Than Be Isolated on the
Question. '
Washington, Xov. s.—State Depart
ment advices today indicated that Great
Itritain, Italy and Belgium haye reached
an accord favoring a free ahd full repa
rations injuiry by an expert committee.
In effect, the position of these three gov
ernments as understood here, coincides
with tfcat taken by the United States
and opposes the stand for a restricted
inquiry only taken by France. This
development, indicating an entirely tew
alignment for the European allies on the
reparations question, appears to stimu
late hope that eventually the French
government, too, would accept unrestrict
ed program of inquiry, rather than risk
diplomatic isolation. Heretofore Bel
gium and Italy had followed the Frenclr
lead in most of the questions affecting
reparations. Administrative spokesmen
declined today to indicate the probable
attitude of the Washington government
in case the French government main
tains its position.

DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL
OF WINNING VERMONT
Chairman Hull Declares Reports Show
a Steady Drift Away From Republi-
Spieinl to The Xew York Times.
Washington. Xov. 3.—Democratie pol
iticians now in Washington expressed
confidence today that their party will
show great gains in Tuesday’s State
elections and some of them predict tlint
a Democratic Senator will be elected in
Vermont. • Those who are less optimis
tic as a relative party gains assert that
the Republican vote in several States
will be so reduced that the normal Demo
cratic vote will insure victory.
‘There has been a steady drift away
from the Republican party,” said Cqr- (
dell Hull, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. “The last No
vember elections showed this in a sur
prising way in distinctly Republican
states of the northwest. The coining
elections where contests of a national
interest are to be held will be iti the
Eastern states, where 1 the disaffection
has not bten so widespread. Reports
received show that the Democratic tick
ets will receive larger support than in
previous years.
“Kentucky will be, reclaimed from the
Republicans, pnd even Vermont, which
had the distinction of being one of the
two solidly nailed down Republican states
incite 1012 national election, is showing
strong Democratic tendencies. The
sweep to the Democrats is very strong.
| cannot credit the optimistic reports
coming to us; and if I should accent
them on their fate value I would predict
the election of a Democratic Senator in
that State, a relative of President Cool

“We also expect to hold the Twenty
fourth Congressional District in Xew

gained last year, where a vacancy now

CREDIT I'XIOXS PROVING
TO BE OK GREAT VALI'E
Dean B. F. Brown Appointed Snperin
tendrnt of Credit Unions Department.
IBs the iw»lstctir<M>.
Raleigh, Nov. .I.—Announcement was
here yesterday by Dean B. F. Brown,
of the Department of Business Admin
istration, State College, of the appoint
ment of A. B. Anderson, of Wilsoii, as
superintendent of Credit Vnions for the
Division of Markets of State College and
the Department of Agriculture.
The credit unions of the Division of
Markets are proving to be of great value
in the State, said Dean Brown but not
all of them have functioned properly due
to the fact that other important work
ha« made it impossible for the depart
ment to keep up with them.
“Thirty-six credit unions have been
organized," he said,-“and the central
and west central portions of the state
j are fairly well covered and the credit
I needs of members in Jhese sections are
I well taken care of. We are now plan
ning to enlarge our credit union aotiv-,
ities just as fast as practical and will
use the county agent system of the ex
tension service in carrying out these
plans. At first our efforts will be lim
ited to those districts where the credit
needs are greatest.
"The credit union theory is two fold.
The ' first is that the unions promote
thrift and savingfC and while this is a
most important feature, it is possibly
not the outstanding feature. The fact
that the unions are organizations for the
creation of group credit would probably
be the most important feature of the
credit union group. This we can ex-
I plain by using for example twenty men
! none of whom had any credit standing.
By forming these men into an organiza
| tion they can by this joint action secure
I credit that they could not get sperate-
W.”
I In making plans for expansion of the
| credit union work Dean Brown empha
sized that these organizations are in no
way competitors of the regularly estab
lished hanks. In fact ,he . stated that
they are supplementary to the banks ami
help promote the idea of sound business
principles as taught by hanks.
Mr. Anderson,, who will enter upon
his new duties next Monday, is well
fitted for the credit union work, accord
ing to Dean Brown. A graduate of
the University* of North Carolina in
101(1, after specializing in rural econ
oeims and sociology, he talight school for
two years and then was associated with
the Building and Loan Association at
Wilson, He was. raised on a fartnShry
Wilson, He wa4 reared on a farm, and
is therefore familiar with conditions in
the rural districts, said Dean Brown
. and this experience together with his
. education and bank Training should prove
i of jt, rent assistance to him in the per
’ forming of his work as Superintendent
of Credit Vnions.

