Says Frank lin Sherman. my the Associated Press I Raleigh, N. C„ June ft.—“ The first positive nr tvs ofthe finding of boll weev ils on young cotton comes from R. \V. I-eiby and J. A. Harris of this Divis ion. who- are located at opr field station near Aberdeen," said Prof. Franklin Sherman, chief of the Division of Ento mology for the North Carolina Experi ment Station,-today. “From winter Cages,” he said, “the weevils began to' emerge late in March, j and several have been found in the fruit orchards, but ttie first to appear on cot ton were found on June 1, in Hoke coun . ty, near Aberdeen. Dr. Leiby * reports tlat they recently made a survey of the situation in Robeson and. Scotland coun ties where cotton is more advanced, some of it beginning to form squares, and found boll weevils at the rate $f from twenty to 325 per acre. He reports that the in tation was more uniform than is usually the case, though worse next to the woods, ditch banks nnd buildings, and that farm ers pronounce the spring, emergences the heaviest in their experience. Poison ing was begun in one of the fields where infestation was heaviest. "It is very important to remember that these conditions will naturally be reach ed curlier in the southeastern counties than elsewhere in the State. It may be several weeks or a month before the same degree of infestation will be reached in counties farther north. “The standard recommendation for ear ly poisoning Is to give the application at the time the square begins to form, if at that time weevils appear as numerouM as 20 or more per acre. Last year we knew of no fields in which- this was the case, but this year a heavier spring emergency which, was predicted and is now being realized some fields may need the early poisoning treatment. “Dusting time generally will come lat er when cotton is in bloom and is put ting on squares at the maximum rate. We have found the average time to be gin general dusting to be during the last half of July in the. past several years.” EXPECT TO COMPLETE SHEPHERD JURY TODAY Most df Jurors Already Chosen After Questioning Which Lasted Several Weeks.

Museum Starts op First Leg of Trip. (By the Associated Press) j Peking. June ft.—ln further pursuit of its quest for traces of primitive man in ■ I the stratum of tile Ice Age. the Third 'Asiatic Expedition of the New York Mu • j seum of Natural History, ( iff co-operation i with the American Asiatic Association , has started on the first leg of its renew jed penetration of the wilds of Mongolia . and Chinese Turkestan. Its first perma- I nent camp will be 1,000 miles northwest j of Knlgan. on the site of last year's dis | eovery of dinosaur eggs, which aroused I such keen interest throughout the west ern world. Here the leader of the expe dition, Roy Chapman Andrews and his corps of scientists expect to overtake the imposing transport train of 150 camels dispatched some two months ago. The work of exploration will start at the first eapip where an effort will be made to rediscover a best of dinosaur eggs found on the last expedition, but lost again because of a terrific sandstorm that changed the topography, of the coun try. It is planned to drop off the first group of men there, where rich finds are anticipated also in fossil remains of pre historic animals, while the main expedi tion continues' west along the north slope of the Altai Mountains and then south in the direction of Chinese Turkestan. The objective this year Is to work in a more recent stratum of socks, which might result in fossilized traces of human evo lution. , “On the zoological side,” Sir. Andrews explained, “we hope to get into the zone of true wild horses and wild camels. We hope to secure groups of both for the Museum. We have with us also a paleo botanist whose work will be to study fos silized plant lift and to judge what the climate was like in the various periods. This will enable us to decide whether it was a suitable place for man, and thus of our chances of finding traces of pre historic man.” Besides the camel transport, the expe dition's equipment includes seven motor vehicles, cars nnd trucks, equipped with special tires-for negotiating desect sands. The personnel totals 40 men, and of supplies there is being transported 3,500 gallons of gasoline and 100 gallons of oil for the cars; two tons of flour, a ton of rice, half a ton of sugar and other things in proportion. The only food supply thnt can be counted upon in the country to be covered is meat. The ex pedition expects to reach Kalgan on its return about the middle of September. EXPECT WOMEN TO TAKE PART IN DEFENSE MUSTER War Department Answers Complaints on Last Year’s Methods. Washington, D.

