This question asked by the Fourth Estate furnishes much food for thought. It is indeed, and interesting conjecture.

It has facts df interest to all North Carolinians who are interested in their state. Some of these aiv big facts. For instance it tells that the largest shipping point in the world for tuberoses and magnolia bulbs is at Mapnolia, in Duplin county. Dup lin claims another "biggest" in Calypso, the world's largest cu cumber market. Eastern North Carolina wants more people to cultivate its thou sands of acres of fertile idle land. It is not depending for its agricul tural prosperity on the cultivation of cotton and tobacco alone, but pea nuts, melons, truck, fruits and oth er products of the soil are raised, be sides being one of the finest corn producing areas in the country. The breeding of hogs, poultry and bet ter cattle is coming on apace. The long battle against the cattle tick has been fought out in bitterness to a victory that promises sweetness in the development of a fine livestock industry. The long neglected fish and oyster industry of the coast is beinp nutured by the state and al ready the returns sre almost beyond hope; and they are just in the be jrinning. It may be yet that there will be developed on the Carolina coast one or more great ports, to the great benefit of all of us. Any bow, it appears that there are many folks in Eastern Carolina who are alive to the things that could and should be and they mean to tell the world about it. In seeing North Carolina, don't forget to drive down fast. belt. With the approach of cold weather , there is another distinct movement On the part of the weevil. This is into winter quarters in and about I cotton fields. Examinations of Span ish moss at different distances from i fields have shown that the distance; 'fields covered in this flight into win Jter quarters is not verv great. One of the most striking things connected with the boll weevil is the ! rapid advance it has made across the i -cotton belt. The insect made its way I I into the United States in extreme) 'southern Texas about 1892. It has now covered the territory to the At- ' lantic Seaboard and as far north as ' Virginia. The advance each year has averaged about fifty miles, al though climatic conditions reducing the number of weevils present in the ; fields, have sometimes caused the advance to be much less than that; Under some conditions the boll j ..roa-iril ie enmotimne srTP?lH bv man 1 M I I.

Spread by this means has been of very little importance, as it is generally exceed ed by the distance by the natural flight of the insect.
