So says J. Z. Green, and his state
:.ient gives a pretty clear Idea of the
situation, according to the Progres
sive Farmer. Roughly speaking, ei
ther waterworks or lighting system
will cost four hundred to a thousand
dollars. It depends upon the sys
tem selected, the kind of fixtures
used and how much of the work is

Stanhope DeLaney, an intelligent and idone by the farmer httiiHolf. The wir-
observant farmer of the Weddington
community, says that he saw the boll
weevil in his neighborhood last year,
and that this year they are present
In large numbers. The other day he
counted eight punctured squares that
had fallen oft small stalks. He an
ticipates much damage from the rav
ages of (he pest this summer. Mr.
DeLaney is positive that the insects
are boll weevils. Mr. DeLaney't dis
covery, together with the destruction
of ten acres of corn on Mr. Henry
Crow's farm near Crowburk by the
army worm. Is causing concern here
among the -agricultural leaders.
"There must be a reversal of agri
cultural rrllry In this section," sayi
Mr. Flow. "Solomon said: 'That a
lug for a six-room house should cost
around seventy-five dollars. This ap
proximate cost added to the plant se
lected would be the total cost for elec
tric lights. Plumbing for the home.
Including cost of Installing, should
cost around three hundred dollars
for kitchln and bathroom. This es
timate Includes bath tub. commode,
lavatory, kitchen sink, and hot water
tank. It will also be necessary to
have a septic tank, which the farmer
himself can build at a small cost.
These items would make the total
cost of a waterworks system. If both
waterworks and lighting plaats are
ordered at the same time through the
same dealer, the total cost will be
still less than here Indicated.
