(Continued on page 12) STATE FAIR We are not courting praise, compli ments, or even thanks. We are only asking a square deal. We merely want to give the public the best paper our patronage will permit and to en courage the right and discourage the wrong in the community. In fact, we feel that every publisher has a solemn duty to perform in printing a newspaper. Whether it is for the best interests of all to print an ar ticle or to omit it altogether must be decided and the editor’s conscience (if he has one) rather than his de sires must be the judge. But what we started in to say was that two men actually thanked us recently for what we had said in these columns. As we said before, we were not courting any thanks and did not expect it, but it made us feel a little j better, just the same. We know that people are appreciative, but there are | niighty few who express it, at least in words. Your friends befriend you in a thousand ways and you perhaps never let them know you notice it. But when that friend needs defense, you’re right there to do everything in your power to help him. That’s the modern way of life. But there’s a mighty lot of en couragement in the words “Thank you,” and we don’t believe any of us use these words enough. Children run into this office for scraps of paper, which we are always glad to give them, and they ask favors of the mer chants. Yet hardly one out of ten stops to say “Thank you.” Polite ness is an essential to the success of a boy or girl, but they can’t be polite if they are not taught politeness at home. So, for our own sakes, as well as the sake of the boy and girl—let’s try and learn to say “Thank you” a little oftener. TOBACCO DISEASE The following letter will be of in terest to the tobacco farmers: Raleigh, June 21, 1922. Mr. F. M. Dwight, R. 1, Vass, N. C. Dear Sir;— The specimens of tobacco which you sent to Professor Darst for examina- jtion show the presence of a disease I which is known by a number of com- ;mon names such as Walloon, calico, ! foxy, brindle, and mosaic. The last of I these names is the one which plant 'disease men usually employ. ! The cause of mosaic appears to be ia virus which is sufficiently small to jpass through porus clay filters. This ! virus is too small, however, to be seen with the best microscopes. All virus troubles so far as we know are infectious. In cases of this one, it is spread by such operations as plant ing, suckering, etc. Its control de pends first of all in recognizing what the disease is in the plant bed and of promptly destroying all mosaiced plants there. It would even pay, if the disease shows up in the field, to re move the diseased plants and trans plant again since these leaves will never cure well. Yours very truly, F. A. WOLF. This disease is characterized by the mottled appearance of the leaf due to the presence of the light green and dark green areas. In pronounced cases the leaf may be wrmkled or corrugated. This country still has a few men who should have been lawyers. Then they could demand pay for attendmg to other people’s business. Our idea of a successful gardner is one who can keep his canteloupes from tasting like a pumpkin. One of the many new and attractive features of the State Fair this year will be the display of flowering plants, shrubs, and cut flowers in Floral Hall and in beds outside this building in October. The florists of North Caro lina will .have charge of this display. They have already made arrange ments with the fair association to put on this flower show in October. The florists of the North Carolina Florists Association have appointed Committees to work out the details of this display of cut flowers, shrubs, bulb plants, and all varieties of flow’- ering plants which bloom in the fall. The building just directly in front of the entrance to the fair grounds will be a place of floral beauty by the time the fair opens. A number of florists have already sent down a large number of bulbs and plants with di rections for planting them. In ad dition to the borders and beds which will be arranged along both sides of the entrance to Floral Hall, some of the florists of the state have arranged to plant flowers along the entrances to the Woman’s Building. Ultimately the fair association hopes to make the fair grounds one‘ of the beauty spots of the state. Flowering plants of all kinds which bloom or reach their maturity in the fall will be bedded at many places in the fair grounds, in accordance with plans that will be made by a land scape gardner. Mrs. Edith Vander bilt, president of the fair this year, is very much interested in this phase of the development of the fair grounds. A substantial beginning along these lines will be shown in the displays of the North Carolina florists next October. The floral display will be in the octagonal domed part of Floral Hall, which this