. mUBSDAir, JUNi^5,1952 TBB MUnMOlIBIfAL ■ ; ■' . By The County Farm Asent (0 . Cottm iDiieet Conditions Boll wOevil emergence is earlier this year than last. L. C. Fife, USDAI Entomologist at Florence, S. C., reports that 262 weeyils had emerged from hibernation cages by May 23. This compares with none at the same , time last year and 413 in 1950. In the Florence area last week weevils were found in 23 out of.. 61 fields at rates ranging from zero to 480 per acre. During the week ending May 31, several fields of cotton were checked in Hoke Coimty and in festations in these fields range from zero to 3%. On Monday of this week, three field were check ed in different sections of the cotmty and infestations ran 6%, '3%, and zero. This was a slight increase over last week. Some of the older cotton in the county is now putting on squares, and in some fields squares are large enough for damage by wee- vilB. Plant lice are still prevalent in a lot of cotton fields but with waimner weather and an increase in the number of beneficial in sects there is little damage from this pest. Damaging weevil infestations can build up from light initial populations imder favorable wea ther conditions. Growers are urg ed to check their fields regularly and be prepared to treat at squaring according to recommen dations. Each year, thousaivds of bushels of small'grain, are destroyed or made useless as a result of insect damage. Cleaning out bins or cribs and treating them with the rec ommended materials will aid greatly in reducing these losses caused by insects. Small Grain storage on the farm: It is not too early to plan storage for small grains. Most small grains may be infested in the field, how ever, the most common pest dur ing 1951 was the “white worm” seen in the grain in bins during late summer. This insect, udilch is known as the Cadelle beetle, and its larvae develope in the walls and cracks in the bins. A spray treatment which would wet the walls and floor, applied while the bin is empty will go a long way toward the eliminatoin of this pest. Cleaning up of all cribs and bins during late spring and shell ing the old corn is a must if far mers in North Carolina expect to improve their storage problem. Millers cannot make first class meal nor flour and grits infested grains. Livestock may ‘refuse to eat damaged products. Spray Materials: Of the materials available for treatment of the crib 50% wett- able powders of DDT, TDE or methoxychlor may be used in a hand garden sprayer at the rate of Vz pound to each 11-2 gallons of water. This quantity will oover ■k NOW IS THE TIME . Don*t wait until it is too late. Stare Dusting your crops today. Get yours while we have a good supply of: api>roximately 790 aq. ft. of wall and floor surface or treat a crib 20 feet square and 8 feet deep. All of these materials are available as a 25% emulsion and can be used satisfactorily in making a spray. One would use 1 quart of either one of the emulsions in the 1% gallons of water and apply to approximately 750 sq. ft. of sur face. All of these materials will leave a residue on the walls which will remain effective for several weeks. The amount used will not create a human hazard if used only on the walls and floor of the cribs. A third mixture which is even less hazardous from the human standpoint contains 0.1 pyrethrum and 1.0% piperonyl butoxide by weight. It is quite satisfactory even though it does not leave as long lasting residue as the above materials. When using any of the above mixtures apply enough spray to wet the walls without running off. • Dusters ^ Arsenate of Lead Paris Green Garden Dust Insect Spray 0 Lime 0 50% 3 D’s Wettable Dust for Tobacco 0 Tobacco Twine (At A Good Price) 0 Spray Guns Wright Currie Hardware | balf-billkm dollar cut; the third a 400-million dollar reduction. The fourth Would have reduced ECA funds by 500 million. I voted for all of these cuts be cause I feel it is time the Congress begin thinking about the impact of these huge expenditures on the taxpayers of America. In the printed report of the committee, there were two sen tences which were quite interest ing to me. I think you will be in terested also. Here they are: “It learned that in some coun tries the recipient governments are contributing NOTHING to the program. One of the Administra tion witnesses testified that “im- der certain circumstances . . . . nothing is a fair share’.” % s BELTON WRIGHT INCORPORATED PHONE 6906 ’ FRANK CURRIE = Washington—^All last week, we had before the Senate the so- called “foreign aid bill.” The ori ginal proposal, as you will