Many wore costnmes befiitting tho occasion ?On Tuesday night Graham Ju nior Music Club met at the home of Mrs. S. S. Holt, the director. An enjoyobie program was given, after which refreshments were served. ?The effect on the foliage of shade trees and forests by the recent frosts is not noticeable to any great extent. So far there is much similarity in this and last fall's season. ?The preseut Board of County Commissioners will hold its last regular monthly meeting next Monday, Nov. 5lh. Its successor goes into office on the first Monday in December. ?The hunting season for rab bits, mink, skunk and otter open to-day. For rabbits it closes March 1st, and for the others February 15th, Hunters are not limited by law as to the number of either of these they may tpke. Only four more days, Sunday included, till election day. No use leaving Sunday ont as some of the gentlemen of "the cloth" have appropriated Sunday for turning loose broadsides, using texts which they couoelve war rant the deductions. ?Mrs. Walter R. Harden and daughters, Misses Elizabeth and Annie Ruth, will be "at home" Saturday afternoon from 3:30 to 6 :S0, honoring Mrs. Qeorge Wil liam Harden of ' Graham, Mrs. James Scott Bnrch of Durham and lCn. Talbot Fort Parker of Greensboro. ?Ice made its first appearance here last Friday morning to the beat of our knowledge. It was "thin ice," extremely so, bat ice nevertheless. On Saturday morn ing ice was not batd to find and the heaviest frost up to that date this fall and then the weather moderated. ?It is learned that Rev. D. R. Williams, pastor of Graham II. P. Church here, preached his ? farewell sermou to his congrega tion here Sandav night.' In con nection with his work in Graham he has been serving the chnroh at Haw River part time. It seems that on the part of the congregation it was desirous fjhat these relations continue ; that Mr. Williams was hot in accord with such arrangement. ?The litter on the streets this morning reminded one of a morn ing following the Fourth of Jnly or Christmas eve. Last night was Hallowe'en night and the young people aud children were out for an evening of fnn aud frolic. Some are wondering how the idfea of big and little fire crackers got mixed up with an occasion in which children are the principal celebrants and wearing all aorta of pumpkin colored fan tastic costumes.

Extension Workers Meet For Annual Conference Don't expect the county home or farm agent to be in the hojne office 01 available for visits in the coun ty during the period from Dec. 13 to 20. "Our anuual conference of all extension workers will be held dur ing that period," announcee Dean I. O. Sebaub head of the school oj agriculture at State College. "Not only shall we expect each home aud farm agent to be here at the college for the conference but we shall also expect each of our extension spe cialists to remain at headquarters duriDg that time so that tbey may take part in the program or be available for discussions with indi vidual agents." Dean Sebaub stales that this is the annnal period for taking stock. The agents will make reports and will check their own activities to see how far down the road of progress tbey have gone since last Decem ber. When this has been done, plane for the coming year will be made and a Statewide program of work will be decided upon. In ad dition, the agents will get all the late information available from the research workers of the college and will compare notes about methods of work, anocesefnl plans and other facta that will assist in promoting the purposes of agricultural exten sion. Some of the hqme agents who have been employed recently will come to the college a few days be fore the main group of agents. These will be given additional in ?traction by-Mrs. Jane S. McKim mon and her staff. The program of the annual con ference is now being prepared by Dean Bchanb, assisted by J. M. Gray andjMrs. McKimmon, assist ant directors. O.ie featuae of the program will be the presentation of a silver trophy cup to the home or form agpnt who has done the best work in general farm publicity thronghont the past year. Extra Spray Reduces Codling Moth Damage An extra two sprays with a poisoned Bordeaux mixture was enough to reduce the stings of codling moths from 28 per cent to 11.5 per oent in an apple orchard belonging to H. H. Morehouse of Wilkes County. ' Such results are worthy of con sideration wheu the grower wishes to make the U. S. No. 1 grade, "says H. R. Niswooger, extension hor ticulturist at Slate College who conducted the demonstration. In this grade, no apple must have over two small, healed worm punct ures The Washington State grading rules for extra fancy box pack excludes apples having worm stings while the fancy grade allows only two small healed stings. The small healed stings are deflued as inseat pnuctures not larger than one-eighth of an inch in di uneter in which the tissue is dry and wo idy." Mr. Niswonger states also that the good results secured by adding the two extra sprays will be noticed in the development of late rots and rots in storage. Observati o n s which he has made in the fi-dd show that whenever the akin of the appl* is broken, these rots develop rap idly. The teste were made with Hie Red Wineeap, Stayman and l/imber twig varieties. At the at ae time that the spraying tests were oo.i ducted, Mr. Niswonger also tested some poisoned baods which were advertised by commercial concerns to kill all worms crawling up the trunk babind them. The bands seamed to have killed the worms early is the season, hut in the fall, the insects were not hart. Some of the bands had punctures in them made by birds, evidently seeking the codlinp moth for food, la making hie spraying demon stration, Mr. Niswonger gave three poisoned