"T, .f4, TUT -". 1 " ' ' ' The humor expressed on the faces of the tobacco growers in this photograph is not whole hearted, but rather wry. The reason is on the well-chewed stalk of tobacco before" them horned worms, of a devastating degree of infestation in their community near Beulaville In Duplin County. They are Ervin Quinn, left, and Woodrow Thigpen. This tobacco is Quinn's, but Thigpen claims the worm in festation of his crop is worse; he reported a count of 42 worms on a single stalk of tobacco. Despite aerial dusting of the afflicted crop with 30 pounds of 10 per cent Rhothane to the acre, the threat continues, and some growers says that the damage from the worms, and from flea bugs mat perforate tha leaves, will be 20 ner cent. : .

Duplin Schools Expecting Record Enrollment As Plans Shape For opening Enrollment last year in Duplin County schools exceeded that of any previous year, Superintendent O. P. Johnson announced last week Mr. Johnson said that the to tal number of pupils in county schools, both white and colored, for 1950-51, was 11,502. This ex ceeded the 1949-50 enrollment by exactly 600, a five per cent increase the superintendent said. He predicted that there may be nearly 12,000 in school this fall but doubted if that figure would actually be reached. Most of the increase, he added, was in the white sqbools. During the past school year there were 2,506 high school pupils and 8,996 grammar grades. The year before 2,304 were, in high school and 8,598 in the elementary schools Broken down still more, .the fig ures show that there were about one-third more white pupils than colored pupils in 1950-51. Totals were 6.984 white and 4,491 colored. In both instances there were about llorth Carolina Builds l!ev Rc:fc RALEIGH, .
