type of work, according to Mr. Thom

proximately three hundred dollars
| worth of equipment must lie provided

farm shop must lie provided.
2. The teacher of agriculture must
l»e employed on • a yearly basis, and
arrangements made to bear his trav
, ding expenses in visiting projects and
doing community work.
4. One-fourth of the total salary of
the teacher of agriculture must be
met from the local or county funds.
5. The high school should lie locat
ed so that it will he one of the per
manent schools in a county-wide sys
tem of organization.
If these requirements are met and a
representative of the state hoard ap
proves the school, iho board will co
operate with the local school to the
J extent of paying three-fourths of the
total salary of the teacher of agricul
ture. it was stated. All money paid by

Easter Cantata at Second Presbyter
i fan Church. v
On Easter Sunday night the choir
of the Second Presbyterian Church
rendered a cantata appropriate to the
season. The music, which was of an
exceptionally high order, consisted ol'
bright, strong choruses, interspersed
: with solos and illustrated
! a very interesting story of the early
Christian martyrs, which was read
j with much expression by Miss Nannie
; Query. The women choristers wore
; white robes with Rom tin sashes of
j bright orange, while the decorations,
'which were in charge of Mrs. O. H.
Long, were potted hyacinths and other
spring flowers. A silver cross occu
pied the center of the background and
lieneath it two flaming orange candles
struck a note of color and cheerful
ness. Os especial interest were the
solos by Miss Martha Barringer, Airs,
(’lias. Long and Air. C. 11. Long. The
duet by the Aliases Barringer and
! Thompson elicited much favorable
! comment. B. W.

About 100 farmers gathered at the
Star Theatre Saturday morning at 11
o’clock, Aiarch ,31st. to see the “White
Magic” film. Growing Cotton Under
801 l Weevil Conditions, given under
tlie direction of The Chilean Nitrate
Committee, of New York. Dr. William
b. Myers, director. Mr. Wnittle was
here in charge of the picture in oo
opei-nlinn with the County Agent of
Cabarrus Comity: the Picture being
Educational from start to finish, was
inlly appreciated by till those present
and the only regret was that .-ill the
farmers of the county were not pres
ent as this gave the results l‘ro|i sev
eral experiment stations on ‘the fer
tilization of cotton and especially tHo
use aud value of Nitrogen in the
form of Nitrate of Soda over that of
an;, other form.
The farmers wish to extend their
thanks to Mr. Means, owner of the
Star Theatre, for making it possible
for them to see this film by allowing
the use of the theatre free of charge.
The treatment of potion with cal
cium arsenate, for control of the 801 l
Weevil, has the approval of the
National and State Agricultural au
thorities. and is the only successful
method known and generally' approv
ed.
The cotton planters of your county
would undoubtedly profit by using
poison to protect their crop from the
weevil this year, as have the planters
of Georgia and South Carolina in the
past.
