COUNTY AGENT
BUSY TREATING
TOBACCO SEED
Seed for Over 300000 Square
Yards of Beds Treated
Up To Yesterday
PREVENTS DISEASES
Formula and Instructions for Making
And Using Formaldehyde
Solution
County Agent T. B. Brandon has
had a busy week treating tobacco seed
for farmers all over the county. Up
until late yesterday afternoon, Mr.
Brandon had treated seed for over
800,000 square yards of tobac
co beds, and he continues at the task
in his office. It was stated that the
treatment of seed is of /great im
portance, and Mr. Brandon is anxious
that all fanners ity'th*/ county pre
pare their seed or bring them to him
for treatment.
"Angular leaf spot and widfire of
tobacco are of common occurrence in
Martin County," Mr. Brandon stated,
"and it is safe to say that there are
few fields entirely free of these di
seases. Angular leaf spot in particu
lar occurs with niurh prevalence and
does serious damaige . from year to
year. The following preventatives, if
carried out Mr. Brandon
declared, "will greatlY reduce the oc- ;
currence of both the\ angular leaf
spot and wifdfire diseases."
1. Selection of locatioh for plant
beds. Select a new location for the
. plant bed as often as possible on land
that U well drained.
Seed treatment. Tobacco seed should
be treated with a formaldehyde so
lution prepared by mixing one table
apoon full of formaldehyde with one
pint ef water. Place the treating so
lution in a fruit jar and put the seed
in a cloth sack (the sack should not
be filled more than half full of
seed); then dip seed in solution in
fruit jar, for exactly ten Tninutes.
Precaution should be taken to stir the
seed, so that all seed within the
sack are wet with the soltuion. At the
end of ten minutes remove and wash
aeed thoroughly in several changes
of water, until the odor of formalde
hyde is gone, then spread out in a
warm room to dry.
The seed may be left in the sack !
for washing out the formaldehyde, !
providing the seed are worked about j
with the hands, in order to insure i
water reaching all parts. Use several
changes of water. The drying is best |
done by spreading the seed out on i
paper in a warm room.
. Plant bed covers. Old plant bed j
covers which are, to be used again
this year should be disinfected by !
bdiling them in water for forty min
utes or longer.
Plants for Setting in the Field. Se J
lect the most vigorous plants and
thole tfrft- in fnw trnpn nHfrenif
("Walloon" or "calico"), and leaf
spots, when drawing plants from the
bed.
Removal of Diseased Plants. Re
move from the field and burn 4he first
plants showing signs of mosaic or
leaf spots, in order to prevent spread.
Crop Rotation. Several of the more
common tobacco diseases are known
to live over in the soil from one seas
on to the next. The rotation of crops
on tobacco soils is of importance,
therefore, from the standpoint of di
sease cdhtrol, as well as that of soil
fertility.
W. T. Stone Shows Are

The W. T. Stone shows were booked
for the 1928 Roanoke Fair by Man
ager John L. Rodgerson at a meet
ing of fair secretaries held in Rich
mond the early part of this week.
Mr. Rodgerson stated that there

