It Davie, Atty. m-2 ? 23. , Winter's freezing weather ap parently has reduced the num ber of boll weevils in North Car olina, but enough of the pests are still left to cause cotton grow era plenty of trouble next sum mer. That's the report of George D. Jones, extension entomologist at N. C, State College. Jones says a recent check shows the number of weevils to be only one-third as large as the number found a year ago. He adds, however, that the survey just finished is only preliminary and the full story on the weevil wont be known until May or June. The specialist believes farm ers can expert about the same number of weevils this year as there were in 1949, "if the recent count presents a true picture." While 1949 was a "bad" wee vil year, many lint growers found that poisoning paid. Av erage cotton yield that year was 250 pounds, but farmers who dusted their crops properly five to seven times produced from one to one and three-quarter bales to the acre. Last year's overwhelming wee Good Price Expected For Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes are exi>octedJ to be a profitable crop for North j Carolina farmers in 1951. asserts. George S. Abshier, extension mar1 keting specialist at State College. Because of increased consum er demand and reduced acreage, this year's crop should bring good prices, he believes. Abshier explains that the greatly expanded cotton acreage and increased tobacco allotments will cut deeply Into sweet pota to acreage this year. He says the decrease will be particularly no ticeable here in the South. "In view of the expected strong demand and short supply," says Abshier, "North Carolina farmers should find sweet potatoes a very profitable enterprise this year." The demand for the Poito Rico variety is expected to he particularly strong, according to the specialist. Farmers who have enough land and sufficient labor are urged to grow as many sweet potatoes as last year. The U. S. Department of Agriculture is recommending the same sweet potato acreage for 1951 as was advised for 1950 Crop specialists urge sweet po vil population was some throe or four times the number estima ted for the winter of 1949. Jones recalls that holl. weevjls and other cottbn insects caused Tar Heel farmers to lose about one half ? or more than $40,000,000 worth ? of the 1950 crop. He urges cotton growers to be thoroughly prepared to fight in sects again in 1951. "Farmers who spent $15 to $20 per acre last year for insecticides ? and ap plied them prdperly ? harvested from 400 to 900 pounds of cotton per acre," says Jones.
