YOUNGSTERS ATTEND CHILDREN’S REVIVAL — Large crowds of children rang ing in ages from 4 to 14 attended a children's revival concluded Sunday at Glad Tid ings Church. The pastor, Rev. William J.

In connection with the services, th e children were treated to a picnic Saturday afternoon at Tyler Park. A combined Sunday School and morning worship concluded the revival Sunday. A special progra m by the children was featured. Evangelist and Mrs. Ray Brewer of Great Falls, Mont., took part in the services. Rev. Brewer, left, and Rev. Belbin are shown in th e foreground.

His daddy told me the day he was sworn in that he brought Jim to Raleigh “when the boy was not more than 10 or 11 years old”. Af ter a little visit with William A. Graham, Jim blurted out to his father that some day he meant to be “Agriculture Commissioner of this here State”. Almost every day from that day forward — and certainly for the past 20 years — Jim Graham had a burning, gnawing yearning to be Commissioner of Agriculture. Go vernor? No. not interested. Sen ator? No! “I want to be Agriculture Com missioner, man! I want that, and nothing but that”, Jim would say to almost anybody Who would list en. ; '■. ■ i » Had he not been "blessed with Just a lot of Common, hprse sense and a knowledge of, and respect .for, the late L. Y Ballentine’s savvy and political sense, Graham would have opposed him in the Demo cratic Primary this year. He want ed to — in the worst way — for he felt he had done what he came to do as head Of Farmers’ Mar ket, a division of the N. C. De partment Of Agriculture. He had developed lhto one of the very best in the land. His ambitions there had long ago been pretty well fulfilled and, like a young yearling in May - time, he dreamed of greener pas tures. Graham was all set to be come agribusiness man with one of the State’s big banks aldng in the fall had not Commissioner Bal lentine’s death opened for him the door. No kin is lie to Major W. A Gra ham, who was Commissioner .of Agriculture from 1908 to 1923, nor to the major’s son, W. A., whom Gov. Cameron Morrison appoint ed to the .place immediately upon the death of the major They were f.rom Lincoln County — Iron Sta tion to be exact — and Big Jim is from Rowan County. Incidentally, one of the reasons W. Kerr Scott ran against W. A. Graham in 1936 was that Graham’s father had once beaten Scott’s father. Bob Scott, for Agriculture Commissioner. We were wrong here last week when we said the job pays $15,000. The salary is $18, 000 pdr annum, or some $8,Q00 more than Jim Graham received as Farmers Market head Had Mrs. Graham liked moun tain fanning a little more — she is also from Rowan — Jim might today still be superintendent of the Upper Mountain Test r. rm at Laurel Springs.

He knows cattle; he knows fairs; he knows politics; and, like Kerr Scott, he is a Personality. We pre dict that the N. C. Agriculture De partment will see New Force under Jim Graham, L- Y. Ballentine had intense loyalty up and down the line in the department. But so will Jim Graham, because there are so many fine employees in it. Graham, however, will be more picturesque; more farmerish, more earthy than his predecessor Jim Graham should have long and pleasant year's as Agriculture Commissioner. He loves people — and they dove him. So well will he fill the place that within three or four years one will wonder how the old farm got along so well for so many years without Jim at the helm.; i DEAD WOOD....The Democrats feel they have the stuff to defeat Barry GoldWater- in North Carolina, civil rights or no, and guns are be ing loaded. They say, and look lor it soon, they have proof that GOP Candi date Qpldryater is firmly against, crop controls, fete., of any kind. Well, if you recall, there was a wave of panic In the State when President Eisenhower took office — but his liberal tendencies saved our tobacco program. Democrats say Goldw^qr.. makes.

No holds barred! i STRANGE FATE....It is interest ing to note that: Both Lincoln and Kennedy were j most concerned with Civil Rights issues- Lincoln was elected Presi dent in 1860 and Kennedy In I960. Both were slain ,<on Friday, and each in the presence of his wife. Their successors, both named Johnson, were Southern Democrats, and previously served in the U For your greatest supporting cast in banking-move your checking account to First-Citizens!

I have been working with producers in all sections of the county and have found that there is a heavily fruited crop on the lower part of the plant. How ever, the top bolls must be saved if a bale or better of cotton is to be expected per acre. A good insect control program is most important from now until the plant stops squaring. This phase of the control program is designed to (1) protect the crop of bolls previously set, (2) allow the setting of additional bolls in order to achieve near maximum yields, and (3) reduce the number of boll weevils which go into hi bernation. During late season one is faced with two important problems (1) migrating bool weevils and (2) the dangerous third-brood of bool worms. Weevils migration begins during the last week of July. It begins from the early planting of cotton which did not receive ef fective weevil control measures. Migration usually lasts for about 12 days, with a definite high peak coming midway of this’ period. The third brood of boll worms also attack cotton at this time. This brood is generally widespread and txlremcly dangerous. Due to a shortage cf tender growth and small squares, the worms go di rectly to the bolls. Applications should be applied every five days and should be continued until the plant stops squaring. With our late crop and rains, we will most likely want to ■v '.-rC ,■ ?
