Good Supply of Cotton Seed Should Be Saved
The 1940 cotton crop is doing well in most of the state but farmers should begin plans to secure seed for next year as advised by P H Kimer of the State College Experiment Station. Large portions of this year's seed came from breeders and from breeder-derived stock, with substantial quantities from one and two year breeder stock stored for future planting. Seed from two years from the breeder should be saved if not mixed at the gin, and harvested cotton should be dry and protected from weather to prevent mixing. Weevil infestation was the lowest in years, but plans to control weevils by poisoning are advised as weather next year is unpredictable. Concord Aug 27. Two women from Kannapolis and near Concord are hospitalized after alleged suicide attempts over the weekend. both are expected to recover. Mrs. Mary Jones of Kannapolis and Mrs. Pauline Miller of Cabarrus County. Roy Harbison of Kannapolis died after a collision near Kannapolis involving a car driven by George W. Baker of Lake Charles, La.
