County Agent Urges Cotton Farmers To Start Dusting Crop Perquimans County farmers, who have not already begun dusting their cotton to control weevils, were urged this week by County Agent I. C. Ya gel, to do so immediately. Weekly boll weevil counts, th Agent said, are being made in the county, in coopera tion with the State Cotton Commit tee, and weevil emergence is on the increase in this area of the State. Dry weather, size of plants and oth er factors are greatly influencing weevil activity. Before squares are formed weevils can be found in the bud of the plant and authorities report when one weevil is found in 100 plants it is time to begin dusting. . For boll weevil control 2Q Toxe phene is recommended at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. As the plants get larger more dust will be required. For best results dust should be applied when there is no wind to blow it away, either early morning, late afternoons and nights is the best times to apply. Dusting should be repeated every 6 to 1 days regardless of rains during the present period so long as the infestations are as high as 5J to 10, k - Checking a few fields in various parts of the county does not give a true picture of county-wide conditions, the Agent stated, but it does give some idea as to the situation. He added that last year farmers who fol lowed through on dusting was the one who had the cotton to harvest, and he urged all producers to join in the pro gram this year. Warns Dog Owners G. C.
