This is the plight of our cotton farmers at present. In many fields, infestation counts are running close to 100 percent. That is everything except grown and nearly grown bolls has been lost to the ravages of the boll weevil. Many farmers are undecided whether to continue poisoning or not. This is a vital question right now. In most cases we would recom mend either continue poisoning on a 3 to 4 day schedule or defoliate right away. In fields of severe in festation, grown bolls are subject 1 to weevil attack. Taking the j leaves off now would help reduce the danger of damage to these grown and nearly grown bolls. In cases where there are still a good many young bolls on the cot ton, we definitely would recom mend continued poisoning. Stay on a 4 day schedule as long as you want protection on these young bolls. Bollworm is also in creasing in many fields. Be cer tain all poisons have DDT for bollworm control. At least 1% pounds technical DDT per acre is needed to knock out bollworms. Many of our experienced farm ers know that the weather more Homeowners Policies WHY PAY MORE? Get 1. Dwelling Coverage 2.

The weather has encouraged the greatest build up of boll weevil we’ve seen in a long time. One or two applications of pois- on at the light time in early July would have prevented such a heavy build up of weevils in most fields. As we harvest this year’s insect damaged crop, let us ponder the fact that adequate insect con trol is a must for every cotton farmer if we are to continue growing cotton in Newberry County.

For the egg laid by 720 hens in day, plus $3.60 we can hire a painter for 8 hours. If a farmer donated the wool that goes into a $50 suit, it would still cost him $44.30. If he fur nished the hide for a $10 pair of shoes, they would still cost him $8.63. If he gave the livestock for $10 worth of meat, it would still cost him $4.90 at the butcher shop. If he furnished the tobac co for a pack of cigarettes, it would still cost him 17.6 cents. If he gave the beans for a 10- cent can, they would still cost lim 8.7 cents. If he furnished the wheat for a 16-cent loaf of bread, it would still cost him 14.7 cents. And if he gave his milk away, it would cost the consumer 12 cents a quart delivered at the door.— Becky Eich’er, St. Joseph County. Taken from the Michigan Farn-- er.)
