N. C., as second class matt« r ~QRAHAM, N. C., Aug. 7. 191!).: The process of winding up a great war —in other words, reconstruction - is about lo he a bigger nnd more difficult matter than that of prepar ing for and going into war. While making ready fcjryarjH .A process of intense discipline, yef thero is mi something about the disbanding and throwing off the-bonds of restraint that tends to disintegration —a dis integration and upheaval that affects mojt those who took little or no part in the creating of tho fighting ma chine —the ghouls and profiteers who follow in tho wake of the army to destroy and consume. * It does look unseemly, unpatriot ic and unappreciative on the face of it, when the best paid labor in the country goes on a strike. Hut there is a why. No sooner does the wage earner secure an adjustment that should guarantee him a competency for deceut living, than the merciless and conscienceless proliteer rearang es tho prices of the things tho con sumer must have in order to take all but a bare living. The consumer does not propose to stand and be robbed. The law Bltould speedly lay a heavy hand on the profitoer. Congress has been dancing over a volcano. For political advantage it lias arraignde President Wilson and the I'eace Treaty, instead ol doing things that would save this great country from drifting into a condition that now euthralls Eu rope. The strikes and walk-outs, we believe, are results brought about by the procedure of congress since the 4th erf last March. THE COUNTY OFFICER JOB In au open letter to county offi cials In Tho American City, among other things, If. S. Gllbert son says tho following in regard to county officers which means much moje than at first appears on a casual reading: Most county governments have a prosy set of duties. To get up a great popular enthusiasm over a change in tho filing system in tho county clerk's office, or over a new heating system at the coun ty jail, would not be an easy mat ter. And yet such things are about as near to the people at large as any concern the county has. Once in a while you put in new road or bridge, nnd popular interest in one end of the county may be fanned for a little while. Your great difficulty is that, altho' you are always performing duties which are extremely im portant, they are rarely of gen eral concern and never spectacu lar. , Hut thero are possibilities be fore you for making county gov ernment take a greater place in tho affections of the people. You are a part of a system that spreads over the United States, with scarcely a break. You are the foundation of tho great structure of organized democracy. Tho stat« is pretty much the sum of ita counties. Of the unofficial organization—that is, the party system —you are a particular in dispensable part. Tho county is the uuit of party organization. What form its policies take de pends very largely upon you. UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES THIS WEEK. Interesting Statistics About the More Than 1,000 Who Attended. Chapel Hill, N.

GREEN WORM RAVAGES SOY BEANS. Control Measures for Immediate Use. Complaints are now pouring in to the offices of the Slate Depart ment of Agriculture and the Ex tension Service about au insect known as tho Green Clover Worm which is now epidemic in Eastern North Carolina and other States, and is rapidly destroying large acreages of soy beans in tho east ern half of the State. The com plaints were first made known to lion. H. F. Latham, Member ol the Board of Agriculture in Fast ern North Carolina, who prompt ly secured the services of Mr. It. W. Leiby and drove over the en •tire soy bean section adjacent to liolhaven. Observations made then and ex periments now under way show that tho worm can be controlled by poison sprayed or dusted on the affected plants. Tho worm is rapidly destroying large areas of soy beans. Many farmers have already lost thou sands of bushels ou account of its attacks ami some state that they will not gel their seed from the area over which tho worms have appeared. According to Mr. Franklin Sherman, Chief of Division of Entomology of the Agricultural Extension Service, tho worm is now attacking only soy beans, but it is known to feed on other le gumes. including clovers, beans, peas, vetch, alfalfa and various weeds. It is feared that this worm may later attack cow peas, peanuts and velvet beans. Therefore, Mr. Sherman offers the following suggestions for im mediate practice: 1. Spray with powdered arse nate of lead (or Cal-arsenate) 2 pounds to 50 gallons water, or if paste irrsenate is used, I lbs. to 5(1 gals. 2. Dust with powdered arsen ate of lead (or eal arsenate) 1 lb. to 8 lbs. (lust lime or laud plaster. I Hist enough to whiten. Can use it stronger (equal parts arsenate with lime or plaster) or even pure arsenate alone, the stronger it is used tho less should be applied, if pure, barely enough to beseen. Regardless of the dilution with lime or plaster, at least two pounds of the poison should be applied per acre. Spraying nut J* be with com pressed air, knapsack or field po tato sprayer. Dinting may be with sack, or pole with twt> bags eifrried horseback, or