Productive Rains Each inch of July rainfall in the corn belt is worth millions of ; dollars, increasing the crop by eight bushels an acre. In the wheat states, May-June rains have much 1 th§ fame effect, _ _ _ ..... &>>».**., Insec cs Attack Georgia Pecans Although a fair crop of pecans is in prospect and prices are high, returns from the crop will be re duced because of attacks by in sect pests, George H. Eiror, horticulturist of the State Ex tension Service, predicted this week. Georgia ranks first in the Nation in acreage of improved varieties, Mr. Eiror pointed out, but yields are cut heavily each year by in sects. Pecan weevils, he said, are one of the insects doing serious 1 damage in some orchards of Stu art, Schley and Mahan varieties in middle and north Georgia. Mr. Eiror said that more am more Georgia farmers are using control methods to combat thesi pests, because a satisfactory am inexpensive method has been trie dand has proved practical. Kill the weevils This method, according to Mr, Eiror, consists of bumping the tree limbs several times in Aug ust and September and catching the disloded weevils on sheets. * STAND TOGETHER!

Worms that ruin pecans come , from eggs laid deeps in the nuts by weevils just after shells hard en and kernels fill, the Extension worker declared. In the early part of the season weevils punc ture nuts on the lower limbs but . as the low nuts become scarce the weevils go to higher limbs. Weevil-infested nuts should be gathered and burned to prevent weevils from enteringthe ground, he asserted. Sun’s Distance from Earth Sir H.
