FIVE CENTS
KILL BOLL WEEVILS
WITH SWEET POISON
Farmers of Lee County Now
Fighting The Pest with Cal
cium Arsenate and Molasses.
Boll weevils are out in large num
bers now and can be found in most
cotton fields in Lee county. There
fore it i£ time to make the first ap
plication of sweet poison 1-1-1 mix
-^The mixture is made by mixing one
pound of Calcium Arsenate with one
gallon of water and then adding one
gallon of molasses,- and stirring the
mixture thoroughly. One gallon of
this mixture seems to be enough to
properly treat an acre of small cotton;
however the amount used per acre
will necessarily increase as cotton^
becomes larger. ;
The first application of the 1-1-1
mixture should be made when the first
squares appear on the plants. Ad
ditional applications should be made
at five to seven day intervals until
three applications - have v been
made. The plants are usually too
large after this for best results from
the 1-1-1 mixture. —
A mop made by tying strips of bur
lap bagging on the end of a stick or
* short board, this atrip of board
seems to be the best means of apply
ing the 1-1-1 molases mixture. Care
should be taken to keep the Calcium
Arsenate in suspension by stirring
the mixture before and while it is be
ing applied. .
The merits of sweetened poison
have been shown in. tests by experi
ment station workers _and practical
farmers in South Carolina. Below
are extracts from a few of many let-,
ters from farmers to Dr. W. W. L°ngf»
Director of Extension Work, in South
Carolina, showing the profitable re
sults from sweetened poison: 1
Timnionsviie, S. C. Jan. 24, 30.
I used both liquid poison and the
dust. Three applications of the' 1-1-1
mixture were made from eight to ten
days apart, but only two of _ these
were effective on account of rain.
Two applications of dust were
made under very favorable weather
conditions and I think were effective
in keeping the weevils from punc
turing* the late bolls. The total cost
per acre for poison and labor was
$2.88. There was no cost for machin
lint cotton per acre.
On an adjoining field of twelve
ery. The yield was 540 pounds of
acres of the same type of soil and
same state of cultivation, which was
not poisoned, the yield was 181 lbs.
of lint cotton per acre. .

I had 80 acres in cotton from which
I gathered 77 bales averaging 487
pounds. I made from two to six ap
plications of calcium arsenate dust,

i.F.K COUNTY FARMERS ARB
POISONING BOLL WEEVILS
The farmers of - Lee county are
fighting the boll weevil in earnest
t.hi« year. More than 225 farmers
attended two poisoning demonstra
tions that were given last week where
they learned how to mix the. 1-1-1
sweet poison mixture, make the mops,
and apply the poison to the cotton.
Moot of these farmers have already
purchased their poison materials and
put on the first application.
More than 5500 pounds of calcium
arsenate and 4000 gallons of molasses
have been purchased by Lee county
farmers within the last two weeks.
This is enough of these materials to
poison three-fourths of all the. cotton
being grown in the county this year
one time, or' it is enough for the
three applications on 4000 acres, or
one-third of the crop of the county.
- If every farmer in the county
iwould put on three applications of
the 1-1-1 molasses mixture by the
first of July, the over winter weevils
would be thinntd out to such an ex
tent that it should not be necessary
to dust later in the season, and Lee
county would make a full crop of cot
ton in spite of the large number of
weevils now on the cotton plants. i

HOSPITAL BOARD TO MEET
TO-NIGHT
The board of trustees of the Lee
County1 Hospital which met at the
court house on Wednesday night of
last week and organised, will meet
again to-night to receive offers for
sites for the institution. The Express
is informed by J. .R. Ingram, chair
man of the board, that a number of
sites, some pf which are very de
sirable, will be offered by citizens of
the town. A site will Hardly be se
lected at this meeting as the board
will want to consider everything'con
nected with the site chosen for the
hospital. Location, size of the lot and
many other things will have to be
considered. An architect, whose busi
ness will be to draw the plans and
specifications of the building,will prob
ably be chosen tonight, so that ,he
can go to., work at , once and get up
the blue prints. When the blue prints
are made ready, the board will meet
and let the contract for the construc
tion of the building. The money for
the bonds is now in hand and no doubt
the equal amount of funds that will
be given by the Duke Foundation Fund
can be had any time. If the matter
is pushed there is no reason why the
hospital, can’t be completed and in
operation within the next few months.
At an adjourned meeting of the
County Commissioners- last Monday
Mr. W. R. Hartness was elected a
member of the board of trustees, in
place of Rev. Frank C. Hawkins,
who declined to become a member ef
the board. A resolution was
passed... at the meeting on Wed
nesday night of last week that no one
serving up the board be allowed re
muneratfdn'f6r -service rendered. This
action will no doubt meet the hearty
approval pf the people of Lee county.

