AUTOMOBILES IN NORTH CARO- 1 LINA. j 1 * ! t - - j According to F. O. Yates* of Union ; County, who made a thorough study of the question, there were 204.500 au tomobiles in North Carolina oil April 13th of this year. The figures com- ( * piled by Mr. Yates were published re- j - cently in the, University News Letter i and show Interesting ; fgets relative to ‘ the automobile in the Old North State. : i On January 20th there were* IST.SSI) ' s autos registered in this State, so from ( that date to April 13th there was an T increase of 16,620. April 13tli to- - tal shows one car for every fourteen ! persons in the State. Guilford leads tlie counties of the 1 State fn the number of cars and the j < number of cal?j per inhabitants. There t are 10.777 ears in Guilford, or one for 1 exery 7.9 persons in the county. Dav- •' idson County ranks second as to the } number of cars per inhabitants, and Cabarrus ranks sixteenth, having 3,- ‘ 086 cars, or one for every 11.7 inhabi- - tants. , f The News Letter says that we arej : buying them so fast in the state that | 1 there will soon be one for every family j in the state. That may sound impos- j 1 sible, but here are some of the records listed by the article in the paper re- ‘ ferred to: ' *ln 1915 North Carolina had one mo tor car for every 140 inhabitants. In that year there were ten counties that , had a grand total of eighteen motor j cars, and three counties had none. Ini 1919 the state had one motor car for j i every 23. inhabitants. In 1922 she had j; one motor car for every 17.2 inliahi- j tants. On January 20. 1923. there was j a motor car for every fourteen inhabi-1 tants in the,state., and on April 13 1 w ; e had a motor ear for every, thirteen J inhabitants. The number of inliahi- j i tants per motor car is being reduced j, by three each year, so that in 1924 J there will he one ear for every ten in- ( habitants, in 1925 there will Ik*, one car j for every seven inhabitants, and in | 1926. at our present rate of purchase. I there will lie a motor car for every family, white and black, town and I county, in North Carolina. You may not own a car in 15)26. hut your neigli lw»r will have two. and may lie three or four. many families today each member has his or her private car. GOOD NEWS. / / V The Insurance Department of North Carolina tells us that such an accident as occurred at the Cleveland School near Camden. S. C.. last week, is not . possible in North Carolina now. This j fact, the department points out, is' true because the type of school build-1 ing which was destroyed, and which' was so popular in the South once, is not being used in North Carolina any more, and there are no buildings like it in operation now. The department points out further, that in the erection of schoolhouses in North Carolina, regardless of the lo cality' in which they are erected, great emphasis is laid on the type of build ing used, and particularly upon the type of building as it pertains to ex its. The State Department of Educa tion really oversees the construction of school buildings in the State, hut that department is assisted by officials of the Insurance Department, who are consulted and who must pass upon 'a school building before it is approved. Veritable flretraps are not being used now as school buildings and with the erectlbn of the consolidated schools throughout the State fire towers are required in each ot them. This is a tar-sighted provision by the school and insurance departments. It shows that the authorities are in terested in really providing laws and customs that will act as safeguards to the children. An official of any kind who will agree to the erection of any -1 thing but a safe school building is J foolish and a waster of money. There should be. plenty of exits in every building that is used by children or for any public gathering, for that mat ter, for grown-ups become excited and act almost as foolishly as childr&i at times. FAR- REACHING EFFECTS OF THE FIRE. A representative of the American Red Cross, who hurried to Cy,mden, S. <\. when the news of the Cleveland School disaster was broadcasted, gives some idea of the far-reaching effects of the tire when in a preliminary survey he shows that 42 orphans, 14 widows, two aged paralytics and eight serious ly injured persons will require perma nent relief and that others probably, will be added to this list. The repre sentative of the Red Cross is uloing everything within the power of his or ganization to care for these orphans and widows, lmt aid greater than his organization can give is needed. Gov ernor McLeod, of South Carolina, lias issued a national appeal for aid, and we feel sure that within the near fu ture funds from every part, of the United States, and particularly the; South..will la* sent to South Carolina! to aid the tire sufferers. Americans complain much about the _ various “drives” and wills for aid that j reach them, hut they have never fail- j ed yet to provide bountifully when dirt* j need is pointed out to them. And if anyone ever needed aid it is these people who have been stripped of their parents or children, their only means of support.’ SOUTH STILL LEADS. Cotton spinning showed decreased activity in April as compared with March, but the South still is leading j in spindle hours, the monthly report of the Census department shows. Act ive spindle hours during April totalled 8.787.897. an average of 236 hours.for each spindle in place. compared with 9.531.002.951 or an average of 255 in March this year, and 6.642,139,932. or an average of ISO in April last year. Spinning spindles in place April 30 numbered 37.257.205 of which 35.515.- 791 were operated at some time during the month, compared with 37.308.713 and 35.599.180 for March, and 36.- 874,309 and 31.389,695 for April last yea r. « The average mini her of spindles op erated during April numbered 40.759.- 5)79 or at 109.3 per cent, capacity on a single shift basis, compared with 40.- 35!).029. or at 108.3 per cent, capacity % during March. Statistics for cotton growing states follow: Active spindle hours 4.808,775.761. or an average of 295 hours per spin dle in place, compared with 5,116.534,- 762. or 3-4 hours per spindle in March. Spinning spindles in place April 30 totalled 16,326,754 of which 16.072,152 were operated at some time during the month, compared with 16.313,156 and 16.065.554 Xor March. COUNTERFEITERS ACTIVE. The practice of raising United j States’-Currency above its face value jor making counterfeit money has be- I come so general in the United States j that the secret service division of. the government has issued a general j warning to those handling large sums of money. And Carl 11. Getz, an au thority on forgery and counterfeiting, in a late issue of Hotel Management, says “ninety per cent, of the money in circulation in the United States is in the form of Federal Reserve Bank notes. Ninety-five per cent, of the raised currency in circulation are these same notes. Crooks succeed in chang ing the figures and the loiters, hut they can’t change the portraits. If hank tellers, department store cash i iers. railroad ticket sellers, and otli ! eus who handle large sums of money i j would memorize the portraits which 'appear on the different denominations of Federal Reserve hank notes, there would be very little passing of rais ed currency. This ought to be easy because the portraits which appear on these Hills? are ones which every one remembers from school days. Tlie> are: On a $1 Federal Reserve bank note, Washington: on a $2 Jefferson: on a $5.- Lincoln; on a $lO Jackson, or • a 826 Cleveland: un a 850 Grant; oh* si ‘ 81(H). Franklin.” Mr. Getz is right in his declaratior ' that the average man and woman can'i 1 tell from memory the difference' he : tween a- $1 and a 85 bill, and suggest: 5 that the United States govevnmefr ’ should issue currency with each de 1 nomination so distinctly different tint • every one could quickly tell the differ l j eijce between tlie various denomiua ijtions. The average person looks so: the figures on the currency to deter I • mine its value, and that is what make | their work so easy for the counterfeit 7 ers. We doubt if there are ten person . 'out of each hundred who could tell oft - baud the correct portraits' that a'ppea on different denominations of curren cy. ’• FOR ATHLETIC FIELD. A movement yas started here some .time ago by a number of the students 'of the High School and other young j people who have recently graduated I from the High School for a new ath letic field on the-new school site. In selecting the Allison property on Beach and Cedar streets it was said the • members of the school hoard were in fluenced in their decision by the fact that this property offers such a fine field for athletics, and now hint the natural advantages are available for the first time in the history of a school building here, it is to he hoped 'tlia-t some means can he found where iby they can he developed. • Just how the field can he laid off will probably he left to a landscape gardener to decide. If it. is definitely 'decided to build the field, it is under stood that the expert will he called in *to conference and give his J advice. That means tin* field will he ! systematically laid off’and construct 'ed. and will he modern in every way. | The Concord Rotary Civil) has tnk jen up the question of providing means | for raising the money soy the athletic ‘fields and Other organizations should . ico-operate with it in this work. The ; jßotnrians do not expect to put the •'proposition over without the aid of ( | anyone else, of course. They have tak 'en it up because it is a vital 7juesfion. [and other organizations or individuals 1 (who- are interested in the youth of j jConcUi-d should get behind the ques- 1 1 t.ion and help devise some plan whereby the money can lie raised. Concord is one of the few