GOLD SAND FARMERS MEET TO DISCUSS DOLL WEEVIL CONTROL A meeting with forty-two farmers r.ttendlng was held at the" Gold Sand High School on Thursday, July. 10th. to Team more of the control meas ures, in combatting the bojl weevil. WF c. H. Branntm, State Extension Entomologist, was secured to give his experiences and the latest devel opments ini boll "weevil control. The speaker gave a very complete review of the history of the weevil, ravages in the southern states, the various I attempts and methods of control from the beginning of the coming of the weevil to the present time. The Information and suggestions given by Mr. Brannon ware the rSBult of all cf the experiences of the states where the weevil has been for idany years. The people of this community have an advantage over those in the states where'the weevil first began its dam age In that the methods of weevil con trol have already gone through the experimental stage. The following points were empha sised and are to be remembered in weevil control: 1. Calcium arsenate dust gives beet results and Is used at the rate of four to six pounds per acre. I. The difct should be applied when ten per cent of the squares on the stalks show damage. The per centage of damage can be determined by counting one hundred squares in succession on the stalks. While counting the 100 squares, remove the punctured squares, the number of punctured squares In the hundred Counted giving the per cent of dam age. These counts should be made In several sections of the field and the average taken In order to be more accurate. I. Three applications of the dtfst should be made about four days apart. If it rains before twenty four bours after application Is made. It becomes necessary to repeat the ap plication. Then use the dast when the damage again ranches ten per rent ?? 4. These la no use to poison Un less It is done right, but poisoning Is profttabls If done properly. 5. Boll weevil control bss become s regular part of growing cotton and has to be considered Just as any oth er work in growing the crop. ?. Poisoning is naturally an added expense, but not as groat an expense as allowing ths weevil to destroy the entire crop. After the meeting at the school house was ooneludsd. the group went to s cotton field belonging to Mr. H. P. Speed. There were demonstrated a number of dusting machines which have been able to do the work most successfully. It Is to be emphasised that the control of the boll weevil has been forced upon the farmer on ac count of the great destruction that It I has caused In the past few years In I the Community.

At the initial service of the Open Air Vespers being held in unison by all the Churches of Louisburg, in the College Grove Sunday night, July 13, at eight o'clock. Rev. S. L. Blanton, pastor# of the Louisburg Baptist Church, delivered a splendid and forceful sermon on the "Cost of Disci pleship". - - - In thia sermon, two main points were emphasized in defining and measuring the cost of discipleship, the first of which was that Christianity is not free. It is for those, only, who are willing to pay the price; that price being supreme loyalty to Jesus Christ. Dr. Blanton, in farther explanation of this freeness of Christianity likened it to education which is paid for 'hrough taxes and other pecuniary means but which can only be acquired by earnest determined work. "Neith er education nor Christianity", said Dr. Blanton, "can be wrapped in a package and be handed out with the remark. 'You can have this for 3500 or >1000,." The larger loyalty?that to Christ?includes the necessary min or loyalties to family, community, country, etc. Although there are con flicts in these loyalties, it is Dr. Blanton's belief that they only occur ir. the presence of anti-christlanity. Christianity is measured in propor tion as loyalty is given to Jesus Christ in the practical as well as re ligious works of life was the second point stressed by Dr. Blauton. The standard for* measuring Christianity does not include the acceptance of the creed, emotional conditions or at titude of mind, not one or all of which can make a christian. The mark of a Christian is his loyalty to Christ in his application in life to practical problems. There was unusual splendid attend ance at this Vesper service. The of fering taken was given toward the funds of the Community Relief As sociation to be used in its work. The services next Sunday night, July 20, will be conducted by Rev. A. D. Wilcox, pastor of the Louisburg Methodist Church. These Vesper ser vices are byief and Impressive being held in the grove at Louisburg College every Sunday night at eight o'clock throughout the summer months. They are a form of union service of the three churches of Loudsburg, one of the three pastors of the church con ducting the service.
