Tobacco Bud Worm
Can Be Controlled
or*-.
X4—Man.v tobac-
ro growers follow the practice of
spnlvMcr the corn ~neal-arsenate
lead insecticide for the control
tobacco bud worms, says W. C.
Nettles, extension entomologist
and member of the Recommenda
tions Committee of the Tobacco
Insect Council for 1938. The bud
wwui is in many cases the same
insect as the com ear worm and
the tomato fruit worm.
By applying a pinch of the dry
mixture at the center of each bud
at the rate of about eight pounds
per acre, control may be obtained
in most cases with one or two ap
plications, but applications should
t>e continued until control is se
cured.
Experiments have shown that
«*ne pound of arsenate of lead to
T9 pounds of com meal is effec-
Mne. However, the practice
among farmers in South Carolina
Is to mix the poison formula at
rate of one pound of arsenate
lead to 25 pounds of com meal.

To Prevent Severe
Chinch Bug Damage
farmers who have had
chinch bug damage to corn
in recent years have found that
planting com adjacent to small
endn has controlled the severity
'«»ff the infestation. It is therefore
important that farmers do not
fptant com or sorghums adjacent
to small grain. County Agent R.
D- Suber advises.
Chinch bugs are now present in
the state and breeding on barley
and wheat, and to Some extent on
oats, but a recent survey indicates
that chinch bugs are much less
numerous than at this time last
□war. according to W. C. Nettles,
extension entomologist.
In the chinch bug area of York.
Lancaster, and Chester counties,
elsewhere in the state, soy-
and sorghums may be sub-
attteted as resistant crops for
production, Mr. Nettles sug-
The chinch bug, of course,
on sorghum, but if proper
<ccdtara£ methods are observed a
satisfactory crop should be made.
Fountain Inn, May 14.—Good
years may come and bad years
may come but B. F. Gault,
Fountain Inn farmer, by close at
tention to his farming business,
always manages to come out with
a good yield. He did it last year
when he raised 26 bales of cotton
on 14 acreas of land.
But it is not any “just happen
so” with Mr. Gault. He studies
his farming operations just as
closely as any industrial engineer
studies the operations of his
plant. He puts business practices
in his farming operations. He
says that he always tries to make
heigh yields and has found that
it has paid him well.
Last year Mr. Gault says he
bought for his cotton crop Coker’s
No. 100 pedigreed seed direct from
the breeder. He placed his rows
about three feet - apart and in
chopping tried to leave two stalks
to the foot.
Mr. Gault says he has found
from experience that it pays to
fertilize v,e-l if one is to get a
high yield. He used 600 pounds
per acre of a high-grade 12-4-4
per acre before planting. Then
he followed with two side-dress
ing applications of natural Chil
ean soda. The first application of
100 pounds per acre was made
when the cotton was 6 inches
high and the second 100 pounds
per acre when the cotton began
to put on fruit.
Mr. Gault says that he has
found that it pays him to feed
the nitrogen side dressing to the
crop as the plant needs it and he
always follows this practice. He
has a good grade of clay loam soil
and he says that he has always
been able to make high yields by
following the practices outlined.
Mr. Gault also slays he practices
frequent cultivation and has
found that nothing takes the
place of good cultivation in
making a cotton crop.
* <*•
Another good yield of cotton
this year is the goal that Mr.
Gault will work for, and he plans
to follow the same practice this
year that he followed last year.