cities of j ( her size in the State that has no atlv- i letie field or playground for her cliil- j dren. They deserve one. and wo J < should give tins’ matter serious consul-! | oration. ' ] After many delays and interference j work on the Kannapolis road has pro- ( grossed to a point when* it is taking > on definite shape. Preliminary sur veys and excavation work on"a good portion of the road has been oomplet- j ed. and the asphalt coating is being i load now on one stretch of the high- .way. The road is classified as an A-l road in specifications of flu* Btate , Highway commission. am( while it is i not being built entirely new. it will : be practically a new road when com- j pleted. The grade crossing at Cook's j ( Crossing will he eliminated on the new , highway, and the tracks wilT cross J the road at an underpass. The eon-j' struction of the underpass will mean , than an entirely new roadbed will ( have to be constructed, hut ttie dis- < tanee will not be very great, and the work should not delay the opening of ( the road very long. The contractors on tlie job apparently understand the < wishes of the public, for as soon as they completed the base work on a ! reasonable stretch of the road they started laying the asphalt, and that stretch of the road will not he held up while the entire road is being com pleted. PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED FOR SATURDAY MEETING Mrs. Jane McKimmon to-Speak at Cen tral School. —Prizes to Be Given by L. T. Hartsell. A slight change in the original pro gram planned for Saturday, when Mrs. Jane McKimuion. State Home Demon stration AgenT; will speak here, was announced today by Miss Cathleen Wilson, county demonstration agent. The prizes to the winners in the ‘•Bettei> Kitchen” campaign will be awarded by Mr. L. T. Hartsell and Mrs. McKimmon will have no part in the presentation of the prizes. She will speak as scheduled, howev er. and is expected to use “Food For the Family” as her subject. Miss Wil son announced the full program today as follows: Song. • Invocation by Rev. L. A. Thonuis. Solo —Mr. Alan Prindell. Talk by Mrs. McKimmon. Music. Awarding of Prizes by Mr. L. T. ' Hartsell. Dinner. The meeting will begin at 11 o’clock, and it is planned to serve the dinner at ' 12:30. i Miss Wilson and Miss Martha . Creighton, district Home Demonstra tion Agent, scored a number of the ? kitchens yesterday and will complete • this work by tomorrow. They will • determine the winners, and Mr. Hart-j , sell will present the prizes. This campaign is the first of its 3 ever held in this county and lias prov < ed very successful. Miss Wilson states. z Twenty-five women of the county en . tered the contest and they have made great improvements to their kitchens. 1 The contest lias aroused such inter i est. in fact, that Miss "Wilson and Miss Creighton are finding it difficult to determine the winners. The general public is invited to the • meeting Saturday,, and the farm peo l - pie are especially invited. Everyone s is asked to bring dinner as a picnic t dinner will he served after the rneet ing. t WEATHER REPORT. - * Cloudy tonight and Friday: proh v ably local rains in west; little change in temperature. s Miss Margaret Ritchie.

GOODMAN. * **************** The 801 l Weevil and the Best Means to Be Used to Destroy Him. Cotton is the most valuable fiber in the world and its production is neces sary if the greater part of the human race is to he clothed. The South supplies 80 per cent, of the cotton needed, and in normal times it constitutes 60 per cent, of our ex port trade. Europe, Asia, and Afri ca are almost without col ton at this time, and hut for the fact that our for eign trade is almost at a standstill there would he a cotton famine. A conservative estimate is that $2,- 000,000,000 are invested in the cottuii manufacturing business, and it is de? pendent upon the South’s ability to produce tliree-fourths of the raw ma terial used in thise undustry. . This country furnishes 80 per cent of the cotton: Egypt, about 13 per cent.; East India, 5 per cent.: and all other countries in which cottou can be produced 2 per cent. “All other cornu tries” includes Russia, China, Japan Peril' Greece, Turkey, Persia/ Mexico* The entire world outside of the Unit ed States, exclusive of Egypt and Inn dia, does not produce in a year as. much cotton as does the State of Tex as alone. India, with its immense population, will always consume more cotton than it can grow. The uncertainty as to rainVall in that country is the great drawback to increased cotton produe -tion. The staple is of a much lower grade than ours, and the average yield is only 70_pouuds to our 15)0 pounds. Egypt is a rainless country. No crops can he grown except by inti gat ion from the only source of water supply, the Nile. Her increase of cotton produc tion does not meet her increased de mands. Since 1873 Egypt’s increase in cotton yield has only been 430.006 hales, compared with jin increase of 7.00ft000 hales in our cotton belt dur ing the same period. There is at large in the cotton pro ducing states of the Union what has been appropriately styled “the bil lion dollar bandit” or "the billion dol lar bug.” His correct name is Anthon onions grandis, commonly called the boll weevil. This bandit operates for about a period of three months per year and in a comparatively small area of 4he United States, but since 15M>9 he litis (leaned up and destroyed more than 83.