Davis said today in a letter to Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cooke, jpresideiyt general of the Daughters of the I American Revolution, who had com plained that in some instances last year, “women were not permitted to partici pate actively either on local committees or in the parades.” “The war department stands squarely behind the maintenance of the tradition al part that women have played in the defense of America, and its institutions, ever since those days of the »trui?gling colonies,” Mr, Davis said Author of “Lems Doone.” i London, June ft.—The one hundredth [ anniversary of the birth of Richard I). . Blnckmore, the famous novelist is being ■ commemorated in English literary cir i cles this week. A graduate of Oxford, ■ Blackmore decided upon a literary career ; soon after completing his studies. A . complete breakdown in health rendered it necessary for him to leave city life in London, and he determined to combine a literary life in the country with a busi-l ness career as a market gardener. He| settled down in Tedlngton, and set earn -1 cstly to work. Several novels came from] 1 his pen, but it was not until 1860 that) he suddenly sprang into fame with “Lor ’ na Doone,” which is regarded as ia classic : of the west country.

GERMANATTITUDE NOT YET KNOWN Italy and Belgium Are Ex pected to Agree to Pact and Germany May Be Forced to Take Similar Action. Geneva. June 9 (By the Associated Press).—European peace and security seemed almost an accomplished fact to the League of Nations group today with France and Great Britain finally agreed on a pact program. England’s greatest : war strength is thrown behind a four-power pact to guar antee the inviolability of the Rhine fron ttier. as delimited by the Versailles treaty. The other participans beside France will be Belgium and Germany provided the latter agrees to the condi tions. The agreement which was announced yesterday is the outcome of the proposal recently made by Germany to the ensu ing negotiations between the British and French c-oulminating in the meeting here this week of Austen Chamberlin, British foreign secretary, and M. Briand. the French foreign minister. Provisions of Agreement. London, .Tune 9.—British government today gave official acknowledgment of ttife Franco-Brit.ish agreement to the reply to Germany’s ■ security pact proposals an nounced at Geneva yesterday. British government issued a statement emphasiz ing that the proposed pact is one of mu tual assistance. Tlie statement says Great Britain has guaranteed to protect both sides of the Rhine and therefore to assist either Ger many or France against aggressions of the other. This abandonment by Great Britain of her long standing policy of isolation from continental affairs is a concession to the peace and security of Europe, the state ment says. The statement added that acceptance of the pact by the allies if approval is given by Germany, is contingent upon Germany’s entrance into the league of nations. Before the pact can function it will be necessary for Germany to enter the league as a full member, which is an, entire change of the former policy under which it had been maintained that Ger many should become an unconditional member of the league before security could be discussed. REFUSE TO DISPATCH DIRIGIBLE INTO ARCTIC Wilbur Thinks Proposal is Too Risky Aircraft As Sole Defense Futile. Washington, June B.—The airship Lfl« Angeles was directed by Secretary Wilbur today to resume its flight to Minnesota as soon as necessary engine repairs have been made. It is expected that the dirigible. which turned back after getting ns far as. Cleveland yesterday, because of engine trouble, will be able to leave Lakehurst, N. J„ so its second attempt in about two days, if weather conditions are favor able. At the same time the secretary an nounced that the request of the Nor wegian ,Aero club that the United States navy send the dirigible Los Angeles or Shenandoah in search of the Amundsen Polar expedition had been refused. The request was transmitted to Presi dent Coolidge while he was en route to Minnesota, and was referred by him to Secretary Wilbur. The navy .depart ment, the secretary said, had not chang ed its original opinion that such an ex pedition was not feasible “We are not going to send any wild goose chase to the polar regions,” he de clared. Mr. Wilbur said the experience of the Los Angeles yesterday gave one more illustration in support of the view that it would be futile to depend for national defense exclusively upon the reliability of gasoline engines. The efficiency of aircraft, he asserted, iR dependent upon the efficiency of their engines, and while “we are not decrying anything we have said heretofore in favor of aircraft, we can’t have an enemy wait while we fix our engines.” ' Find Two Bodies in Mine ami Move on For 17 Others In It.
