Discovery Of Witchweed In Sampson County Brings Inspectors To Duplin is L.AV i", Shown attending the two-day forestry meeting in Wilmington, N. O, for members of the Soil Conservation Service and Agricultural Extension Service, are V. H. Reynolds fend G. V. Penny. The meet ing is sponsored by the Sou'.: 9;n IVpwood Conservation Assiv ' " . Duplin County farmers were warned today by County Farm Ag ent Vernon Reynolds to be on the look out for possible witchweed growths in their fields. . Reynolds said that Sampson County Farm Agent Frank Harris hat notified him that witchweed hat been found on a farm near Turkey which is near the northwest tide of Duplin County. 'Any farmer who has plots where grass, corn, sorghums and other such plants are stunted or dying from an undetermined cause should contact the Farm Agents office at once.' Reynolds said. A survey ef Dnplln County Farms to determine If there are any infest ed fields by witchweed in the Coun ty got underway today, v". Grover UsseU, with the U S. Department of Agrlcultnre, said that 37 easet of wttehweed -have been discovered in Sampson and that the ponibUlty of - witchweed being found la DnpUn County la very teed. V- 1 t C-J The dreaded parasite is a killer, ft attacks corn sad ether sach crops. Any farmer .thinking, he hat st r x o g's -i should notify Vernon Reynolds at the Agrlcultnre Building in Ken ansville, Immediately, Uuell points ont that it It Important to know where the witchweed is while it Is In Its first and yoang stages. We want to keep it front spreading,' he said. He added that farmers should fnot bring in the plants when there is a question of witchweed. The chance of spreading the dreaded di sease is too great to take a chance. Witchweed, parasite which thrives on the roots of certain plants, was first discovered in the Western Hemisphere in the Caro Unas. With the definite discovery of witchweed in Sampson County, it means that counties now infested are Bladen, Columbus, Cumberland, and Robeson Counties in North Carolina and Dillon, Horry Marion and Marlboro Counties in South Carolina. The recent discoveries of witch weed have been in Scotland, Hoke, Harnett and Sampson Counties, ac oording to Grover Uxxell, with the TJ. a Department of Agriculture. The 'iiweed plant it very at tractive. Some home owners tried ' growing it as a potted plant when : it was first discovered and before identification was made, Reynold said. It has bright red and yellowish: flowers and an attractive green fol iage. After the attempts were mada- to grow witchweed in pots, it woe- learned that it will die once take. . away from its host plant. Damage to corn has been exten sive in some areas where attacked by witchweed. It attaches itself to- ' roots and penetrates roots of the host plants. Symptoms resemble-; those produced by acute drought. Reynolds said. The plants become- ) stunted, wilt, and turn yellow isb. - i 'I would like to emphasize the importance of farmers notifying -the Farm office in cases- where they ' ' have doubt,' Reynolds said. 'If it ir r witchweed, we can go about trying to control it and keep It fteona , spreading.' - 1 , In a bulletin released" by the U. 8.