dust-gun. The main point is to itet the poi son on, quickly, perhaps even sowing broadcast by hand in a breeze. If arsenate is not to be had, Paris Green may be used, but carefully, sparingly, and with some risk of burning the loaves: Spray—At rate of 2 pounds Paris Green to 100 gals, water. Dust—l pound I'aris Green to 40 pounds dust lime or land plas ter. The worms are working chiefly in the to|w, hence aim at this, enough will get on lower leaves to kill many worms. Watch, and if they later attack other parts or other crops, modify operations accordingly. The use of poison can not in jure tho beans which are pro duced. Advice will be made pub lic later as to use of the poisoned plants for forage. In case poisons can jiot be used and the injury is serious, cut the crop for hay at once, or pasture it to hogs or cattle. • 100 Itrward. *IOO The reader! of tbls paper will lie l-lraaed to leartt that there la at li'.n-t one .ttrail.il ill*. i-wk l ttiat science hits been a till- to vuit, in al' It" atay es and I hat la catarrh.

USE OF TRACTOR IS NO SINECURE Offers Problems That Do Not Bother the farmer Who Uses Horse-Drawn Implements. ELIMINATE WASTE OF TIME Necessary to Lay Out Fields So That ' High-Class Job Can Bo Done— -Bhort Turns Are Awkward- Advantages Summarized. (Prepurrd by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Plowing wftli trnotnnt presents some problem* that never bother the mun who uses home-drawn Implements. It Id necessary to Iny out fields, so that ii high-class Job of plowing can be done over the entire area with the minimum use of n horse-drawn plow In start ing nnd finishing the work. The meth ods In general use divided Into two classes—those In which the plows lire elevated and no plowing Is done across the ends, nnd those In which the plows are left In the ground con tinuously. In most cases better [low ing can be done when the plows are Idle across the ends of the fields, and for this reason the methods of tills class are tnoro "popular, but many farmers prefer the other methods, an they eliminate waste of time and la bor. Plowmen using tractors wish to re duce to a minimum the time spent In running with plows out of the ground. While It Is necessary to do some traveling while the plows are Idle, care should be taken not to do too much of It, as It reduces the num ber of acres which can be plowed In a day, making the tractor that much less efficient. Short turns, however, are awkward for most tractors, nnd where such turns are necessary the operator often has more or less difficulty In getting the outfit In the correct posi tion for starting Into the new furrow at the right point. Some tractors turn more easily In one direction than oth ers, and this should be taken Into con sideration In laying out the fields. Advantages Summarized. The advantages of plowing by the methods In which the plows are Idle across the ends of the fields are that the short, awkward turns are elim inated, except In some cases at the be ginning and ends of the lands, and usunlly less spaces will be left at the corners to be plowed with horses. The advantage of the other methods are that little or no time Is lost In trav- Plowing With Tractors Presents Prob lems That Never Trouble Man Who Uses Horse-Drawn Implements. cling with the plows out of the ground, and that ordinarily the number of dead furrows and back furrows will be considerably less. In using the first-named methods It Is necessary to measure the lands In the center of the field accurately, leav ing an equal area on nil sides of the field In which to turn the outfit, and which can be plowed last by running the tractor completely around the field several times. If one end of the field Is nnfenced the outfit can be pulled out Into n road or lane, or an adjoin ing field, for turning. It may be preferable to plow up to the fence on tho two sides as the body of the field Is being plowed, and leave the head land only across the end of the field which Is fenced. The width of the headland will depend largely on the turning radius of the trnctor. With easily handled outfits It Is not neces sary to leave more than 15 or 20 feet. Careful Plowing Baves Tim*. If the field la to be finished op In the beat manner, with no Irregular, un plowed atrlps between the land or at the edges, It Is essential that care be taken to have the headland of the same width clear around the field, to have the distances measured exactly when starting new lands, and to have the first furrows as nearly straight as possible. A little extra time taken In measuring off the necessary distances and setting plenty of stake* for guid ance will nearly always lie more than returned In saving time at tho finish. If the tractor pulls three or more plows, cutting a total width of three or more feet, some effort should be made to have the width of the headlands an exact multiple of the total width of the plow, so that the last atrip acroaa the field will exactly cut out the land or finish It to the fence. This will do away r/Uh the necessity oj making a ".rcw* the field, probably over the plowed ground, to turn a nnrrow strip which has been left un plowed.

