. Curing Time and " Tobaceo ' Barn
i PartiefrU-Pknic Rained Out Per
' ' aonal Mention. . ;
By Lee Pridgen.-
Pembroke, July 25. Oh what good
" times the farmers have" dufing to
bacco season! and especially when
. the time comes to cure it. Then they
v ran have Jthose "scrumptious;. funJ
tions known a tobacco barn 'parties.
The writer and several others ' from
' . here had the pleasure of attending one
given by Mr. Koy jema a iew aays
ago. The crowd seemed to' I gather
; slowly, but about 9 the old tobacco
v barn shed was covering quite, a crowd
- of gay young folks. The appearing of
the host with watermelons and peach-
es brought forth from the jolly crowd
shouting, whistling and ; - dancing.
Everything" was 'plentiful except the
ladies: they 'must have 'been on j a
"strike". " The feature of the evening
' was the singing of several selections,
by thev Pembroke male quartet, com
posed of : Messrs.v Cook, Lewis, Mc
Neill and ' Prldeen. ;;-' V' ;'?
Mr, J. W. Williams took a9peedy
trip, to St Pauls Saturday afternoon,
returning Saturday night 5
: The picnic: that the - Presbyterian
and Baptist Sunday schools were go
ing to have last Thursday was rained
out Lots were disappointed, especial,
ly ' the ladies, as' they had lots of
"delicious eats" cooked. Ladies please
save some of your nice fried chicken
for the union. l '
The -many friends of Mr,. Cojbert
are pleased to. learn that ne h is
speedily recovering, after - several
weeks of serious illness..-..

Brother 'Fleming, we regret news of
Rev. John Prevatt's death not reach

We extend our," deepest .sympathy-; to
the bereaved. ones. v,vv ;-,
Just after Sunday-school 2nd, Suni
day Mr. and Mrs. e7.;McIntyre of
Rowland came by and tooYus to visit
their sister and brother-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Marco v Smith ; of- Red
Springs Rr 2,' and -weV all attended

meet the young TByangelist Rev,'; Mr.
'Caldwell and his linger; and hear him
sing '"To the" old tugged trosa I will
cling and exchange it some day for a
crown." Sorry, we .Could not attend
the revival atRed Springs that was
to begin that evening arid hear them
preach' and 'sing. -Mrs. Smith war a
"lukewarm Christian" and Sunday
school teacher at Oak Grove a few
years ago,, but it was in her kitchen
cookMg dinner c during ; "' the - recent
Caldwell revival at Buie that by faith
she received her; sight5 and her, whole
soul was xiiicu viiw;' vv, v-v.
joy and now she- is "telling to all
around what a dear Saviour she has
found." Her; brother Thurman ;?. Mc-,
Intyre of Rowland was 'saved a .few
weeks before" his sister.;- ;

"Aunt Eliza" Cume died Thursday
in the home of her son Arch Currie.
Interment was made ? in the, Moore
cemetery Friday evening r just as the
sun war sinking 'r "neath the western
hills, in a sprinkle-of rain,i which pre
vented us from attending,, but , we
sent flowers and went half a mile out
of our . way Sunday, p. m. to see her
grave She always enjoyed: a Godly
conversation while visiting "relatives
at Red SDrines a few years ago. She
fell and suffered a broken hip al
though -she had passed her 80th mile
stone sne , wouia arop ner cnwcn w
shout Peace be to her dust , '
After Sunday school at Raft Swamp
Sunday last, we attended- church : at
Back Swamp. We arrived iatet but en
joyed the old song "There i ... foun
tain filled with-bkod" ,also commun
ion, Dr. Durham said he never would
forget how. "Then in a nobler jweeter
song, Fll sing Gdd's power, to save,
when this poor UBpermg stammering
toneue is silent in the ; grave,'! Inr
pressed his mind one night when he-
heard his father singing it, and tnat
was the first time he ever thought
about hjs father having to-die. . .: .
We were surprised at the "few pre
sent to hear Miss ! Price, only three
from Raft -Swamp. Praise the Lord
for calling, her and sending her to
preach for us. We haven't enjoyed a
sermon more by ' any ? one She ead
the 1st chapter of the Acts of The
Apostles. Every' one . could sees that
she had the power ."And ye :, shall
receive foWer. after that - the Holy
Ghost is come upon you." She empha
'sised the ( power , and strength4 - of
mited . prayer and JDnr" responsibili
ties, because Jesus" first1 manifested
His Mesiahship to woman - at the
well of Samariah and after His resur
rection He first appeared to Mary
Magdalene - and commissioned her to
go and tell His. disciples' that he had
risen' from, the "Dead." 1 She ' .said:
"There was a legion like this jrhen
Jesus ascended back to heaven. ' He
told Gabriel that He had died for the
people and Gabriel said well , do they
know it and Jesuus said part of them,
not all and .he asked how shall they
know it? and Jesus said I left my
disciples' to tell it but suppose they
fail to tell ft and Jesus said we have
no other plan" All that hear her will
receive inspiration to be more faithful.-,

