WITH THE $ ambler | ifiS £•) /N^ l <g-.yCsyg^wa.-<ai^/frw£wftwftwft<SxSxSX!fo<s>4fr4fr Two Tar Heels Paul Dunlap, Siler City’s hero, and Johnnie Peacock, two ex-Carolina athletes, are still carrying on their fight to reach every baseball players’ heaven —she major leagues. Above is a picture of the two boys when they played in the Albemarle league. It was indeed a very fortu nate happening that I happened to get a picture of both of them when they were not aruging at each otflier. But the shot was taken when they were playing an exhibition game as teammates thus explaining the smiles of Dunlap as the strutting Peacock throws out his chest and brags of his home-runs. Since leaving the old Albemarle they have continued their race to the top. Peacock went to Wilmington of the Piedmont, and then to Toronto, where, although not a regular, hi does his part as a pindh-hitter, and also plays in the outfield and catches part of the time. Peacock at pres ent seems to have the best of the deal. Paul Dunlap went to Asheville of the Piedmont, where he made good and this year he started with Bing hampton of the N. Y. P. league. He evidently could not quite make the class A ball and has returned to the Piedmont where he is playing with the Norfolk tars. The fight is still oij, and the bet ting is even as to which is the best ball player and which one will break into the big time. Joe Lou's By the looks of things, Joe Louis, the 200 pound Negro, is a regular knockout artist in the boxing world. The beating he gave Primo Camera last week which ended in six rounds shows the Negro to be a real threat to the heavyweight championship. Eemember, it took Max Baer eleven rounds to give “De Preen” enough a year ago to win the heavyweight championship. Louis is to fight one bout a month and if he gets by Maxie—watch out. There will be another Negro heavy weight champion of the world. For unless a major upset happens, and Baer doesn’t stop him, Braddock will not prove much trouble to Louis. But when he meets Baer in September, if Maxie will get in his old form, the black threat will find a very solid j wall to get over. It has been rumored that Louis is backed by one of the biggest gangs of the Middle West, and they have helped the Negro from an unknown of a year ago to the best of the heavyweights—why couldn’t they get him the rest of the way? More German Jots Last week the white June German in Rocky Mount was out done by the colored one. Anybody who has ever attended a dance sponsored by the “Cotton Club” of Edenton knows the Negroes do really have a good time wjien they go to a dance. Well, their June German last week in Rocky Mount was something of this order only it was done in “class.” It was not formal but some of the men were wearing tuxedos and a few had on long tail coats —real class, huh? Others had on white jackets and were right in time. But before morn ing, most of them had discarded fheir coats and ties and looked a; though they had been swimming. The girls all had on evening dresser and had paid their own way to the dance and from what I could see — there were more of the feminenes Ilian their opposite sex on the floor. And perfumes—whew! Every odor from good to five and ten cent store toilet water had been doused on these dark-skinned maidens. A word about the band—Jimmie Lunceford—one of the best colored bands in the business. He had a trumpet player who could hit the “impossible” high notes —Better than good! And a clarinet player—boy. he was even better at fingering the keys on his instrument than the editor of The Herald was at his prime. If you recall, the editor once played a clarinet in Edenton’s Muni cipal Band. Lunceford’s band as a whole was a better band, and played a better class of music than any of his fel lowmen. And the whole June Ger man was a real success. Not as many notables were present as at the white German, but that didn’t matter to the dancers. Mr. Baer Weds It seems that everybody is getting married in these “after-depression" days—even the prize-fighters. Max Baer went and done it a second time last week wifii a young lady frqm Washington JD. C. She must t love flfaT or elan she would marry him away from him. Poppa Baer said he hoped she did love his son and make him settle down. Maybe tihat’s what he needs. Who knows? Shirley Again It seems as though Mule Shirley just can’t stay on the right track. He has been fired from the Chatta nooga ball club again. And it look ed like he was beginning to take his baseball seriously. Since his last escapade and marriage (he had been working hard, hitting at a .330 mark and managed his Chattanooga Look outs to third place in the Southern Association. Huey Long's Louisiana is marked as his downfall. The first time he broke training at New Orleans, but promised to give up his bad habits and was reinstated. And last week while at Memphis he could not be located at game time. Maybe Huey told Mule that he should quit baseball and become a lientenant-govemor or something. But according to reports, he is out for good with Chattanooga. f CROSS ROADS ( \ J Mr. J. C. Leary spent the week-end in Washington, N. C-, w|fh Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

In the experiments it was found . that where the fertilizer was applied in bands on both sides of the seed ten e times as much cotton survived un - favorable soil and weather conditions s as was tlie case where the fertilizer . was placed directly under the seed, r This was a greater difference than ; had been found in previous years, i said Dr. H. B. Mann, agronomist in soil fertility at the N. C. Agricultu i ral Experiment Station, but it bears i out the fact that the side placement i of fertilizer gives the best result. » On an average during the past four i years, he added, the seed germina , tion was twice as great with the side ; hand method of application » This method also gave an average 5 yield of 1,514 pounds of seed cotton ; to the acre, as compared with 1,080 - pounds when the fertilizer was placed under the rows. 5 The ideal placement, Dr. Mann r said, appears to be in narrow bands ■ about two inches below the level of ■ the seed and two and a half inches > to each side of the seed row. ■ Similar results have been noted in • this and other States with truck crops. Many of the larger irish po tato growers are using planters equipped to apply the fertilizer to : the side of the seed when planting. Cotton planters of this type are also available at reasonable prices, Dr. Mann said, and he recommended them especially to farmers who use large quantities of fertilizer oi 1 who have found it,difficult to get a/good stand THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N.

