LATH CROPS.
The crops, both cotton and corn
are showing the effects ot a late
spring and too much rain, t lotion
at this time, June 2ti, should be
at least ten inches in height, while
a majority of the fields we have
seen, it is scarcely six inches in
height. The crop is at least a
month behind. If the boll weevil
should come in great numbers, as
predicted, he will surely have a
feast in August. All the tobacco
we have seen, in riding along the
jnghyay.., fook- fairly good.
There are few fields of corn that
will average knee high. There is
an old saying that a poor start
makes a good ending. We hope
it will prove true regarding the
1924 crop.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
C.Ilircful inspection of premises
ill business and residemiul sections
of town shows there is room for
better sanitation. There is a ten
dency everywhere for the people
to neglect moving tin cans and
buckets that hold water to breed
mosquitoes, and the most danger
ous conditions are filthy cow and
horse stables that are breeding Hies
to carry disease germs. Flies are
responsible for some of our most
dangerous diseases Typhoid Fever
and summer diseases of babies, so
we cannot he too careful.
Anyone maintaining stables ol
any type are requested to put same
in sanitary condition at once. Clean
them out, see that they are dry,
and put lime in stables and barn
yards, when stables are cleaned
out put material in fly-proof bin ;
or cover with lime or kerosene oil

I:\LNI V MATCH It)
The base ball clubs of Weldon, j
Roanoke Rapids, Fmpori.t and
Henderson are evenly matched so
far as the players are concerned. I
When you enter the grounds and i
endeavor to pick the winning team, !
you will do well to "watch your I
step," or you will leave a sadder I
but a wiser rpan |f one of the
players should make t wrong play
or drop the ball, the chances are I
that side will lose out. The game
Is very scientifically played in this
day and generation and don’t you
cease to remember that.
BRAUTIFUL PEACHES.
We want to (hauls our young
friend Mr. Albert Garner for two '
bankets lull of the prettiest peaches
ever grown in Halifax county.
Mr. Garner has a large peach
orchard and the trees are hanging
full this year. It you should want
some of the prettiest peaches you
ever saw, just speak to Mr. Garner
about it They are delicious.

NX ith the comm crop in upper
I lalifa\ ten to twelve w eeks lute, u
wet season up to the present time,
and boll weevils already having
I been found at work three miles,
north of Hnfield, we are sure to
1 have weevil damage this season
With cotton bringing us $3,500,
| 000 of the $5,049,000 received
I from our three principal cash crops
1 of c hi in, p .units and tobacco it is
j absolutely necessary that our farm
ers lake steps ai once to meet the
weevil menace.
Statistics show that Halifax coun
ty spends annually $5,004,000 !
tor feed stuffs and home supplies
which is more than die combined
income of cotion, peanuis and to
bacco. Such a condition as this |
tl continued in the face of hull
weevil damage will surely mean
bankruptcy for our county We
believe the most important thing to
be done is the production of food
jnd feed stub's. Under normal
conditions it is economic suicide
for farmers to depend upon the
merchants to supply them with
corn, hay and meat. Under boll
weev il conditions it is nothing short
of bankruptcy for built the farmer
and ihe merchant.
11 is our opinion that every far
mer in Halifax county should pro
duce corn, hay and meat this year
to supply the farm needs for next
| year li is also our opinion tlini
j supply merchants and landlords
should require tltt-ir customers and
tenants to produce their supplies
tins year if they expect to be fi
nanced next year.
\X’e also urge that every farmer,
tenant or londlord, begin to pre
pare to combat weevils ibis season. !
We recommend the dry calcium
arsenate method used according to
the directions of the t . S. depart
ment of Agriculture, the State De
partment of Agriculture, and the
two county agents. Beware of
salesmen with patented remedies
and traps that do not carry the ap
proval of tlie Government author
