'For many years the people of Hur-, / ' die 'Mills have talked of erecting a i High School building in this com-. munit y, but to my deepest regret it j has not yet been erected. Good reso- j lutians are alright in their place but if they are not- backed up by action they are worthless. , Some years ago, about 1920, we had an election giving the people an opportunity to vote for or against a High School. I was very much surprised and disappointed when we failed to carry it, thereby leaving us with an old building, or rather an old sjjack unfit to stay in, in the summer, to say nothing of the cold severe winter months. This old delapidated building is not only a critical reflec tion on the community but- endangers j the lives and safety of every child that^is forced to attend schcol in it,* as well as the lives of the faithful teahhers of your child. To be fair about this old bbilding we. declare that It is no comparison to the stables and feed bams of the average intelligent farmer of Person county. With this' ? lrlnH of n hullding and so many bright children of school age, Xvc see j without a doubt that something must be done and it must he done imme-1 diately.'it is useless to repair this Void building, so therefore lets do the great thing and build ?a nice High School building, something 'that every person ought to feel proud of. Our parents-and grandparents attended school in ttiese small crowded buildings and could get along %ith very little educating, but listen friends, we, the younger generation must have ah education, or we are Bk jcompletely handicapped and are not even~considercd in the great race through life. We cannot get an eduKrcation unless we have good schools. and to have good schools we must ?have good teachers, these we cannot hope to secure uriless we have a decent place for tnem to teach in. No [ ,; good teacher will teach in an old de. lapidated fire and ice trap on a small | salary, all the best teachers are seeking the best, and I glory in their punk. LUten parents of Hurdle Mills district, aren't we (your children) jUst as dear to you as children elsewhere?, and don't we deserve the best the same as tney ! H so tTrer^WSl^^TBT^ "in the name and for humanities sake if nothing else build us a. High School. Nearly every progressive community has established _ apd is main-' tainlng a High School -and they are making progress that we can never hope to nyike without a good High School. Some people are opposing the' plan because of the slight increase in'J taxes. Friends of Humanity this puny I little increase in your taxes is a small "itetn -when wo consider the cost of'l t, _ sending'the boys and girl* otf from'l home to school, and"'too. many of jj them cannot leave, home to nltend|l school elsewhere, thus forcing many I of them to go through life with little or no training." ....

' i T>-l * . ? - <v A- . ? it is possible, then too, think of paying the tax and not having the school. You are bound to admit that "you are not treating your child' right unless you are giving them an education some how, some where. Some time soon we are going to vote on this question of building s High School, and I feel that it is the solemn duty of every citizen, both male and female, to vote to help establish this High School. Vote for it regardless of whether you have a child or not, or regardless of the small increase in taxes. Keep fever before you the Holy commandnr|ent of God,' to love your neighbor, and then a little further, love, his child. This will mean more for them than anything else you could do for them. Let the High School question be your chief conversation, both old and young until the foundation rocks * are laid " and the building erected, then we can and will rejoice over something worth while. There is at present a nice big sum of money in the bank waiting to be used in Hurdle Mills High School, go to it folks and get the building and wp, your children will show you that we have talent and can do things" as well in Hurdle Mills as can be done any where in the universe. Wil you fail , us friends? When this proposition was killed before I was too young to vote, bu} thank God I can vote for it NOW. The good women can vote this time and we are depending1 on fhem. We feel like they know what a gooc' thing i9, some men do not. In conclusion, let me say, we have no building worth while and musi build one of some kind before the opening of next session, and we will have to pay the taxes regardless of whether we get the school or not. Let's build a good High School whiie we are at it. It is the only thing to I do. May your heart and conscience lead you to do it. Respectfully, ^ Rainey Hawkins.

The disap- j' pointment of having a nice crop ofj' grapes go bad from rot may be avoid.- il ed by spending a little time in spray-j I ing this season. Black rot, anthrac- j | pose, and other diseases take heavyj| annual tolls, while experiments made'| in this State have proven than these' diseases may be controlled at a pro-J fit by timely and thorough spraying. ' "The most effective spray to use I for the control of these diseases is | Bordeaux mixture," says G. W. Fant, | extension specialist in the depart- | ment of plant diseases of the State , College of Agriculture. "This material,.' can be prepared in large or-small] quantities in the proportion of three I pounds of bluestone, four pounds of' stone lime, to 50 gallons of water. If fifty gallons of spray are needed, dissolve the three pounds of bluestone in twenty-five gallons of water. Slake . four pounds of stone Hme in a separate container slowly with, water and when the slacking has ceased, dilute with water to make twentyfive gallons and strain. Pour the two solutions together simultaneously into the spray tank while stirring thoroughly. One pound of arsenate of lead powder is added to each fifty gallons of spray for the control of insects. The spray is then ready 'to apply." In order to protect the grapes as they develop, Mr. Fant states that the spray should be applied about every two weeks. Care should be taken to follow directions in preparing spray in order to prevent injury to the foliage.Cooperative, Extension Work in Agriculture anrf Home Economics-^Statj of^pyth Carolina.

"At the time of my visit, the clover on the limed land was over two feet high and just as' thick as it could stand on the ground.
