WKDNKSDAY. JI NK 1!«-7 New Wheat Pest Found In State Itaieigh. June 1 —Though •'.c wheat j»iui worm has ii k:!«»\vii i!i lln* in-ijfHl'orinjr state .f Virginia since 18 !8. il has just made il> appearance in Xori h Carolina. being found recently in a wheat field in Stanly county hy county agent >. H. Phillips. "This pest may cause com plete destruction of a wheat crop." says C. H. Brannon, ex tension entomologist at State ''ollege. Its damage may he detected at a glance hy the larg • number of fallen plants. Injury is done hv a small black winged inset which resembles the dying ant. The tly lays its eggs above the second or third joint of the wheat during the month of May when the wheat is approaching maturity. The eggs hatch into small lar vae which feed in the walls of the plant and do not move above the point of infestation. A gall is formed by the injury and this reduces the circulation of the plant causing it to bend over or fall so that the binder will pass over the grain, thus causing total loss." The joint worm may be con trolled. however, by plowing under wheat stubble after harvest during the summer or early fall. The worm attacks only the wheat so that rye. barley, or buckwheat may be substituted with safety. Where the stubble is plowed under early, as should be done, all volunteer plants must lie kept destroyed by disking >r liar rowing. If clover or grasses for forage are grown in the wheat, plowing under the stub ble ought not to be followed except in the niost seven cases of infestation. The worm passes the winter in the stem of the wheat either in the stub ble left in the field or in the haystacks. Mr. Brannon states that the college workers would iike to have specimens of this insect and those having such injury would confer a favor on the entomology workers by sending in specimens found in their fields.

THE DANBCRY RLPORTI.R PETITION FILED REMOVETRAINS Receivers of Atlantic and Yad kin I'lit Matter Before Com mission. Raleigh, June IS.-—Receivers for l hi- Atlantic an.l Yadkin Railway Company, operating between Mount Airy a:il San ford, today applied to the Cor jporation Commission for au thority to remove two trains land close six stations along the line. The lack of sufficient busi ness to justify further opera tions was assigned as the rea son for the petition. The re ceivers desire to close the sta tions at Cummock, Mount 1 Vernon Springs, Belews Creek, Dalton and Ararat. Bus traffic and private mo -1 tor transportation have virtu-! j ally wiped out passenger busi-; 1 ness on the A. and Y. between Mount Airy and Sanford, the ! petition declared, reporting, that the revenue last year was , about half the cost of operat j ing the four trains that run dailv between the two towns. | ! Credit A Real Asset. The greatest of your assets, business or personal, is your credit, yet you cannot lock it in a vault nor insure it against loss. It is a part of you. You created it ami you may de stroy it. Your credit is something apart from what you are Worth in money. Your prop erty statement does not create your credit: it merely settles the question of "how much." Honor and truthfulness are two cornerstones of credit. They mark you as a reliable man: one who may safely be trusted with that which is another's. That is the essence of credit. Individual capacity is an im portant factor in deciding your credit. Many honest, reliabl" men iack capacity. The cap able man grasps opportunities; he forges ahead. Here, then, is your credit. Your honor, your word, vour capacity—these three make it. Your holding of this world's goods merely measures it. You can destroy it. Out obligation merely disregard ed ; one statement proved false, and the fabric crumples. Built in a lifetime, it may vanish in a day. The most valuable of your assets, it is yours only so , long as you carefully conserve j it.—(Alexander Hamliton In- ( stitute.)

C. { Demanding Extra Session Alllifiigli I'resident C«»'ilidg" is far away in the black hill ol S.iut!. Dakota, he canno e.-.ca| c Ihe persistent clanu r for an extra .-ession of Con gress. The demand for pronip' action on the part of Congress for I la- relief of the Mississip pi tlood sufferers will not down. The Manufacturers Record keeps up the tight. In its cur rent issue that publication c.ar j ries a vigorous editorial on its front page in which it tells the President that "no help adequate to the situation i possible, except through an immediate session of Congress and an appropriation, whether it be $100,000,000 or $:>00,000 - ! 000, to be expended for immeu i iate relief." Speaking for 000,000 people! j who have lost all that they possess in this unprecedented American disaster, The Record says "these people ask not for charity." and that "it is an insult to them to offer them charity when they have a ! right to demand of the Feder |al Government on every moral 'ground that relief which the i Red Cross cannot give and which all the banks and inter mediate credit organizations cannot possibly furnish." In answer to the objector - who say that this is not the business of Congress, but o; the American Red Cross. The Record says: "Through the course of a hundred years Con gress has from time to time appropriated money for the re li"i >t sufferers by tloods. earthquake and tire. It also appropriated enormous sum for the relief of suffering in Russia and in Europe geii erall> during the war period. Precedents without limit, therefore, give justification for the Constitutional right to make such appropriations i>, any time of great emergency." In the light of these pre cedents, The Record once more appeals "in the name of hum anity. it the name of suffering men, women and children, for, the sake of the living and to prevent the death of thous ands, to President Coolidge to call an immediate session of Congress."—Winston Journal.
