Lailirop Pack, the presidem of (he association, has given 09,377 forestry prlmer.s to tlu‘ schools of the two States so that the coming generation will be foreslry- minded. He has given 3.000,000 of I the primers to the scliool teacher.s j of the country. j In North Carolina, the statement j •^ays, there are 10,040.000 acres 1 ■..uarally restocking to forest and d.o^lO.OOO acres not naturally re stocking. The natural restocking process is slow, as every one knows. The average cost per acre of replant ing, Is 112 per acre. In .DO years, experts say. pine planted now will make the yield worth $200 per acre. That makes foiv.st planting now, li Is pointed out. look like a good in vestment. It also asks what will be the price of lumber In the year 2000 If no idle land is planted now. D. M. Curran, of the North (Caro lina Agricultural Uepartmeni, pet the situation this way in a recent statement. "The twenty million acres of forest land in North Caro lina are capable of producing for ever, twice the present cutot a bil lion board feel, and to supply our present wood-using Industries per petually.

HARNETT TO LOSE 21 TEACHERS BY NEW SCHOOL LAW TOBACCO MARTS MAY OPEN EARLY THIS SEASON COUNTY MILL HAVE 280 TEACH ERS, WHITE AND COliORED, NEXT .SES.SION, AGAINST 810 LAST YEAR Accoidiug to the new school law enacted by the la,5t se'iBion of the l,egi.sl:iuue. Harnett county is to ilose 21 of its school leachcrs. Last ! session, or the one Just clo.sing, the I'ounty scliool system employed 310 GHOMKR.S OF EA.STERN CAROLL N.A 3IA\ REAl* BIG I'ROFIT.S FROM GOOD FRICKS AT FI It.ST OF SKA.SON CO,’ In South Carolina a forestry de partment recently was organized. There are '14,000,000 acre.s of potential forest land in the .state. There are only a half million acres of'virgin timber in all. The fligures may be changed .somewhat as fur ther checking goes on. To get the idle land.s to prcduce something of value quickly it is neceesary to plant "thrown out" larm lands and areas that arc burned so hard that there Is no hope of natural reforestation within a reasonable time. If these areas are protected from fire Nature evenlu.tl- ly will take care of them, but N^\re Is entirely too .slow. Where N. C. Dartleli of Kinston i.t au thority foi the annonnceincnl that the lobacc} markets in thl.s .section may be opened earlier this fall. As secretary 6f the Eastern Carolina C'.iamber of Commerce, Mr, Bartlett with the as.sistance of others Is mak ing a determined effort in this re- g:ii\l, it is said. The Tobacco A.s.sociatlon of the United States will liold its annual meeting at Virginia Beach June 2C to 28. and will set the dates for the opening In all belts. Thousands of signatures have been secured to a petit ion asking a date In August for the local boll. Growers and others have signed it. Paul Prlzzoll, presi dent of the Kinston Chamber of Commerce, wlli name a committee in a few days to present the peti- t ion. 'I'he coiiimerclal organization has been striving for two years to se cure earlier opening the bright leaf markets, Condliion.s are claimed to be favoraole this year. The Georgia crop is well advanced, and growers in that State are said to bo asking earlier opening than in the past. Bankers generally agreed with the Chamber of Commerce that opening in this belt two weeks earlier than in the past will moan a saving of hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of dollars to the growers. August 20 is the date suggested for the Kinscon market. The Ea,«tern Carolina crop is usually ready for the auctions long before that date. Earlier opening, it is contended, will mean better price.s and “tide over” I’armor.s during the dullest season of the year. CHRIS SAUCE CO. NEW ENTERPRISE st-id trees are lacking many years are required for parent trees to seed extensive areas. South Carolina ought to plant at least one million acres quickly the Association says. Of recent years the scarcity of timber has reflected li.self in high prices. M''ood, In all Its mnltltudi- nous forms, is .something we cannot well do without. 'No nulloii ever has. Wood means houses, turpen tine, boxes, fuel, shingles, ties posts, pole.s, magazines, book.s and now.s-^ papers. It means a wealth of things on which our svhole economic struc ture Is predicated. Yet it is dally getting scarcer. Up to and including the year 1925, the United States Forest Service es timated that a little over one and one-half million acres had been planted by all the agencies in the United States. Two years later the American Tree Association eslimal-, ed that about 90,000,000 trees were' being planted yearlj'—just about enouth to refore.st 90,000 acres. At this rate it will take between five hundred and one thousand years to replant our man-made desert, al ways provided that man’s destruc tiveness and fire's ravages do not, In the course of that time, add still more. "A great opportunity presents Itself to the Carolinas,” says Mr. 