S. Department of Agriculture have been seeking a dependable and pro fitable way for the farmer to poison the boll weevil. After innumerable experiments and demonstrations, the Government announced the dis covery of a method of poisoning with calcium arsenate, which, if properly done, will control the weevil and make cotton growing profitable in badly infested sections. The Government work has been carried on in the far South where the weevil first appeared and where the infestation is worst. But the weevil is in North Carolina now, and our farmers can save their cotton if they use the knowledge gained in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. Like everyone else whose pros perity is wrapped up in the growing of profitable crops, we are most anx ious that Carolina farmers should be shown this Government method of poisoning before the weevil de stroys our cotton. .

Mr. Taylor’s services are offered as a lecturer on poisoning at any farmers meeting in any part of the / State, at no expense.

Careful study of the instructions on these forms will solve many difficulties which, at first glance, may seem perplexing. As a further aid.the Bureau of In ternal Revenue lias prepared a series of newspaper statements based on the, latest rulings and decisions govern ing the administration of the revenue act. Answers to the questions, which from the bureau's correspondence dur-- ing the last year appear perplexing, will lie presented daily. Taxpayers are advised to preserve these, articles as they appear, in order that when they begin preparation of their returns they may have before, flYein a compre hensive suTumaky of the requirements of the revenue act. The tax is/ imposed upon net in come, which is gross income less-cer tain specified deductions for business expenses, losses bad debts, etc., to be fully explained later.

The in vitation was accepted generally and every organization or group named above was represented among those presents This/was the first visit to Concord for the State officers, and they made many new "buddies’* Ivy their fine talks and pleasing manner. That they are interested in the Legion and the for mer service,men is clearly demonstrat ed by the earnest, manner in which they have conducted their offices, and tlieir visit here served to strengthen tlie faith local Legionaires have in their State officers. • In addition to the three out-of-town speakers, there were short talks by various other guests. J. Lee Crowell. .Tr.. welcomed Hie visitors for the post, and responses were made by represen tatives of the various groups of invit ed guests. Among the speakers were: Rev. W. A.

The hall was decorated by Roy Sap pen field and Vann Walter, and made a very attractive appearance. Larg“ American flags were used in profus ion in tin* decorations, which were tastefully arranged. The biggest feature of the evening . proved to be the barbecued pig. which was prepared under the supervision of jFreil Bust and “Col.” Giles Crowell, i The pig was served with kraut, cheese, crackers, bread and Bevo. and there was enough of everything for “sec onds.” When mess call was sounded the men "fell in” with a snap and briskness that showed true army train ing, and the shouts of "seconds” and j “Iv. P. more food,” brought back vivid ly scenes of army life. Tlie barbecue was staged by the post as the biggest feature of its member ship campaign, which is now being l conducted. Every ex-service man in the county was an invited guest, re gardless of whether or not lie was a member of the Legion, and the ad dresses made by the officers stressed the importance of every former service man enlisting his support with the or ganization. due ot' the most pleasing features of the evening was the musical num bers given by the Forest Hill Orches tra. which offered its services free for the occasion. The occasionAvas easily the biggest pulled off by tlie Legion here in years, and the officers and committeemen ' who made it so successful have receiv ed much praise for the manner in which tlie event was conducted.
