Farm Items By W. S. Young ud Davitf BodeobcfaMr * This to the Niion of the year to be on the lookout for ?tinging caterpillars. These caterpillars have stiff poisonous hairs or spines on their bodies. They are connected to poison glands and when a person comes in contact with the spines they break and a venon o released. Reactions to the venom may vary from mild to severe, depending upon species, the site of contact and the sensitivity of the victim. Young people usually require the services of a physician. Injury is most common among children playing in yards and trees, gardeners, campers and forest workers. The most important stinging caterpillars in North Carolina are the pun caterpillar, the saddle back caterpillar, the crinkled flannel moth; the hag moth, the lo moths and the Grote. Of these the puss caterpillar is the most common, poisonous and important in this state. When a person is stung, a sharp stinging sensation is felt. Burning pain and considerable numbness usually follows. An aching pain and nausea may persist for several hours. The area of sting is extremely sensitive and it may have a blotched or mottled appearance. Swelling may or may not appear. There are usually two broods of the puss caterpillar, one in late June or July and another in September or October. The Extension Service has been asked by the National Cotton Council and the United States Department of Agriculture to encourage cotton growers to harvest the highest yields possible this fall. Air Force OKs Buddy System Sergeant Charles Maynard, local Air Force recruiter, announced this week that the Air Force has given him the okay to enlist young men under a buddy system. The plan, according to Sergeant Maynard, allows two or more buddies to enlist together, fly to Lickland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Tex., together and remain in the same flight through their six weeks of basic training. Most will separate after completing basic training, but some usually go at least to their next base together, he said. Young men in this area interested in going into the Air Force together should contact Sergeant Charles Maynard at Raeford Post Office of call 483-8608 in Fayetteville, N.C.
