SCIENTIFIC METHODS IN FKillT AGAINST WEEVIL Experiments Show That Money Spent in Combatting Weevil Was Good Investment. IRt the ANiiH-latpO Cr,,.-» Raleigh. X. Sept. 21- —“By mak ing an investment of $1.1130 for poison and machines R. F. Stewart, of Aber deen. was able to dust all of his e.dton on 27."> acres four or five times end will probably save! one-fourth of his crop, or 109 pounds of lint per acre, this season.' said Dr. It. AY. Leiby on re turning to the headquarters here of the I Department of Agriculture from Aber deen- after closing the boll weevil field investigation station there. Mr- Stewart normally made a bale of cotton to the acre before the coming of the weevil, said I)r. Leiby. This year he offered his fields in cooperation with i the work being done at the agricultural i field station at Aberdeen and under Dr. i LeibyV direction a eareftil study was made, of all conditions affecting the cot ton during the year. Applications ,of poison were made according to the method employed by the station, and the percentage of punctured squares was so held down that nearly a fall crop was made, according to Dr. Lome. The crop was made, continued Dr. Ta-iby, with the aid of a favorable sea son. by j proper planting, adequate fer tilization and cultivation, but it had to be saved by applications of poison- Mr. Stewart’s dusting machinery cost him stil(o and his poison cost $1,330. mak ing a total Outlay of $1,930 for fighting the weevil. According to counts made in his fields recently, said Dr. Leiby. at least one-fourth of his crop was saved. Figuring the cotton will bring 27 cents a pound, which was the price at the time the observations were made, the result is $8,122 more income for his cotton crop. The cost of the material used in combatting the weevil was sl.- 930, not counting the labor, but includ ing the cost of dusting machines, which are good for several more years usage. The net gain is the difference betweeu $8,122 and $1,930, or $6,192. Dr. Leihy said that if the weevil had inflicted no injury at all, Mr. Stewart would have been out only the interest in his invest ment, because he would not have used the poison or machines, but seved them for another year- Dr- Leiby compared the result obtain ed by Mr. Stewart with those of other cotton planters in the southern and southeastern tier of counties who did not. follow the same course of combat ting the weevil used by Mr. Stewart under the direction of the agricultural field station. “These planters." he said, "did nearly everything that was humanly possible to mature a full crop up until August when the weevils began their destructive work. The cotton Was planted early, good seed was used, the crop was well fertilized and cultivated thoroughly, but after the cotton was made the weevil was allowed to take about one-third of the crop through the planters’ negli gence in, not studying the recognized method of weevil control and making an investment of about $9 per acre for - and doing a little extra work during the season." However, there were a number of other farmers besides Mr. Stewart who took advantage of the state’s offer to help them save their cotton crop and all of them obtained similar successes, said. Dr- Leiby. Trinity Law School Opens. Trinity College. Durham, N. Sept. 22. —AA'ith an enrollment of twenty pupils the Trinity Low School has be gun another year. Founded through the beneficence of James 8.-and Benjamin X. Duke in tlie summer of 1904, the Law School is starting off ou its twentieth session. Since its founding in 1904. the Law School lias run eoutintioffsly with the exception of the two years’ duration of the World AA’ar The suspension during that period came when the AA’ashiugton Government eoinmandered all of the larger institutions. The regular law course of those two years was under direct orders from AA’ashington given over to instruction : n military and in ternational law. Dean Samuel F. Mordccni, famous jurist, author of law textbooks, and teacher of law. has had charge of the school since its beginning and will have charge of it this year. Other members of the faculty are: I)r. AV I’. Few, I’resident of the college; AA". S. Lock hart and .1. H.‘ Ruff, of the Durham bar and professors of law; Dr. W. H. (Hasson, professor of Political Science; Dr. AV. K. Boyd. Professor of Legal and constitutional History and AA’. T- Towe, Law Librarian. The instruction in the Trinity Law School follows the case system, based al most entirely upon tbe Harvard Case Books. Thoroughness is the main ob ject aimed at. That this aim has been carried out is attested by the record made in this and other, states by the lawyers who were trained under Dean Mordeeni's supervision. Dean Mordecai holds an enviable record 'n the matter of sending students with his certificate before the State Bar examination. In the years of its existence the school has never hud but two men, holding certificates of gradua tion, who failed to pass the exami nation, and one of these passed the next examination without further prepara tion- I Just So. "A great man descends to tlie com , mon level when he writes n love letter. ■ I think' we may set this down as a truism," remarks th* everyday sage. d&Kf MU' * Xx V-: AU Comforts of Home in Tonring Car With Which W.

K. Kel logg, cereal manufacturer of Bat tle Creek, Mich., to take the open road with a car that has literally "all the comforts of home.” A shower bath, complete kitchen, ice making machine, Pullthan berths and radio outfit are but a few of the conveniences to be found in the "Ark,” with which Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg expect to visit (he capitals of all the states in the Union. The interior of the car is the ina tertalized dream of a motor tourist. Just back of the driver's seat Is an elaborate radio set, equipped with an aerial cleverly concealed in the roof and a loud speaker capable of entertaining the occupants of the ear at any time. Two electric tens and an Inside speedometer are also mounted in the front of the ear. The seats are four arm chairs mounted on swivels.

The chairs, lo cated Immediately back of the SWIVEL MOUNTED ARM CHAIRS nious design which permits their conversion at a moment's notice into twin beds. Curtains from the roof to the floor of the car give the beds the privacy of Pullman berths. Because of their swlvpl mountings, the chairs may be made to face in any direction. Specially designed tables placed between each pair of chairs changes the car into a diner. Even Running Water In the rear are comforts for the longest tour. There is a refrigera tor with a complete ice making plant. There is a lavatory and toilet room provided with running water from a pressure tank. The kitchen equipment, complete with an electric flreless cooker stove, has also a two-burner oil stove for use in emergencies. What space was left after the installation of this equipment was converted into commodious locker and cupboard room. In addition to the lavatory there is a shower bath.

Four more lights illuminate the berths at night. ' Thirty-five Miles an Hour The gasoline capacity of the "Ark,” as Mr. Kellogg calls it, is 35 gallons. The mileage is about seven and one-half to eight miles to the gallon. The chassis is powered with a 45 H. P. motor and displays a 118-inch wheel base.
