DEPOSITORS PEOPLES FIFTY PER CENT It was stated in this paper last week that the depositors of the Peo ples Bank would be paid 50 per cent of their deposits by calling at the Greensboro Bank & Trust Company oh Wicker Street Tuesday. This bank having about 1,800 depositors it was reasonbale to suppose that many of this number would call at the bank at once to receive the checks. While many have called since Tuesday mom ing there has been no great rush. The depositors seem to think that they will have no trouble in getting their money and are not in the least excited over the matter. It seems that confidence has been fully rsotred and that the closing of the bank on April 7th has done nothing more than in convenience some of the depositors. Many who received checks have open' ed accounts with the local banks, while others who needed the money have had the checks cashed for their personal use. The report showed that there was approximately $250,000 on deposit in the Peoples Bank when it closed. One half of this to get circulation in the town and community means a great boost to business. There are other sources through which money is get ting circulation in Sanford and this section. As was stated in The Express last week the dewberry growers in Lee and Moore counties received good prices for the crop which put a lot of money in circulation in this sec tion. Now comes the Sanford Building A Loan Association sending out checks to its stockholders covering interest on paid up shares of stock. At the annual directors meeting in February the board passed a motion changing the interest paying period-from Sep tember 1st, to June 30th, and March 1st to December 31st so as to con form to the fiscal year. As-the Build ing & Loan Association is handling a large volume of business the semi annual interest on paid up shares amounts to quite a nice sum. The funds from this source will help to relieve the financial stringency very much. . CHURCH SERVICES .AT FORT BRAGG ' .

Announcement is made of the Lee bounty Sunday School Convention for' Sunday School workers of il denomi nations, which is to be held in the Pocket Presbyterian church all day Thursday, August 14th. , The contention is being held under the auspices of the Lee County and the North Carolina Sunday School Associations.. The officers of the lo cal County Association are as follows: J. A. Overton, Sanford, president; Miss Ruth Gunter, Sanford, vice-pres ident; S. J. Husketh, Sanford, secre tary; Mrs. J. A. McLean, Broadway, Children's Division Superintendent; Mary R. Tulluck, Sanford, Young People’s Division superintendent; C. E. Teague, adult division superinten dent; J. W. Gilliam, Sanford, admin istrative division superintendent; and the following township presidents: D. E. Shaw, Broadway; T. E. Farrell, Moncure; S. H. McDuffie, Sanford; J. B. Hall, Lemon Springs; and J.L. Cov ington, Jonesboro. Farmers say they find boll weevils in a waiting attitude. They are on the stalks waiting for the appearance of the squares and bloom so they can puncture and destroy them. The farmers throughout this section are destroying them with poison so that the cotton will have a chance to make a crop. The Express is informed that more than fifty per cent of the farmers in this county have bought poison in large quantities and are applying it while the cotton is young. There are now many fields of beau tiful young cotton in the county, the warm weather causing is to take a good start to grow. The outlook for big crops of tobacco and cotton was never better, and with good seasons through July and August there is go ing to be heavy yields of all crops in this section. ! Cotton Costs Average Fifty Dollars an Acre The average acre of cotton pro duced in North Carolina costs $50 in labor, fertilizer, ginning a: d other costs. Working from this as a start ing point, the grower knows that he must produce at least 32 pounds of | lint when cotton sells at 16 scents 1 pound before he will: produce the cost of production. 4 Either this or he must cut the cost of p v.! action below $50 an acre. ‘‘Few growers, howe. know what it costs them to prc<;_ ^ an acre of cotton,” says Dr. <1. W. Forster, agricultural econor.r'st at State College. "The season s not too far advanced but that a fairly ac curate figure may be obtained for this year. It will be necessary to recall the number of hours of family labor, including the operator, and the number of hours of horse or trac tor work put in on the crop up to this tife. Any work done last fall, such as cutitng the stalks, discing and seeding for a cover crop needs to be charged against this year’s cotton. The time spent in breaking discing, harrowing, running rows, ridging, dis tributing fertilizer, seeding, chopping and cultivating should be listed. The time spent by hired labor need not be recorded, but the cash paid should be entered as a direct expense. The value of the fertilizer must be given and manure when used. A fair value of $3 a ton should be charged for the manure. The market price for home-grown seed or the purch ase price for bought seed must be re corded. Dust materials and all item9 from now until harvest must be ac counted for.” The total of all these will show the gross cost, says Dr. Forster. The net cost may be secured by deducting the value of the seed. Thfe net cost divided by the number of pounds of lint grown per acre will give the cost of producing one pound. FIRST PART OF FIGHT WITH BOLL WEEVIL ABOUT OVER Pre-square poisoning with the 1-1-1 molasses mixture is the first and most ; important step in the direct fight igainst the boll weevil. Most of the jotton growers of Lee county have )ut two or three applications of this mixture on their cotton and have the )oll weevil under control. • These farmers should not be bother 1 k! very much with boll weevils for * he next three or four weeks and by t hat time they should have a good < rop of bolls on the plants. Still they hould keep a close watch on their otton and as soon as ten per cent 1 >X the squares (one out of ten) have r >een punctured they should start poi- ^ oning with the standard dust poison, ind should put on about three appli- ® ations of 5 to 7 pounds each of cal- 1 ium arsenate per acre at 5 to 7 day a ntervals. After the squares are two- ^ hirds grown the 1-1-1 mixture will r lot be very effective in killing the r veevifs and we will have to depend I n standard dust after that. p The stand is irregular in most cot ^ on fields this year with some big t talks and more small stalks. The s irst squares will be found on these p iig stalks. Therefore they should be e matched closely and these punctured r quares should be picked up once a i veek and burned. t Where the first" application of the -1-1 mixture was not put on until r here wore squares on these large g talks it will pay to w’atch these f talks and pick up any squares that fc nay be punctured. I was In a field t his week where the first application n »f the 1-1-1 mixture was being put * n and I found plenty of punctured I; quares on the large stalks. This cot on should have been poisoned ten • [ays earlier. t E. O. McMahan, County Agent, t LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mr. G«ntry Womack spent his va cation in New York. Mrs. W. P.
