FARM ITEMS
Connty Agent
Manj- farmers in the county are
now wondering whether to stop
dusting or spraying cotton or to
make 1 or 2 more applications.
In about every cotton field now
there are many weevils at work.
In fields where there are a lot of
young bolls there is a lot of dam
age being done at this time. How
ever, many fields are fairly safe
from much weevil damage w^hile
others need at least 1 or 2 more
applications of poison.
In young or late cotton, there
is a definite need for more treat
ments. Some of tl?is cotton is still
fruiting and treatments should
be continued until a crop safe
from weevil damage is assured.
One of the greatest threats to
the cotton at present is damage
from the boll worm. Observations
this week show that there is an
increase of this pest since last
week Bollworm moths are quite
noticeable in cotton fields now
and with favorable weather con
ditions for development, they
could cause considerable damage.
Treatment for boll weevil
should hold the bollworm popu
lation in check. If the infestation
is not checked, increase dosage
applications to 15 pounds per
acre of 3-5-0 or 3-5-40 or 20%
Toxaphene, or use 2 applications
of 10% DDT dust at 10 pounds
per acre at 5 day intervals. Fields
^ould be watched closely for in
festations an dtreatments made
to control them if necessary.

4-H Boys Tour
Pig Chain Projects
(By the Coimty Agent)
A project of much interest to
some of the rural boys in the
county is the purebred pig chain
project that is sponsored by Sears
and Roebuck Foimdation. This
project was started in December,
1951, with seven club boys re
ceiving purebred gilts. The pur
pose of the pig chain project is
to help boys secure good breed
ing stock and give them practical
experience in feeding and man
agement of swine. Pig chains of
this nature have been in opera
tion in counties throughout North
Carolina for a number of years
and are playing an important role
in the development of the swine
industry.
On Wednesday, July 9, 4-H club
members toured the projects of
each club member to see how the
other boys were managing and
caring for their animals. In ad
dition to the boys who had pig
projects, other making the tour
were; W. R. Smith, Manager of
the Sears store in Fayetteville,
Phil Johnson, Raeford, Jim But
ler, Swine Specialist of State Col
lege, and the Coimty Agent.
As each project was visited, Mr.
Butler judged each animal ac
cording to type, development, and
its possibilities of making a good
brood sow. The animals were
placed in blue, red, and white
ribbon groups. Boys haying ani
mals placed in the blue ribbon
group were Bobby Vanhoy, R-3,
Raeford, Charlie Jacobs, R-1,
Aberdeen, and Fred Holland, R-2,
Raeford. Those having gilts placed
in the red ribbon group were
Clyde Leach, Robert Currie, and
Billy Everleigh, of R-1, Red
Springs. Cash prizes were award
ed in the amounts of $12.00 for
blue, $10.00 for red, and $8.00
for white. These prizes were do
nated by the Sears Roebuck Foun
dation. As long as the pig chain
is kept active in the county, Sears
will offer a definite amount of
money each year to be used for
awards and helping maintain and
increase the pig chain. We are
grateful for the interest that this
organization has shown In spon
soring a project of this type and
we feel sure that their efforts will
be of value to the county.
Each of the projects visited-,
showed that the club members
had done an execellent job in
feeding and caring for their ani
mals. Each is to be commended
for the job he has done, and next
year we plan to have a larger
number of boys participating in
this project.
