Cotton Situation Weevil infestation checks during the week of July 28 showed an av erage infestation of 11.5 per cent in poisoned fields. Due to the scar city of squares it was impossible to obtain a true picture of weevil ac tivity. Some boll worm damage was seen in most fields, and farmers are again reminded to keep a sharp lookout for this insect. The extremely hot, dry weather of the last two weeks in July dam aged cotton rather severely. Most of the young bolls were thrown off and a considerable number of the more mature bolls were cracked. A large percentage of these pre maturely cracked bills will be a total loss as far as picking cotton from them is concerned. the affairs of the organization were attended to. Each one present had a report of some kind to make. A silent prayer tribute was given for the family of deceased Frances Milford Coleman and others who were ill. Election of officers by acclama tion resulted in the choice of Mrs. Nina Griffin Mann, of Greenville, as president for 1953, and Mrs. Patty Babb Worley, also of Green ville, secretary-treasurer. During the social hour which cli maxed the meeting, our hostess served ice mint drinks on the sun porch. We departed, carrying the mem ory of a delightful day with a gra cious hostess and with the spirit of glad reunion, we could truly say; “Time surely rolled backward In some mysterious way And made us girls again For one happy, golden day.” THURSDAY AUGUST 7 CHINA SKY With RANDOLPH SCOTT Two Cartoons and Comedy grower using the above informa- There is still sufficient time to; tion and taking into consideration set a crop of bolls yet. It takes two the condition of his cotton crop to weeks from square to bloom; 25 to determine his course with regard W QA j ~4- f f 11 Vv orxrvi cr\r> i n cr 30 days from bloom to mature boll; and from mature boll to open re quires 10 to 15 days. This makes a total of approximately 50 to 60 days from the square to opened boll. It will be necessary to con trol the w’eevil until the bolls are) 21 days old, after which they are tough enough to resist weevil punc turing. When 10 per cent or more of the squares are punctured, make insecticide applications every five days until control is obtained. It is hoped that the recent hot dry wea ther has killed a high percenage of the grubs and slowed down the weevil build-up. It will be heefessary for each to further poisoning. More money is lost by stopping too early than there is in continuing too late.
