I Fotci? Admitiiin* Rnirn??i?Si i ! THE AMTMT AM pofcc ASSOCIATION Friday, August 25, 1922 SOME DEFINITE RE SULTS IN SIGHT "It is hard to say just what the ulti mate result will be in the cotton dusting campaign" says Franklin Sherman, State Entomologist, "but we have found many dead weevils in fields where dusting has been done? where dusting has not been done we find only lives one* and plenty of them." Considering the abundance of the weevils and the rapid progress of the crop accdhding to Mr. Sherman two more dustings should be given in the week of August 21-26 if possible. This refers to the average early fields bat by all means the last dusting should be given before September 8 or 9. Reports from the U. S. Dept. laboratory at Tallulah, La., state that results thid year are more favorable to the dusting method than in any previous year. (1 NO LICENSE REQUIRED TO OPERATE GINS "Many inquiries from ginners throughout the state are coming in re garding the license to operate this year, and it is high time", says J. M. Workman, warehouse engineer of the North Carolina Division of Markets,"! that the ginners should know that a license is not required. . "This law has been repealed" states Mr. Workman," and at the same time the law requiring ginners to collect a tax of 26 cents a bale on all cotton ginned was repealed, which the farmer as well as the ginner should know." Twent-flve cents doesn't seem much 3 to the individusl but when the whole crop is considered it means a saving of approximately $200,000 to the North Carolina cotton farmers. 0 CARELESS CROSSERS VIE WITH DEATH Increased safety for passengers and employees was achieved by the Southern Railway System during the first five months of 1922, but fatali ties among persons who were neither passengers nor employees showed an increase of 24.64 per cent, according to an announcement by the South ern's Safety Department. During this period not a passenger was killed and fatalities among em ployees decreased 27.2 per cent as compared with 1921, but 86 other per sons were killed as against 69 in 1921. Of this total, 42 lost their lives while trespassing on trifcks, 18 while trespassing on trains, and 28 were killed in highway crossing accidents. "These figures show," the state ment says, "that while the Southern has been able to protect the passen gers who pay to ride on its trains, and the employees whose duty it is to operate them, it has not had equal success in controlling fatalities among persons who insisted on walking on tracks or climbing on trains where they had no business, or among per sons who attempted to cross its tracks without taking the simple pre caution to see that no train was ap proaching. O A LETTER Wynne, Ark., August 14, 1922. Editor Hertford Coanty Herald? I receive the Herald every week and enjoy it A? my last letter went in the waate baaket, will try again. I may have boasted Arkansas too mneh; I love dear old North Carolina and think ahe haa the beat people in the world, bat I think Arkansas is the greatest state ht the Union. I reached home on the 10th of Jnly and got right in a hot primary elec tion campaign. Our primary elec tion earns off on the 8th of Angust and aa we are all democrats the result ef the primary ia the same aa election. The fltnt election held la <Ua eranty i .? i. ? dras in 1840?58 year* ago and I took an active part in that one and have not missed a one since. I love to help my friends. My ticket won by a' majority of 2 to 1. and I had lota of fun; told the boys to follow the crowd and get on the band wagon. We hominated everything from Congress man, Governor on down to Road Overseer and my man won by 2 1-2 to 1; the Ku Klux Klan wen all over the state, so you see we are 100 per cent Americans and for white suprem acy. . Our crops are wonderful, there is some complaint of the boll weevil but the* foil'weeVil can't get it all. We will make lots of corn, hay and sweet potatoes. We have a line fruit crop and plenty of watermelons and ean teloupes so most of us are feeling fine. All except the defeated ^candidates who think they were treated mighty bad. One who loves the Old North State. W. P.
