It is the report of the annual assembly of the grand council of the Royal and Select Masters. The publication is a pam phlet of about 70 pages, a fair pro portion being rather intricate tabular work. As this is not the first time this shop has printed the annual re port for this organization, it is ap parent that the class of work done by the Pilot is acceptable, a matter, to tell the truth, that is right well known through this section. BULLETIN ON PEACHES A bulletin entitled “The Plum Cur* culio on Peaches and Its Control,” has recently been issued by the North Carolina Extension Service of the Department of Agriculture. The bul letin has been prepared by Dr. R. W. Leiby and Mr. J. A. Harris, located at the State's field insect laboratory at Aberdeen, and gives an account of the habits of the curculio and recommend ations for its control. This publica tion is based on the investigation of these two entomologists covering the years 1922 and 1923. We are advised that copies of this bulletin will soon be mailed to peach growers. Extra copies may be se cured by writing Dr. Leiby at Aber deen, or from the editor of the Ag ricultural Department at Raleigh.

NIAGARA Mr. Augustus Abrams and wife, who spent a few days here with Mr. and Mrs. George McDermott, while en- route from Florida, have now departed for their home in Long Island, N. Y. Mr. Cha&. H. Davidson and wife, who have spent the winter in Orlando, Florida, arrived here the past week, and have leased rooms for a few weeks before going on to their home in Rochville Centre, Long Island, N. Y. Rev. George Lefevre and sister, who have been guests at the Hazel cot tage for the past few days, left on Monday morning for their home in Forest Glenn, N. Y. Last Sunday morning service at the church were very interesting. The house was well filled and an excellent sermon was delivered by Rev. Lefevre; then helpful talks by the pastor. Rev. Davies. And we could not give too much comment on the musical pro gramme; the regular choir was so ably assisted by Mr. Stevens and Mrs. E. W. Marble, that all who were not present missed a rare treat. Mrs. H. M. Robertson and Mrs. H. E. Burgen, who have spent the win ter in Florida, are guests in our vil lage for a few days while enroute to their home in Niagara Falls, N. Y. TOE PILOT Friday, April 11,1924 THE FAMILY GARDEN NEC ESSARY THIS YEAR “The advent of the cotton boll wee vil into North Carolina calls for more diversified farming and the growing of sufficient vegetables and fruits for home use. In the past the growing of vegetables has been neglected in east ern Carolina, but with the changing conditions many people are now giv ing more attention to this important phase of agriculture,” says R. F. Payne, extension horticulturist for the State College of Agriculture. Mr. Payne states that every farm home in North Carolina should have a home garden large enough to give a sufficient supply of vegetables for the table every day in the year. Vege tables form a very important part of the diet, and no meal is complete without some. Our bodies demand certain elements to keep them in good working order. If these elements are not supplied and in the rijrht amounts, the penalty is poor health and high doctor bills. “Children are not receiving their just and lawful birthright unless they are supplied with the necessary food for* developing strong and healthy bodies,” says Mr. Pajme. “Many parents are willing to work early and late in or der to give their children some of the advantages they didn’t have, and yet they overlook the all-year gar den, something that costs very little and gives a profitable and varied re turn. “The surplus vegetables can be sold locally at a good profit. There is al ways a demand f-^r good, fresh vege tables and they can easily be grown in the home garden. A regular and profitable trade can quickly bo built up with the surplus, and thus a good cash crop is provided for practically every month in the year. “The size of the home garden de pends upon the size of tiie family and the amount of vegetables desired for local sales. Every garden should con tain some of the following: Leaf crops—lettuce, cabbage, spinach, kale, parsley, beet tips, collards, turnip tops; Petiole crops—celery, rhubarb; Stem crops—asparagus, potatoes, kohlrabi; Bulb crops—onions; Root crops—carrots, turnips, beets, radish es, sweet potatoes; Fruit crops—^toma toes, egg plant, peppers, string beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, cantaloupes, watermelons, squash; Seed crops— beans, peas.” PLAY Do you want to know “The Way To The Wishing Gate?” Then don’t fail to see the play by that name at t>»e Farm Life School Thursday, iVpril 17, at 7:30 p. m. The proceeds will go to the Dental Clinic. Missionary Party The most unique party of the sea son was given at Hotel Vass on the afternoon of April 1st, when Miss Lydia Auman entertained the Method ist Missionary society. Miss Auman, in clown suit and dunce cap, welcomed the guests at the entrance, and gave white dunce caps to the members of Circle two, the honorees, with instruc tion to wear them the entire after noon. In the cloak room up stairs, hats were laid aside and caps donned, and the merriment began. The re ception room was attractively deco rated in pink and white, and a profu sion of delicately colored pink and white arbutus gave a delightful breath of spring. The hostess, assisted by Misses Ma- zie Rast and Eva Oldham, also in cos tume, carried out a number of con tests in which Mrs. G. H. Simpson, Mrs. A. K. Thompson, Mis:? Be<<ie Cameron and Miss Georgia Conley were the winners. Each guest was called on to tell the most foolish thing she had ever done. Prizes were given for this. A member of Circle two was requested to sing a Chinese song, the words of which were “0 Wa Ta Goo Siam,” to be sung to the tune of America. (Try it). Miss Eva Old ham gave several humorous readings. Sandwiches, pickles and cocoa were served. Attractive favors were given, and they will be reminders of a most charming hostess who gave her guests an afternoon long to be remembered. R. G. ROSSER, M.
