I do not know how many counlic*
of the Slate are now inf fa ted with
boll weevil. I do not know the degree
of infestation of any country where
the presence of the weevil is admitted
But I do know that the infestation is
greater than ninety five per rent of
th. people believe, including the far
mars whose fields are now falling be
fore the Weevil onslaught
In my home county, Union, on the
South Carolina border, the infestation
is in its, second year An active cam
paign hod tingn made in thcountry
to impress upo n the people the need
ojf, using every possible means of fight
Ing the weevil this year. Many heed
ed the warning, many did not Some
farmers said that we had always had
the same little old hugs and they had
never hurt much yet Many of the
more simple minded, white and black
said that if the insects came they
would be sent by Ood for a purpose
and there was no use to kick.
Hut the intelligent farmers who saw
th® real situation and did not consider
the warning a mere bugaboo, went to
work. They succeeded no well that in
July the State entomologist visited
the county and declared the dam
age would bs much less than he had
supposed possible. Farmers and busi
ness men began to breathe easier and
feel more hopeful, But the later on
alaughts of the insect, due to the fact
that So many people did not heed the
warning and fight along with their
neighbors, hav, changed this, and to i
day no od« pretend* to know what the j
damage will he in the county Os

w**vil does not reach hm maximum

similarly affected, will thin year an*- j
lain a damage- of fifty per cent It doe* ■
not* seem probable that it can bo ao;
groat in Union county thi* year, but
noit year th# damage will b r com
plete union* the fighting begin* now
and there U no lot up whatever.
The Weevil Can Be It'aten
Thr fir»t hopeful fact i* that the j
weevil can be beate.n if the farmer*
are willing to expend th,. labor and the;
intelligence required to acc impliah
that end. The catastrophe i* going
to be *o pronounced in tho#r countie*

up next year In »uch counties no

will not agree to fight the weevil a*

r 1 n •
SOME SUGGESTIONS
RELATIVE TO CHANCE
“A number of fields in Wayne county
have begun to ihow the effects of the
boll weevil and the farmer* have be
gun to realise that they are here," say*
K W Ggjyher. district agent. "Few have
realised that from now on farming
■> in this section Will not be done under
i the >anie condition* that it has been j
done in ttye past Many farmers and
business men will not-realize this until j
they have bumped up against the same j
( conditions that have fared every section !
j invaded from the time the weevil cross- j
ed the Rio Grande until it reached
Wayne county.
“The wise farmer and the wise bu*i
nes* inan will profit by the experience j
of others and begin right now if he j
ha* not already begun to get his busi
| nes* in order to meet conditions as they
are sure to be when a full crop is plant- j
ed and from a half to two thirds of a 1
crop i* harvested at the cost of a full
j crop." he continued.
"History has shown that food, feed, i
and forage crops with live stock to con j
nume these crops has always been the
solution of the boll weevil problem and
this is a> sure to be the solution in ;
Wayne county as it has been in other
sections where the problem has been
1 solved.
t'nwlse to Jump. Though.
"It w»| be very unwise for farmers
to jump into some untried crop, such
a* truck, sweet potatoes, corn or any
thing els# on a big scal« before he
has gained, experience with these crops.
M ‘Going into Live Stock’ will be as
disastrous as going into watermelons or
pwUHweo. if wot more ao. wit hoot first
gaining the experience
‘ Pastures an* the first essential in
the chaqge. After pastures come* grain
and forag*- crops for stock feed, then 1
the live stock, hop* and poultry should 1
be the first form* of commercial live 1
1 stock to consider/* for the reason that i
they are both being Raised in Wayne j
I county and on practically every farm !
S Each farm can easily increase their
| flock of hens by fifty and the hogs by j
j one or two good brood sows. If prop- }
j « rl y housed and fed with ordinary care ’
! each hen will produce a net income of |
$1 Mi per year in eggs and nine week*
old broilers, properly fed and eared for, )
hatched at the proper time will bring
' from fr4.«o»-nts to 90 rent* and furnish }
<i good market for grain grown on the |
, farm.
*lt hai. been demonstrated on a large,
number of Eastern North Carolina!
, farms this season that hog* can be j
made to produce gains at fi rents per j
pound and be sold for from ty cent- to
II cents per pound live weight. Any’
farmer in Wayrtie county can do this if
he wants to.
Importance of Milk < ow.
"There are 110,000 farm* in Eastern t
North Carolina without a milk cow and
a* many families without a home milk j
supply, the town* are all under sup j
plied with milk and other dairy pro I
duct* The family cow is the basis of
a profitable dairy industry in this sec !
lion and will make the school house of'
the future dairy man and the founda j
tion of what ever measure of farm j
prosperity that will come to the sec j
i tion. t
“The row will furnish a market for *
.* large quantity roughage, gram and |
grasses and give a handsome return
even if the milk ts sold as sour cream ,
during the development period, until
, there are enough cow* to justify a
creamery
"These things will a I be taken into !
account in the future when extension
of credit is asked for by farmers ami
fitlftine»« men arid the earlier a study
is made of these as credit factors thi
better it will be for all concerned
“This readjustment will mean, not a
’light i hut m revolution in the
till •! tl n A