MAOC BY MOTT * ftOWNE , kaADM OP BCOm EMULSION FEDERAL SUPERVISION OF MEAT INDUSTRY IS OR6ED BY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Sheep in the Chill Room of a Large Packing Plant Which Have Been In ■pected and Paeaed at Good Qualliy Mutton. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) With meat prices to the consumer so high that he Is denying himself, and with the prices for live stock, espe cially beef and lambs, so low to the producer that he Is actually losing mon ey. the nation Is confronted with a grave problem which requires solution If we are not to suffer a decline In the live stock lndustr7. It Is an anomalous situation. The department has endeavored to Inform Itself on the subject, and after confer ence with senators and members of the house who represent live-stock produc ing regions and who also fee! deep con cern for the welfare of consumers, deems It Important to give to the pub lic certain outstanding facts, which may be summarized as follows: There Is no longer need for meat con servation. The supply is plentiful, and patriotic citizens may freely disregard the meat-saving placards which are still displayed at many eating places. Europe Needs Pork. Europe needs our surplus pork, but Is filling Its beef requirements by Im portations from South America and Australia. Prices of beef cattle have fallen sharply since March 1 on ac count of the stoppage of exports for army use, and a slack demand for beef at home, due to the continuation of beef conservation under the mis taken Idea that such conservation la still necessary to feed the people of ESyope. Beef producers and lamb pro ducers who sell their products at this time are confronted with the danger of heavy financial losses which tend to restrict production nnd cause a se rious shortoge In future. The United States will never have • satisfactory and permanent solution of the problem until the manufacture, sale and distribution of meat prod ucts are officially supervised by au thorized agents of the government, working In co-operation with state and municipal authorities, whose only elm Is to serve the public at large and not any particular class. When the federal government Is enabled by law to maintain a Just supervision over the meat-producing Industry that will prevent unfair dealings, specula tion and profiteering, by furnishing the public from an unimpeachable source all the facts with regard to the Industry, and when the states and municipalities are enabled by law to exercise similar supervision over In trastate and local business, then only can we expect to have fair and stable markets In which producer nnd con sumer alike will have a square deal. Beef Industry Crisis. Some of the particulars of the situ ation are as follows: The beef Industry In the United States faces a most serious crisis. For a decade before the outbreak of war In Europe farmers and ranch men had been urged to Increase beof cattle production because the Industry was j»ot keeping pace with the growth o' population. The lowest ebb In pro duction was reached in the fiscal year ended June 80, 1914, when we prac tically ceased to have fresh dressed beef for export, but began to Import. It from the southern hemisphere. The campaign for Increased production be gan to bear fruit with the outbreak of the war and beef again gained volume In our exports. Prices rose and farm ers were encouraged to expand their heef-maklng operations. With lbe-«o --trance of the United Sflftes Into the war a vigorous successful effort was mad# to Increase the supply of meat for our army, especially beef, by ci vilian self-denial. Hotels and res taurants, at the request of the gov ernment. reduced the size of their beef portions and regularly left beef off their menus. Private families by thousands did likewise. Farmers snd ranchmen exerted themselves to the utmost at great risk In order that our soldiers and sailors could have the best food that skill and loving care cculd produce. The result Is history. From an export of beef and beef prod ucts of 151.000 pounds In 1914, we exported 690,000,000 pounds of beef and beef products In 1918—almost equaling the great surplus of 1901, The senate received ■ report from President Wilson showing that 217 citizens of the United States have been killed In Mexico since the re gime of Porflrlo Dlax. Government control of telegraph and telephone properties Is at an end. Orders for their return to private own ers have been Issued by Postmaster General Burleson as required