COMMISSION TO MEET ON JULY 6TH In the Menatime Work, oh the Entire Llink Be tween Statesville and Newton is Held Up. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 28.—T0 relocate New ton-Statesv’lle highway. This seems to be the only solution the State high way commission haR if the “aliasing link” in highway No. 10 ia to be completed any time soon, although there are no new developments in the situation.at present, neither are any expected until the meeting of the highway commission on July 6th, when an effort will be made to take up the Newton matter. It is ex pected, however, that the only step that can J>e taken will be to order a new survey with a view of finding a route that will conform to the rul i*g of the State supreme court. fn the meantime work on the en- Hep link between Statesville and Newton is held up, for while the route through Iredell county as far as the Catawba river haa been ap proved, it is pointed out Jhat con struction of this section of the pro ject ia impossible ns long as a “Where do we go from here?” sign remains stuck up on the banks of the Ca tawba. It will also be remembered that Catawba county itself, with the exception of Newton, the county seat, prefers the northern route, as orig inally surveyed and selected by the highway commission, and that the county was contributing $200,000 to ward the building of the highway in the event this route was used. Wheth er or not Catawba county will be willing to extend this same aid to ward the building of the highway ov er any other route is problematical. So there sticks another obstacle. It is understood, however, that an effort is !o be made to »u.ve> an other location from the Catawba riv-i 1 er to Newton that will conform with the Supreme Court decision and pass by at ieaßt one of the four doors of the Newton court house.

The Concord Daily Tribune -- North Carolina's Treading Small City Daily 1,127 Persons Killed In Traffic Accidents In South During Year ■ ■ ■ ■■ —as NOTHING TO FEAR FROM i COTTON HOPPER OR FLEA ! But Fanners Most Be on the Lock cut for the 801 l Weevil. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 28.—North Carolina cotton growers imve nothing to fear from “hoppers” or the “cotton flea” which in the last few days has been reported as doing very extensive dam age to the Texas crop, but they must continue to be on the lookout for their old enemy, the boll weevil, ac cording to B. W. Leiby. entomologist for the State ikqiartmcnt of agricul ture. The “hopper” or “flea” is so called because of its means of locomotion, in that it hops or jumps about. It is a sucking insect, and attacks tfie cot ton principally in the buds, and in jures the young squares, either caus ing them to fall before coming to a bloom, or else making them inenp- 1 able of bearing a boll of Cotton. It does not develop in the squares, how ever, as does the boll weevil. The hopper is a periodical pest and de velops mostly in connection with cer tain weeds or plants. Entomologists 1 of the State department of agricul-1 ture have been searching for the “hop per" in Nort'u Carolina, but so far have not found a single trace of it in the state, although it has been common in South Carolina, and es pecially Texas, for some t ! me. But when it comeß to boll weevils, the situation is far different, accord ing to Mr. Leiby, for while few have been reported to date, this is to be expected because of the lateness of the season. And whether or not the cotton crop in this state will suffer from the depredations of the weevil, now depends almost entirely upon climatic conditions through July and August. | The first weevil found this season j was on a farm near the Aberdeen 1 boll weevil laboratory on June 17th. i This was juat seventeen days later than the first weevil was found a year ago. And because of the late ness of the season, indications arc that there will not be as many weev- 1 He as lust season. The fact, too, ! tiiat last winter was rather more •evere than usual also tends to in dicate that there will be fewer weev il*.. . Observations made as the Aber deen laboratory showed that out of a number of weevils taken into win-i ter quarters, winter before last, about one per cent, survived. Ijast win- ! tet, out of a similar number taken in a like manner, less than one per cent, survived. ; But the final outcome is up to the weatherman, Sir. Leiby says. If the weather remains hot and dry through July and August, the trances are that the boll weevils will do very little damage, and that the crop loss from the weevila will not amount to more than 3 per eent. However, if these months are damp and warm, conditions will be most favorable for the development of the weevils, and the damage may mount aa high as 10 or 15 pec eent. Contrary to general belief, the sea son thus far has been favorable to the weevils, because the cotton has not yet advanced far enough to per mit the weevils. to get busy, because the buds must first appear before the weevils can lay their eggs in the squares or bolls. But if the weath er is dry hnd hot, this heat will cook the grube before they ran do any damage, but if it ia rainy and damp, the grubs will develop and do much damage. So now it all depends upon the weather. Say Cotton Hoppar Bad aa 801 l Weevil. Atlanta, Ga., June 26.—Serious damage is resulting to the cotton crop in Georgia as a result of the ravages of the Texas cotton flea, or “cotton hopper," and unless vigor ous remedial action is taken, the menace to the crop will be as great as that of the boll weevil, the State Board of Entomology announced here. The hopper has been reported in 60 counties, the announcement said. The worst damage has resulted in North Georgia counties. Little Bock, Ark., June 26. Presence of the destructive cotton hopper in Drew and Greene counties has been reported by citizens, with damage in the latter section appar ently local. Ravages of the pest in Northern Louisiana were confirmed in a report to the Kansas Co-oper ative Ctotton Growers’ Association by residents of Ashley County, in South Arkansas.

COTTON MILLS ON FIRM FOUNDATION. Overproduction Difficulties Can Be Overcome, Says Association Head. Asheville, June 25.—Textile manu facturing and related industries in North Carolina hie operating on a basically firm foundation, and they are capable of unlimited development. Such was the declaration made to night by J. M. Gamewell, Lexington, N. C„ acting president of ttie North Carolina Cotton Manufacturers’ As sociation. which is in convention at Grove Park Inn. “A slight over-production some time ago,” said Mr. Gamewell, “tempo rarily threatened to jar the cotton in dustry from its place of prosperity and importance in North Carolina. But the industry is basically sound, and now it is again coming into its own. “The solution to over-protduction difficulties and similar temporary evils is co-operation in production and marketing on the part of the manu facturers and co-operation on the part of the growers of cotton. The key note of our convention here this year is ' co-operation.” According to Mr. Gamewell and C. G. Hill, Wiqston-Salem, vice presi dent of the association, there is prac tically no limit to the extent to which the cotton industry may develop in North Carolina. The state ia ideally located for taking the lead in the world of cot ton enterprises, they said. It is it self in a productive cotton region, and is a key-state to the cotton belt of the reat of the United States. It has enough transportation facil .it ies, both water and rail, and enough natural resources and access to nat ural resources of other sections to make it a manufacturing center, it was declared.