recall, was, that the Congress appropriate 7 billion, 900 million dollars for foreign aid. The request, of course, was made by the President. Debate on this matter extended the Senate sessions well into the evening. Wednesday night, for example, the Senate stopped work at 9 o’clock. The House of Representatives, in its consideration of the matter, reduced the appropriation to 6 billion, 900 million—cutting off the sum of one billion dollars. The bill then came to the Senate and has been the sut>ject of consider able controversy^ More Cuts Asked Several amendments were offer ed, the first one'to reduce the ap propriation by still anotl^er billion dollars. The second ond asked a Ilf ,. HELPING TO BUILD A ■ere is a picture of a truly "Finer Carolina." These graduates are our stakes in the future. They are the future leaders and builders of our state and our nation. Their mental and physical training should be the very* best that can be provided in every town and city. Many towns entered in the "Finer Carolina" program have se lected to build better schools . . . lunchrooms . . . play grounds and other similar projects, designed to make their town a better place for young people. All of these towns are working to win one of tKe ca'sE prizes offefed by the Carolina Power & Light Company in the contest. Actually, by im proving school facilities, they are winning a far greater award . ^ knowledge that their children are receiving the best in evory way; the best with which to develop their talents and possibilities. Your town Con Jpe G better town if you work toward such a project. Your town con be " Una's Finest" ». . npt just for this contest, but for the Futurel ( CAROLINA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY^ Our Job Alone In other words, that statement shows that some of our govern ment officials do not think that the foreign governments which are receiving our help ought to contribute anprthing to match the economic and technical assistance we are providing for them. In considering this matter of foreign aid, it was interesting to note the trend in the way we are being asked to appropriate vast sums of money. In tihe case of the armed forces, there is at present a total of 54 billion dollars already appropriated in prior years—which has not yet been spent. Of course, most of this money is committed and will actually be spent in the next year or two. There was no suggestion of cutting that part of the program. foreign nations have made freat- er progreia than was oriffBallj cooteropiated, and when those na tions are failing to contribute any thing to their own defense and stability—then it seems to me that it is about time for us to apply the brakes to our give-away program. Of course there is a lot of hys teria and fear whipped up by die bureaucrats, who prophesy doom on one hand if every one of their suggestions is not carried out, and perfect peace on the other hand if only their suggestions are fol lowed. As Senator Paul Douglas, a pro fessional economist, pointed out, it will do us little good as a nation to spend untold billions for foreign aid If, in dioftgg so^ we desCmsr ( own fundamcBtnl economy, Hi then we wiD be paying ddtccUp ^ into the hands e ftaBn, That, «f course, is exactly what BhOiftf regime hopes and thinks we wffi do. No one can understand Ihe tnse situation of approfwiatlotis tmfeai he studies and reads Die hearinga and the reports of the committees, and really leams wdiere and hour our money is being spent. Above an, nobody should ac cept without question the word of any bureaucrat who makes its his main business to sell the public on the idea of spending more and more money. HOT WEATHER NEEDS Mutual Aid In the mutual aid program which was under consideration, there was a difference of opinion as to whether the unspent funds appropriated previously totaled 4 or 6^ billion. To a lot of govern ment spenders, a billion or two dollars is a small matter to pay any attention to. But I felt that a billion Or two dollars cut off the proposals for aid to foreign countries, if cut at the right places, would certainly be a step in the right direction. This foreign aid program is by no, means the largest spending proposal for the coming year. In addition to this, plans are to spend about 65 other billions of. dollars in the coming year. So, you see, the government spenders have ra ther expensive plans to continue their reckless spending policies. Of course, they are assuring you that it all is an absolute necessity — it’s all in the name and the guise of “national defense.” ^ 1-Gal. Thermos Jugs # 2-Gal.
