Blair Tucker 50 GOOD ~~ CIGARETTES io< GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM , TOBACCO LIKE THE PBOYEKBIAL CIBCCS Raleigh, Jan. 27 ? Rainy weather has ceased to be the bugaboo of the North Carolina Cotton Growers .Co operative Association. Like the pro verbial circus, the big Tar Heel co. operative continues rain or shine.-*. Six weeks of cloudy days put all sorts of kinks Into the grading de partment, but the sunshine since Christmas has given opportunity for the classers to catch up. No cotton Is graded when Old Sol hides his face. Inlformlty of grades Is one of the main assets of the association, It Is explained, and all cotton Is graded In the sunshine. ' Just as- the force ot graders was doubled to take care of tee big rush of cotton, the rain set In, and many weary days were spent by the cotton association officials while they wait ed . Cotton couldn't be sold and ne gotiable warehouse receipts couldn't he completed without grades. The grading end Is an Important link in the association's business chain. While the 130,000 bales ot cotton al ready graded shows on the average to be above ordinary. Chief Claseer P. H. Hart says there Is plenty of room for improvement in tho quality of cotton giown In North Carolina. The Association Is putting on a drive this month for One-Variety cot ^tu^communities. It is proposed to get aH^he growers In certain counUas or sectiol?4o get the same kind of Tm proved seed. \j?his will insure better grades and uniformity of grade, which is considered fully :>>-iijiportant. KOLL WEEVIL lXJl'RY THiJKJFAIt Raleigh, Jan. 31.? All of the arei~ north of a line drawn through from Hickory in Catawba County to Salis bury in Rcwan, acress to Raleigh in Wake and to Washington and Belhav en in Beaufort and straight through Hyde County to the coast was first In vaded by boll weevil in 1922 and is due for only light injury this year, says Franklin Sherman of the Division of Entomology, N. C. Extension Service. Mr. Sherman says that the injury will be heavier near the line and to the eastward but it will be in 1924 before this section will be seriously hurt and that the cotton grower has this one other chance to make nearly a full crop of cotton If he uses good cultural methods and picks up the fallen squares. The heavy damage of 1923 will be south of the line mentioned. West of a line from Monroe to Raleigh the cot ton farmers will lose from 10 to 20 per cent of their crop, with heavier less to the south. Here good cultural methods, picking Bquares once each week to the end of July and use of the dust poison in the more heavily Infested areas should be practiced . West of a , line from Lumberton "to Greenville, the injury will probably run between 20 to 30 per cent, and east of this line, the Injury will be from 30 to 60 per cent. On the west aide, good cultural methods should be prac ticed to the fullest extent and the dust method used. East of this line, though the farmers do not depend sd gTeatly on cotton, they should make still fur ther reductions in acreage and fight the weevil for the remaining acreage by using the dust method, better seed, better cultivation and fertilization and pick the fallen squares and burn them. Mr. Sherman Will be glad to fur nish information about the boll weevil to any farmer who will write him at Raleigh or "who will call at his office. He states that now Is the time to make preparation for fighting the pest and the farmer should Inform himself cor. rfcetly about the best methods. The Profitable Way to Keep Hens Only Om Feed to Boy Many people claim that it costs mora to feed poultry than they return in meat and eggs. This is largely doe to the ose of an unbalanced feed. Qralnn and ?ertttch feed* made from Brains are not ? balanoed feed. . X No flock, large or smalL will ever pay a profit on an unbalanced feed. While on a balanced feed, which tosta bnt lit tle mora, the same fowls will furnish enough eggs and meat to liberally re ward their owners. ?Using two different feeds ? one a ?cratch made of grains ? the other a mash of concentrates, was the usual way of balancing the rations, but It Is too Sublesopia for the average beraon. U isn't balance the ration for every, hen, consequently it Is used by only a few. The two in-one method, a maah d scratch all in one. a feed that can fed like wheat or corn, is the re?l solution f?r the average man. Quber. nut Laying Feed Is just soon a feed ? ? perfectly balanced feed. Many users call It a real discovery. Tbe longer yon use it, the better you like It ? those ^Who have fed it constantly for a year br more are its greatest boosters. Ask the person who has fed It, or order a sack and be convinced.