FRANK STREET IN AN EX

While a Party of Prohibition
Enforcement Agents Chase
Rum Runners ProhibitiSh
\ Agent P. L. Flinchum Shot
and Killed—H. V. Andrews
Wounded in the Left Arm and
Right Leg:—Frank Street Cut
About, the Mouth and Face
by Car Becoming Wrecked.
_ Frank Street, who has for some
time been in the serfice of the gov
ernment as a-prohibition agent, was
in aii exciting chase after rum run
ners in and near Goldsboro last Tues
day morning. He was cut about the
face by the. car becoming wrecked
after one of the prohibition agents,
| P. L. Flinchum, was shot and killed,
i Mr. Street came from Goldsboro to
l Raleigh where he was met by Mrs.
i Street and Mr. S. J. Husketh Who ac
| companied him home. While he is
, sore, he is now little the worse for
I his experience. He will not soon for-’
i get his experience in the running
tight with rum runners which ended
up in a wrecked car and a bullet
hole through his hat. The following
[ account of the affair was sent out
from Goldsboro under date of June
17th:
Two suspected liquor runners early
today fired on four prohibition en
forcement agents who were pursuing
them in an automobile, killing one
and wounding another.
P. L. Flinchum, 33, was killed and
H. V. Andrews, 41, wounded in the
left arm and right leg. B. A. Dale
40, and F.. E. Street, 62, the other
agents, were bruised and cut when
the automobile, which Flinchum was
driving swerved from, the street and
crashed into a tree after he was shot.
The liquor runners escaped after
the shooting. Officers were appar
ently without a clue to their identity
beyond the meagre descriptions the
i enforcement agents were able to give
! tji'em. The liquor car was of a low
i priced make and descriptions of it
,Avere sent to neighboring towns and
! The four agents were attached to
j district enforcement headquarters at
| Wilson. The received a “tip" that
j an automobile load Of whiskey would
be brought through Goldsboro some
time during last night and came here
to intercept it.
Shortly after 3 o'clock this morn
ing an automobile which they believ
ed to be that they were seeking was
sighted two miles from Goldsboro.
Falling in their efforts to halt it
then, the agents followed, in their
car. -
The two miles into Goldsboro
were made at what Andrews after
wards leacribed as a “70-mile clip”
and near the city park where the
agents’ car drew near its quary. ,
Andrews said one of the suspected
asserted, he and none of his compam
ions had drawn a pistol or fired a
shot.
The gunfire continued for a few min
utes in a running fight until Flinchn
was shot through the forehead and
the agents’ car wrecked. The four
enforcement officers were taken jn the
Goldsboro hospital where Flinchum
died.
A native of Danbury, Flinchum had
been connected with the Wilson de
j partment of prohibition.

f four or five miles of Broadway. 1
luch of this wheat was raised in t
conuty. We also noticed many ' j
elds of harvested wheat in Harnett*
ounty between Broadway and Lil-; 1
ngton. We aFe informed that the t
rop is good. In some fields the | j
shocks” were very thick which 1
howed that there was a good stand | i

ge of beautiful young com which j i
howed that the farmers are going' <

hey did last year. The prospect i
or tobacco is perhaps better at this i -
eason than in any year since the | ,

PROPERTY VALUE LOSES
SLIGHTLY LIST DISCLOSES I
Taxable value of property in Lee ;
County listed for taxation this spring |
totals approximately $15,000,000, it
is stated by J. M. Clark, County i
Auditor. This indicates a loss in valua 1
tion ,of about $100,000 from the j
amount shown last year, which was t
approximately the same value as the
year before.
This will be the approximate fig
ure, states Mr. Clark, if there is no
loss in corporate excess, and no ser
ious drop' is expected there.
One of the main items entering
into the loss in personal property list
ing was the dropping of automobile!
values shown on the books. Fewer |
cars were purchased during the past
twelve months than in the previous
year and the old ones lost consider- j
able in their listed values. j

In a note to The Express Mr. T. A.
Kennedy, head of the Kennedy Quarry
lear Three Points, states that lie ex
pects to be able to start sawing stone
m a day or two. The machinery is
about ready to be put in operation
and in a week or two he expects to
ae turning out the finished product
m a large scale. Many of the people
[jf Sanford have never seen a plant
of this kind in operation, and it is
worth a trip out to the quarry to see
it. Some of the older citizens, of the
place visited quarries in operation in
and around Sanford years atJ j and
saw the stone taken out of the ground
and sawed or dressed, loaded v.n the
cars and shipped. We quote the fol
lowing paragraph from Mr, Kennedy’s
letter: . 4 ■- . ’
“This letter is to invite you to come
out to the quarry just as soon as the
wheels begin to turn. You have shown
interest in this new enterprise and I
am counting on your aid in Uing
the rest of the country whav affine
parts of the country is start ^ up
feel that we should sell son.- ;tone
The depression everywhere**11 build
ing trades made it unwise to cut
stocks before this time. I am in touch
with what is going on, and feel that
the time is near for defenite action.
Let Sanford believe in what she has
and she will be uniting to make the
rest of the country believe it also.”

Three aeroplanes attracted atten
tion by repeatedly circling over San
ford Tuesday in group formation,
flying abreast. At times it seemed
from a distance as if their wings
would touch. Swinging and banking
from side to side they moved through
the air as gracefully as an eagle on
the wing. The men at the controls
knew their business and had their
machines under thorough control.