" Method. -: --?iX;'.YVf. , ; v
-Mr. D. R. iCokef. " nresiden t and
general' manager 1 of tho Pedigreed
Seed Co. of HartsvilleT ? S.v C, . has
issued a circular i giving interesting
facts in connection with his calcium-
molasses method of boll weevil con
trol. The ' Robesonian is indebted to
Mr. Ralph Sharpe, , warehouse; mana
eer of tJbie comnany. for a copy. Mr.
Coker Tsays that after investigation
and careful observation he Is con
vinced that .this' method presents the
most effective 'method of bou weevil
control.-He goes $ into -the.-subject
at length, giving the results of ex
periments, and quotes a circular, pub-
ished by the Delta Laboratory at
Tallulah, La.', which gives an account
of accurate , tests of the comparative
offAnnrv nf i tliA .- i'ftlluni larnenate
molasses method and- the" t dusting

method.- . -
This vircular goes f length into
tests made and concludes:
"Considering these - records as a
wJhoUi it is seen, tha the-'molaases
mixture . does, exercise certain - de
gree of control over, the boll Weevil
but thatthia, is generally les than
that tsecured with' plain dusted ,cair

ditions it was found that a much bet.
far Aatrraa nt -ATltm -. n9 PP.ured
from the molasses mixture than with
the "calcium arsenate, but this result
was" noted , only in the case , of very
small cotton plants averaging only a
few inches In height, and- also only
during exceedingly dry weather. The
latter fact was particularly noticeable
and is probably the" key-note of the
variation In results. Jt , seems quite
probable that (during exceedingly, dry
weattier the weevils' . visit .the drop
lets of molasses mixture for" thelpur
pose of securing moisture but do not
follow this practice to as marked a
degree during normal weather. In
other words, the results so far indi
cate: that dusted calcium arsenate is
superior' to the molasses mixture ex
cept durintr exceedintrlv dry weather
andXon .', very small plants. At 5"the
present time the growth of the cotton
plants has apparently ; reached ' the
point where the 1 molasses mixture !
does not give any marked degree of I
control. . Our fairly large scale ap
plications on an acreage basis showed
that it takes at least one hour and a
half to treat one acre of ' small cotton
With - the - molasses mixture and this
would make1 the labor' cost of the ap
plication somewhat, greater than that
involved 'in .applying .the, plain - dust;
In view; of such results there seems
to be little reason 'for using the. mo
lasses mixture in preference to plain
calcium arsenate at 'any time and it
certainly should not. be useti on the
cotton plants' after they reach the
squaring 'stage' -.' .v a
Commenting upon these conclusions,
Mr. -Coker thinks that the conclusions
of the .circular ; are not justified by
the results of tests made, and says
that "numerous fahnersin this sec
tion ' used the molasses .poison be
tween the 8tband 20th June? and "so
far as I am informed, every one of
them observed the same effect m the
practical - destruction of all the -old
the middle of June and that has had
the few punctured squarel ' carefully
picsea up since poisoning began has
f-"jrJ.',cowopev weevu -.' aamage
thus far, whereas -fields. ; in ; whfch
nothing has been done to check the
weevil are heavily infected and have
already., suffered serious damage."
Quoting further from MK Coker's obi

Advantages of Calcium-Arsenate Mo-
-i lasses treatment. ? -; , .
"There are very great advantages
of the' " calcium apsenate-molasses
toeatment over the dustfng method.
Firsts it is cheap, the average cost
for materials when amilied tn vmm
cotton being about twenty cents per
acre. Second, it" is slmnlA

The application of ' the tUn'n,
arsenate treatment as late as July 1
may hardly be 'expected to" destroy all
the weevils oik the; cotton although it
will probably kiU a good many. Some
of us used last year in July and
August a spray consisting pf 7 1-2
guona oi water,- 2 1-2 molasses' ahd
10 pounds of calcium' arsenate. The,
water was, first heated, the - calcium
arsenate, thoroughly ? stirred in and
then added, to the molasses. This was!
strained and applied with a barrel!