TEACHERS AND
PARENTS MEET
Field Worker for State As
sociation Is Principal
Speaker
At a regular meeting of th£ par
ents-teachers' association here yester
day afternoon, Mrs. W W. Martin,
field worker for the State Parents-
Teachers' organization, addressed fifty
members on the subject of "Higher
Purposes of Parents-Teachers' Work."
■ The purposes mentioned and explain
ed were parental education and the
relation of local units to national or
ganization in formulating policies and
setting up standards in schools.
Mrs. Martin is connected with the
North Carolina College for Women
and has covered the entire State,
making speeches in behalf of parents
teachers' work and effecting organiza
tions. Finding the association here a
member of the State Federation of
Parents-Teachers organization, she
dismissed the idea of having to per
suade her audience to organize and
chose to speak on the "higher and
finer phases of the work."
In speaking of educating for par
enthood, she quoted figures to show
! that due to our lack of knowledge in
the fundamentals of child training
and health protecting we were losing
in health of children from birth to the
age of six. Children are born at the
per cent, of !J4 perfect; that is, 94
out of every hundred born aie pro
nounced by physicians to be in per
fect condition. At the age of six, the
number of the same hundred chil
dren enjoying perfect health and
sound minds is 49. "Why not," asked
the speaker, "preserve what nature
has given us instead of letting it de-1
cay and be dissipated through ignor
ance of nature's laws?" She advo
cates a more thorough training on
the part of parents in both the
physiology and the psychology of
children. Not only may the frets and
tantrums of children be changed into
sleep, and playfulness by proper at
tention, but, according to Mrs. Mar
tin, the wanderings of adolesence can
be anticipated by wise and thoughtful
parents who have an understanding
about the human instincts and im
pulses and what they demand.
The speaker gave no little praise
to G. Stanley Hall and others who!
blazed the trail of scientific child
training.
The way to get the ends for which 1
focal organizations strive is to func-1
tion as a unit in the National organi- |
zatlon, for law makers and those in i
authority to listen only to the ex-1
pressed wishes of the large organized
group. Instead of giving all time, 
money and interest to local problems,,
it was urged upon the local club to
back the Federation as the best means J
of relief. With a solid front, backed '
by the organized motherhood, the
work of the Parents/Teachers' Associ- ;
ation of America will be effective,
And the speaker assured the audience
that as those principles and policies
fostered by such an organization were
given respect and importance, citizen
ship through the training of children
would be raised. Strong and well
balanced minds would be the price
less possession of active and vigorous
bodies of both men and women. The
enlightenment of parents would assure
this more than any other thing avail
able believed Mrs. Martin.
START COUNTY

Tournament
The preliminary games in the county
basketball championship seriel were
played this week, Everctts winning
over Robersonville 38 to 6 and Wil
liamston nosing out ahead of Farm
Life, 11 to 9. Bear Grass hasn't a

that school and Jamesville was called
off. Reports of other games were not
obtainable this morning.
Next week the same teams will
meet again, and if the winners of
this week win again next, the first
set of games will be completed. Should
Farm Life; for example, win over
Williamston, then another game will

two teams winning in the two terri
torial section of the county will meet,
and then the winners in each section
will meet to decide the county cham
pions.

Mr. Hoyt B. Barber is contesting
the hog-raising championship in
Jamesville township with his neigh
bor, Mr. Bob Sexton.
Mr. Barber killed 25 one-year old

FERTILIZER TEST I
ON PEANUTS TO
BE MADE IN MAY
Expert of Holland Firm
Here Yesterday Making
Arrangements
NOW STUDYING SOILS
Making Experiments All Over East
Carolina; Definite Plans Not
Yet Completed
Mr. A. H. Harris, of the Agricul
tural and Scientific Bureau of the
Potash Export Company, Ltd., Am
sterdam, Holland, was here yester
day making arrangements with Coun
ty Agent T. B. Brandon for holding
a demonstration in peanut growing
in this county the early part of May.
Mr. Harris, for a number of years a
county agent in this State, is par
ticularly interested in the raising of
peanuts, and is preparing demonstra
tions for the entire eastern part of
North Carolina this year.
While the plans for the demonstra
tion in this county were not made
complete yesterday, it is understood
that Mr. Harris with County Agent
j T. B. Brandon will make a study of
certain soilg in the county, and apply
| certain fertilizer formulas in the test.
' Between one and two acres will be
used in testing the fertilizer formula
j in this county.
Mr. Harris stated that similar
tests have caused noticeable results
in many of the peanut growing sec
tions of Virginia, and that he sees no
.reason why the experiments should
not prove highly beneficial to farmers
in this State and county.
PLEAD GUILTY OF
MAKING LIQUOR
« ft
Two Men Caught at Still
Admit Charge; One
Other Freed
Caught in the act, there was noth
ing else for Alexander Williams and
David Cooper to do but plead guilty
before Judge Bailey here last Tues
day of manufacturing liquor. Levi
Rogers, in the same oase, plead not
guilty and the court dismissed him
when it was learned that he mas only
a visitor at the plant. Williams was
released under a s6oo'bond until next
Tuesday when judgment will be pro
nounced by Recorder Bailey. Cooper,
a Bertie county Negro, and bootleg
ger, failed in his bond and is now
awaiting sentence which will be
handed down next Tuesday.-
Officers S. H Grimes and H. O.
Daniel answered the call from Crosi*
Roads township the early part of last
week, and making their visit in a
very quiet way, they were able to
jcgash the scene of action
They watched the operations for a
while, and just before they started
to make known their presence, the
operators made the discovery and
started for the woods. Cooper was
caught by officer (Jrimes, and a war
rant brought the other two men into
court. The 65-gallon capacity still,
ten gallons of liquor and about 600
gallons of beer were destroyed.
"Cotton," As Seen By
An Enterprise Reader
Cotton, as viewed by one of our
readers:
"Cotton is the overcoat of a seed
that is planted and grown in the
Southern States to keep the producer
broke and the buyer crazy. The fibre
varies in color and weight, and the
man who can guess nearest its length
is called a cotton buyer by the public,
a fool by the farmer and a poor bus
iness man by the banker. The price
of cotton is determined in New York
and goes up- when you have sold and
down when you have bought. A buyer j
working for a group of mills was
sent to New York to watch the cotton
market and after a few days' de
liberation he wired his firm to this
effect: Some think jt will go up and
tome think it will go down, 1 do too.
• What ever you do will be wrong, act
at once.
"Cotton is planted in the spring,
mortgaged in"the summer, and left
in the field in winter.
"You can and you can't; you will
and yofr won't. Be damned careful if
you do, and be damned if you don't."
Rocky Mount Airplane

