MEETING AT HALIFAX.
Two Hundred Farmers Hear Ad
dresses on the Holl Weevil.
The Boll Weevil meeting at Hal
ifax on Friday was well attended ‘
and a very prulitable meeting for
those present. Tour people talked
on every angle on cotton growing
under boll weevil conditions. Mr.
Garren, of the State College, was
the first speaker. He emphasized
the necessity of good cultural meth
ods, staling that good preparation
and a good careful thorough culti
vation were of more importance
now than ever before. Me also
particularly stressed the value of
good seed,showing that while good
seed only added a dollar more ex
pense per acre very often it in
creased the yield of lint cotton as
much as 50 to 75 pounds per acre
and sometimes as much as a hun- ;
dred pounds. He recommended
Wannamaker’s Cleveland Big Boll
or Mexican Big Boll as besi suited i
to our cdunty.
The next speaker was Mr. C A. j
VC hi t tie, of the Soil Improvement
Committee Southern Fertilizer As- j
sociation. Mr. Whittle spoke par- j
ticularly upon fertilizing cotton
under weevil conditions. He rec
ommended liberal use of high
grade fertilizer, and stressed that
it was cheaper to use high grade
goods to eliminate freight, hauling,
and distributing the extra w'eight
in low grade fertilizers. For clay
soils he suggested the use of 10
to 12 per cent, of phosphoric acid,
3 to 4 per cent, nitrogen, and 2 to
3 per cent, potash, and for sandy
lands 8 to 10 per cent, phosphoric
acid, 3 to 5 per cent, nitrogen and
3 to 4 per ct.potash. Mr. Whittle ad
vised the use of all ammonia under
the cotton at planting time or then
applied as a top dressing not later
than at chopping time, with
no late applications. Fie also sug
gested the use of nitrate of soda or
some otherquickly available source
of ammonia to supply at least one
half to two-thirds of the total am
monia.
l)r. J. O. Taylor followed Mr.
Whittle and talked on the life, his
tory and habits of the weevil. Dr.
Taylor gave the farmers many se
crets of the weevil and taught them
many things about the habits, likes
and dislikes of the weevil dealing
particularly with his life in the win
ter quarters.
Mr. Mabee, of the N. C. Exper
iment Station, spoke on the pois
oning as a means of direct control.
He advised farmers to stick to the
Government method of using dry
calcium arsenate applied as a dust
with proper guns, following direc
tions of the Department closely.
Farmers were warned not to pur
chase patented remedies and traps
of various kinds as they were un
satisfactory. Mr. Mabee stated
that our farmers must realize that
they have a fight and a hard light
to make cotton with the weevil
present, but that it could be done
very profitably. After the meeting
a demonstration of dusting was
given with one of the three row
dusting machines in the rear of the
court house.

addressed students and
TEACHERS.
Mrs. J. G. Fearing, of Elizabeth
City, Director of Safety Education
of Eastern Carolina, was in town
last week and and addressed the
students and teachers at the new
High School Auditorium at nine
o'clock. A condensed report fol
lows :
"Carelessness cause of so many
terrible tires and accidents in this
State”
Is not a thing to be proud of, but
a great national sin. "Form habits
of carefulness early in life."
Nothing is truer than the old
maxim "Ounce of Prevention, bet
ter than a pound ol cure.” Fire
loss in North Carolina last year
was $6,000,000 337 lives lost.
812 nice dwelling houses, 50
school houses, 25 churches. North
Carolina needs these lives and she
needs this property. Would pay
salary of all teachers, both white
and black, for live months.
"We inoculate to prevent small
pox, typhoid, and other diseases,
We irrigate our lands to prevent
stagnation, we must "Educate to
prevent this awful loss of life and
property in our State. Organize
“Safety Leagues” in school.
Offering prize of $10 first and
$5 second for best safety play
written by pupil.
Appealed to teachers and to boys
and girls to aid in helping our great
State and nation to become safer,
healthier, more efficient and more
useful to humanity.

The angels used the weeping suits
In pinning back the clouds.
I he shades of gloom and woe prevailed
O'er all the land and sea.
And eyes iliai were unused to tears
Now wept For Robert Lee.
A Christian, Soldier, true and brave,
Beloved, near and afar,
He was the first in time of peace,
And first in time of war.
Virginia, never reared a son
More brave and good than be,
Save one, and he was Washington
Who lived and died like Lee.
The nation wept, when cruel death
Into his mansion stole
Bui the angels in the “Better land”
Received in his peaceful soul.
For that belonged to God alone,
He gave it to Him free,
And left the South the fame and name
Of Robert Edward Lee.
His peaceful sword is laid away
His work on earth is done,
He loved the people in the South,
They idolized their son.
There’s not a woman, man or child,
I care not where they be
Throughout the still sweet Sunny South,
But loved the name of Lee.
He had no enemies on earth,
There’s not a voice that can
Say naught against the name of Lee,
The Soldier or the Man.
And that would be a proud cold heart
That e’er would cease to be
The place where memory wrot - the name
Of Robert Edward Lee.
Bow down thy heads ye Southern sons,
A Few brief moments spend,
In weeping for the loss of or.
Who lived and died your triend.
He loved you as he loved his fife,
And when on bended kite-.
Look up, and let the angels hear
Your prayer: “God Bless Our Lee."

There was not a rift somewhere.
We never knew an hour so drear
Love could not fill it full of cheer.
