May 15 —North Carolina may as well make prepara tions now for the return th;s year of the 17-year-locust,” according to the department of agriculture. His shrill,'discordant piping soon will be heard, but only for a short time. I The periodical cicada, as the 17 yeaf-loeust is technically known, is. one of America's strangest bugs, says J. A. Hyslop of the depart ment. It spends most of its life—17 , years in the north and 13 years in the south—practically motionless in an earthen cell, sucking at a rootiet of a tree nr shrub. At the end of this period it changes into the winged insect form and lives for about a month—usually June—in the sun light and fresh air. The department has each breed labeled and located, end, if it will aid any in allaying the ear-splitting racket which they bring, western North Carolinians may be informed that their particular breed is IX. Each breed—there are more than 20—has appeared on regular sched ule, every 17. or 13, years since the Pilgrim Fathers first saw them in the New England forests.

NOW TO HAVE UCENSED DEALERS May Develop Queer Situation For Handling Liquor In Transylvania County COLUMBIA, S. C., May 14—Gov ernor Olin D. Johnston, a personal and political dry, signed a licensing liquor act at 11:32 p. m. tonight with a statement that, he bowed to the will of a wet majority in a primary ref erendum “as a good democrat.’ The stroke of the executive’s pen set in motion machinery for the package sale of liquor through licen sed dealers. Sale becomes legal at sunrise tomorrow. Applications Received Chairman W. G. Query of the state tax commission, which would administer the law, said a number of applications for wholesale and retail licenses already had been received. He announced that the commission would speedily set up an alcohol tax unit to handle licensing and tax matters. Query said “the tax commission will proceed with due caution in is suing licenses to both wholesale and | retail dealers. Forms on which appli cations for licenses must be filed with 1 the commission will be available j Wednesday.” Prospective liquor dealers from many points within and without the j state prepared for an onslaught on . the commission for permits and there , wore reports that liquor trucks would , begin rumbling into the state imme diately to end a drouth of legalized liquor that set in 15 years ago. With possibilities of liquor stores being set up on the Caesar's Head highway near the county line and the same on the Pickens road, much , speculation is going on in Transyl vania county as to just how the sit- i uation can be handled here. Added to this is also the fact that! some authorities claim that under the law passed by the North Caro lina legislature last week presumably relating only to Pasquotank county,! any person has the right to trans port four (marts of whiskey into North Carolina, and not vioftte the law. The particular part of this bill, referred to states: “Provided, that this provision shall not prohibit an individual entering the state from having ir. his posses sion not to exceed four quarts of al coholic beverages.” Tanners Meet Balfour On High School Field Transylvania Tanners will meet the strong Balfour outfit on the high school field Saturday after neon at 3:30 for the fourth game of the Industrial league season.

Purebred Hogs Pay Says County Farmer Purebred hogs pay, whether they are raised for pork or breeding, ac cording to T. J. Wilson, Tansylvania farmer and stock man. Mr. Wilson recently sold ten pure bred Spotted Poland China porkers that, were only eight and one-half months old at a net profit of ten dollars each, or $100 for the brood of ten. Figuring cost of pig* at weaning time, plus corn and other feeds used in raising the litter, Mr. Wilson estimates that his profit for labor income on the lot paid him very well, indeed, considering the fact that hogs are only a sideline with him. The litter of ten ,all from one sow, weighed 2515 when sold last week, and brought a total of $230.

Glazener, Co. Agent) n A mixture known as the “1 in 6'’ has been found to control the flea beetle better than any other mixture, it is mixed as follows: Paris Green one part. Arsenate of lead five parts. In large quantities use from 1 1-2 . to 2 pounds of the “1 in 6” mixture to 50 gallons of water. In small quantities use 1 1-2 to 2 tablespoonfulls of the ”1 in 6”, mixture to 3 gallons of water. Do not substitute calcium arsenate or any other material for Paris Green and arsenate of lead. In my trips over the county I am finding that the flea-beetles arc j doing much damage to potatoes, to mato plants and other garden crops. A few good sprayings wih the “1 in 6” mixture according to directions will soon get rid of the pests. Greens and like crops ready to be eaten should not be sprayed with this poisoned mixture. For spraying vegetables ready to be eaten spray with one of the non poisonous solu tions.

Miss Lillian Dodgin was brought to Lvdky Memorial hospital in Brevard, where her condition was at first re garded ns rather serians. She was burned about the left shoulder, the snine. the left leg, and the heel of the left foot practically torn to shreds. Her clothing was consfder ablv torn and scorched. The three girls were waiting for the mail man at the entance of the Reid’s Siding road two miles this side of Lake Toxaway when the storm struck. They sought shelter from the hail and rrin under a large oak tree near the roadside, and the fact that; the lightning, which first struck tie tree, was carried to the ground on the opposite side from where the girls were standing prob ably accounts for their not being in inst»ntly killed. Miss Dodgin was evidentl® standing on a large feea root of the oak. the lightning follow ing the root after it had struck the tree and glancing onto a log The log was badly split. . . The fact, that the heel was most severely iniured cau»os conclusion that the lightning glanced upward ofo Mi's Dodgin’a liodv instead of com ing down as lightning is generally thought to travel.