year will justify its name with one of the finest collections of North Carolina grown flowers ever exhibited in the state. There will be eight booths around the walls and the center space will also be available for displays. The florists are making arrange ments for a demonstration of the work of the Florist Telegraphic Delivery Association, an international organi zation of florists through which de liveries of flowers can be made to any part of the United States and Canada by use of the telegraph wires. Final arrangements for this display will be made when the Florists As sociation meets in Raleigh in July. JACKSON SPRINGS NEWS SAPIRO SAYS CO-OPS KEEP PROFITS HOME In California we have Associations which started out with a few faith ful men. Now 92 per cent of the pe^c" nt^o^^^ thf variojs^^^^ ^n | central California is marketed through (By L. T. Graham) Mrs. Sallie Patterson Hinson is the first to report a cotton blossom. This one was found on the 25th in cotton that averages nearly two feet in height. Mrs. Hinson’s sons, Bernard and Everett, were left fatherless with several younger brothers and sisters a few summers ago and they were hardly large enough to plow. They put their shoulders to the wheel and are now interested in their farming which is good. These boys in their teens are taking a very active part in community work and are becoming leaders in the community as well as at home. E. J. Woodley reported a cot ton blossom on the 26th from one of his fields on his Richmond county farm near Norman. Twenty-five young people met with Mrs. Jas. E. Phillips on Monday eve ning and organized a Glee Club. Of ficers elected were Miss Walker Wood ley, president; Miss Ruth Patterson, secretary and treasurer; Miss Irene Woodley, musician; and Mrs. Phillips, director. The club will meet on each Monday night. Mrs. Phillips is teach ing vocal music to several here and is very capable as director of the Glee Club. Miss Margaret McDonald who was a representative to the Young Peo ples’ Convention at Davidson College from the Christian Endeavor Society, gave an excellent report on Sunday •night. After the convention Miss Mc Donald visited relatives near Char lotte. Ruell McLeod who represented the Sunday School says his best report is his younger brothers worked his two acres of tobacco and it is now looking good, and he is in hopes that prices will be good so that he can defray his college expenses when he goes to State College for his Agricul tural course. There will be a meeting of the citi zens of Mineral Springs township at the West End school building on Wed nesday evening to discuss educational matters. There has been no school in the county that made such rapid pro gress as ours. The entire community has pulled for a good school and now we have an accredited high school, and no graduate has to stand an en trance examination in any college, and none of those graduating this year and attending summer school for teachers will have to stand an examination to teach. Nelson B. Jones, of Fayetteville, who is advertising manager for the Observer, spent the week-end with home folks. L. C. McCaskill, another one of our boys who is making good in the advertising end of a daily paper, was at home a week before. Mr. Mc Caskill is with the Raleigh Times. Henry Wheeler, the 18 months old one central office in Fresno. Our g owers swear by Co-operative Mar keting. I would like for those men who have been handing out circulars (against co-operative marketing) to hand them out in California town. It is not the growers—it is the merchants and the bankers who would drive them out, because this movement has made everybody in the rural districts pros perous and it keeps the profits at home, where they were raised, with the farmers and the local merchants and the local bankers.—Aaron Sapiro. died early Tuesday morning after a few days illness with colitis. The remains were carried to Wadeville on Tuesday afternoon where the burial took place in the Bruton family bury ing plot in their church yard, with W. H. Brown of the M. E. church, conducting services at the grave. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Bruton and family have the sympathy of the entire com munity in the loss of their only son and brother. Miss Dorothy Jones, who holds a position in Durham, is spending her vacation with her people here. Mrs. J. T. Ellis is spending some time in the mountains in the western part of the state. The local ball team met defeat at the hands of the Ashley Heights team at Aberdeen, Saturday afternoon. R. G. Frye, of Carthage, who is a We suppose it won’t be long now candidate for sheriff, was here again before they’ll be staging “Ten Nights j on Friday. Mr. Frye is a very clever at a Soda Fountain.” | (Continued on page 11) Another way for parents to keep their daughters at home is to feed them onions.
