Extension Chairman & Freddie O'Neal, Asst. Agri. Extension Agent We have just been informed by a state entomology specialist that the boll weevil eradication program is otY for the 1977 season. All the details could not be worked out. as the season approaches. Farmers that are planning to increase acreage will not have to worry a bout putting up money at sign ? up time. approve the Section 18 Emergency Legislation in regard to the use of the pyrethroids for boll worm control. Growers should make plans early for the type of chemicals they will use to control all pests. They should delay as long as possible the application of ma terials that causes fruiting to be slow. ? ? ? Extension's long range plan called "4 - Sight for Hoke County" is available from the agent's office. It includes planning in the areas of agricultural production, both live stock and crops: home economics program; 4-H and youth programs and community resource develop-, ment program. ? This program was developed from ideas suggested by a group of citizens in the county that was interested in the various sections. These educational aids should offer a better life for all people in the county. * * * Gardners should make a definite plan on the types of vegetables they plant. Rotation of the crops in the garden can help in controlling diseases and nematodes. People that have had problems with nematodes should treat the land before planting. Granular Nema gon is an easy material to apply and will help reduce the population. Several other materials are avail able but hiost require extra equip ment to inject in the soil. Other practices should be followed closely to insure good production. Housing Tips By Willie Featherstone, Jr. Asst. Agri. Ext. Agent When planting trees and shrubs, the planting hole should be a minimum of one foot wider and deeper than the root ball or mass of roots. ? * * Winter - killed wood should be pruned away from trees and shrubs. Cut back to a line growth bud on each stem. Pine and dogwood trees are susceptible to waterlogged soils. Never plant them where they will suffer wet feet. * * * If blooms are picked from shasta daisy plants, they often give a second crop of flowers in autumn.
