CROP NOTES '
All (Tops Except Cotton. Are Making
Favorable Progress in the State.
Raleigh. X. C.. Sept. 10. —Frank Par
ker. statistician in the crop reporting ser
vice of the Department of Agriculture, to
day made public his regular semi-mouth
ly “crop notes,” giving the conditions of
various crops grown in North Carolina
according to information obtained by the
crop reporting service.
•‘The general state situation is favor
able for tilt 1 crops, except cotton,” he
said in summarizing the “crop notes.”
“The crops have improved wonder
fully in the last mouth. Early matur
ing is common. The mrtre favorable
areas are in the northern and westei*n
districts.”
Following are Air. Parker's “crop
notes.”
“Corn: The corn crop is maturing
rapidly. Fodder pulling is progressing
in many counties. The stalks are gen
erally smaller than usual, but the ears
are of £ood size. The crop is better
than the average.
"Small grain : In the main small grain
area of the state the summer was so dry
that there was little fallow land to be
found -in August, except in the northern
comities. Preparation for planting siyall
grain is late. There is a chance of a
slight increase in the acreage, due to
very good yields this year.
"Cotton: The boll weevil has by far
been the most destructive during the
past few weeks in the history of North
Carolina. There is no late crop, and in
very few sections any August crop south
of Raleigh. The boll weevil has been at
tacking the July bolls heavily in this
section. Serious ravages of the weevil
are being reported from sill sections.
“Hay : The hay acreage probably will
not equal last year's crop, since the sea
son's last year were unusually good for
that crop. The acreage and condition,
however, are above the average this
year.
“Tobacco: Except in certain eastern
wet areas, the tobacco crop is good. Hous
ing >s progressing rapidly and the market
ing is now well under way, but slower
than last year. The weather in Septem
ber has somewhat interfered with the
housing and curing of the crop, but not
as much as was experienced in August
in the eastern counties.
“Fruit: The fruit crop has gradual
ly retrograded until peaches are not
more than 15 per cent, and apples may
not be more than one-fourth crop.
“Miscellaneous: The fall truck crops
are generally good. The general pros-*
pect for most crops are above the aver
age. The farmers' attitude is good with
the usual pessimism largely lacking.
Things in North Carolina are gcnerally
good.”
Speaking of agricultural organizations,
Air. Farker said. “The Co-operative Alar
ket Associations are active, in spite of
outside criticisms, and seem to have
prospects for a good year. There is act
ive interest in the county fairs, with more
than the usual attention being given
them.”
Much Cotton Wilt This Year.
Raleigh. N. (\. Sept. 19. —Cotton
wilt, a disease that lias been present in
the cotton sections of State for a
number of years, is now more prevalent
than on the lighter soils, finds G. *AV.<
Fant. extension specialist in plant
diseases for the State College and De
partment of Agriculture. Air. Fant says
that this disease is caused by a parasi
tic mold growth .which lives in the soil
and cannot be eliminated by crop rota
tion. About the only way to control it
is to use wilt resistant cotton.
Government plant breeders have de
veloped a wilt resistant variety of cot
ton that has since been rebred to meet
bool weevil .conditions, and demonstra
tions made bv county agents working
with Air. Fant have shown that this
resistant cotton will make good yields
when compared "to other varieties, and
has the added advantage that it will
grow on wilt infested land
“ Cotton wilt is distinguished by cer
tain symptoms appearing in the fields.”
says Air. Fant. .“Spots appear varying
iu* size from a few feet to an acre or
more whero the cotton dies or becomes
stunted in mid-summer. If one of these
dwarfed planet is pulled up and the
lower portion of the stem is split, a
browning or blackening of the Interior
wHI be found. This is a most, charac
teristic symptom and distinguishes the
wilt from rust or potash hunger, in
which case the plant merely shed a por
tion of its leaves.”
Air. Fant states that, seeds do not
carry the wilt infestatiofl but Tlptt the
disease will live over in the soil for,from
eight to\ten'years. Asnugiber of;«grO\vet-s
in the State are f . now grbxYing the varie
ties that are wilt resistant and these are
' being carefully checked by the depai t
ment of plant diseases at the college.
