Cutworm- would not be so whollv
despised if they really ate aM of the
plants tiny destroy. .lust cutting oil
the stalks and leaving the plant. 01
branch of it, to wither and die seems
about the meanest thing even a worm
could think of.
One of Uncle Sam’s bulletins says
that the following poison will kill
cutworms, of which there are several
kinds, all changing into moths in tin
iate summer:
One ounce Paris gslUti or white
arsenic.
1 1-4 pounds dry bran.
4 ounces, or A tablespoonfuls, mo
lasses or sirup.
1-2 pint of water.
.Mix all together well, first mix
ing the Paris green with the bran
Let it stand for several hours, the:,
scatter it thinlv along the row, oi
around the plants, after sundown.

It you grow those long multiplying
onions that are called scallions, and
which are now at their best, try cook
ing this way: Peel the onion
and use only the white part, or a vei\
little of the pale green, cutting off the
tops. Put the onions in a stewpan with
a few spoonfuls of water, cover them
closely and set them on the stove
where they can steam till tender. Sea
son with salt, bldkk pepper and but
ter. Or you can use bacon or ham fat
instead of butter. Serve hot. And you
will want some cornbread to eat with
them. They are far different from
fried onions, and far better.
Among the many, many things that
irritate me is hearing some one sa\ .
“1 realty do not care for church and
Sunday School. Plenty of people di
though, so let them go on and teach
the classes.” The irritating thing is
not that they do not like to go. It is
their assuming that others only K«
and teach because they enjoy it. It is
..ale to say that Sunday School officers
and teachers, if are the right
sort, would enjoy resting longer, sleep
ing later on Sunday, not having t<
hurry, and just generally taking things
easy, as much as any other tolks would
—if they did not feel that they ought
to go to church. And mind you, 1 don’t
say that they teel they really want t>
go every time. Duty is not always a
pleasure to humans. Then, when om
has tried to put duty first, has studied
the lesson harder because of wishing
to pass on its truths and teachings
and has left undone many things at
home in order to be on time at Sun
day School, it does seem unappreciative
to overhear or have repeated to om
such comments as that quoted above.
Os course the real teacher does not
work for praise and appreciation
alone; but they surely help in doing
one’s best w'ork.
I do not have a class at this
time so am speaking in behalf of those
who do.
Another thing that leaves one hard
ly knowing whether t<> feel compli
rnented or not is to work for hours on
a paper or talk for an occasion and
after giving it t<> have tolks sa\
‘•You don’t have any trouble doing
things like that. It is so easy for y«>u.
You don’t want to pose as being able
to do your best without special pre
paration, and you wonder if they think
you have done only what you should
be able to do offhand.

/ SHALL SOT FORGET
These are the things that I shall not forget
When the day’s work is done:
The little kindnesses I may havt shown
To any one;
The burdens that 1 may have helped to bear
Throughout yu- day,
For comrades walking with me down the way.
Not one regret that I had done too much,
Where there was much to do.
But this I know, when the long hours pass
In swift review,
I shall look back and wish that I had done
Oh, so much more,
When I turn in at evening to my door.

