Perquimans County fanners are ad
vised by County Agent L C, -Yage! to
begin at once their dusting program'

WeeviL Regular weekly weevil oodnte
are being made again this year by the
local extension personnel In coopera
tion with the State Weevil control
program. It has been found that the
weevil population is on the Increase.
A ma be expected tills increase
varies from farm to farm. The high
est infestation found in Perquim
ans to- date is 4 per cent which is
' plenty high to Justify starting the
dusting program.- vv.-t'
A' weekly cotton news letter is re
ceived at the Agenf s-offiee ami from
this we quote 'SBoU weevil Infesta
tions are becoming rather serious in
some fields in all major cotton coun
ties and though there is considerable
variation from one locality to another,
yet 'infestations seem more general
and heavier than last year. One
count indicates that treatments should
be begun at squaring in more fields
by far than last year. ; ; ;
Growers are again urged- to check
their fields for weevils prior .to gquar-
, ing and to begin treatment at squar
ing where weevils are present at the
rate of 1 per 100 plant or if con
siderable weevil injury is noted. If
: squaring has begun, applications of in
secticides should be applied in fields
showing 10 . per cent punctured
squares. It is: suggested that appli-'
. cations be made V at weekly inter
vals' until' infestations fall below 10
per cent. This usually necessitates 2
to 4 applications, which will consti
tute early season control. Tt is sug
gested that late season control be be
gun .when infestations again build up
to 10 pef;wnT;vi,;?',,"!'?:-;
