AGENT SAYS POISON
FOR KILLING BOLL
WEEVILS IS SCARCE
Molasses for mopping cotton to
control the boll weevil will be scarce
or probably not available this year,
the Agricultural Extension Service
reported this week.
County Agent Bill Brigham said
that the use of molasses in the pro
duction of alcohol needed for defense
may prevent farmers from securing
this material for mixing weevil poi
son.
However, he assured farmers that ’
an adequate supply of calcium arsen
ate has been provided for, in order
that cotton growers may be prepared
to effectively control the boll weevil
this year.
Mr. Brigham declared that boll
weevils went into hibernation last
fall in large numbers and that it is
very likely that stiff control measures
will be necessary to effectively curb
the damage by these insects to the
1942 crop.
He called attention to the fact that
burning of woods and fileds does not
kill weevils, since more of the weevils
usually bury so deep in the trash that
they will not be affected by the heat.
Then, too, he said, most of the boll
weevils that hibernate in woods are
found within 100 feet around the
edges of the fields.
NEGRO SCHOOLS
HOLD COMMUNITY
DAY EXERCISES
On Saturday, March 21, 1942, the
parents, teachers, pupils and friends
of the twelve Negro Schools in Semi
nole County, asemmbled at the Coun
ty Training School for the purpose
of sharing a county-wide program.
The program was centered around
‘•Education for Better Living”, with
Miss Sara A. Phillips, Jeanes Sup
ervising Teacher pf Seminole County,!
presiding.
The guest speaker fpK day was j
Prof. G. L. Edwards. Principal *>f the;
Douglas High School, Thomasville, Ga.-
Mr. Edwards’ address touched three
groups of people, the parents, the pu
pils, and the teachers. He emphasized
the need for better cooperation and
all working toward one specific goal
making better boys and girls. The ad
dress was both imprtssjye and inter
esting.
Mr. Mose Brown, trustee of the
Iron. City School, talked to the group
about “helping one’s self before ask
ing for help." As a trustee, he pointed
out several experiences where peo
ple who helped themselves were able
to get more help from others.
Among the visitors present were:
Prof. A. C. Curtwright, curriculum ad
visor of the Senior Division and
Instructor Social Sfince, Georgia
State College, Industrial College,
(Georgia who encouraged the people
to keep up as well as build up the
best possible morale, especially dur-’
ing such a crucial period. Other vi»i-j
tors were: Mr. Williams, instructorj
Douglas High School, Thomasville,)
and Milton Pugh, student Georgia,
State College.
The Seminole County teachers,
supervisors and pupils are grateful
to the businesses and individuals for
their donations which made it possible
to give 48 prizes. Some of these priz
es went to pupils with outstanding
hand work and literary work. Others j
went to the winners of competitive I
games and relays. We are also very,
grateful to Mrs. B. B. Clark, Mrs.'
John Hanna, Mrs. J. H. Champion, |
and Mrs. A. B. Davis for serving as!
judges for this occasion.

Mr. Emmett Wiggins
Disscusses Peanut
Oil Production
The acreage lid has been kicked off
peanut production this year, insofar
as peanuts for oil a -e concerned, Mr.
Emmett Wiggins County AAA ad
ministrative officer, pointed out this
week in discussing tfie tremendous
peanut production task set for Geor
gia farmers under the Food for Free- )
dom program, i '
He was quick to ppjqt quf, hovyever,!
that acreage allotment restrictions, I
as in the past, will be strictly adhered j
to in the case of edible peanuts.
“For the farmer who wants to pro- j
duce oil peanuts,” he said, “allotment'
restrictions faavp been tossed out thel
window”. Regardless of ftp feguja:
tion of edible nut acreage, he may
plant as many acres as he wants for
oil crushing, and WP hope he’ll go th?
limit.
“There is a tremendous need fori
peanut oil for the machines of war,;
and it’s up to our farmers to produce l
it. Georgia soil is among the finest in I
the gopntry for this purpose, so much'
of the resppnsibility for growing oil,
peanuts will fest on the shoulders of
Georgia farmers,”
All peanuts grown on allotted
acres, subject to AAA regulations,
may be sold for edible use, Mr. Wig
gins pointed out, and all those grown
on unrestricted acreage must be sold
for oil crushing to avoid penalties.
Seminole Fanners
Will Help Grow
Big Peanut Crop
Seminole county, which last year
planted 18,000 acres of peanuts, has
been called on this year to produce
25,000 acres to help meet the war-born
demand for increased oil supplies.
To date, Seminole county farmers
have indicated they will devote 31,000
acres to peanuts. The county’s goal,
established after the setting up of
national Food for Freedom goals, was
set at acres.
In this way, according to Mr. 11.
G. Woods, chairman of the Se.wpole
County USDA War Board, farniers of
this county have indicated they want
a real part in the American war ef
fort, and have signed up for the du
ration to shoulder arms on the home
front.
“Our army of farmers,” he declared,
“is as important to the national war
effort as the boys in the armed ser
vices, and Georgians, almost to a man,
tia*e stepped forward to’ enlist in the
food prodiUtiop campajgp. With such
unified spirit, and such magnificent
loyalty to the American cause, we can
rest assured we’ll fight through to a
final victory over the Axis.”
In peanuts alone, Mr. Woods said,
Georgia farmers have been set a tre
mendous production task. Last year,
he pointed out, Georgia farniers pro
lduced 670,000 acres of peanuts for
[ both edible and oil uses. Last Septem
ber, a goal of 1,137,000 acres was set
, up for the state, and U. §. entry into
, the war forced a still further advance.
The site’s 1942 goal for peanuts
stands at 1,376,000 acres, of which
only 551,000 actes wjjl be for edible
nuts.
“The sky is the limit, “Mr. Woods
said, “on oil peanut production.”
During 1941 soil conservation nur
ggries furnished 151,400,000 plants
for erosion-control plantings.
Pigs should fee Weaned until
they are eight weeks trt age,
For a supply of okra for canning
throughout the season, an early plant
s' jpg and two later plantings should be
j made.
Sea Island cotton ®»}ould be plant
ed about March 15 to 20, according tc
Extension recommendations.