Representatives of Hinnant-Nash
Company, fliers of Rocky Mount, are

several months they have been car
rying passangers up in the various

been in active service in the American
Air Forces.
School Site Problem Tabled
At Board Meet
The question of selecting a Site
for the proposed new school build
ing waa tabled by the Board of
Education in its meeting here last
Wednesday. Unsatisfactory prices
prevented a selection, it was un
officially stated yesterday.
Recommendations from the lo
cal school committee were placed
before the county body, and were
regarded as favorable. However,
the recommendations failed to be
of value in the face of the price
element entering into the matter.

East Carolina Warehouses
To Close Friday, Jan. 27
Aii Eastern Carolina tobacco ware
houses are closing the season on
January 27th, giving the farmers only
one more week to bring in the last
loads. The warehousemen think all
farmers will be able to finish grading
and get their tobacco on the market
by that time.
The post-holiday sales have fell far
below the expectations of the ware
housemen throughout this part of the
State, and it is believed that the crop
.report of December 31st, will be
changed but very little by January
sales. a
. . . T 1 \
Timber, may be worked as a payi**
crop on the farm. Thin out the
and undesirable trees so that the bA
ter trees may grow and be harvested
for timber as they mature, is the
method now being used by many
progressive farmers.
Therecommendations going from
the olfice of the local committee
to the County Board favored the
Rhodes site and the Martin
property. *
Ideas entertained in regards to
where the building should be plac
ed are as many as there are cit
izens in the town, and we have
quite a few of them, but the lat
est trend of though centers upon
a spot of land adjoining the lot
of Mr. Claud Griffin in New Town
as a possible site. The site there
faces William street. . «.
Jamesville basketball team turned
back Maysville's undefeated five last
night 16 to 14. in one of the best
games played here this season. The
county lads were leading at the half,
but from then to the end of the regu
lar game, first one team and then the
other was in the lead. A large number
of spectators urged the Martin boys
on, and the team's members did heed
the commands, but the end of the
regular period found the score tied
11 all. An extra period was called.
One minute passed and the score
remained the same; each team con
tinued to hold to its defense until
Brown, for Jamesville, tore away to
carry the ball the diftance of the
court and add two points to his team's
-sty)re. The visitors staged a healthy
comeback, but Jamesville's defense
strengthened, and Maysville's at
tempts score were futile.
The two teams will meet here again
tomorrow night it, was announced by
Professor J. L. Jones this morning.
The defeat last .night was Maysville's
first this season, and the game tomor
row night, while it can be no better
than the one last night, is expected to
be equally as good.
Following the Jamesville-Mays
ville game, the local town team_fac
ed an all-star five from Washington
and was turned back 35 to 1&. While
this was the first gaifie of the season
for the locals, the score of the game
upset all previous dope, and will
cause a more strenuous practice sche
dule during the next few days to be
followed
