During the fiscal year ending June 30, 233 landowners in the Newberry District including Lau rens county) received free advice on how to best manage their wood lands, according to E. L Middle- west, District Forester stationed in Newberry. A total of 34,723 acres of timberland was examined for these landowners. The foresters gave free recommendations to each landowner on what steps should be taken to keep his woodland in high production of forest products that it is capable of producing. Recommendations made to the various woodland farmers were: a selective harvest of saw timber or pulp wood, or both;* a refrostation program that would re-establish timber on abandoned land or thick en up the understocked stands; timber stand improvement work by use of poisons to get rid of un desirable or worthless trees to make room for more valuable trees and necessary fire control steps to take to protect their trees from fire. The selective marking recom mendation was carried out on 78 tracts consisting of 6,103 acres. For these 78 landowners the foresters selectively marked 4,095,360 board feet^of saw timber and 1,279 cords of pulpwood for harvest. For this service, a charge of 50c per thous and board feet marked for saw timber and 13 c per cord marked for pulpwood was made. For this small charge the landowner was assured his timber was being cut properly and that his future return would be greater than if he had sold by the boundary or by stump size, as so many landowners have done in the past.

Spot checking for boll weevil damage over the county for the week of July 6 showed infestation of shapes to be an average of 3 1 per cent where poison had been ap plied as compared with 50 per cent where no poison had been applieck - it was stated yesterday by County Agent C. B. Cannon. Where weevil infestation in a field is not over 8 per cent, Mr Cannon said, it is recommended that no dust be applied until in crease in weevil damage, provided the cotton boolworm is not pres ent. Cotton is at a stage of growth now he added, when we might ex pect an outbreak of the worm in sect overnight. The bollworm is a small green worm eating round holes in shape* and sometimes eats tender leaves in the buds. To control the worm it is necessary to apply 15 pounds per acre, per application, of any per cent DDT or 15 pounds of 10 per cent DDT dust alone, or add 1.0 to 1.5 pounds of Technical DDT per acre application to liquid insecti cide being used. Applications should be made at 5-day intervals for worm control. Mr. Cannon said DDT will not kill boll weevils and if no bollworm is present there is no need of applying DDT. Farm ers are urged not to overlook this insect called bollworm at this stage of cotton growth since they can do considerable damage in a few days. Be cautious, Mr. Cannon says, and check cotton *fields every two or three days for all kind of insect dartrager R. T. Wilson, chairman, has stated this is a county-wide meeting and all parents as well as other interest ed persons are invited to attend. Horace (B. Ward, state representa tive, will be present and will talk on polio and the prevention of epidem ics..
