Tremendous Boll Weevil Infesta
tion in Cotton
The heaviest boll weevil infesta
tion in years! 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

than anything else controls the
making of a cotton crop. Certain
ly this has been true this year.
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.
Farm and Home Week—

High Cost of Things
For one fat hog .we can get a
carpenter for two days. For one
fat lamb, plus $3.00 we can get a
plasterer for 6 hours. 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.—
