THE BOLL WEEVIL SITUATION
More Than Four- Times as Much Dust

l'ear.
Raleigh. Aug. s.—lnfestation of cotton
fields by the boll weevil now averages i
much higher then at any time last year!
and is much heavier in southern and i
eastern counties of the State, growing I
progressively lighter in the western cot- j
ton .area, Franklin Sherman, of the
f State division of entomology, announced |
yesterday.
s Mr. Sherman reported Kiat from a •
number of county agents and the twenty .
special boll weevil experts employed j
through the summer by the agricultural |
extension service of the State College
had furnished the information on which j
he based his findings.

is met with a favorable attitude of mind
toward dusting,'’ Mr. Sherman said.
‘‘There is more than four times as much
dusting being done as in any previous
year, and much of it is carried out undr
improved conditions. Cultural methods
| and conditions have averaged good. Cot
jton is making excellent growth and fruit
ing heavily. Os the direct methods of
j boll weevil control, there is no doubt
; but that the standard dust method is now
uppermost ill the minds of the best farm
lers.” '
Mr. Sherman's deductions were drawn
from his own field trip and examina
i : iocs, from reports received from Dr. R.
j W. Leiby, who lias been in the field al
; most constantly during the summer from
j 1 truce Mnbee. extension entomologist, who
spends his entire time in the fields and
from county agents and extension spe
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
cialists.
For the eastern section, it appears that
infestation has greatly increased during
the past two Weeks, AD. Sherman re
ported. Heavier infestation is found
on rank cotton on black land. During
the week ending July 30th, one eastern
observer reported that on nearly every
farm there was one field with infestation
as high as ten per cent. Ten to twenty
five per cent was very common and in
some cases this ran as high us .TO per
cent. The hot. dry weather was having
some deterrent effect, however.
In territory around Raleigh, dusting
is needed only in scattered areas, and the
increase of the weevils is being retarded
by the hot, dry weather.
Constantly growing costs in various
lines have made their situation more dif
ficult all the while.

Mrs. D. B. Green Dies Very Unexpect
edly.
Albemarle, Aug. <>—This community
was much shocked Sunday to hear of ]
the death of Mrs. D. 11. Green, who I
died in St. Peter’s Hospital Charlotte. I
Mm. Green, with her husband, the
retiring pastor of the First Presbyterian I
Church, and their thret children, left
Albemarle a week* ago. Itcv. Mr. Green
had accepted work in Virginia and be
fore going there a few weeks’ vacation
had been planned- When she lott here
there wre no indiutions of illness. How
ever when near Gastonia Mrs. Green
was taken with a severe'headache and a
physician recommended. 1 ' that she be
taken back to a hogpilliT At Si. Peters
Charlotte, she was thonlif to be getting
along favorab'y and it was felt the con
finement there would only last a few
days. Saturday night she was very
bright, as.was also the ease with her
Sunday until shortly after noon, when
she was suddenly stricken with some
thing like apoplexy. She passed away
within a few minutes after having been
stricken.
Cheek Questioned. He Shoots Up Bank.
St. Louis. Aug. (I.—Five persons were
seriously wounded, including two police
men and a deputy sheriff when an un
identified mail staged a shooting spree in
the Mississippi Valley. Trust Co. lobby
here yesterday, after the bank had
questioned him on a cheek he was at
tempting to cash- The cheek was brand
ed a forgery. The man. wounded twice
by a pursuing mob. was trapped in a
barber shop after thousands had been
endangered by continuous volley of
police bullets.

American protection we’ve en
joyed?"
All their suspicion! of the doc
trine vanished. Threatened with
lts loss, they remembered only
what it had done for them.
When the United States finally
didn’t join the league they were
much relieved.
The United states had South
America sold on the Monroe Doc
trine right then, without an.effort
on the former's own part, which
is about the only way the United
States ever does sell anything In
Sj&uth America.
Just at this point the then sec
retary of state. Charles Evans
Hughes, took occasion to state
that the doctrine was exclusively
North. America’s and nobody else’s
—that it was also exclusively in
North America's interest and any
body else's only incidentally—that
It was Immaterial whether the
South Americans liked it or not—
it was none of their business.
That spoiled everything. It re
awakened all the South Americans'
original suspicions, only this time
they had ceased to harbor them
as mere suspicions—they I consid
ered that Secretary Hughes had
confirmed them, in their worst
form. And straightway they went
to tying themselves as tightly as
they could to the League of Na
tions.

ROMANCE SOON VANISHES
Ugly Rumors About Girl’s Adoption
Brings Tears to Eyes.
New York Mirror.
Double-crossed by a dentist again!
The toughest sort of luck seems to
run at the heels of Millionaire Edward
W. Browning, who is is hot water 24
hours after the adoption (Tuesday of
Mary Louise Spas, the Astoria Bohe
mian girl who was to still all the yearn
ings of his paternal heart.
The euddlesome beauty, it now tran
spires, is not the sixteen-year-old minor
described in the adoption papers, but a
relatively mature damsel, who. before
she let her hair down and lisped "daddy”
into Browning’s ear, was almost if not
quite engaged to be married to an As
toria dentist.
Teeth on Edge'.
The very word "centlst” sets Rrown
l ing's teent hon edge. A dentist was Dr.
I ’has. Henry Wilen, named by Browning
as co-resprsdent when lie sought divorce
j from Mrs. Nellie Adele Browning in 11)24.
j Neighbors of the Spas family at No.
2!) Wilson Avenue. Astoria, recalled yes
terday the romance of Mary Louise with
her young dentist and averred that it
was no cub romance, as both parties, ac
cording to their calculations, are over
21.
■’Sixteen?" scoffed Mrs. Annie Kiser,
tenant of the building of which Spas is
janitor. "She’s at least twenty. She
was a baby ,cf one when tilts Spas < ante
from B< Memta twenty years ago. Spas
j v.-orked seventeen years as fireman in a
! New York’publit- school and has been
working here for three years. Three
and seventeen make twenty. Figure it
out for yourself."
The matter of Mary Louise's age
came to the official attention of Superin
tendent Hebbard, of the Jamaica, L. 1.,
bureal of the Queens County Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
He made ominous comment:
"I've looked into the matter. I have
decided that the girl is well over sixteen.
That takes her out of the jurisdiction
of the Children's Society and I cannot
act. The case is up to the police.”
Mary Louse herself, tossing curls
. which showed m; signs of ever having
been done up in a more mature mode of
coiffure, paused in the middle of her
first delirious shopping trip as a rich
man's daughter and made self-possessed
denials of the charges against her.
"I don't know anything about Phis
talk.'' she laughed. ‘‘l was a baby
when papa and mama came to America
from Prague and I know I'm sixteen
now."
