Aa yon read this, three large busses
will be speeding 76 farmers from
franklin, Vance, Granrille and Wake
counties on the tour through Virginia
to the National Capital and return.
^Tiis week's tour cannot be valued in
/dollars and cents. It is a veritable
nchool of agriculture and entertain
ment for grown-ups with plenty of
Joy riding thrown in. It has the field
of life for its laboratory and many
-will be the lessons that will be long
remembered by those who take it.
The organisers are to be twice con
gratulated for the tireless energy they
hare expended to make it/the unown
ed success it is. Those leaders are
Hugh Harris, county agent of your
own Franklin county opd John C.
Anthony, county agent of Vance coun
ty. John Anderson, county agent of
Wake county, and F. E. Boyd, of Ral
eigh, were among those who accom
panied them on the trip.
A Tjhomasville cook put arsenate
of lead in the biscuits instead of bak
ing powder and the whole family had
a case of poisoning. Thus part of the
potato bugs meal was accidentally
mixed with the family meal with al
most disastrous results. Moral: All
farm poisons should be loudly labeK
ed and kept out of reach of children
and cooks.
The first prise of $26 in the hog
calling contest is large enough to at.
-tract the best hog callers in Frank
lin county to the Farmers and Farm
Women's Convention in Raleigh on
Wednesday, July 28. As this is Frank-,
lin County Day also, the hog callers
will have two reasons instead of one
for going. Of course, they want
Franklin county to bjring back the
silver loving cup for attendance in
honor of the president of the State
Federation of Home Demonstration
Clubs, Mrs T. H. Dickens of White
Level. Personally, I should like to
see them not only run the mountain
callers a close race for the prize but
actually call home the bacon.
The cotton flea has appeared in
North Carolina. This jumping insect
is the one which has been causing
so much damage this season to the
cotton crop of the lower South. It,
with other insect damage is thought
to be the cause of the recent advance
In the price of cotton. The insect
sacks the juice of the square stem,
canning the square to fall off. Let
as hope it does not add to the -poor
condition of this year's crop tar mak
ing an inroad here.
At a meeting of the tytard of. Coun
ty Commlsisoners last vflrst *Bboday
appropriation was made for Harnett
fcounty to put Ion the county-wide
tuberculosis eradication campaign in
cattle. The testing will begin by Sep
tember first and will be continued
until completed. Harnett county is
the last county in this section to put
oti this work.

being on feeding and care of chicks
and on diseases of poultry. This was
Grace Stricklands second year at the
Short Course and she was of great

The registration for club camp up
to date is 49 girls and 12 boys.
Each girls club represented at camp
will be asked to give a report. This
should include number of members
in the club, number of meetings beld
during the past year, attendance at
these meetings, and any remarks on
the work done by the club that you
think will be of Interest to other
clubs. If the secretary of the club
attends camp she should make the
report. If she is not attending she
should give the figures to some mem
ber who is to attend and ask her to
make the report.

DB. HARYEY'S SILENCE
The paragraphers had many gibes
and laughs when Clarence Darrow
hurled the stock question of cynics
and skeptics to Mr. Bryan: "Do you
believe the whale swallowed Jonah V
j That question has troubled many
[literal believers in the Bible state
ment. According to Dr. Ransom Har
jvey It was not at all Impassible for
the whale to swallow Jonah. He says
| whales are equipped with sinuses,
otherwise air storage department
He uses this sinus to hold any large
'substance?for instance, a Jonah?so
as not - to interfere with the regular
'processes of his stomach. The sinuS
la in reality what a detour is in road
| building. Dr. Harvey says that at
| his convenience, when the air cham.
, ber needs to get rid of the large body,
. the whale swims to Bhallow water and
emits the Jonah or other large body
that could not enter his stomach.
I Jonah is vindicated by science!
Making love Is simple only when
i the people who make it are.
