I’he club solidly backed Charlie
Picquet in his proposition to secure a
special train for the Sandhill boosters
to the State Fair, and will undertake
at once to sell tickets enough to fill
the train and make it a success. Tic
kets will be offered at Vass and those
who want to go up on that train, run
ning through without stop avove
Moore county, will be asked to take
tickets for this special train and help
to ^ve prominence to the Sandhills at
the State Fair. Further announce
ments of this train will be made later.
TOBACCO MEN HEAR
SENATOR SMITH
(Continued from page 1)
One thing he pressed on the minds
of his audience is the necessity of
more clear thinking on the part of the
farmer. Too much hokum is fed out
to the farmers, and too much of it is
accepted as fact, when a little intelli
gent thought would dispose of much
of the stuff presented to the farmer
and accepted by him. In these days of
a multiplicity of books and papers any
man can be well informed, and any
intelligent man can think for himself
and weigh the subjects brought before
him, and when the time comes that
men are more disposed to inquire into
the truth of what is set before them
and act for themselves on their own
intelligent judgment all men will get
forward faster and farther.
But one thing Senator Smith assur
ed the crowd, and that is that in this
day of mass action no man can get
very far in any direction unless he is
going along with the rest of the crowd
or acting with enough others to ac
complish a forceful movement. In spite
of the rain the meeting was a big suc
cess, and it impressed the farmers
who were on hand.

mouthful.

assist in the merry-making with his

PRERARE STORAGE HOUSE
FOR SWEET POTATOES
“It will soon be time to harvest the
sweet potato crop and preparations
should be made in advance to properly
care for it. Many of the larger grow
ers now use modern sweet potato
storage houses. If this house has been
used before it should be thoroughly
cleaned before storing the potatoes,”
says Robert Schmidt, Assistant Hor
ticulturist for the State Colege Ex
periment Station.
Directions for doing this are given
by Mr. Schmidt as follows: First, dis
infect the house by spraying the floor
and walls with a solution of formal
dehyde—one pint of 40 per cent for-
mallin to 25 gallons of water—or
with a solution made by dissolving
one pound of copper sulphate in 25
gallons of water. It is advisable to
spray a second time about 24 hours
later. Then start the fires and dry the
house. All crates or other containers
which have been used before shuold
be thoroughly disinfected.
Storage in crates is preferable to
storage in bins because it permits of
more ventilation and of greater con
veniences in handling. Ventilated slat
barrels can also be used to advantage.
“Order your crates now, get your
storage house ready and avoid delays
at digging time,” says Mr. Schmidt.
“Information on curing and storing
sweet potatoes may be obtained by
writing to the Division of Horticul
ture, State College Extension Service,
Raleigh, N. C.”
AUTOMOBILE RACES AT
THE SANDHILL FAIR
WEATHER GIVES
COTTON JOLT
The rainy weather has given cot
ton a hard jolt. Much of it is rotting
in the field, some sprouting, and the
other stalks the life has been taken
out, and it is drying in the boll, and
going bad all along the line. W. P.
Davis, who has twenty-ifve acres that
should have given a good crop had a
few stalks in The Pilot office Wed
nesday, which were as nearly epitome
of ruin as anything in the cotton line
could be. George Ross, of the Divis
ion of Markets, says the crop in the
state hardly promises more than forty
per cent yield. Wilton McLean, seen
on the train Tuesday, says that down
his way he does not remember a crop
that has so badly deteriorated. In
the Sandhills the situation is still as
good as any place, but that is not very
consoling when all seems to be not
very promising.
BUSTER KEATON AT
CAROLINA THEATERS
He comes to the Sandhills this Fri
day and Saturday, accompanied by
Lloyd (Ham) Hamilton and the two
of them will make it very unpleasant
for those who do not like to laugh.
Seeing Buster attempt to play sol
itaire with a deck of soaking wet
playing cards is worth the price of
admission to “The Navigator”.
But that isn’t the only laugh of the
picture by any means. A big surprise
is the fact that the title does not
designate this whimsicle comedian—its
the name of the ship. And what a
ship! If you can imagine an exceed
ingly dumb young man of the Keaton-
ish variety adrift in mid-ocean on a
steamship with a very pretty girl—and
one who has refused to marry him at
that—perhaps you can see the many
possibilities for riotuous fun.
Space forbids telling the many am
using features of “The Navigator”.
You will laugh when you see Buster’s
first appearance, and you will scream
when he boards the ship, unmindful
of the fact that he is the only one on
it—until the girl arrives.
You will laugh at the culinary
methods of these two, and you will
get a real thrill when Buster goes
under sea in a diving suit to try to
mend a leak in the ship* But it is un
fair to tell everything/ Suffia^ it
to say that “The, Nawi^sator”
ably the funniest comedy Buster has
Probably the one question that has
been asked the most times in the past
two or three weeks was whether there
would be automobile races at the
Sandhill Fair this year.
It has been discussed all over the
Sandhills when someone would start a
rumor that there would be and some
one else would kill it by stating that
there wouldn’t be. Now the whole
thing can be set at rest by the an
nouncement that there will be automo
bile races, and that there will also be
auto polo.
On top of that announcement also
can be added the assurance that this
year’s races will be better than last
year’s. Yes, that same assurance has
been forthcoming about every feature
this year and each time the assurance
is founded on fact, and will be backed
up with the goods.
The Sandhill Fair has a bunch of
the best dirt track drivers in Ameri
ca and more of them than last year,
and we’ll gamble that they will be a
great deal more interesting to the lay
man than the speedway races, because
one is a real race and the other is a
matter of laps and time.
The All-American and All-Canadian
auto polo teams will battle it out with
the same dare-devil recklessness of
fences, cars and anything else in their
path to the goal.
More details of the races will be
published later, but the day of the au
tomobile races and auto polo games
will be Tuesday, October 28th, start
ing at 3:00 p. m.

EXTENSION SPECIALISTS

agricultural problems by the exten

various districts and counties. Teams
will come from each district and will
give demonstrations showing how
club work is conducted and from
these teams will be determined the
State prize winers.
Mrs. Jane N. McKimmon, in charge
of the Woman’s building, will have a
lavish display of work being done by
rural women. In the livestock depart
ment, indications point toward the
greatest number of entries yet on re
cord and Prof. R. S. Curtis states that
at present this department is one of
the most promising features of the
fair. In the department of field crops
which includes the individual farm,
community and county exhibits. Prof.

exhibits have already been entered and
and that ther will be keen competition.
The poultry department will also be