by a resolution adopted by congress and signed by the president. . , The permit system devised by the railroad administration and the grain corporation for controlling the ship ment of this year's record grain crop was put Into effect August 1. The importance of dealing with the high cost of living has almost usurped Lho pre-eminence of the league of na tions' fight In Washington officialdom. It has gone forth from the white house that the president realizes the Importance of dealing summarily with the high coat of living and mar even use his war powers to end the situa tion. More than a thousand Americana are threatened irlth • loss of millions when our population was 85,000,000 people less than now. The export! of 1018 were treble the three-year pre war average. Europe Doea Not Need Beef. The war la over. In a little while the presence of American soldiers In Europe will be a memory of noble sacrifices. We must not forget that the principal use for the beef we shipped over seas In such quantity was for the men In uniform. Europe, short of food though It Is, does not neeff beef from the United States so much as It needs our pork. The stocks of cattle In the most of Europe have not suffered seriously In numbers dur ing the war. Indeed, outside the areas actually overrun by the contending armies, cattle stocks have fairly held their ewn and In some cases even In creased. Stocks of liogs and sheep have suffered much more severely than have cattle. It Is also well known that Europe turned to South America and Australia for beef and lamb as soon as shipping conditions permlttsd. England and Italy are now buying >n those markets. The United States, however, Is the only lnrge pork sur plus nntlon, and Europe, suffering for fats with her stocks of swine greatly reduced, can consume our pork sur plus readily. The beef and lamb now awaiting market on onr farms and ranges must, therefore, find Its outlet not overseas but at home. Prices Compared. It Is Important to present the facts concerning the prices for live stock and the prices for meat wholesale anil retail. The following comparison ex hibits the decline in the prices of cat tle on foot: Prices of Medium and Good Beef Steers at Chicago. (CENTS PER POUND) March 1, 1919 13.60-18.50 July 1, i»l» 12.00-14.60 Decline 1.60- (T9O Mean per cent decline, 14 per cent. Prices of Choice and Prime Beef Steers on Foot at Chicago. (CENTS PER POUND) f March 1, 1919 18.60-20.25 July 1, 1919 14.36-15.60 Decline 4.16- 4.75 Mean per cent decline, 23 per cent. The alleged reason for this situa tion is the stoppage of export for ariny use abroad and the failure of civilian beef consumption to resume its normal status. The hotel and high class family trade are not consuming the quantities of choice beef which they used before the war, and the fam ilies of moderate Income are eating only cheaper cuts, the price of which must compensate In part for that of the cuts for which there Is a smaller demand. The fact Is evident that many persons who desire to eat more meat, especially beef and lamb, are denying themselves. No Need for Conaervatlon. People do not realize that the ne cessity for conservation of foods, espe cially meat, no longer exists, except as a matter of reasonable economy and prevention of sinful waste. We have In prospect the greatest wheat crop In our history; we hud in 1018 by far the largest production of pork "\vo ever had, as well as a great In crease in our beef, lamb and dairy production. Yet one sees everywhere in hotels, restaurants, and dining cars the "Save Food" signs, which wer» such a vital Influence in the successful prosecution of the food campaign and Incidentally, the winning of the war These "Save Food" signs should now be disregarded. Consumers are uncon sciously working harm- to themselvet and to live stock producers by now restricting their consumption of meat This situation Is a real menace tc the farmer and to the consuming pub lie as well. Many cattle raised In re sponse to the demand for meat pro ductlon for the army are now matur log, and If marketed on a falling mar ket will cause heavy loss to the pro ducers, with the result that deoltnlnj production may be expected In thi future. Stockmen do not deserve t« be penalized for their patriotism. bu should b» supported by the consum lng public In an effort to rextere con sumption to the normal without delay of dollars In Investments by a new agrarian law enacted by the congress of Sonora, Mexico, at the direct In structions of Governor Calles.