'Pack. "Everybody in the two states knows the value of the naval stores industry. More and more other iniduslry is finding its way In to the.se siate.s. Will the state? look ahead? What part will they have in the great industrial pro- k'-Mh of the future? That part de pends largely on fore.st.s. Today the stale of New York plants more treef. every year than the federal govern ment. The United States is plant ing about one tenth as much every year as does Japan. Our economic life depends upon forest products'. Now in the time for business meti of these states, just over night from the great manufacturing centers to the DOrtliwaiMl, to demand a forest planting program and see it is put Into operation.” The C’hri.s Sauce -Company l.s the late.st enterprise for 'Lllllngton. The incorporators are C. H. Kyprls, J. C. Byrd, J. M. Shaw and M, R. Ed wards. The company will begin Im-t mediately the manufacture and' dls- iributlou of a patent aance for the table originated by Mr. Kyprls, pro prietor of I/lll!ngton Cafe. Trade name of the .sauce will bo "Splendid.” Mr. Kyprl.t ha.s made quite a number of bottles of the sauce, distributing it to his friends, who declare it the best they have ever used. As soon as bottles and labels can be secured from the factories, the company will begin distributing its product to the trade. itoaehei.^, while and colored, but this j force must be cut down to conform to tile provisions of the new law, and thus 289 teachers will lake the places of tlio 310 last year, a lo.ss of 21. according to the 'llgures com piled by Superintendent Gentry. The superlulendent states that in 1927-28 the county schools had an average attendance of pupils of 8,- 522; in 1928-29 an attendance of 8,5i>4—only 42 increase, Based up on tills attendance record, the coun ty will have to cut its teaching force, lie .says, in order to partici pate in the stalo equalizing fund. Llllington will lose one high school teacher. If the election to be lield In tills di.strlct on June 10 is successful, taking in now territory and thereby increasing the attend ance, Llllington’s elementary school will gain one teacher. The supei’lnteudent explains that It the county or the districts wish to keep (heir presnet teaching force it will be necessary to pay salaries out of local funds. In the 1928-29 session the school regulations allow ed 1C5 teachers in the white ele mentary schools and 49 in the high schools, making a total of 214. In the colored high schools there were 5 high school touchers and 91 ele mentary, making a total of 96. The grand total was 310. Under the new law there will be only 154 while elementary teachers and 46 In the high schools. In the colored ^hools there will be 82 ele mentary teachers and 7 In the high schools, The Increase in the colored high schools comes about by reason of the establishment of the Shaw Town high school at iLilllngton. When asked for his opinion as to whether his schools would be crip pled because of the cut in the teach er force, the superintendent did not feel dl.spo.sod to make comment. He does not, however, evince any en thusiasm over the change in regu lations. There i.s an impression, he said, that comes to all who have made a study of Harnett’s school system and its progress, that the people will demand efficiency in the classrooms and If it found that more teachers are required than the law allows, the people will do just like they have been doing-^tax them selves to supply the necessiivy teach ers.

INTERESTED PERSONS INVITED TO attend AH Intersted persona are invited to 'attend a joint 'Ses.slou of the Board of Education tind Board of County Commissioners^ to be held in Llllington High Sclwol building ut 1:00 o’clock tomorrow (Friday) af ternoon. Thti purpose of the Jolui aes.slon la to 'fix the school budget for 1929-30. Superintendent Gentry, In making explanation of hi.s injrltatluu to all citizens to attend Iho' meelliig, says that the governing uuthorllics of the county are faeed[ with two de mands, namely, that'taxes be low ered if possible, and that, the school system be kept up to standard. In considering these propositions which In fact resolve themselves Into one proposition, the county authorities are brought squarely agalnai one of the hardest .situations that has aris en in year.s, 'None of the patrons of the schools will want the standard of eftlciency lowered, yet at the same time there will be none who would object to a drop In the tax rate. It Is for the purpose of allowing the patrons to take a look into the matter of ex pense of the schools that the invi tation is extended to attend the ses sion here Friday. In 'fixing the budget of expendi tures for the school system, there is always to be f(?uud an extra expense Item known as debt service. This is for paying Interst on borrowed money. The money has been bor rowed because the people have voted for the higher type of schools. The' county has assumed obligation for all of this borrowed money and the Intereab charge goes Into the budget. That is one reason why the school levy runs high. Speaking of interest money, it will no d.'i'bt be well for bhe people who pay taxes to keep in mind that out of the tax moneys collected by 'Harnett county one dollar out of every (five Is required to pay interest on borrowed money.

