His "Journal on the Circuit" is a val uable document for studying the life >f the people about the time that Zebulon Baird Vance came down from the mountains.

That was in the days when Jewell Hill, located a few miles north of Marshall, was the county seat of Madison The following entry is a familiar entry: "I noticed a good deal of drinking going on today; and whis key drinkers have today,' I suppose, been carrying out this very consist ent principle of that class: That to drink in damp and cold weather will warm them and to drink in hot wea ther it will cool them." Merrimon reported concerning court day at Jewell Hill that about night the crowd was getting in a "weaving way." There.were twenty or thirty women in the court crowd, and most of them were drunk or par tially so.

Blue Mold Control To Consent* Cloth i Farmers who are alarmed over the shortage'of tobacco plant bed cloth, (lUe to the war emergency, will do well to consider blue mold control this year, says Howard (lan is. Fx tension plant pathologist of N C State College. By -growing more j plants in smaller beds, the supply of cloth will be conserved. ! It is the general practice of num erous tobacco growers to Seed double the amount of plant bed space act ually needed to produce their crop, Garriss explained. They do this in order to insure a supply of plants in j case the blue mold disease attacks, i Even under normal conditions this is an expensive practice, the plant pathologist declared When the excess plant bed space is used, it means a corresponding1 increase in seed, cloth and fertilizer. men attend this court for the solo purpose of drinking " The next day the judge ordered that the whiskey wagon bo removed, an I there was not as much disturbance from drunk j onness. One January day in 1854 Merri mon recorded concerning the Yan cey county court that only two or I three cases were disposed of and that they were handled in the rudest manner. He continued: ' The more I see of the County Courts, the more 1 wish to *eo them abolished. Drunk enness has reigned today.

If the spray meth od of controlling blue mold is used, the total cost per 100 square yards of bed is about $2.45 per season. If the fumigation method of control is employed, the cost will run from $6.00 to $6.50 per 100 square yards. Uarriss pointed out that only two | methods of blue mold control are recommended by the "Extension Service and the N. C. Experiment Station. One involves the use -if "PDB gas" (paradichlorobenzene) ; and this is the fumigation method mentioned above. The other employs1 a copper-oxide spray. The PDB control is successful both as a preventive and a cure for the disease. The spray will not usually prevent attack but is effective in' treating plants which have become diseased.
