Early Poisoning Checks Weevils Pre-square poisoning to control the boll weevil is expected to find a wider response from North Caro lina cotton growers this year, says J. 0. Rowell, extension entomologist at State College. Although the value of this early treatment as an aid in fighting the weevil is not fully supported by ex perimental evidence in North Caro lina, South Carolina growers have reported good results from its use, Rowell 3aid. Field demonstrations in North Carolina last season also in dicated good results for the method. Liquid poisoning by mopping has several advantages over dusting as a pre-square treatment, the State Coljege entomologist pointed out. For the mopping method, no expensive equipment is involved, the cost of materials is slightly less, and ap plication may be made during any part of the day. The liquid poison as generally used, is composed of one pound of calcium arsenate, one gallon of cheap molasa es, and one gallon of water. It is prepared by adding the arsenate to the water, stirring thoroughly, and then adding the molasses. This quantity is sufficient for an acre of cotton. Only the amount needed for each day should be mixed at one time. If over-wintered weevils are num erous on the young plants, from one to three pre-square poison applica tions at 5 to 7-day intervals should be made. Treatment is advisable when weevils occur at the rate of 30 ior more per acre. Poisoning should be started just as soon as the squares begin to form, and before they are large enough for the weevils to puncture. f The liquid mixture may be applied l with a home-made mop, constructed by tying a piece of cloth or sack to one end of a light board five feet long and two to three inches wide. ! If rain occurs within 24 hours, the treatment should be repeated. Our own advice is: Trade in Farm ville. ^ Sure Signs Of Spring ? . ? 1 .. i ' Spring ia here when motorists dig oat the road maps and lay their plans for seeking the "open road," and sailors the country over begin their annual "fitting-out" activities, preparing sleek water craft for the first jaunt of the sea son.

Fail To Ape On Farm Fond Senate - House Confer ence Unable To Reach Compromise Washington, April 25. ? A joint conference committee abandoned ef forts today to break a month's dead lock of the agriculture appropriations bill. It reported a hopeless disagree ment on Senate additions of $347, 000,000 to the measure. Senator Russell (D.-Ga.) one of those who have been working in an attempt to iron out Senate and House differences on what to include in the bill, said the effect of today's ac tion would be to send back to the House for a separate vote Senate amendments providing for $212,000, 000 in parity payments, $85,000,000 for disposal of surplus farm crops and $50,000,000 for loans for farm tenants. Russell said Senate conferences re fused to yield on the Senate action in adding these amounts to the $714, 000,000 in agricultural appropriations approved by the House of February 2.. The Senate voted $922,864,688 in farm funds with $90,000,000 addit ional provided in loans for agricul tural purposes. In conferences lasting about a month many compromise proposals were offered and rejected. Russell said the conferees finally concluded that they could not oome to an agree ment today when a House compromise on the parity payment addition to the bill was turned down by Senators.

SHARP RISE IN FARM WAGE RATE REPORTED The general level of farm wage rates advanced about twice as much as usual from January 1 to April 1, the Agricultural Marketing Service reports. At 124 per cent of the 11910-14 level, farm wage rates on April 1 were 5 points higher than the Janu ary index, 3 points above April 1 a year ago, and the highest April 1 figure since 1931. But the increase in the number of workers, employed was less than usual during the three month period. The increase in wage rates, attri buted largely to a decline in the sup ply of farm labor and to an increase in the demand, were noted in all sectiona of the country. Most of the increase in the general level was ac counted for by the increase in month ly wage rates with rates per day un changed to only slightly higher. Numbers of both family and hired farm labor increased less than the usual seasonal amount from January to April and were substantially below the annual average of the 1910-14 period. On April 1 the number of persons working on farms was esti mated at 9,797,000. This compares with 8,641,000 family and hired work ers employed on January 1, and 9, 960,000 on April 1 a year ago. Weather Bureau reports indicate that the season was still backward around April 1 with farm work bar ing retarded in nearly all main agri cultural districts btntntt of uneeee* onable conditions. Wet topsoil and cold weather combined to limit field work in many areas although good progress was being made in mag Southern sections. . | W- ? ? . - . ' .

The ICC estimated the North Carolina rates were causing a loss of revenue to the railroads of about $57, 000 annually, as compared with the interstate rate. The lower North Carolina rates were prescribed by the State Utilities Commission in June, i 1987. The ICC rale that there was no transportation competition or other circumstances which would justify a lower level of class rates intrastate in North Carolina than applies on in terstate traffic. Raleigh, April J 5.?Utilities Com missioner Stanley Winbourne said today study would be given to a pos sible appeal to the United States Su preme Court from an Interstate Com merce Commission order that the Utilities Commissidn put intrastate "class" rates at the same level as interstate railroad freight rates. "We can appeal to the United States Supreme court and that is be ing given consideration," said Win bourne. "We feel that our lower in trastate rates are justified." MASS BURIAL Natchez, Miss., Apr! 26.?Natchez officials speeded preparations today, for burial of 198 Negroes who lost their lives when flames racing thru festooned Spanish moss trapped them in a one-exit dance hall. The bodies, most of them still un identified, filled three Negro under taking establishments.