Honeycutt wentUo Nicaragua in February, 1927, when detachments of lU. S. Marines were hurriedly 'dis patched to that country to suppress a revolution. Heremained in the tropics over fow years and came back to the 'States by way of the 'Panama CanaL j, ■With peaceful conditions prevail ing in nearly all parts of .Nicaragua, large numbers of marines have been withdrawn from that country, the (Bridge bringing back a number of other men who also went to Nica ragua with the Fifth Regiment two years ago. Honeycutt made his home with his father, Mr. Dee A. Honeycutt, in 'Buie's Creek, prlod to joining the Marine Corps at 'Baltimore, Md., In October, 1925, Before leaving for Central America he was stationed at Quantlco, Va., ■ and, he has been assigned to duty at that station again. • The question uppermost In the mind of Tax Collector John.'Green now Is whether the fourteen hun dred delinquent taxpayers of Har nett county, whose names are ap pearing in The News and.Dunn Dis patch, will come forward in appreci able numbers and settle their 1928 taxo.*} before the sale day, June 3. The two lists appeared in the two papers the second week in this month, about fourteen hundred names in all. At the present rate, the list will not be cut down much' before the sale, but Mr. Green hopes that something will cause them to “speed up” between this time and June 3. He hopes to cut down his list to at least the same number he had last year—seven hundred. He. has great hope'of being able to trim the lists that much, but of course he may be able to trim it still more. He Is a good collector, and although he never gets "hard-boiled,” h.e is of .such a persuasive 'disposition that ‘he usually gets what he sets out to get. The only thing that will thwart him, it 13 believed, will be the utter lack of funds in the hands of the delinquents. It is pointed out that those who are holding their money because of (he fact that they have already been advertised will find much embarrass ment and serious inconvenience up on the Institution of proceedings under the new law’. The new law gives the county 12 per cent Interest on “deferred paj'- ments" of taxes for the first year and 8 per cent the next. Although It is necessary to pay that much to borrow money from any source Just now, there Is the litigation to be taken Into account, and everyone who know’3 anything about it knows that litigation is one of the most expensive things In the world. The lands of delinquents In Duke, Averasboro and Grove townships are being advertised in the 'Dispatch and those of all other townships in The News. The tw’o lists are almost the same length; COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM AT BOONE TRAIL SCHOOL Long Form Tnut Deedn at The News Office. •Boone Trail School will begin its commencement program next Sun day morning at 11 o’clock with a sermon by Rev.

The spread of the Mediterranean fruit fly over the oSutli would prob ably mean the end of all horticul tural industry, especially of all fruits and many vegetables. Dr. R. W. Leiby, .state entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, declared In an address broadcast over station WPTF Monday. This has been the ca'.se in other countries w’here the fiy now’ aboutwis, he stated. Dr. Leiby's address was in the na ture of an appeal to citizens of the state to aid the federal and state governments In preventing the spread of this pest w’hich has re- eently become established In Flor ida It is deifinitely know'n that fruit from the Infested area was shipped into North Carolina before the •dis covery of the fl, Dr. Leiby said, add ing; "If such Infested fruit has reached the public dump heap there is no doubt that the maggots have transformed to flies and escaped. The weather has been mild an.d they could easily live until the early peaches in the Fayetteville section (where it is known that such ship ments have been ' received) ripen. oS there is a possibility that North Carolina can become infested with the fly. "If it is in North Carolina, help the Department of Agriculture find It out as soon as possible by send ing anything suspicious found in a grapefruit or orange to the state en tomologist. for identification,” he said. The spread of the fly, which Dr. Leiby described as “the most serious that man has ever had to contend with," would be a matter of only a few’ years. Dr, .Leiby said. The peach industry in the Bermuda Islands was completely- wiped out by the fly, while the Hawaiian Islands can, ship no'fruits and vegetables in this country except green pineapples on account of the rigid quarantine the United States maintains against the ily. "You have heard of the European corn borer, the Japanese beetle, the Mexican bean beetle and the.cotton boll weevil, and' all of them ^have proven to be quite serious and de structive ’ pests'to crops,” said Dr. Leiby. "Yet the destruction caused by all of these put together would not equal' that of the Mediterranean frul fly, in my opinion, If this newly introduced pest now in Florida w'ere to invade the southeastern states and California. "The fiy has been In Florida, per haps six months, perhaps 18 months, certainly no' longer. It is certain that infested vegetables, grapefruit and oranges have come into the southern states and into North Caro lina during the winter and spring. And this is especially true of bulk grapefruit and oranges—the kinds that are moved by auto truck and In bulk car lots, for thqse kinds are often second grade stock, and there fore more likely to be infested than the boxed fruits. "Entomologists know that the fly maggots leave the slightly decayed fruits that they Infested when they are fully grown, then they go into the spil where they transform to flies. And when they are fully grown files they work their way out of the soil and fly around to search for other fruits In which they lay their eggs. “The flies can live 60 days with out laying any eggs. They will lay from one to 30 In a grapefruit or In a peach that is about to ripen, or a plum, a pear, In grapes, apples, figs or a pepper, a tomato, or in a bean pod. I'he eggs produce tiny maggots and these feed in the fruit or vege table and cause it to. decay. "The flies are prolific and can lay as many as 600 eggs. If the weath er wer.e favorable they could raise 18 broods or generations In a year.” Dr. Leiby particularly called on grocery; store deales,'/fruit stand op erators and housewives to burn or bury in lime all partly decayed grapefruit) or oranges' and to care fully avoid throwing them on the dump heap where they will have an excellent opportunity to breed.'
