J se ( hinese Doctrine on Sweet Pota
toes.
Raleigh, March B.—Black rot, scurf
and other diseases of tlie sweet potato
may be prevented by dipping the
roots in a solution of corrosive sub
limate before bedding, says „0. YV'.
Fant, entension worker in plant
diseases for the State College and
Department of Agriculture. Mr. Fanl
shows that this preventative measure
is of great value *in ifie
quality of potatoes produced and
should be to lowed as faithfully as
the Celestials of China practice their
j doctrine of preventative medicine.
Seed sweet potatoes can be steriliz
ed by using four ounces’of the soe
j lunate to~3o gallons of water and Tile
U’oots allowed to stand in the solution
from eight to 10 minutes. They .io
then allowed to dry. Clean sand, never
used before for bedding and coma til
ing no refuse from previous crops. i>
recommended ,by 'Mr. Fant for use *is
bidding. He staieji that potatoes -o
treated are fit for bedding only as the
poison is absorbed by the skin’ of the
root, and therefore cannot he used for
food.
(Care must be taken with the cor
rosivc sub imate as it is \a violent ;
poison both'''to animals and hitmans.
The solution in which it is used also
grows weaker as the potatoes are
dipped arid must be renewed for large
amounts. The quantity of seed to
treat will determine the amount
needed to he made up and tin* Seed
should be treated immediately before
bedding. The poison corrodes metal
and so weeden barrels should be used
for holding the solution. These recom
mendations are made by Mr. Fant to
help the Tarheel farmer make mom
money in his sweet potato crop this
year. -

At an early date it is hoped that at

stantial way.
Quite a stimulus in tlie way of cor
recting careless enunciation, ungram
matical construction, use of slang, and
mis-pronuneiatlon. was noticed at a re
sult of the efforts of the Kannapolis
children to profit by the “Better
Speech Week.”
The children deserve to be com
mended for their hearty response in
in writing the essays and the good
works they did on tlm posters.
PRESIDENT WRITES TO
OFFICIALS OF SHOPMEN
Sees No Reason Why the Shopmen’s
Strike Everywhere Cannot lie Set
tled.
\yfisliington, ’ March C. —President
Harding informed officials of the. rail
way shop crafts that lie can see no
“adequate question of principle”
which warrants further dVlay in set
tlement in all districts of last sum
mer's shopmen's strike.
In'- a letter written just before, he
left Washington fur Florida and
made public today at the White House',
jthe President declared that “a minor
ity of the interests involved” by their
refusal to settle were "largely respon
sible for the interrupted coal deliver

conditions in certain parts of the
country.”

Bean Beetle in State Now.
Raleigh, X. ('./March I.—A new do- j
structive insect —the Mexican Bean;
Beetle' —lias invaded North Carolina |
and now is in eight mountain coun
ties, aJccoi'dinj# to Franklin Sherman,
chief of the Division of Entomology,
Experiment Station. 4 j
“About 1010. there was an out- j
break of a new bean pest around Bir
mingham. Alabama, which soon was to
}>e determined to be the Mexican Bean
Beetle, long present in southwestern
states., but not before known east
ward.” l\e said Tonight.
“During the next several years, it
spread around Birmingham, but itsl
progress was most rapid to the north-^
west. As it van both crawl and ilyjno 1
quarantine measures hn«l any effect
and soon were withdrawn. The bee- j
tie now is in a large part of eastern
Tennessee and parts of Kentucky. In j
1021, it invaded Cherokee and Clay j
counties <4 this slats'. During R>22. ;
it spread nearly to Waynes vide ami
Hendersonville, and will likely reach
Asheville in 1023."
Letters to the expert, he said, from
farmers in tin* affected territory in
this state indicate that the beetle is
the most destructive insect of their |
experience, and seriously reduces the
crop of table beans and other varie
ties.
A Lane to the Gravel I*it.
Charlotte Observer.
Every once in a while the highway (
construction forces have a fine gravel
|ed by the wayside from which a con
venient supply of surfacing material
is in sight, but not within reach. The
man who owns the land between the
bed and the road refuses to give per- j
mission to make a rojidway over which
the needed gravel could be transport
ed. They are'not all like J. P. Cook,
who ruralize-; between Concord and
Mt. Pleasant, and who not only gives
his gravel and bis land away to the
road-working forces, but prepares a
chicken dumpling dinner for them on
'occasion. So, the State Highway
Commission had to do something, and |
to this something a friend in tlio j
Legislature helped it to. The law
now is that the contractor may con
demn a lane of land from the high
way to a gravel bod. no matter how
much sand the owner may kick up
about it. The obstructive disposition
in small matters sometimes works
much annoyance., and highway senti
ment in North Carolina will, be found 1
in fulfil sympathy with this amend- 1
ment to the road law. <