I To Fayetteville—
Round-Trip
On Monday morning “ye editor”
and Mr. Nobles rolled away toward
Fayetteville on a business trip. Wc
I stopped for awhile at < ampbell Col
; lege. Dr. Campbell was away on busi
ness. but his efficient secretary. Miss
Overby, was running the office affairs
! with the thoroughness of an-old hand
This, we wen told, is one of the Col
lege's best years.
We stopped in Dunn for dinner and
then' visited a job printing shop run
by Mr. Barbour, a brother of our Miss
Barbour, of the Wakelon faculty. He
said business was good and so it seem
ed.
Reaching Fayetteville in the early
afternoon, we circled the old market
house, or city hall, as all cars must do
and drove out to see Charles Souther
land. an old Zebulon hoy, and nephew
to the Nobles. Fayetteville is an old
town, being settled early in the his
tory of the state. Two creeks run
through the city crossing each othe;
there. We saw the creeks, but not the
place where they cross. I was told on
good authority that they actually
1 cross each other, the water really not
J fully mingling in the crossing.
We drove out to Twin Rivers aboul
six miles away on the load to I.um
berton. These streams run parade’
with each other, and bridges buil
across them almost connect. The high
wav has been straightened and a new
bridge built spanning both streams
together. The bank just above this
bridge, about 25 feet wide, has been
cut away so the waters come together
A few hundred yards down stream the
twins come together in one stream
An island is formed thereby covering
15 or 20 acres. A cemetery of a dozen
graves is seen on the knoll a hundred
feet above the road. The stones like
ghosts, shining in their whiteness, art
seen as one crosses the bridge.
Just over the creek is a beautifu'
old Scotch home. It has been in the
I McNeil family from colonial days. The
last McNeil to own it was a doctor
and he sold it to his niece, who wa
tt McKinnon. She married a Mr
j Vaughan from Arkansas and they live
•there today. He is the publisher of
The People’s Advocate, a weekly
newspaper, that circulates over Cum
berland County. Mrs. Vaughan ably
assists him, furnishing a very inter
esting column each week under the
head of “Seen, Said and Surmised.”
A gentleman who has a store neat
the river banks told us an interesting
story concerning Dr. McKinnon. Ht
said years ago there was a mill hand
living in Hope Mills who became se
riously ill with fever. Dr. MeKinnor
1 waited on him. When he recovered, ht
told the doctor he had no money wit)
i which to pay him. but if he ever could
he would repay him in some way foi
his services, Later the man, a Mr
Morgan, moved to Laurinburg. Ht
prospered, became mill superintend
ent, owner, and later the owner of
several mills. Mrs. Vaughan, who wa.-
Miss McKinnon, was sent to college
by him. and later for special study in
| music in Germany. And so he thus re
| paid the good old doctor for his set -
I vices.
The Vaughan home is a large beau
tiful house set high on the hill. Flight
<>f steps lead up to the front. All
around are spacious grounds covered
w ith a variety of trees, flowers, vines i
trellises, bird baths and lawn seats
In the rear are grape arbors, rose gar j
dens, and a long arbor cover with
roses and wistaria. The place is on<
of the most attractive and home-liki
I have ever seen, and it is worth a
trip to Fayeteville and Twin Rivers t<
see it.

Chicken Stealing Is
Organized Racket
1 1
Chicken stealing has become a seri
- 11 ous menace to the success ot the poul
try industry in North Carolina am 1
| should he fought in an organized way
1 by the poultrymen of the State, is the
’ I belief of Roy S. Dearstyne, head oi
' | the poultry department at State Col
] lege.
In the past, we have considered
. chicken stealing as a necessary evil
i more of a prank than anything else
| j but of late it has developed into some
' i thing more serious and poultrymer
| must begin to take steps in their de
| sense. Under ordinary circumstances
I this thievery is the bane of the poul
-1 try grower’s existence, especially il
I he is developing highly-bred birds bu
i now with the use of the motor trucks
j and good highways, it is possible foi
| thieves to stieal chickens in large
] | quantities and be off with them t<
. market before the grower is aware ol
, ! his loss.
Dearstyne says he has received
| numerous letters in past weeks tel 1-
, | ing of wholesale losses by poultrymen
1 One man said the thieves had taken
: every chicken except one old roostei
and left a note tied to his leg.
- In some instances, the entire living
. of a family is tied up in the poultry
’ flock. The flock has been built up by
the investment of hard-earned money
. long hours of work and careful study
, ! Under such circumstances, the wiping
. j out of the flock in one night is a seri
. I ous matter.
! | To combat this, Dearstyne urges
J community and county poultry asso
. eiations and the cooperation of honest
dealers. Courts should impose heaviei
. sentences and every poultry ownei
! should follow up the prosecution ot
| thieves and insist that they get max
imum sentences.

Concerning Your
Government Loan
t —_—
Borrowers are free to use the pro

This quotation from a letter issued
by the Crop Production Loan Office of
j the U. S. Department of Agriculture
J clears up any confusion that may ex
j ist among farmers as to the use of th<
money obtained. The letter clearly
points out that regulations governing
crop production loans do not contain
av requirements or even suggestions
that cei-tain brands or makes of ma
terials be purchased.
The letter in full, as received by Ex
tension Directors, and transmitted to
County Agents and others, reads as
follows:
“TO: ALL STATE AND FIELD SU
PKRVLSORS.
“The regulation governing nop pro
duction loans do not contain any re- 1
quirement or suggestion to borrowers
