' 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.

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.

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. i Circuit Court Holds l T p Action.

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 seasons of the year our actual field dif ferences where various methods were tried out- were not so striking. Cotton growers are urged to .study this report ' and plan early to tight the weevil along approved lines.” He pointed out that the entire cotton section of the state is potentially due serious injury by weevils next season. The best weather that can be hoped for, lie said, is a hot dry July such as was experienced in the cotton sections of the state in 1022 and lacking this the 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.
