Fifty Years for Uncle Sam Among those distinguished for long and faithful service in Un cle Sam's employ are Mrs. Lillie Beard and Mrs. Letitia Calhoun, both of whom have rounded out a half century of duty in the Treas ury Department at Washington. COTTON BUST CONTROLLED BT POTASH FERTILIZER Raleigh, April 12?Cotton suffers tremendous damage on certain North Carolina soils each year from a di sease commnly called rust The trou ble occurs on certain soil types which are generaly deficient in potash and organic matter and while farmers hare known for several years that the trouble may be corrected, there is heavy damage to the cotton crop each year because of the disease. "Typical rust is not associated in any way with the attacks of insects or disease organisms," says O .W. Fant, extension plant disease special ist at State College. "The North Caro lina Experiment Station has found from its tests and from demonstra tions made by practical growers that the most effective treatment of rust la a liberal application of a fertilizer containing at least 200 pounds of kainit or 60 pounds of muriate of pot ash per acre. Where practical, a crop rotation should be practiced that will add organic matter to the soil." Mr. Fant states that rust should never be confused with wilt, a disease which is prevalent in the eastern part of North Carolina. Control measures for rust are not effective against wilt because this latter trouble is caused by a fungus which enters the roots of the plant from the soil. Wilt may be distinguished by a blackened streak found when cutting into the stem of affected plants. The plants will be stunted and the limbs are abnormally', long. This disease will cause the death of plants in early season and i some will die throughout the season.} It is controlled, states Mr Fant, by planting welt resistant cotton. Loss from rust often amounts to 60 < A Letter from Daddy During the war, John S. Steven son, of Vineiand, N. J, was gassed, which caused his death. But oefort "passing on" he wrote seventeen letters to his son Dick, who is now age five Every birthday, until he is twenty-one, "Dicky" will receive ,a letter from-Daddy, to guide his steps In avoiding youths' pitfalls. ;t1?e last letter will be sent hiro on [his wedding day. percent of the crop. The trouble is distinguished by a mottled appearance of the leaves, which later turn reddish brown and finally drop leaving the stalk bare. It's a slow day in Euaope when an other cabinet isnt resigned to Its fate.

The frivolous hue was more or less an attempt to. satisfy the boy who wanted something tunny. There will be no more of them ex cept by special request. I wanted to see and hear Aaron Saptro In Raleigh last week but Zarm agent duties kept me ? in Harnett county. Since his magic rise from an humble beginning to a lawyer na tionally known I have wanted to see and hear him. Did any of you hear Will Rogers in Greenville? I wanted to hear him there but could not get away. I hope Several Franklin Countians heard him as he is a real humorist. While advertising our second poul try car this week 1 killed my first chicken in North Carolina when I ran over a black hen. Just couldn't help it and there resolved to drive more careful when hens are crossing the road in front of me. I got my report all ready for the coupty commissioners Monday only to have them adjourn after an abbre viated session and before I got to make it. It disgusted me to let them get away before I could give an ac count of the defeds in the body last month, not that I had so much to report to them for I hadn't, but I felt it was my duty. A Mind man on the streets of Ul lington the other day ? attracted my sympathy. I wonder how it seems to be forever in the dark. Seen Through My Windshield A woman in Dunn wearing a black bonnet. A baby on the frofit porch crawling on its all-fours. 9 A negro fanner hauling manure in a steer cart. Hundreds of sand piles on the edge of the highway waiting to repair the asphalt. A bey too small to go to school tussling with his father's axe. Two big cars sip past me, each anx ious for the front end of the road. 8even little negro boys on their way to school. I wonder Where the other three are. Father and three sons loading a wagon from a fodder stack. Sign; "Benson leads the State ship pin native poultry." Another sign: Benson has only creamery in Eastern Carolina." Still another: "7 churches in Ben son."?Benson is not as large as Louisburg. Going through LJlIington: A color ed man driving a two.mule wagon and a little boy following, riding a i Shetland pony. Just out of town: The boy is driv ing the mules and the negro is rid ing the pony. The boy's ambition is "I want to be a man." A family mall box in Sampson county. "John W. Dawson" printed on one side and "Maggie Dawson" on the other. I have passed thousands f of mail boxes but this is the first one I remember seeing with the names of both owners on it Mill.