(IOO.(HI(MHH) worth of cotton. He started his devastating march in 1892 in this country, coming across the Mexican border into Texas, and today he ravages the entire cotton area of the United States. So far as \\a* can ascertain lie was horn near Vera Cruz in 1*43, and soon became so active and destructive in that country that the raising of cot ton was bandoned and has never to any extent been resumed. He then made his way to: Utiba. and in I*7l, his ravages were so great that the Cuban farmer gave up planting cotton and turned to other tliinjjfs. lie seems to he content to repro duce. and this he does effectively. A male and female holl weevil are cap able of reproducing four or more gen erations each summer, the length of existence being aim lit 60 days/ and the possible progeny of a single pair of weevils from the beginning to tin* eml of a season may amount, accord ing to the estimates of the Department of Agriculture, to no less than 12.775,- 100 descendants. And when a single weevil boring into a cotton boll can [destroy it the ravages of the pest can he understood. This “bandit* is a species of beetle I with a prominent snout, half the length of its body. It lias Showed antennae at its sides and a small mouth at its tip. it is about one fourth of an inch long. it hibernates in the wintertime in near-by woods or by concealing it self in the cotton fields. In the spring and throughout the fruiting season of cotton the eggs ate deposited by the female weevils in cavities formed by eating into the fruit of the plant. An egg hatches under normal conditions in about three (lavs, and the grul> im mediately begins to feed. In from 7 to 12 days the larva or grub passes in to its pupa stage, corresponding to the cocoon of hutterfies and moths. This stage lasts from three to' five (lays. Then the adult issues and in about five days begins the production of another generation. Climatic conditions cause considerable variation in the duration of the stages, hut, on an average, it requires from two to three* weeks for the \yeovil to'develop from the egg to the adult. Males and females are pro duced in about equal numbers. The lmaes feed upon the squares and bolls without moving until the food begins to deteriorate. Tho females refrain most of tho season from depositing in squares visited by other females, luit late in the fall, when all the fruit has become infested, several eggs may be placed in a single square or boll. As many as 1.1 larvae have been found in a single boll. The squares are greatly preferred as food and as places for depositing eggs. As long as a large supply of squares is present, the bolls are not damaged to any serions extent. The bolls, therefore, have a fair chance to develop as long as squares are being formed. The cotton weevil, so far as known, breeds in no plants other than cotton and the wild cotton of Arizona. At the present time, at least, the insect t 4s restricts! to the cotton plant as a means of development. It is proper to say in this connec tion that the United States Depart ment of Agriculture has been doing a great work in boll weevil control. That great expert. Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the Bureau of Entomology, and his valuable assistants in bis department and the experts in the Bureau of Plant Industry and from the extensioy ser vice have worked out a plan whereby cotton can be grown under boll weevil conditions, and this is the plan: ■Summary of Suggestion for Production of Cotton Under Bolle Weevil Condi tions.?’ , (This statement was prepared by a 'special committee and approved by the cotton council of the Departnlent I of Agriculture, and represents a sum- I'mary of the department’s attitude at j present.) j Under boll weevil conditions the j prime necessity is to mature the larg est possible crop of cotton in the short- est possible time. It is,'in a sense, a race between the farmer and the boll weevil. To accomplish this end the department rnfekes the following rec ommendation w: . Select for cotton planting well drained, fertile soils, of possible, only land capable of producing, with the use of a reasonable amount of ferti lizer, at least one-half bale per acre, iliould be planted to cotton. *2. Prepare a good seed-bed and fer tilize liberally. Whatever fertilizer is used should usually be distributed in die soil before planting. 