' Those who want information as to how
: such seed may be secured for' another
year should write Air. Fant at the eol
-1 i e ge for information on the matter.

THE CONCORD TIMES
NEWS OF THE CHURCHES
The Kerr Street Revival.
> There was a large congregation pres
ent Wednesday night even though it did
! rain and God was there to His
1 people. It seems that God was in ev
ery song and every prayer. Air. Clark
and Aliss Allman sang a beautiful duet
entitled ‘Tie Prayer.” The preacher
‘ spoke from Proverbs 6:IG. These six
i things doth the Lord hate. Ilis subject
i was "What Keeps lls From God.” He
said in part: ,
Every child of God should enjoy the
freedom of the Christian religion. But
there are things that keep us from God.
First. One is the /lack of a frank
confession of our sins. We should be
honest with ourselves, honest with one
another and honest with God. Some peo
ple try to cover up tlieir sins instead of
confessing them to the world and God.
Second. Another is the hurry of life.
We don’t take time to think. We hard
ly take time to pray. Take time to be
holy; speak oft with thy Lord .
Thrid. Then another thing that keeps
us from God is irregularity of spiritual
nourishment. We read God's word too
little. We attend God’s house too sel
dom. AYe need to commune with God.
Fourth. Then the attraction of world
liness. Hliis is a beautiful world and
God wants us to be happy in it. It is all
right to be in the world, but it is not all
right to have the world in us.
Fifth. Still another is grieving the
Spirit. The Holy Spirit comes to us
over and over again and calls us to a
higher and nobler life and we do not try
to respond.
Sixth. The sixtli thing is deliberate
disobedience. Let us confess our wrongs
so that we may have influence for God.
Service tonight at 7:30. -Come.

Choir Practice Tonight.
Prof. Doyle will meet with the Central
Methodist Church choir for rehearsal this
evening at 7:30 at the churcbr He de
sires all those who have been singing in
the choir to be present.
The evening services of the church
will be held at 7 :M0 o'clock hereafter.
AV. A. JENKINS. Pastor.
Kerr Street Baptist Revival.
The revival started in reality Tuesday
night. God just came down in such pow
er that the devil was driven away. There
was a noise of a mighty rushing wind
that filled the house and it carried the
mind back in Pentecost. God's power
was in the singing in such away that
it seemed that everyone present was
moved. The junior choir did some tine
singing and it seemed that God moved
upon the whole congregation in song.
There was a larger congregation present
to greet the singers and preacher Tues
day night. The preacher spoke from
Alntthow 27:4(5. and made a strong ap
peal to those who had turned their back
on God. He said in part:
The world has a very ivoor opinion of
a quitter. Paul would not take Alark
with him on his second missionary tour
lxitause Alark turned back on the first
tour. But all lqen admire a sticker or
the one who is faithful. AA'hy have you
turned back? AYhat <1 id God do to you
to make you mad? Listen to the text.
"AA'hy hast thou forsaken me?”
First. Some turn :iway because things
don't go just as thoy think they should
in the church. Jesus built the church.
He said “upon this rook 1 build Aly
church, and the gates of hell not
prevail against it.” But things don't go
just as Jesus would have them go at all
times.
Second. Then some turn away be
cause other professed Christians don't
treat them as they think they should.
Look how the professed Christians treat
ed Jesus; even His disciples forsook
him and fled.
Third. Some turn away because of
temptation. Look at Jesus ill tho wil
derness. Listen : “1 am that God's word
says that He will not suffer us to be
tempted more than we are able to bear.”
Fourth. Some turn away because of
persecutions. They persecuted Jesus and
He said that they would persecute us.
Fifth. Then a large number turn
away because of bad companions, keeping
bad company. Shun evil companions, bad
language disdain; God's name held iu
reverence; nor take it in vain.
Sixth. Then some turn away because
of the allurements of the world.
