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.

Clark, Mrs.' John Hanna, Mrs. J. H. Champion, | and Mrs. A. B. Davis for serving as! judges for this occasion. I 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.
