The Adventure of a Cotton Seed (Pattie Ruth Moore, '10) One beautiful spring morning I was lying dreaming In Farmer Jonea' big pack honse, when, suddenly the door flew open, and in came the hired boy after a bushel of cotton seed to plant an acre for experiment, using some test gakno which had been sent out by a factory in Durham. After the ground was prepared, I was placed in a cotton planter with | some more cotton seed, and a few mo ments later, found myself covered | with dirt. This was very disagreeable to me, so I began to move around and push as hard as mi strength would allow, and in a few days, found my. self peeping out into the beautiful sunshiny world once more. My, how glad I was! When we had grown to be about three Inches high, some hands came into the Held and began to chop qui the small shabby looking stalks, so . 1 tried to stand up and look as good as possible. ? cotton stalk which had I come up in the same hill that 1 was ' in, had grown to be a very close friend | of mine, but when the choppers came j along, they took my pal away from me; it was hard for us to part, but I was glad they took her- Instead of, me, since one or the other had to go. | I was very lonely at first, but soon got used to it and did my best to make a fine stalk of cotton. This time luck came my way, that la. I escaped being bothered with that ter. rible Insect, the boll weevil. I was very sucoessful in my attempt of mak ing iood, and by the middle of Sep j tember, fifty .two bolls were banging on my stalk, readv to be picked. As II was standing in the field In all my beauty and luster of snow white locks. Uncle Ricks, an old colored man, came to the field and began picking, and in less than a weeks time, every stalk I in the field was bare. On Saturday morning the horses were hitched, and we were loaded on the wagon had canned to tlje gin. After reaching the gin, the first thing we had to do was to go through a large pipe; this wis lots of fun and' 'a good ride, but on a Uttle .farther, i such dreadful teeth and rollers. I never saw before. I never expected to come out of that terrible machine alive, hut as it happened ! wasn't mashed quite to death. After going through the gin, my lint was tied up with some more lint, in a bag and ties put around us. We are still in the bale now, waiting to be ship, ped to the New England States for manufacture. THE PREVALENCE OF CANCER The latest statistical information c< Uected and published by cities, Ltartes, and the national government g< as to . prove that cancer stands tourth as the cause of death among the citizens of this country. Cancer of the stomach causes 32 per cent of the cancer death rate; cancer of the female genital organs causes 14 per cent; cancer of the breast causes 9 per cent; cancer of the skin causes 3 per cent. Cancer authorities agree that there are at least 300,000 cases of cancer in the United States today. North Caro lina has more than 6,000 people every year ill from cq^cer, and every day there are in the State four deaths from this disease While -^children and young people have cancer, the disease attacks men and women beyond the age of 35 more often than prior to that time. Among ell deaths in men between the ages of 45 and 70, one in eight is due to cancer and among all deaths in wo. men between 45 and 65, one in five is due to cancer.
