'This article pertains to North Caro lina only.' In this Btatc the boll weevil has now spread throughout the cotton area, but great variation is to be ex pected in its injuries in 1923. - Use a map. Draw a line from Hick ory in Catawba county to Salisbury in Rowan, across to Raleigh in Wake, to Washington and Belhaven in Beaufort and then straight through' Hyde coun ty to the coast All the area north of this line was first invaded by boll wee vil: izt 1922 and is dtie 'for only light Injury in 1923. The injury will be heavier in the southern part-ef the area, near the line, and in the east, but the whole region north of the line is not due to "receive full normal-injury until 1924. This section there fore has one more chance to make a full cotton crop in 1923 with' only light interference by the weevil. " In all this northern region where injury will be light, the cotton farmers should em ' ploy the best cultural methods of growing aotton, as .advocated by the division of, agronomy, of the North Carolina "experiment station, for se curing a maximum setting of bolls early in the seaRon, as weevil injury will become notifiable toward the clse of the season! T,his experience will stand them in good stead for the years to follow, , It will also be good prac tice - to gather and . burn -all ?, fallen squares once a week until the end 9t July. . But the heavy weevil damage, of '1923 iR due to the south of that fine, and there lies the real field of battle for this year. , , Draw a line from Monroe to' Ra leigh. The area to the went of this line (and south of the other) may be expected i suffer a loss of from ten fo twenty pet cent of the crop, heavier toward tho south and east. In this area the cultural methods should again be used, supplemented by gath ering1 and burning of squares onee a week to the end of July. In the more heavily Infested parts of this area the dust poison, method will probably pay oif most faffiisT and many farmers are now preparing for4 it. Now draw a line from Lumberton in Robeson to Greenville in Pitt. To the west of this line (and south and east of the others) lies the" bulk of our heaviest '.cotton section. In all this area the injury may be expected to range from twenty to thirty per cent, more . heavy to southward. In this area cultural methods should be used to fullest extent, and also, the dust poison method. If on? "nnot dust, then he should at least gather and burn the squares, but this does not at all "equal the dusting. In this area the grower who purposely neglects to use both the cultral and dust poison (methods, is running grave risk of dis aster. v There remains the coastal section enst of the line from Lumberton to flreenville "n( south of Washington and Belhaven, In the area the injory will trobably be from thirty: to fifty per cent. But fortunately this area as a "whole is not so dependent on cot ton as the one last mentioned. ln this area a' substantial reduction in cotton acreage is wise (for the best of all reasons now!) but with other known dependable crops put in to make up for it. For such cotton as is grown use the cultural methods and also the dust ooison method. Rains wilt be an obstacle , but one must be persistent Gathering and burning of squares is also recommended. ' ; The methods discussed are known to be of value., Details cannot be giv, en here but may be secured by apply, in to the county agent or by corres ponding directly with the division of entomology.

WHY THE RUHR VALLEY IS SO VITAL - Gripping. the industrial heart of Germany is now France's occupation of the Ruhr Valley is described in re-,' cent- dispatches from abroad. But when we hear of the French dragoons clattering' at dawn into this hive of In dustry, it is hard to picture Just whaf it all means. "What is the Ruhr,, any way ? . we ask, remembering vaguely constant mention of its importance in the papers, but having no clear idea of its extenpr resources, says the Literary Digest . . "Thi Ruhr1' mentioned in the pap ers is the valley ' of the Ruhr RiVer, and about fifteen miles ' north and south o it,'extending eastward from where the Ruhr flows into the' Rhine (about fourteen miles north of Dussel lorf) past Dortmund to Hamra, a 1U tahce. of 50 miles. As may be seen On the maps it is roughly an oblong bas in' of coal-beds, 30 miles wide at the Rhine,' narrowing to about fifteen be yond Dortmund, and fifty miles long. In this'respect it is not unlike similar basins In this couwtry, except that the coal is more concentrated, and the steel industry almost as much concen trated right on top of it. The area of the Ruhr is' about 1,234 square miles. - Perhaps the situation will be -clearer if we can imagine for eign -'soldiers taking over the manu facturing districts around Pittsburgh, throughout an area as large" as the State of Rhode Island. It would take in all the enormous steel plants and coke ovens in the territory bound ed by Connelstille, Uniontown, Way nesburg, Washington and Allegheny, including' Pittsburgh Itself, McKees fport, Braddock, Monongahella and Homestead- -,v:i : But it means much moVe to Ger many and to Fiance. In a statement made in the French Senate last Nov ember, Senator iLucien Hubert said: "The Ruhr is in reality, a sort ef fo cus of human 5 activity. ! It is some thing inflinitely intricate and infinite ly formidabje. ; The developed por tion f the Ruhr doeinot exceed in size more than 8,200 square kilome-j ters ,that is to say about half of one of our Departments.' In this half De partment there are ten cities or groups which exceed each 200,000 in habitants. Four of five exceed 600,000. This half Department has "4,000,000 inhabitants to feed every morning." As far as Duisburg and Ruhrort are con cerned, this-one port represents in it self the traffic of all the French ports taken together. "This " half Department requires each day 21,000, ten-ton freight cars,4 white the East Railroad systein alto gether does not require Inore than 10, 000. This half Department has shipp ed during the year 1921, 166,000 tons of freight a day', while the whole com pany Of the East oes "not carry more ' than half of that. In 1918 the monthly j productidn of coke from the' Ruhr equaled the annual production of all ' France." "" ' That is a "Frdndhman's view.' What' does the Germaftay? In the New , Yoi-R Times"' of Jairaaryrlf,- the Ger man coal eXpert SirBlts te quoted -as saying that: t " --" - ' "The region has a visable reserve of 54,000,000,000 tons, of which 11,000, 000,000 may be mined down to 700 meters, 18,300,000,000 between 700 meters, 18,300,000,000 between 700 and '1,000 meters and' 25,000,000,000 tons between 1,000 ajjd 1,500 meters. Besides this vast store of black coal,' according to the same expert the Ruhr has a visable reserve of 4,000,- 000,000 tons or lignite or brown coal." To sum up the resources of this amazing ant-hill of industrialism it is pointed out that: ; "In coal, steel and iron it is one of tho richest regions of the world; in the production' of steel and iron ma chinery and implements if stands first in Gerifiiriy; in the production of salt and textiles it has few rivals in the Reich. Before the war Us coal-felds, working only 40 per cent, of their ca pacity, produced 90,000,000 tons a year ,only second in the world to the Pennsylvania flelds,and in correspffnuV ing ratio 6,000,000 tons of pig-iron were produced, which was 40 per cent of Germany's entire output and 10 per cent of the world's." , '. ; The development of the region has been almost like magic. In 1850 tho Krupps "at Essen (then town of 10, 000) began the manufacture of can non.; Just before the war, the Krupps alone employed mote than 40,000 men there and as many more elsewhere. During the intense production induced by the yar its. pay-roll frequently reached a million men. ; The popula tion of Essen is now more than half a million. "The same rapid development characterizes, Dortmund with ita population of 300,000 ! and "its " 899 .foundries; of Hagen( with its Von 'nil tnvHla 'nulla ht ITomm tarifV U ' (Continued or? page four.)
