I> MEMORY OF SIR. VANCE WHITE
On Tuesday evening, August 22,
lied
Mr. V nice White died at li s home
near Rock Springs rrom an Attack
of typhoid fever. No sign of recover.
Ing was ever shown from the time he
was first taken.
Mr. White was married twice, the
first time he married Miss Juanit
Murphy, of Wilson and in about two
years she died. Then he married Miss
Mattie Jeffries, of Franklin county.
Mr. White was 48 years old July 19.
We cannot understand why God took
him from hJs beloved wife and three
children at such an age but sometime
we will understand. Yes we will miss
him, but it is the will of him, that
gave him to take him.
All efforts of medical skill and lov
ing hands of wlfa and nurse were of
no avail. On Tuesday evening that
old grim master death crept in about
3:30 and laid a heavy hand upon
him and for several hours he wrestl
ed with death until God in all of
His tender care bade him come and
the wrestling ceased and his voice
was stilled.
God called and he was willing and
prepared to take his Journey heaven,
ward to be free from suffering and
to meet his wife and two little girls
awaiting over there.
He was a devoted member of the
Rock Springs church and was a most
useful and generous neighbor.
On Wednesday afternoon he was
laid to rest in a neat gray casket be
side his first wife in the family ceme
tery Just below Bunn. The funeral
service was conducted by Mr. June
-Perry and then they sung "Safe in
the Arms of Jesus." After which many
compliments were paid to him by Mr.
Perry; for a good neighbor and a
good man!, urging young men and
women to prepare their lives for God
and His Kingdom.
He leaves to mourn a wife and
three children?two boys and one
girl. ,
The floral tributes were especially
large and pretty speaking a beauti.
ful message of love apd esteem.
Our fondest hopes in blm nre gone
but not forgotten.

I'KAl'H THEE HOKEKS
CONTROLLED WITH CHEMICAL
Ralelgh, 8ePt. FeacETree_6brer?
have played havgc In some Tarheel
urcharde but they may easily be con
trolled by usthg a chemical called
P-C-Benzene.
'The full and correct name tor this
chemical le paradichlorobenzene, says
C. H. Braunon, extension entoaaij rw.
at State College. "Despite ita tongue
twisting name, however. It is very et.
fectivo in controlling the ptuch tree
borer. If it Is applied around the bays
of the tree in the right manner and
at the proper time, from 90 to 100 per
cent control will be secured. Th% me.
thod Qf using this chemical has been
tested in both experimental and com
mercial orchards and growers art ad
vised to use It regularly each year."
P-C.Benzene can be used on trees
four years of age and older with per.
feet?safety, states Dr. Brannon. It
younger trees are badly Infested,'they
may be* treated with one-half ounce
of the chemical. Trees four and Ave
years of age should get three fourths
of W ottnee eath; trees six years 01
age and older should get a full ounce
tHtd-very old trees with large trunks
should get an ounce and a fourth. j
The time of application is especially
important. For 'North Carolina con
ditions, this time should be between
September 25 and October 10. - These
dates short id be closely fottowed it
beat results are to he obtained, states
Mr. Brannon. In applying the P.O
Benzene, the crust of the soil is broken
and smoothed off above the highest
horer hole Th. chemteal in ahotlt
like granulated sugar and gives oil
a gas that penetrates downward into
the borer holes. Scrape away the gum
and apply the chemical in a continu
ous ring about an inch wide and about
an tnclrfrom the trunk. Several shov.
?sla-ot dirt should then ba placed nvrr
the crystals and packed into a mound
with tiie back of the sliuvel.
TO FFKT1LI/H ??
FALL PLANTED CHAINS
-Raleigh, Sept.? 0<r?The-?cheapest
gains In yields of small grains, a:
with other crops, are secured hytfcc
right use of fertilizers.
"The Tabor and other overhead
costs ere usually about the same
whether good yields or low yields are
secured," sayg C. B. Williams, head
of the agronomy department at State
College. "Better yields ol fall-sown
grains are secured when fertilizers
are used uuder them and the quality
of the TTorr-t* vastly improved, la
this day of high labor costs, it is bet
ter to keep down the acreage to that
which can he property teTtittzed, pre
pare the land well, seed carefully,
fertilize well aud thereby build up a
total production per acre. This will
cut the cost per bushel to the lowest
possible figures."
For the average Cecil clay or clay
loam soils .of the piedmont region ol
North Carolina, Mr. WiUiams advises
using a fertiliser analyzing about 10 {
to 12 percent potash. fromTmoTb'SW'
pounds of this mixture should be ap
plied when the seed are planted.
But if the soil is in good condition
and has been improved by the gruwii
|and turning under the legumes, The
t percentage of ammonia may be. re
duced or left out entirely.
Mr. Williams finds that from ex
perimental tests conducted for eleven
years at the Piedmont Branch Sta
tion, profits of over two dollars to
more than three dollars were secured
for every hundred pounds of fertilizer
used. When the application went
above 600 pounds per acre the pro
fits tended to become smaller. Best
profits were given when 400 pounds
were used. In this case the profit
was $3.58 for each hundred pounds
of complete fertilizer used. Only $2.17
was realized ou each hundred pounds
when 800 pounds of the complete fer
tilizer was used.
