
the squares, dusting should begin. A
Tt^lar dusting schedule should then
r>e followed. Mr. Brannon is positive
That the weevil can be controlled by
dusting cotton with calcium arsenate
hiA those growers who are now suf
fering damage to their crops should
tive weevil control close attention.
Proper control, in Mr. Brannon’s opin
ion. is an excellent investment and
not a dead expense as many have
rcnsidered it. If only one boll per
plant is saved by dusting, it will pay
and it is well known that careful dust
ing should save many more bolls per
riant.
But, dusting must be done right or

business is a staple business and that
the same principles should apply in
the purchase of tires as in other ne
cessities.
“Many persons who will not ‘shop
around* for clothes, for instance, be
cause they have learned that there are
standard brands, of national reputa
tion, which will give them long wear,
will seek a tire of questionable value
because they can get it at a ‘good
price.*
“Consequently, many are talked
into buying something ‘just as good,*
because fancy promises and guaran
tees are held out to them.
“Our company handles the complete
line of Goodyear automobile and truck
tires, nationally known and accepted
products, and our strongest selling
point is that more people ride on
Goodyear tires than on any other

kind*
“We do not give any fancy guaran
tees and our prices are the same to
all. But we do have a tire, made by
Goodyear, in every price range that
is the best tire that money can buy.
We give complete service to our cuib-
tomers and our interest in them does
not cease after they have bought a
tire, or a set of tires, from us.. We
are concerned that they get as much
mileage as possible and help them do
this by advice and help as to the care
of their tires.
“That our policies are right in this
respect is evidenced by the large num
ber of customers who have been deal
ing with us for years—automobile
and truck owners who would rather
get high quality and good service
than buy on price consideration
alone.

“Too many motorists who are oth

to get away from fundamentals when
they buy tires for their cars,** said
Mr. Richardson, Goodyear service sta
tion operator at Lakeview.
“They are not fooled by the allur
ing promises held out for some arti
cles and have learned that they can
not get something for nothing. The
careful shopper knows that he must
pay a certain price for quality in any
staple product—and service is the
most important consideration in his
mind.
