The best local con ditions are to be found in the North ern Mountain counties and in the Central Piedmont, where upward >f .'NO percent is reported, with a yield appreciably above the average. Hay. Hast year's hay crop was unusual ly good in both acreage and yield, following a shortage the year be fore. With a condition of 72 percent 'for all tame hays, we have a decline from 82 percent a month ago. This vt due almost entirely, to the dry conditions which were relieved late in May. The grain hays indicate al most a ton per acre yield. While moot farmers have small acreages of summer planted peas or soy beans for fall harvest, yet there is entire ly too much hay imported from out side of the State. Conditions are ideal for growing a large variety and quantity of high-quality hay if is given any reasonable attention and is baled. Fruit. The fruit crop was severely hurt by the April and May cold periods. This is. particularly true in the tncuntifin and mfiitheasteru coinvUea- Even Hie large commercial Sand Hills peacn terrrFory was hard hit from I’inehurst southward. The re cent rains came just in time to save the peach crop, as the fruit was maturing too small tor advantageous sales. The condition of 35 percent of a full crop prospect is decidedly be low last year's peach condition and indicates a crop of 1.050.000 bushels for the State at large. With a condition of 30 percent for apples, we have a very short crop in prospect since the report showed OS percent for a year ago and 00 per cent for the ten-year average. Farm ers having apples should take good care of them as the chances are for a good sale for them this year. There are 12,000.e(l by another car and then struck a telephone i»o!e on the Kan napolis road near the city limits. The men were J. A. Payne and T. (). Montjoy. The two men were car ried to the Concord Hospital for treatment and were later taken to their homes in Kannapolis. Mr. Payne was the more seriously injured and he sustained lacerations on his face and head. Mr. Moutjoy received on ly slight cuts. The men were riding toward Con cord, it was said following the acci dent, when another ear. also coming toward Concord, passed them and turned sharply in front of their car, sideswipihg it and causing it to crash into a telephone pole. The ear, a Ford sedan, was cut almost in half by the force of the impact with the pole. CONCORD MEN HELD AT WADESBORO FOR DRY LAW VIOLATION J.

Whitener, of Hickory, Describes Chi nese Conditions in Inter esting Manner. Communietic propaganda rather than the revolution was the moving spirit of the hurried flight of Rev. Sterling W. Whitener and his family from Yoehow City, Hunan Province, central China, early in January, to Shanghai, and back to the United States, according to Mr. Whitener to day. Mr. Whitener and his wife and two small sons, Sterling and Donald, are visiting Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Ly erly, on West Corbin street. At both the morning and evening hours of worship at Trinity Reformed Church Sunday, Mr. Whitener filled the pul pit, relating in graphic detail condi tions as he observed them in unsettled China. Both Mr. and Mrs. AVhitener art missionaries to China of the Reformed Church iu the United States. Mr. Whitener is a native of Hickory and was graduated from Catawba College in 11)18. In that year the latter in stitution was located at Newton, but since has been re-organized and es tablished at Salisbury. Mr. Whitener entered the mission ary field in the fall of 1919. going di rectly to Nanking. China, where dur ing the remainder of 1919 and part of 1920 he was a student of the Language school at Nanking University. From school he went to the Reformed mis sion at Yoehow. a city of 20.000 popu lation in the province of Hunan. For the next six years Mr. Whif ener did evangelistic work at the Yoehow Reformed Mission, teaching the word of God in this great central province. He made numerous visits all by slow transportation, in the.in terest of the Reformed Mission. When Mr. Whitener arrived at Yoehow the mission had been established some twenty years, and the work was or ganized to a great extent. In the city of Yoehow some 200 natives belonged to the Reformed Mis sion. For the most part the natives are either Buddhists or Confueianists. Since the rebellion it is apparent that the work must be re-established in China, but even when that might be possible remains to be determined, ac cording to Mi 4 Whitener. Mr. Whitener and his family came to American for a vacation of several months Inst year, returning to Yoehow City in the early fall. Then when the Cantonese troops started warring, marching to Hanchow, the l nited States government through its embas sy warned the America* missionaries to quit their missions for safety of their lives. Mr. Whitener said that the warning came "to leave immediately." and by slow method* of transportation reached Shanghai three weeks later whe.ro, he a lid hit- wife and children embarked for America—the land of peace and freedom. Mr. Whitener spoke interestingly of the living conditions of the Chinese people, and the great movement that is slowly tearing away the traditions of these people to be replaced with modernism to a certain extent. Yoehow City. Mr. Whitener said, did not have any telephones, radios, automobiles nor fine highways, but that the flapper is very much in evidence. Bobbed hair is popular with the Chinese girls.. The sanitary are very low in the large Chinese,cities, espe cially in Yoehow City. Mr. Whitener added. There is no running water in the homes: the homes are built closely together, and have few win dows and in many eases the houses have no floors. All the food that is eaten, and the water, are boiled or well cooked to free it of germs. Only the better class of people are careful with the food and water which goes into their bodies, and it is not uncommon that epidemics of cholera or typhoid fever sweep u great toll of lives each years In Hunan province the principal crop is rice, and each year a great amount of this basic Chinese food is exported to other parts of the empire. Almost fifty per cent. Os the farmers are tenants.. and their life is one of toil. Indirectly Mr. Whitener has been informed that the Reformed Mission at Yoehow City has been looted by loafers and others of the communist party, its contents either stolen or wrecked, and the homes in the city given the same treatment by the re belling troops and mauraders. For the present Mr. and Mrs. Whit ener are making no plans for then future work, pending upon the de velopments of the trouble in China. 11l the event conditions become settled, at least partly, Mr. and Mrs. Whiten er will like|y return to their post in Yoehow.

Considerable damage is being done to garden beans by the Mexican beetle, according to statement* by several iiersoiw to County Agent "It. D. Goodman. The agent gives the following remedy: To stop the ravages of the Mexi can beetle, dust the plants with cal cium arsenate, using one part of ansennte to nine parts of hydrated lime. The mixture must be dusted on the under side of the foliage to kill the bectlex. "Don't wait until the beetles have eaten up the crop" said Mr. Goodman, "before you start to I kill them.” At the present the adult beetle, the survivor of last year, is doing the damage to the bean crop, but it is only a matter of a few days until another young generation will do its damage. The latter will be fur great er Jlian the damage by the uUult. Mr Goodman stated. FUNERAL SERVICES FOR AGED MAN ARE HELD SUNDAY P. M. William G.
