The North-Carolina Sunday Sehool Association is co-operative effort of .Sunday ehool workers of the evangelical denominations to extend and improve Sunday School work in Xorth Carolina. 2. It is'the only organization in the State which aims to help all departments of every Sunday School, and to help or ganize denominational Sunday Sehool is every community that has no Sunday School. 3. The organization stands for those interests common to all Sunday School workers. It strives to help by tvay of suggestion, not by authority, it helps many; it hinders none. 4. Seventy-one of the one hundred counties in the State ore now organized into Cofinty Sunday School Associations. In the Convention year, from April 1, 1922. to March 31, 1923, ..7 county con ventions were held. In these conventions 1,264 Sunday Schools were represented by 16.500 people. Among those attend ing were 455 preachers, 572 superintend ents, 3,146 teachers. 5. During the convention year township conventions were held, which was an increase of .nearly one hundred per cent., as only 102 were held the pre vious year. 6. Two counties—Rowan and Cabar rus—have covered one hundred per cent, of the “ County Aims.” Randolph Coun ty has covered ninety per cent, of the “Aims"; Vance, eighty per cent.; Ala mance and Guilford fifty-five per cent.; Wayne, fifty per cent. 7. As evidence of the need of «tliis co operative work, only about one in three of the white population of the State is enrolled in Sunday Schools, and the ac tual attendance is less than one in four. 1 New Ladies’ Store to Open Here.

Another wit ness stated on the stand that he had measured the width of the road at that place, and that it is thirty-two feet Wide. Several members of the picnic party also, testified that the truck had allowed almost the whole width of the road for the automobile to imss, and that the de fendant was driving at an excessive speed when his ear side-swiped the. truck, breaking the legs of a numbeiv of persons on the truck and injuring others.

'P WEEVIL IS BfilXG CONTROLLER \ BY CALCIUM ARSENATE POISON Field Experiments Show That When This Preparation is Dusted en Cotton. • Puncturing of Sguares is Checked. j Aberdeen. Aug. G.—Although the i weevils have become increasingly nmn- 1 erous throughout the southern counties of the F state during the past week, they are being held under the control by night applications of dry calcium arsenate by j the larger cotton farmers who are u-dng this method of combating them, state Dr. R. W. Leiby, wfio is in charge of the State College and experiment station boll weevil, laboratory .here. The entomologists predicted a heavy rise in the'infestation of cotton fields to I take place during the latter half of July jvhieh was based on their laboratory ! studies of the development of the weevil. The infestation mounted to the point, where 10 per cent, of the sbuares were punctured within a few days, and when this point was reached, the poisoning | of the cotton’plants was begun by the larger cotton growers who had prepared to fight the weevil according to the meth ods approved by federal and state ento mologists. Study of- 801 l Weevil. Extensive studies of the habits of t}ie weevil are being conducted here in the laboratory, in connection . with tin control experiments which are being ear- j vied out on several cotton plantations in Hoke. Mooi*Vand Scotland counties. On the plantation of R. F. Stawart in Hoke , county the Cotton has already been dust ed twice with calcium arsenate, the It) per cent, dusting point having been reached on July 24. In one IG-aere field on ' this plantation, one-half of the | field was dusted on the night of July 25 and again on July. 30. Six pounds of poison were used in each application. , On August Ist 2.000 sguares wore ex- j amined in each half of the field to as certain the degree of infestation. That j part of the field which had been poisoned twice showed nine per cent, of the j squares punctured, while the other part of the field which was not poisoned showed an increase of from 10 per cent, on July 24 to 20 per cent, ou August Ist. ‘‘This saving of 17 per cent, of the j squares I consider more than satisfac tory,” says Mr. Stewart, ’‘and we will j surely beat the weevil this year. Os j course, wo are going to put on two or three more applications, and it will cost me about seven dollars an acre, but 1 am now convinced that dusting will give us a good return on our investment and that by dusting we can make a bale to the acre in spite of the weevil.” Mr. Stewart reports that night dusting is not as big a ‘job as he thought it was. He has picked certain men to do the j night dusing work who. do not work I during the day. These workers once ao-1 customed to the night dusting prefer it ! to day work. Good Results Secured. Similar results are being secured on ( other plantations, stated Doctor Leiby. \ On the 200-acre cotton plantation of | Carl Buchanan extensive examination of J the squares on July 24 showed that eight per cent, of the squares in one ! field were found punctured. One-half j of the field was dusted on the night of I July 2S. using .seven pounds of calcium' igt®ryi !*♦••; —• *ns ’-' l^' The Kitchen Cabinet of Day. All modern convcn:-ii' < ~ in price.
