('. H. Brairtion, extension entomol ogist at State College, says tobacco stalks left landing and growing in tho field after the leaf is harvested Ker.ve as food and breeding ground for millions of insects -which will go into winter-*quarters well, fed and healthy, prepared to emerge next spring .to again do untold damage to the crop. If entire neighborhoods would cooperate in destroying these stalks, damage from tobacco insects THE ENTERPRISE EXEftCISE BULL | TO KEEP HIM IN i FIT CONDITION jWhen Kept in Small Pens i Or Stalls Animals Often Become Vicious Bulls kept in small pens or stalls soon become vicious and unruly and do not .stay.iu the best breeding c>n dition. Neither is it wise to keep the animal's in the pasture with the cows. | Usually they become actually danger j ous. , "At Vaneeboro the other day, how . ever, I found a man who had solved the problem of handling an unruly bull to good advantage," says Fred M. Haig, dairyman at State College. "This farmer owned a bull that wa-- getting more vicious each day. Final ly, when the owner's patience had a bout become exhausted and he was ready to sell the animal for meat, he decided to make a joke and put the bull to work. After about two weeks 'of training, the bull was well broken and now works every day. The owner | said he had even used the animal in ; logging and that he was stronger than ' any mule on the farm. After a few weeks of hard work, the bull lust all signs of viciousness." This man not only kept a valuable animal but also got an extra dividend I from the labor performed. The bull got plenty of exercise as he was plac :ed in the pasture each night. Do not keep a scrub bull because he is gentle and don't kill a good, pure bull because he i* mean, says Haig. would l>e materially lessened. This, -says Mr. Brannon, is one of the moat important control measures that could be applied to the tobacco in sects. Then, too, he advises- the careful watching of the cotton fields for the boll weevil. It is true that the hot dry weather of July reduced infesta j tion. The weevil is very sensitive to weather conditions and when infected squares fall on the hot dry ground, usually the grub of the weevil is so scorched that he cannot live. Similar ly,. the grub finds ideal living condi tions when the season is moist and hot. .Continuous, rainy cloudy wea ther in August and through Septem ber will mean that the weevil will de stroy most of the late squares and will also attack the half-grown holls. Those who have calcium arsenate should be prepared to dust if the in festation reaches the regular ten per ' cent point. Those who cannot dust | should use surplus labor in picking j and burning squares or otherwise | fighting the weevil with such means ( as SKf available. j tt s-> LA ! MOSGUITOES Ibr, WIULIAMSTON NORTH CAROLINA —Newspaper Advertising— THIS IS WORTH READING Display advertising in which the articles adver tised are fully described has proved to be the most ef fective by far. Tests on advertising were made some time ago by the Chicago Tribune. Advertisements in which the descriptions of various articles were limited to one or two lines were run along with others carrying five lines of descriptive matter. The latter proved to have double the response. I"*"' Last Spring an Eastern concern made a complete canvass of its trade territory to ascertain the type of ad vertising with most appeal. Ninety per cent of those questioned were found to favor full description of mer chandise together with prices. A few favored price alone and a smaller number favored the general pres tige-building type. A merchant who is familiar with his own merchandise is apt to think because he knows every detail of the merchandise that every one else does. That is not true. People like to know just what they are going to buy; they like to have it described in detail, even to size and dimensions. Mail order houses discovered this early in the game, and they have gone so far as to illustrate practi cally every item of merchandise, some in colors, and described to the smallest detail. They sell entirely through the printed word. What an advantage the lo cal merchant has over the mail order catalog, if he Would advertise along similar lines. - • > Catalogs are printed twice a year, while your county newspaper is printed twice a week. The mer chant has the advantage of presenting seasonable ad vertising—he has the advantage of personal contact. The story of his goods is fresh each issue and the story is news. He has the advantage of the newcomers in the trade .territory and the younger people who marry, who, before, had no thought of where to buy. The field is always widening for the local merchant if he has the vision to go out and fight for the business. To fight for business, all that is necessary is proper advertising, which will sell the people on his store. The * merchant who advertises for business with regularity, rain or shine, good roads or bad, is the merchant who is making advertising successful for him. The fact that people know where his store is means little. People like to know just what this merchant is doing, what new merchandise he has and why they should buy it This is a day of competition and advertising leads the way. The Enterprise ' J. H.