'HOW TO FIGHT BOLL WEEVIL /
Too Little Attention is Paid to Methods
That Have Proved Successful.
ißy the Asaoc-Tated Press.i
Raleigh, Nov. a. —"Regardless of the
teachings cf agricultural workers through
out the South on the' subject of boll
weevil control, there is a strong tendency
among cotton planters to fight tile weev
il by unsupported by facts as
to their merit," declared Dr. R. W.
Leiby, of the Division of Entomology,
of th? State College and Department of
Agriculture, in a statement issued here
tonight. •
Dr. Isfiby returned earlier in the week
from the National 801 l Weevil Menace
Convention at, New Orleans and iu his
statement suggested methods which he
thought might be of use to the farm
ers of the state iu fighting the pest
which is proving to be such a menace
to the cotton grops of the country.
The work accomplished by the Con
ference should be of interest to every
cotton grower, said Dr. Leiby, He
J was a member of the committee of 21
appointed to draw the resolutions and
recommendations for handling the boll
wrovil situation. The committee conf
prised several directors of agriculture
from various states as wel las cotton
planters, scientists and manufacturers
and the situation was studied from ev- :
ery angle. Reports were made by many
.large planters "who had experimented : n 1
various ways in their fight against, de- !
struetion of the cotton crops and in
making its report tile committee used 1
many of the suggestions made by those 1
who had had practical experience in deal- 1
ing with the question.
One of the troubles in the weevil fight, 1
said Dr. Leiby, is that “too much at- ’
’tentiop is given to those who think they '
know how to fight the weevil and too lit
tle to methods which have been found J
successful after careful aiifl prolonged,
field trials.”
"The fact,” he added, “that the pres- '
ent methods of weevil control, while es- •
feetive, are not yet perfect, has created J
a tendency for the farmer to search for ‘
his own ‘new’ method of control.”
The committee after much delibera- 1
tion, continues Dr. Leiby. concluded, to 1
advise that dependence should strongly !
be placed primarily in such measures as
have-been most widely tested and have
established their claim to general use '
by proven profitable results in a series 1
of seasons aud under a wide diversity 1
of conditions. His statement quotes
tile recommendations as follows:
“Wherever there is evidence of a heavy
survival of •'hibernated weevils ami just ;
before the squares form, one poison
treatment may* be applied at what may
be called the pre-square stage of cotton.
I’nder some conditions a second applica
tion may be needed before blooms appear. ,
For thin purpose, and al this time, the
grower miiy choose between home-mixed
calcium arsenate syrup mixtures applied
with-a mo+ior Wile, »n<* iimtituled estf- [
'"him arsenate applied as a dust by any
simple method. Such treatments evi- ,
dentl.v greatly reduce the attack from ,
hibernated weevils, and appear to delay
appreciably the increase of infestation ,
to a point .where additional control treat- ,
ment becomes needed.
“The method commonly known as the ,
‘Florida method' appears to give an es- i
feetive control “of hibernated weevils and
reduces the attack in the early part of ’
the season so that a profitable increase
iu yield may result, but this treatment
alone leaves the fields subject to re-in- 1
festatiou which cuts short the fruiting
period when the general migration of
weevils occurs. To prolong the fruit
ing period late dusting becomes ueees- >
sary. - ,
“The standard calcium arsenate dust- i
ing method when properly used has '
shown in all sections superior efficiency
in weevil control, after cotton reaches l
the stage of growth where it blooms 1
freely. The beginning infestation and i
should be when ten per cent, of the
squares show weevil punctures. This i
method of treatment has shown the pos
sibility of holding down weevil infesta
tion and even checking the attack from
migrated weevils for several weeks. The
dusting treatment at its best may per
111't cotton to continue blooming to the
limit of its normal growth period. Far
this dusting suitable machinery is es
sential.”
"These recommendations,” said Dr,
Leiby in conclusion, “are in general con
formity with our investigations and ex
perience during* the past season in
North Carolina, although because of a
light weevil infestation during certain

growers must fight the weevil in
telligently or suffer the enormous losses
which have been experienced by the
more southern cotton states in the past
years.
