NOTHING TO FEAR FROM
j COTTON HOPPER OR FLEA
it But Farmers Must Be on the Lock
out for the 801 l Weevil.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
| Raleigh, .Tune 28.—North Carolina
'cotton growers 'have nothing to fear
. from ‘’hoppers” or the “cotton flea
. which in the last few days has been
reported as doing very extensive dam
age to the Texas crop, but they must
continue to be on the lookout for
1 their old enemy, the boll weevil, ac- j
J cording to R W. entomologist i
l for the State department of agricul-1
f ture.
The “hopper” or “flea” is so called
because of its means of locomotion, i
in that it hops or jumps about. It is
: a sucking insect, and attacks t*ae cot
ton principally in the buds, and in
jures the young squares, either caus
ing them to fall before coming to
a bloom, or else making them incap-1
ab’e of bearing a boll of cotton. It ’
does not develop in the squares, how
ever. as dees the boll weevil. The 1
hopper is a periodical pest and de- 1
velops mostly in connection with cer
tain weeds or plants. Entomologists !
of the State department of agricul-1
Jure have been searching for the “hop
per” in North Carolina, but so far,
have not found a single trace of it
in the- state, although it has been
i common in South Carolina, and es
pecially Texas, for some time.
But when it comes to boll weevils,
the situation is far different, accord
ing to Mr. Lei by, for while few have
been reported to date, this is to be
expected because of the lateness of
the season. And whether or not the
cotton crop in this state will suffer
from the depredations of the weevil
now depends almost entirely upon
climatic conditions through July and
August.
The first weevil found this season
was on a farm near the Aberdeen
boll weevil laboratory on June 17th.
This was just seventeen days later
than the first weevil was found a
year ago. And because of the late
ness of the season, indications are
that there will not be as many weev
ils as last season. _ The fact, too,
tiiat last wiuter was rather more
severe than usual also tends to in
dicate that there will be fewer weev
ils. GWrYutioox made at toe Aber
deen laboratory showed that out of
a number of weevils taken into win
ter quarters, winter before last, about
one per cent, survived. Last win
ter, out of a similar number taken
in a like manner, less than one per
cent, survived.
But the final outcome is up to the
weatherman, Mr. Leiby says. If the
weather remains hot and dry through
July and August, the Nuances are
that the boll weevils will do very
little damage, and that the crop loss
from the weevils' will not amount to
more than 3 per cent. However, if
these months are damp and warm,
conditions will be most favorable for
the development of the weevils, and
the damage may mount as high as 10
or 15 per cent.
Contrary to general belief, the sea
son thus far * has been favorable to
the weevils, because the cotton has
not yet advanced far enough to per
mit the weevils to get busy, because
the buds must first appear before
the weevils can lay their eggs in the
squares or bolls. But if the weath
er is dry and hot, this heat will cook
the grubs before they can do any
damage, but if it is rainy and damp,
the grubs will develop and do much
damage.
So now it all depends upon the
weather.
Say Cotton Hopper Bad as 801 l
1 Weevil.
Atlanta, Ga., June 26. —Serious
damage is resulting to the cotton
crop in Georgia as a result of the
ravages of the Texas cotton flea, or
“cotton hopper,” and unless vigor
ous remedial action is taken, the
menace to the crop will be as great
as that of the boll weevil, the State
Board of Entomology announced
here.
The hopper has been reported in
50 counties, the announcement 6aid.
The worst damage has resulted m
North Georgia counties.
Little Rock, Ark., June 26. —
Presence of the destructive cotton
hopper in Drew and Greene counties
>has been reported by citizens, with
damage in the latter section appar
ently local. Ravages of the pest in

! Two Hundred Known,
By ( A > )—Automobile, railroad, air

i kicular traffic killed 14217 persons
and injured 6,575 in eleven southern
states during the period from Janu
ary 1, 1026, up to and including yes
terday, a survey conducted by the
Associated Press revealed today,
j The grand total of traffic casual
ties during the all but two days left
in the six months period, was ar
! rived through a consolidation of
traffic survey conducted weekly by the
Associated Press through co-operation
! of member papers in the area covered.
There were a number of outstand
ing accidents in all traffic. The col
, lision of two vessels in the Mississippi
River channel several months ago
claimed upward of n score of lives,
while train crashes in various sec
tions of the South of more or less
importance killed equally as many.
Estimates place the number of
grade crossing fatalities in the eleven
states at fifty, while airplane acci
dents at various commercial, military
and naval fields claimed a like num
ber. Drivers of horsedrawn vehicles
were comparatively few. The over
a dozen killed were the result of col
lisions with automobiles. Others
killed were in the now ordinary au
tomobile erases.
There more persons killed
and injured during the mouth of Jan
uary than any other of the periods
included, with 233 deaths and 1,271
persons injured. The January to- 1
tal is accounted for in the treacher
ous condition of paved roads and
highways during the winter, from
snow and rain. As the w’eather im
proved motorists began taking roads <
in greater number and a correspond- *
increase in tK* number of yc<*l- J
dents was noted after February and l
March.
Florida led all southern states in '
the number of persons killed, with 1
205. Os that total 120 were killed
during the first three months while
the winter season was in progress. <
Florida also led in the number of
persons injured, with 1,284, of which 1
number 666 were injured during the
first quarter of the year. North i
Carolina was second in the number
of persons killed with an even 200,
while Georgia was second in the num