.Service tonight at 7:30. Come and
worship with us. PASTOR.

30 CENT COTTON REALTY AS
STAPLE ADDS $6 A BALE
New York Exchange Sees October Con
tracts Rise to 30.30. December 29.90.
New York, Sept. 19.—Thirty-cent cot
ton became a reality today when October
contracts on the cotton exchange crossed
that level and went 30 points farther,
or to 30.30, before the excited advance
and covering .movement was checked by
active realizing sales.
December contracts followed with sales
at 29.90, these prices representing net
gains of 130 points or about .$0 per
bale.
Slight setbacks near the close left the
market finally very\ nervous but general
ly strong, at net advances on active po
sition of 05 to 103 points.
Today’s violent upturn to new high
levels for the season marked the culmi
nation of a strong bull movement which
lias been almost continuous since the
end-July government report made it
plain to the cotton world that the sup
ply of the fleecy staple thisf year would
fall considerably short of earlier esti
mates.
It stimulated a demand from Ameri
can and foreign mill interests that read
ily absorbed the weight of first new crop
receipts, in connection with Jhe specu
lative buying that ensued, and started
an advance that has added fully nine
cents a pound, or .$45 per bale, to the
value of the south’s crop.
The immediate cause' of today’s sensa
tional rise was a report><jf floods in'
northern Texas and Oklahoma, together
with predictions for cooler weather and
a higher basis in the southwest, which
seemed to forecast an even greater re
duction in the crop promise, besides iiir
juring the grade.
JULY FREIGHT TRAFFIC
THIS YEAR WAS HEAVY
II Was Exceeded Only by July in 1918
and 1920, and Then by Only Slight
Margin.
Washington. S<ept. 19.—Freight traf
fic oil American railroads in July this
year was the largest in history for that
month with the exception of 1918 and
1920.
Statistics prepared by the bureau of
railway economics show the movement,
measured in net ton miles, was 38.513,- \
283,000. This figure was exceeded in i
July, 1920. by nearly 5 per cent, and in ]
1918 by about 2“ per cent. (
Compared with last July, when the 1
shopmen’s strike was on, the month ]
showed increased traffic of 42 per cent. (
In the southern district figures were 30 1
per cent, higher. The average load per j
car also was the highest for any July i
since 1917. being 28 1-2 tons.
Loading of revenue freight for the
week ending September Bth was 928.-
858 cars, an increase of 105.611 over the
same period in 1922, according to the
American Railway {Association. The
total, however, was less than for the
previous week, owing to labor day and
the suspension of work in the anthracite
fields.
JURIES CANNOT RETURN
, COMPROMISE VERDICTS
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision in
Case From the County of Nash.
Raleigh, Sept. 19.—Juries cannot re
turn compromise verdicts, Supreme Court
opinion says this afternoon and the Nash
county triers who sought to compromise
disputed account will have to try it over.
The ease docketed Batholomew versus
Parrish was an action of a merchant to
collect from S. L. Parrish a store ac
count made by Spencer Parrish. The
merchant declared that Parrish gave his
tenant care blanche while the defendant
says he limited the tenant to-SIOO. The
merchant alleged an indebtedness of
$366.51 and the jury $283,25
writing on the verdict “compromise.”
Judge Kerr let it stand.
Justice Clarkson writing the law says
the verdict was improper since it did
not pretend to speak the truth, the mean
ing of a verdict. It might have been
SIOO or the $366. It might have re
turned the verdict that it did. but when
it wrote into the verdict “compromise,’’
it published the impropriety of such a
finding. The case goes back.
Flies at Rate of 266 Miles an Hour.
Mitchell Field. S. D.. Sept. IS.—
Lieut. “Al" Williams, navy pilot, today
established two electrically timed air
speed records over the measured one
kilometer course at Curtis field. He
averaged 247 1-2 miles an hour in four
trips over the course, and on one flight,
aided by a brisk wind from behind, he
reached the speed of 266 miles an hour.
Roth records were accepted by the navy
department as authentic.