2. Plant good seed of an improved, •arly ligaturing variety recommended for the locality -by the State experi ment station and the United States department of Agriculture. Plant as moil as danger from frost and cold is t »ast and file ground is sufficiently warm to insure rapid germination and rigorous growth. The planting of seed if a single variety, as nearly simul aneously jfs possible, by entire com munities and counties is strongly urg 'd. 4. The importance of securing and naintaining a full stand can not he >ver emphasized. The best width of ows and spacing of cotton in the row nay vary with soil and climatic coa litions. Rows should be only wide •nougli to allow proper cultivation and •otton in. the drill should uniformly be spaced closer than under non-boll weevil conditions, ('otton in thr<?o-foot ows, spaced two stalks to the hill, a me width apart, has given high yields n spacing tests in the Mississippi del a. This close spacing may prove un lesirahle under some conditions, hut ’.pacing S to 12 inches in the drill, vitli two stalks to the hill, will prob ably give best results throughout the, ntire region of several weevil infesta ion. To be sure of securing a full stand the liberal use of planting seed’ s advised. 7. Chop to the desired stand as moil as safe from cold or other ad erse conditions. Give early and fre jnent cultivation and continue same mtil fairly late in the season, or at cast two or three weeks beyond the isrral “laying-by” time. Great care ;hould bet taken, particularly in the 'utter part of the season, to cultivate shallow and not too close to the row. ’areless or deep cultivation at this pe ,’iod may mean disaster. Careful, late shallow cultivation is very strongly •eeom mended. (I. If weevils are numerous at the ime_colfton is just beginning to square lost roy all possible adult weevils, eith r by hand picking or poisoning, as may be most practicable. It is proba ble that only at this stage the molasses ml calcium arsenate mixture can be used effectively. When squaring be gins. especially if not equipped to poi am by dusting, pick Aim! destroy all ■mnettired squares from the ground Mid the stalk once every week or 10 days for a period of about SO days. Then, if weevils are still numerous or ’s much as 10 to 17 per cent, of squares* are infested and other conditions war ant. apply the calcium arsenate dry lust poison. In making applications )f the dust poison always carefully fol ow the directions of the United States Department of Agriculture and the col lege’of agriculture of your own State. 7. Pick cotton in the fall as rapidly ■is possible, and immediately kill till •otton stalks, preferably by cutting md plowing under. The object is to lestroy the food supply and breeding •>laees of the weevil before the hiberna tion period. To be effective before tin* first killing frost. A very light infestation or even practical inimuni y from weevil damage until late in the* following season, could he insured if all cotton growers in entire com munities or counties would, when eon litions permit, co-operate to destroy •ill cotton stalks at least two or tlirpe weeks before frost. 5. Sinctf the weevil will hibernate successfully not only in woodland hut iii any trash or rubbish, it is very good practice to burn over or clean up any such situations around tin* cotton fields during tin* winter, especially the fence rows, terraces, ditch hanks, and ra vines. ROTARY MEETING Discussion of Athletic Feld for High School Chief Subject Before Weekly Meeting of the Club. Discussion of several matters of gen eral interest and announcements of matters that pertain more particularly to the club members, were the most important matters before the Rotary Club at its weekly meeting at tin* Y yesterday. Two* solos by Alan —D. Priiulell. with piano accompaniment by Miss Nell* Herring were added fea tures. Much applause greeted the announce ment by Bill Caswell, chairman of the Roys’ Work Committee, that one young man being sent to college this year by members of the club made 90 on tlvree subjects in April and there fore made the honor roll. President Rankin asked if the com mittee appointed to investigate the matter of an athletic field for the High School had a report to make and was informed'that the committee has been at work securing (lata on costs and location, etc., and would be ready to report in the near future. Bill FloWe, member <vf the committee, asked if the club members had any suggestions to offer as to how the money for the field could he best raised, and this question brought a fuller discussion of the mat ter. It is probable, it was brought out at the meeting, that au architect who is to assist in laying off the school yard, will he asked to lay off the ath letic fieldf By the time the archi tect can ye port, it was stated, data as to the cost of the field will also he completed. President Rankin asked the commit tee members to keep at work-on the project and if possible, be able to make a report in the near