RICH SQUARE NOW IN HEAT OF FIfSHT ^"Timiitiinwt Without Public Hearing Vote To Pava Principal Street Under caption "Premature Ac tion," the Roanoke-Chowan Times, of Rich Square, publishes the follow ing bit of new*: "What is regarded by many as a premature or ill advised action on the part of our town commissioners was taken last week when a majority of the board, without any public hearing or discussion, and without the knowl edge of a large majority of the vot ers and tax payers of the town that such action was even being consider^ ed, decided to sell bonds to pave a street At the only newspaper office in the town nothing was known of the movement until several days af terwards. "Just what effect this action will have on the future development of the town of course r?"rrft Ke *^tt told, but some fear it will have the opposite effect intended. Strong op position has developed and threats to light the movement through the courts are freely made. A petition has been circulated asking the com missioners to call an election as pro vided by law to allow the citizena to vote on the question. Some who favor having the street paved do not want it done without giving all an opportunity to be heard." NOTICE APPEARANCE OF THE BOLL WEEVIL A* you cultivate your cotton dur ing the next few weeks, watch care fully for J.he cotton boll weevil. You will most likely find him in the bud of the cotton plant until the square begins to appears then of course look in the square also. If you are'nt familiar with the appearipce of the cotton weevil and notice quite a num ber of small, gray colored insects, a little larger than the corn weevil, in your cotton, call or write me and I will come and investigate for you. It may not be necessary to spray for the weevil this year, in this county, that will depend somewhat on how numer ous they seem when they are all out of their winter quarters for this year, and they are undoubtedly coming out these hot days. Don't fail to keep a close watch for the appearance of any unusual insects, in any number and especially if you recognize, or think you recognise, the boll weevil, and report same to me. Then I will in vestigate and help you to decide what you should do as to control methods. H. L. MILLER, County Agent. FUTURE TIMBER SUPPLY IN FARMERS' WOODLOTS For its future supply of timber the South must look to the farmers' woodlots, says Roland Turner, gen eral agricultural agent of the South ern Railway System, calling attention to the problem and the opportunity ?which "our vanishing forests" pre sent to the Southern farmer. The farmer's woodlot can be made to yield a steady cash income as well as to furnish the lumber needed for the farm, says Mr. Turner, in urging careful management of woodlands which are on soil too rough or infer tile1 for tillage but which can be made to pay a profitable dividend by cut ting out the mature timber and pro tecting feh^ young growth from in jury by fire and other causes. What can be done to make the woodlot pay is shown by the fact that in 1921 the farm woodlots of Mary land, where advanced forestry meth ods have been adopted, showed an average income of 92.75 per acre and each tract was cut over in such a man ner that a new crop will follow the old. As the South's largest consumers of wood as well as the owners of a large part of its present supply, farm ers have a vital interest in forest pre servation on their own farms and can make their wooded lands pay an in come as well as to keep down their lumber bill, Mr. Turner concludes. The most valuable news a farmer can obtain is news of other farmers and news of the world which has a direct bearing on his business or his home. The Hertford County Herald prints the news of other farmers.

Not if he carries "Standard", the complete gasoline. Why are gasolines different? Because this motor-fuel we call gasoline is not so simple as it seems. Even the smallest drop contains starting-fuel, pickup-fuel, power-fuel and mile age-fuel, in some proportion or other. /< And remember: it is this proportion that makes a gasoline good or poor. And it is ixi this detail that "Standard", the Balanced Gasoline, excels. By scientifically balancing the various constituents of every drop, flame generation and full, clean burning is assured. This means all the gas is burned up ?giving maximum power and no noticeable carbon residue. Long effort, experience and scientific research have produced * The Balanced Gasoline, the complete, all-round, all-purpose . motor fuel Try it out this season?for your own satisfaction. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (NEW JERSEY) BETTER STICK TO "STANDARD" Rn.ll.l.MT.OIT. The Balanced Gasoline! ^ ALWAYS UNIFORM MADE IN THE CAROLINAS , ]