Rome Reports That 2,000
Houses in the Island of
Rhodes Were Razed
During the Tremors, j
London, June ‘ 28.—Meager
details were availab’e today regard
ing casualties in n severe earthquake
or a series of quakes which shook the
Mediterranean countries Saturday
evening.
J» view of the reports of the col
lapse of thousands of buildings, -it
would seem probable that casualties
are numerous.
Advices from Rome are that 2.000
houses in the island of Rhodes in
the Aegean were razed, and that the
villages of Arkhangelo. Arbima,
akkia and Monolithi suffered severe
ly.
The center of the disturbance vi»s
in or near the Cyclades or Crete. The
shocks are thought possibly to have
been due to the sudden activity of a
voneano on the Greek island of San
tonin. The archeological museum
at Cnndia, Crete, containing mafty
antiquities was wrecked.
At Athens communications appar
ently were broken by the shocks.
The quake shook northern Egypt
severely, causing alarm at Alex
andria, Port Said, Cairo and Ismalfa.
Some advices are that many build
ings were thrown, while others had
their walls cracked. Few casual
ties have been reported from these
places. There were several fatali
ties in the Egyptian countryside.
Palestine including Jerusalem, was
shaken, but no damage or casualties
have been reported. Late reports
from Rome say 2,000 homes collapsed
in four villages of the province p of
Foggiga. Nothing was said in the
dispatch aoout casualties. Malta
*£ems to have escaped with harm-
bocks, which, however, voffipd'
great alarm among the inhabitants.
In the museum at Candia, an an
cient city, capital of the island of
Crete, the antiquities damaged in

Arthur Evans at Omosus, ancient
capital of Greece, and celebrated in
legends of Zeus, Mios, Daedelus and

COTTON MILLS ON
FIRM FOUNDATION
Overproduction Difficulties Can Be
Overcome, Says Association Head.
Asheville, June 25.—Textile manu
facturing and related industries in
North Carolina are operating on a
basically firm foundation, and they
are capable of unlimited development.
Such was the declaration made to
night by J. M. Game well, Lexington,
N. C., acting president of the North
Carolina Cotton Manufacturers’ As
sociation, which is in convention at
Grove Park Inn.
”A slight over-production some time
ago,” said Mr. Gamewell, “tempo
rarily threatened to jar the cotton in
dustry from its place of prosperity
and importance in North Carolina.
But the industry is basically sound,
and now it is again coming into its
own.
“The solution to over-production
difficulties and similar temporary
evils is co-operation in production and
marketing on the part of the manu
facturers and co-operation on the part
of the growers of cotton. The key
note of, our convention here this year
is co-operation/’
According to Mr. Gamewell and C.
G. Hill, Winston-Salem, vice presi
dent of the association, there is prac
tically no limit to the extent to which
the cotton industry may develop in
North Carolina. '
' The state is ideally located for
taking the lead in the world of cot
ton enterprises, they said. It is it
self in a productive cotton region, and
is a key-state to the cotton belt of
the rest of the United States.
It has enough transportation facil
ities, both water and rail, and enough
natural resources and access to nat
ural resources of other sections to
make it a manufacturing center, it
was declared.

Fugitive.
Houston, Tex., 27. —The where
abouts of Charles Ponzi. fugitive
swindler, reported last night to have
slipped through Houston and to
have sailed for South America, re
mained a mystery tonight.
The erstwhile “financial wizard,”
who failed to appear last May in Su

after a dock worker yesterday told
Sheriff T. A- Binford that a man he
believed to resemble Ponzi had been

night that Ponzi might be en route to
South America to escape the juris
diction of both Massachusetts and
Florida authorities.
Sheriff Binford referred inquires
to his deputy, George J. Lacy, who
insisted he knew’ nothing of Ponzi’s
presence in Houston at any time.

Christ upon the outlook of today.
“If Christ had been here during
the recent general strike.” he said,
“it is certain he would have been
excluded from the British Gazette
(The government organ during the
strike). Churchill's blue pencil would
certainly have cut right through the
Sermon on the Mount.
“The gospels of the twenty-first
century would have been compiled
not from tbe recollections of his
disciples, but from notes taken by
the police who attended his address.
“Christ, too. would in all prob
ability have supported the arch
bishop's appeal for conciliation in
stead of force in dealing with the
strike, and would therefore have
been excluded from the liberal show
cabinet.”
