FIRE PREVENTION DAY IS CHANGED Secretary McAdoo Urges That There Be No Conflict witn Liberty Loan Campaign Complying with tho tnggestloa of Hoa. William G.

Yonng, State In surance Commissioner and Fire Marshal, announces that North Carolina will ob serve Saturday, November 2, as Fire Prevention Day, and tho following week November' 4-10 aa Cleaa-Up Week.

Mr. Robertson is a graduate of the State College of Agriculture class of 1912 and has' spent six years in corn club work. Net only has hs beea very successful in this but he has made many friends of farm boys out over the State encouraging many of them to go to school and later to college.

This is the summary of ths situation put out yesterday by tho North Carolina Council of Defense, in the expectaney that ths people of North Carolina will give tho measure ths generous support that is customarily given the requests of ths government la its war program. As tii eJtat Council of Defense es timates ths situation, many who are prosperous and enterprising enough to own or hire motor vehicles will bo sorry to give up their Sunday rides, but will so loyally obey the no-Sunday-riding re quest as to make a mandatory order unnecessary. The Germaa government in a like ease would issue a "verhoten" with-appropriate penalties; ths Ameri can government issues a request, rely ing on Its citizens to govern them selves accordingly. Good citizens will not take any pleasure la recreation which weakens enr army. Th com pletenes with which ths request is obeyed oa September 1 and the follow ing Sundays will b a test of both In dividual and community conscience. To maks up for tho no-Sunday-nding by unreasonable week-day consumption of gasoline would obviously violate ths spirit of the request; good citizens will scorn such a subterfuge. The purpose of the request is clear; ft will bo loy ally obeyed in order that ajir army trucks, our tanks, our airplanes, and ths ambulances which carry Amerlesn wounded msy be abundantly supplied. A pleasure bought with American blood is poor pleasure. In England there has beea for a long time almost no use of motor vehicles for pleasure. In tho United States mo tor owners have been spared restric tions until a threatened shortage of gasoline for war nse makes tho pres ent request unsroidsbls. It so happens that ths height of the motoring season coincides with enormous shipments of gasoline overseas and unprecedented ac tivity at the front. It is expected that the aims spirit of loyalty which puts many ears at the service of the Bed Cross and the gor ernment will mako obedience to ths Sundsy request practically automatic COMMISSIONER YOUNG TO ATTEND CONVENTION Will Preside Over Annual Con vention of Fire Marshals Association of Amerces, Mr. James B.

I Raleigh Board Instructs 51 Registrants To Report For Instruction This Week Local exemption board No. !, which haa jurisdiction in Baleigh township, has started its "work or Aunt ' erusade against registrants now employed in non-essential business. Official notices have been sent to 61 registrants in structing them to report to the board this week for instruction in regard to employment in essential places of busi ness. Half of the registrants receiving the "work or fight'' notices must report Sep tember 4 to the board while the other half are to report September 6.

The board gavs regis trants time in which to make volun tary ehanges before sending out the of ficial notices. Clerk Willis G. Briggs was out of the city yesterday and it could not be as certained how many registrants will be affected by the "work or fight" notices. All boards, it is understood, have been instructed by headquarters to put the work or nght' order into effect at once. The order does not mean that regis trants will be sent to camp regardless of their classification, it was explained, but will first be given an opportunity to secure employment in essential places of bnsinees. If the registrants fail to give up non-essontial work, then they will be taken in eharge by the board for further action. THORNTON TO LEAVE SERVICE OF STATE Resigns As Assistant Chemist To Go With R.

Crops are being eaten up over night ia soms instances snd a serious financial loss it threatened. Par ticularly ia this true of tho vicinity of New Bern. Kellum, Pollocksvllls snd Vawnnrt hava mnorted serions losses. and Mr. B. W. Leiby, Assistant Ento mologist of the North Carolina Depart ment of Agriculture, is now in tho east era part of the State determining the extent of tho outbreak and advising the farmers in control measures. Mr. Leiby mnnrta that arrei of neanuta hava al ready been destroyed and that the cot ton already damaged by tns recent storms is seriously threatened witn com plete destruction. . Ths worms are now about full grown and somejiavfalread; jsntered soil to pupate and produce" moths. Tfhese mntha vhirh will enma from the eoeoons wUl lay eggs this season which will yet producs another brood or worms, uence there is danger of further destruction unless control measures ar applied at ice.. Ordinarily ths worms a held In check by their natural enemies known ss parasites. The absence of these para sites is largely responsible for ths present outbreaks. In spplying control measures It la so- solutely essential that ths community be organized. All farmers troubled with srmy worms must co-operate snd all should be urged to apply remedial meas ures. If this is not done, a sufficient number of moths may be reared on one small place to reinfect the whole com munity and render ths work of others useless. ' 1 Control Measare. Ths army worm receives Its name from its hsbit of migrating from ons field to snother in numbers in searrh of food reminding one of a marshing army. This habit gives a clue to con trol. A furrow tea or twelve inches deep should be msds around tho field it is desired to protect. The furrow should be thrown towsrd the advancing worms. Ths sids away from the worms should be perpendicular. If the plow does not make it so, the side must be straight ened with a spsde. This allows tho worms to crawl into the furrow but the straight side prevents them from crawl ing out of ths trench. It is advissbls to then scatter a poison braa mash in ths furrow upon which th worms will feed and be poisoned. The poison bran mash consists of one hundred pounds of wheat bran or bar ley bran, threo pounds of Paris green or four pounds of powdered arsenate of lead, seven and ene-half gallons of cheap molasses, and seven gallons of wster. The poison snd ths bran should be thoroughly mixed dry, the molasses poured over it and ths water then added Thn whole mass should then bt thor oughly mixed. The worms prefer this food to any crop and will eagerly de vour it- This results in desth to ths worms within thirty-six hours. If ths worms are in a field, ths crop of which can still bs saved, ths poison bran mash may bs spread broadcast over the field. About on hundred pounds shonld bs applied to ten seres, It msy also bs plseed in small leaps, about a handful to each heap, svery twenty-five feet esch. way. If spread in this way it should be protected from the sun and placed under a dump of grass or small board to prevent rapid drying out. The mash Is best applied Just after sunrise or about threo o'clock In tho afternoon. The feeding of ths warms is done largely early la the morning and late in the evening. Tho mash should be applied again in four days if the werms persist. Poultry should bs kept from fields on which ths mash has been spread, ss they resdily eat the mash and may be pma oned. There is no danger of poisoning cattle if peanut hay is not fed ths cat tls within two weeks after application of the mash. Farmers of a community whose crops are troubled with the army worm should get together and buy ths materials nec essary for making the poison bran mash in quantities, ibis lessens ths cost o ths materials and will tend to encourage those who have but a small infestation to control the worms along with those who have suffered loss or aro threatened with loss. Ths fsct that ths army, worm has been reported, destructive in Bowan, Onslow and Craven counties suggests that out breaks may occur this week at different places in tho Stste. Farmers are urged to watch for the first sign of the worm and apply control measures immedi ately. Ia so doing a crop may often bo saved, from severe injury or total destruction. Nsw Corporations.