future as to the best means of' securing the money for the construction of the field. On next Tufesday evening, May 29th, the Salisbury Rotarinns will be the guests of/the local club. The Salis bury-club defeated the Concord, club in an attendance content held several months ago. and as a result of being defeated in the contest, the local club will have the honor of entertaining the Salisbury club. I *■ Approximately eight and a half mil lion are included among the 'wage workers in the United-States. LOCAL MENTION Cotton on the local market is quot ted today at 20 cents per pound; cot ton seed at 00 cents per bushel. Marriage license was issued yester day by Register of Deeds Elliott to Chestey Misenheiuier, of thi| county, and Eiila tyley, of Kannapolis. Just two more important college baseball games 'are to be played in this state. The first is scheduled'to lie played today between Wake Forest ami-Carolina and the second on June 7tli at Durham lietweon Carolina’ and Trinity. Only two jaew cases of measles were reported to the county health de partment yesterday afternoon and last night. No other cases of diseases of any kind have been reported to the department. during the past several days. ** Six cases were called for trial in recorder's court yesterday and five of them were tried. The five defendants paid fines totalling SBO. the largest be ing S7O paid by a man charged with operating a* car while intoxicated. The other case was continued until Fri da v. “I , » Chief Talbirt and Patrolman Roach, who spent Tuesday and yesterday in Statesville at Federal Couft, have to go hack Friday. They were wanted in a case charging a Cpncord man with stealing an auto, hut the case has not been called and will not be called un til Friday. Mr. Frank Mills and family moved back to their home on North Spring street yesterday afternoon. The for mer home of Mr. Mills was badly dam aged b.v fire several weeks ago ynd when the house was repaired many important changes were made to it. each milling to the convenience and at tractiveness of the structure. Lee Meadows, who began his pro fessional*l>asehall career here, has been traded to Pittsburgh for Charles Glaz ner. The Phillies also sent John Raw lings to Pittsburgh for r jjjemey. The trade is expected to strengthen both teams. Meadows is considered one of the best” pitchers in the majors, hut so far this season has not struck his win ning stride. Reports from various .parts qf the county today state that creeks* and rivers are running high as a result of this week's rains. Persons coming to Concord Monday brought reports of high waters in the creeks and riv ers and 'the rains of yesterday and to day have carried the waters still higher. A majority of the reams are carrying their water off’, however, and little damage has been done. A number of Concord Sliriners went to Gastonia today to attend the big ceremonial of Oasis Temple. Fully .7.01)0 Sliriners were expected in Gas tonia today for the event, and the day promised, to be a very interesting one for those in attendance. Among the Concord Sliriners who went to Gas tonia were J. F. Day vault, J. W. Pike, Charlie Foil. Archie Pounds, Joe Green. Charles Davis and R. M. Mc- Kimmie. *■**. Final examinations have started in the public schools of Concord, prepar atory to the closing of the schools next week. Students of the high school who averaged 90 or more on a sub ject do not have to take the examina tion on the subject, but in the other schools everyone is required to take the final tests. Actual recitation work has been completed, and the exams are the only things that stand l>e twoen the students and the close of the schools. Officers of the county health depart ment are now perfecting plans for the typhoid fever campaign which will be conducted in this county this sum mer. The campaign has already been started in Kannapolis,, but it will not he undertaken throughout the county until the last of June or the first of July, the health officials being, ailx ious for the farm people to patch up with their work before starting the campaign. The serum*will be ,given free of charge this year as it has in 'lhe past several years. Union Means street and Corbin street, was washed with a large hose this morning and much of the mud that collected there yesterday and Tuesday was washed off. The dirt was deposited on the streets by wagons which are carrying it to va rious parts of the city, and the rains of yesterday and last night turned the dirt into mud. The mud could be mov ed only with a strong water supply, and for this reason one of the hose from; the fire department was used in washing the street. x OpiKises Federal _ Trade Commission. Washington. May 23.—The Federal trade commission, under the present law, is "always an adversary to busi ness.’’ the American Wholesale Groc ers' Association in annual convention here, was told today by Edgar \\ at kins, of Atlanta, its general counsel.
