, ROTARY MEETING
Two Addresses and Fine Musical Pro
gram Enjoyed at (’tub’s Weekly
Meeting.
Election oi' three new', directors,!
talks on “Business Relations,” witlii
special (anabasis on the relation bc-j
tweejj employer and employee, and one
of the finest musical programs ever!
.heard in this city, featured the week-'
ly meeting of the Concord Rotary Clifb,
-iit tin* Y Tuesday night.
The new directors chosen h\i the club;
ore Tester Coltrane. E. 11. Brown and]
A. (1. Odell. Others nominated for j
this position were Fab Haywood. .Jim I
I >avvault. Bill Flowe. .John Oglesby. I
Shipp Webb. Charles Ivey. A. F. Hart
sell, John Allison and Bob IlidenhourJ
The program for the meeting was ar
ranged by Ed. Sanvain. who though ill |
at his home for the past ten days, gave l
enough thought to the matter to pre
sent a litre lineup by tile meeting time. I
In the absence of Sanvain, John Ogles
by acted as chairman.
Bill Jenkins and Torn Lawrence, the
ministers in the club, were the speak
ers, and each declared that the adop-i
iion of tlie Golden Rule by both em
ployer and employe would settle all
differences between them. 1
Tom briefly outlined how men in
the early ages lived by their wits, by
their brawn and their daring. Later
as the race increased competition be
came keener, and men resorted to
trickery to secure their food and other
necessities. There was always “un
der dog" and always the man who
was willing to take all if the chance
appeared.
And today, Tom said, there is a
great deal of the same spirit in Ims
siness. Some men are trying so hard
to make all the money they.can they
are not so very particular as to the
means they employ. They think too
much of themselves and their profits.
Instead of this basis for conducting
business they should adopt the Golden
Rule, lit' said. *
Bill said he never liked the term
“capital and labor." which intimates
classes. Ho said he thought all peo
ple should he regarded -as men. not
classes. One of the greatest curses
Os the day, he said„ is class conscious
ness and we should get.away from it.
The difference between the employer
and the employe started back in the
days of slaves. Bill said, and each
change in business conditions has been
attended .by the same feeling of differ
ence. When the first, great manufac
turing plants were established in Eu
rope the owners of the plans eared
nothing for Cue life of the employes.
The laborers? lived in that
finally became so had they threatened
society, ;uul then persons became in
terested in the welfare of the workers
and demanded a change. - The first
large employer that advocated and
adopted a 12-hour day and then a 10-
hour day for his labours was consid
ered a tit subject for an asylum by
his associates, the speaker said.
Friendship and candor will do more
than anything else except a common
basis for the efforts of both to wipe
out the differences between the em
ployer and tile employe, Bill added.
Belli sides should make service the
basis for their labor and capital, and
once this idea is grasped by till par
ties concerned, the feeling of almost
bitterness that now exists in some in
stances. will be wiped out. and the
Golden Rules will be applied by till.

ADVIQE TO FARMERS
FIGHTING BOLL WEEVIL
New and Untried Methods Should Be
Used With Caution.
Wilson, N. C„ March 24 (By the As
sociated Press). —"As the responsible
agencies for scientific research in the
states, the agricultural colleges can
recommend to the people only such
methods as have Iw*en fully establish
ed by adequate aud dependable scien
tific data. Until proof shall l>e avail
aide. new or untried methods and de
vices should be used with caution and
with a view of testing their efficiency
rather than depending upon them for
self control.”
This was the advice of Dr. Andrew
M. Soule, president of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, gave, in
an address at the Eastern Carolina Ex
position today, to farmers fighting the
cotton boll weevil. The speaker's ad
dress was to a technical dis
cussion of tlie methods of combatting
the weevil and was heard by a large
number of planters.
“.V resume of the situation shows
that the Doll weevil has spread over
practically all the cotton producing
territory: that he lias come to stay;--
that iiis complete eradication by any
method now known is impossible and
that wherever he invades a locality
for the first time, his advent is at
tended with great loss and discomfort
and with a complete unsettling of the
'farm practice in vogue." he asserted.
' “Later, the people are able to ad
just themselves to the new conditions
which follow in the wake of the boll
weevil invasion, and the community
again becomes permanently prosjier- •
ous and (continues to grow cotton with
a considerable degree of success. The '
researches and investigations made up
to this time indicate that while no
one definite means of controlling the
weevil has been discovered, that
through the wise employment of all
tin* facts and information known, fair
crops of cotton may still be raised.
“In this connection, it is of the ut
most importance that the farmer real
ize that only those methods of con
trol which have been proven effective
should be employed anil that he* should
not be inveigled into the use of nos
trums t>r machinery for catching wtf*-
vil which are without-merit.
“The procedure to follow is to so
ioet well-drained land which will
yield one-half bale and upward per
acre under normal conditions, break
it up in the fall very thoroughly, be*d
it in the spring as early as practica
ble. fertilize it liberally \yifh high
grade formulas containing quickly
available plant food elements, culti
vate it rapidly.so as to hasten matur
ity and. pick or poison the weevils
wisely and efficiently.
“If this is done, people of vision
and courage can, still grow cotton with
a considerable degree of success.
There is no reason why we should not
continue to he the main cotton grow
ing country of the world lief a use we
can increase the yield per acre ma
terially over what il is at the pres- -
• cut time. We have tin* most favor
able soil, labor ami climatic conditions
in the world for cotton cultivation .on
a big simile.
“The cotton farmer of | the soutli is
entitled to a fair price for his cotton.
T believe he should have cost plus just
like ’the balance of society.
“If lie co-operates successfully, this
end may be attained. I am inclined
to jjiink the world realizes that it
must pay a better price for cotton in
tliq,future than it lias done in the
past. I believe, therefore, that if we
exercise a due degree of intelligence
and skill in the production of cotton
and if we have a proper vision and
understanding of the future, we will
win through \a success in the fight
against the boll weevil.”
Dr. Soule called attention to the
boll weevil's entrance into the south
thirty years ago and how the people
had been warned of tjie danger. This
warning, lie continued, always has been
received with an “incredulous sort of
smile*” in uninfested territory.
“Thus, a united and determined ef
fort to control his spread has never
been mack* until now it is too late.”
he asserted. “Like many other pests,
he is now firmly entrenched through
out tlie length and breadth of the cot
ton belt, and his complete extermina
tion therefore appears at Ibis time to
be impracticable.”
