Crop Conditions: Early planted
cotton in most southern and cen
tral counties is up to a good stand
and m^y fields are showing
young squares. Later planted cot
ton in the central and more
northern areas has suffered from
the drought and has made little
growth in the past week. The
stand is not good in many fields.
Rains fell in many parts of the
state over the week end, and the
crop has responded in the parti
cular areas but in' most counties
^many sections did not receive any
noisture. All crops in these areas
are in serious need of rain.

Insect Activity: The dry and
hot weather continues to have a
marked influence on various in
sect pests.
Aphids and Thrips: Aphids
were very abundant in southern
and eastern counties last week but
natural eitemies and the dry
weather have teamed up against
them and the infestations are
much reduced. Fields in the more
northern areas showed a number
of pests but little severe damage
was noted this week.
Thrips are still delaying plant
development in many fields, es
pecially in the south-central area,
though spme fields with earlier
infestations seem to be recover
ing satisfactorily. Early ajiplica-
tions directed primarily against
weevils may in addition reduce
thrips and hence result in more
rapid plant development. Deve
lopment of this pest, especially on-
cotton, should be watched care
fully.
Boll Weevils: Development at
Florence, S. C. as compared with
previous years is at a low ebb.
Mr. Fife reported no activity in
the :rap plot as late as June 6.
There is some field activity, how
ever, in the Florence area. Mr.
Rabb ;nd county agents from the
Charlotte - Shelby, Laurinburg -
Lumberton, Fayetteville - Clinton
and Smithfield - Raleigh areas in-
dica-3 a fairly uniform light in-
festE'.lon i.n the earlier fields,
aver.aging about- 1 weevil to each
100 plants.' Fields, however, in
the ■'.Vilson - Greenville and the
Halifax - Warrenlon areas show-'
ed only a very few weevils. In
Northampton • and Edgecombe
Cour.ties only 6 weevils v. Ore
found in 18 fields.
Treatment: Several growers in 1
the southern areas began , treat
ments about June 5. Growers as
far north as Clinton and Raleigh
made their first application by
June 8 to 12.. Growers in the m.ore
northern areas should check their
fields closely a's weevils may be ;
in numbers to justify treatments
by the 15th to I8th. County
Agents in many counties are lo
cating fields which will be ex
amined each week throughout the
season. Applications are advisable
even before squaring when wee
vils are present at the approxi-.
mate rate of - to 100 plants and
if. some-weeviLinjury is noted on
young terminals. Both criteria
should be used in evaluation of
extent of infestation. Several fac
tors must be considered in de
termining the time for the first
treatment; therefore, hard-fast
rules are difficult if not unwise
to make; however, the above re
commendations seem to be rea
sonable under this year’s condi
tions. Check your fields for wee
vils. They will be found in the
young leaves and terminal buds.
The scattered rains and the dry
weather make tocal conditions
vary a great deal. Contact your
county agent or watch local pap
ers and news releases for infor
mation as to your locality.

II NIYER BUILDS UP
IN THE FRieZB CHEST OP A
T hese folks are enjoying something that’s being
pioneered by Buick.
It’s freedom from the blinding glare of bright
summer sunlight.
It’s freedom from hot laps—caused by the sun’s rays
beating down through the broad expanse of
windshield.
These freedoms trace to a new feature you may
have noticed in ’51 Buicks—a new kind of glasst
with a cool, soft, blue-green tint, in every glass area
of the car, front, side and back.
Buick engineers tell us that this "Buick first”
reduces glare 18% over conventional glass—cuts
sun heat as much as 45%—and Buick engineers are
very conservative fellows.
This glare-and-heat-reducing Easy-eye glass is
factory-installed at moderate extra charge. It gives
you a built-in transparent "sun visor” right in the
windshield—and it also dulls the dazzle of oncom
ing headlights at night.
As we’ve said, this is something Buick ||
owners were the first to enjoy. It takes