Bordeaux sprays at inter valaof i wo, four and aix week* fol lowing the calynx spray and with ona other applied the latter part of July. Build Mangum Terrace* To Coatrol Sod Wa*h?f. Iu one Piedmont county of North Carolina 90,000 acre* of land have been permanently rained by erosion and in another county of the Coaetal Plain, 70, 000 acres have been ({allied be yond repair. Yet this damage could have been averted by ter racing the land. We have two kinds of eposion in thia State," aaye A. T. Holnian, agricultural engineer a* State College. "Oue we easily recog nize as gullie* causing heavy damage all over tho Slate and the other is sheet erosion which removes a small depth of soil from an entire Held. In North Carolina 88 per cent of this eros ion occurs in the four month* of June, July, August and Septem ber. In some cases we have found that the top soil in many cotton and tobacco fields will be wasted away in 50 years if some protection is not given. Grass sod, ou I he other hand, will pro long the life of the soil several thousand years. Cultivated slopes can be saved in only one way and that is through the use of terraces," Mr. Holtnau stutes that erosion not ouly wastes plant food that is purchased a'nd put into the soil but it also actually destroys the soil. About three times as much fertilizer is needed to pro care a crop on a clay subsoil as on a loam or clay loam soil. To rebuild an eroded top?eoil takes time, much work and money. Thevalueof the plant food lost through erosion will exceed 200 million dollars annually iu the whole United States, estimates Mr. Ilolman. The Mangum terrace is the best known means of controlling erosion on North Carolina farms, said Mr, Holman. This kind of terrace is a broad bank of earth behind which the surplus water flows with a gentle fall and at a low velocity to some suitable out let. The best time to build such terraces is following the harvest when there is not so much field work to be done. Southern Livestock Men to Meet At Raleigh. _ Livestock growers, reaearch men and axtension workers interested in livestock problems from over the entire South will meet at the North Carolina State College on December 18, 19 and 20 when the 17th an nual conference of the Southern Livestock Association will be held. The meetings will be held in Polk Hall, the new animal hus bandry building, said to be one of the most complete structures of its kind to be fouud among southern educational institutions. The pro gram aa arranged by Earl 11. Hos teller, secretary of the Association, calls for three days of lectures, demonstration, addresses, luncheon meetings and a banquet. Among those who will speak are some of tho best knowu figures in the N ? tion. The president of the Asso ciation for the ourren't year is the Hon. Homer Hancock, Commission er of Agriculture for the State of Tennessee. Dean I. 0, Schaub of State Col lege and Honorable William A. Qraham, Commissioner of Agri culture, will welcome the guests on behalf of the College and the State. The response will be made by Dr. J R. Hicks, director of the Missistippi Experiment Station Other addresses will be mads by such men as R. C. Pollock, genera manager of the National Liveitock and Meat Board; E. N. Went, worth, director of Armour's Live stock Bureau ; J. P. Jackson, development agent of the Central of Georgia Railway ; O. E. Reed, chief of the dairy bureau of the United States Department of Agri culture and others. A number of North Carolinians have important places on the pro gram. R L. Shuford, Dr. Clar ence Poe, D J Lybrook, Dr. Wil liam Mooro an.I Dr. U B. Arbocklu are sime of the leading speakers. Mr. Hostellc is a .xious for all persons in this State who are inter-. e.ted iu liveatook to attend the meeting. He promises interesting and valuable dis mssions.

The production efficiency of the average Southern term inuet be in oreeaed through the use of better term machinery, better utilisation of farm products, a bettor arrange ment of the fields and more atten tion to market quality and market demands. "ft is-out of the question to ox poof the average high school grad uate of to-day to take a one-horse plow, a hoe, a cotton sack and 20 scree of land planted in cotton and oompeto with farm Jabor at the present wage soale when he can go anywhere and get a steady job pay ing anywhere from 176 to $135 per montb," declares ?. W. Qaither district agent of the State College extension service. "Cotton may he produced at a much lower oost if the cropping system is adjusted to the labor supply and so arranged as to furnish profitable year-around em ployment for labor and equipment." Mr. Gaither says this may mean a considrable increase in the acres cultivated per worker, the renr rangment of the shape and size of the fields or I he use of tile drain age before farm machinery can be used profitably. All of this will furnish a lietter opportunity for crop rotation and soil building which will be attended by greater acre fields. It the present labor supply is not o| sufficient intelligence to 'bring these changes about, it should be weeded out, thinks Mr. Gaither. He sees little use in the southern farmer taking care of all the folks who happen to live on hie land or the neighborhood. This is beau tiful bat not very profitable. The young m in uow being edu cated in the public schools of to day will probably make the first move towards a changed system. Many young farmers are now nos ing into production casts. Labor saving devices are taking the place of antiquated, inefficient imple ments. The gas engine is taking hold of the job and the old time landlord is passing from the scene, finds Mr. Gaither. Korean leepedeza in Rowan Rowan County is yielding a har vest of from 15 to 25 pounds of seed per acre.