Hjiiu! mi Haiti limrutm * Nnr Itrttj tun Dtfmtmnt •/ Pmiln Imuntttm Parties In large sections of the country February is the “party month.” It is because many ctates observe Washington’s birthday. and Lin coln’s birthday, and • always there is St. Valentine’s Day. I like to think of them educationally, for they do repre sent opportunities. In the first place, the party itself is an educative situation, since after all , education is the acquisition of ex ' periences. In turn, party experi ences lead to habits, attitudes, and knowledges. But the kind and influence of the experiences depends a lot upon the adults behind the scenes. There are the little decencies and etiquette of behavior. To feel at ease at mixed social affairs is a blessing many times in life.' The party offers the chance to give that feeling to children at an early age. Through games and stunts we can help build an attitude toward sportsmanship. We can make fun the primary object of playing. If we’re very wise we can do more for the self-conscious, shy, retir ing child than by any other means at our disposal. The “eats” are always important of course. While we shouldn’t talk health diets at parties, we can discover attractive and tasty com binations of fruits, custards, ice cream, and cakes. For beverages, fruit punches and iced chocolate milk drinks can’t be beat. A pare | sweet at the end is never objec- t tionable. Finally, we can, as spon sors, observe the bedtime rule in the case of evening parties. Chowan Club Meets With Mrs. Hobbs On Monday, June 24th, at 3:3(L P. M., a quota of the Chowan Club met Miss Colwell at the home of Mrs. John Dave Hobbs. After singing “Carolina,” Mrs. Winslow read a psalm, and we joined in saying the Club Collect. Last month’s minutes were read and approved. At the roll call each woman an swered to her name with a canning suggestion. During this we learned more than one thing we did not know before. Miss Colwell reported that the sup plement to The Chowan Herald of June 13th, brought in $71.25 in ad vertisements. Os this 20 per cent, or $14.25, went to the County Council Expenses of $4.00 were to be deduct ed from this, leaving $10.25. In the Dress Revue of June 15th ; only one of our club women took part and received a prize, Mrs. A. S. Bush. A girl’s prize was won by Mary Winborne Evans. The dinner of July Ist was review ed. Our Club will be represented in arrangement by Mrs. R. H. Hollowell and Mrs. A. S. Bush. At the close refreshing iced lemon ade and chocolate cake were served by Mrs. Hobbs. The next meeting is scheduled for July 2nd, with Mrs. R. H. Hollowell. Mrs. John T. Byrum is asked to give a literary program. No August picnic. PATTIE WINBORNE, Secretary Chowan Woman’s Club.

Gillaspie in McCall’s for July Lime With Arsenate Cuts Dusting Costs A half-and-half mixture of lime and calcium arsenate is an inexpen sive dust that has given good results in controlling boll weevils. Such a dust is not cheaper than straight calcium arsenate, said C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State College, but it also adds less arsenic to the soil. 801 l weevil infestations are in creasing in North Carolina this sea son, he added, and all cotton growers should examine their fields at fre quent intervals to see whether wee vils are getting into the squares. As soon as 10 percent of the squar es show signs of weevils, he pointed out, dusting should be started, i Many growers do most of their I dusting in July, but in years of .heavy infestation some growers have found it advisable to continue the dusting until the crop has been made or the weevils have been brought un der control. Weather conditions during the growing season have a pronounced effect on the degree of infestation, Brannon continued. If rains are fre quent and the temperature is warm but not too hot, the weevils will spread rapidly. 801 l weevil control is largely a con cern of the individual grower, Bran non observed, and each should get his dusters ready for use as soon as the weevils appear. Best results can be obtained, how ever, when all the growers in the community cooperate in the fight, since this checks the possibility of weevils spreading from a neglected field to one that has been kept com paratively clean. Cotton growers have a much bet ter understanding of the Bankhead eat and an ample supply for breeding from county agents over the State.

H. Ruffner, head of the animal husbandry department at State Col lege. Flies reproduce at an almost in credible rate, he said, and they are the greatest known spreaders of bac teria and disease. Also, they are a serious annoyance to daily animals. The first step in protecting cows from flies is to clean up all places where the flies breed. Remove the piles of manure, refuse, and other unsanitary matter. Keep the stables poultry houses, and hog pens clean. All places where manure accumu lates should be cleaned out each week and the manure spread on the Helds. On dairy farms, the manure should be cleaned up and hauled away daily. It is advisable to spray horse and mules stables with fly exterimator Immediately after each cleaning. Keeping the work stock in the pas ture as much as possible will help the stock and also reduce the accum ulation of manure in the stables where flies tend to breed.
