ALFALFA WEEVIL LARVAE these are greatly en
larged have destroyed up to 60 to 70 per cent of the
feed value of fields of alfalfa in southeastern counties.
These larvae can be controlled by spraying alfalfa with
heptachlor, says Norris D. Blackburn, entomologist for the
Pennsylvania State University agricultural experiment sta
tion.' Granulated heptachlor applied in -stubble in early
spring has shown promise in Blackburn’s tests. Work is
still underway to develop a satisfactory applicator. The
adult weevil is also shown. (Penn State Photo)
Small Industry Most Likely Key
To Relieve Farm Unemployment
Additional employment oppor
tunities for underemployed per
sons in rural areas in the South
eastern States are most likely to
develop in small plants produc
ing apparel and related products,
metal products (particularly alu
minum), and wood products, ac
cording to a report issued today
by the U S. Department of Agri
culture’s Agricultural Marketing
Service
The report deals with industrial
development in the United Statesi
from 1947 through 1954, with spe
cial attention to the Southeast,
and points out resources that
might be the basis for further de
velopment of industries. It shows
that substantial increases in em
ployment have taken place in the.
Southeastern States where the
realized net income per farm is
relatively low.
The increases in that area were
mostly in the manufacture of
apparel, chemicals, pulp and pa
'per and related products, and
furniture There were declines in
employment in manufacture of
lumber and wood products, to
bacco, and the primary metal
products. Further development of
some of these industries appears
practicable in view of resources
available in the region.
Any marked expansion of in
dustries in rural areas would be
expected to take place largely by
establishment of small plants em

Columnist Anne Scott-James,
writing in the London,
Sunday Express, reports of
England that society ho
stesses are beginning to
revolt against the cocktail
party. One hostess of wide
renown called it “a very
poor form of hospitality.”
“Encouraged I asked
ten other people what sort
of parties they like to give
and go to. Only one no
torious sponge said he en
joyed cocktail parties. He
said Without shame. ‘I go for
the free drink’.”
Is American High Society
waking up too?
A leading literary figure
puts it this way:
“The cocktail habit is the
most bedraggled feather in
the nation’s cap.”

ploying less than 20 persons each,
the researchers observed For the
country as a whole, 69 per cent of
the manufacturing establishments
employ less than 20 persons each,
and less than 10 per cent ,of the
plants employ 100 or more.
The study shows that 10 States
had realized net income per farm,
m 1954, of $1,550 or less. These,,
are Maine, New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Virginia,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Geor
gia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
The income for North Carolina
was a little higher at $2,091.
The study furnishes basic data
for all States. It is part of a broad
Rural Development Program,
moving forward with the assis
tance of the USDA and other gov
ernmental agencies. _
