SHOULD BE STOPPED AT ONCE RALEIGH, Feb. B.—"Mature men •■d women stand little chance of con tracting tuberculosis by drinking milk from infected cows but investigations show that It li transmissable to chil dren," lays Dr. William Morre, state vetinarian. "Pure milk," he contin ues, "is.the moat complete food for - children and they should have more of it, but at the aame time, we should be able to guarantee them immunity from a dread disease when we do encourage them to drink it" Therefore Dr. Moors considers the testing of dairy cattle for tuberculosis - to be one of the moat important pieces of work being conducted by his de partment Cooperating with the fed eral department of agriculture and several counties, the veterinarians tested 7,445 cattle with 168 reactors facted. In 1920, 10,389 cattle with in 1919. This was two per cent in- M 9 reactors were tested. This was just about two per cent also. In 1921 28,402 cattle were tested with 886 reactors showing a decrease to about 1.4 per cent of diseased stock. Last year, 101,271 cattle were tested and 792 were found with the disease. This is a further decrease to below one per cent. Eighteen counties are cooperating to carry on this work and active test iftg ia being done in ten at present The counties are spending about ISO,- 000, the state department of agricu ture about $12,000 and the l'ederul tie pertinent about f4o,(xu. li. each ci»> to get the farme. to have lis .u.u teste J a small indemnity no. tot e ceed |26 for grade cattle and |6O lo pure bred ia paid where the anima f U found to'have tuberculo is and i killed. The department BOW has on han claims amounting to over f~,O 0 ihm cannot be paid because the sU«c . propriation has been exha U This means the federal xu .d; an also being held up until the state " get sufficient money ta ke«.p toe W« • going forward. Dr. Moore is conn dent that the people are e. ger to have , this work continued not only for t!. economic saving ox the cattle concern ed but *l3O for the health in urawa it gives the babies of today and to morrow.

The state will pave 16 feet and the! town and property owners will pay for > of sreet and side walk jointly. This paving will not have to be paid for immediately, by the property owners, but will be paid in install ments through a period of years there fore will not be burdensome.

The American Cigarette Foreign Sales Gaining The world will hair the American cigarette. It bought 12JX)Q.OOO,0OO of them in 1922 against slightly more than 2jt00.000.000 in the year pre ceding the war, and the number of countries to which they were in is HO against SO in 191 S. - The total value of the exports of cigarettes in 1922 is approximately S24JMO,QOO ag-1 gainst less than S3J)OOjQOO in the year j preceding the war. Curiously, too this growing demand | 4ir our cigarettes comes chiefly from ' a section far distant from that in winch the war occurred—the Orient. To China eleue the exports of cigar-1 Ottes ia 1922 were ag -last MIjDOOJMO ia 1912. and tha aum sent to us ia payment therefor from I China alone was |ITjNOjOni again t fIjtWOJIOO in 1912. Of coarse, there aras a large ex portatten of cigorettes to Europe' dur ing the amr period, especially to Bel gium. France and Italy, but the sales to that continent have greatly fallen off since the cfa*e of the war. while those to the Oneat have gone on in creasing their demands. The straits settlements, which dis tribute its imports to all parts of the Orient, took in 1922 over a billion of our cigarettes, and Hong Kong that ' semis most of its imports into Chi na. took about COOjOOOjOOO in 1»22 ag ' ainst 536J000 ia the year preceding the | war. Siam also shows a growing taste I for the American cigarette ami our i 'exports to that country in 1922 arel more than double those of the im-1 mediately preceding year. India, how-' I ever, has materially reduced her de-1 mand, while Japan is apparently not I addicted to the American cigarette! habit, tor our total exports to that j country are extremely small and show j little disposition to increase. That the "habit"* of the American! cigarette ia aot only a growing on.

ESTABLISHED MM THE BOLL WEEVIL INJURY EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT HERE PREDICTED TO BE LIGHT DAM AGES IN THIS SECTION FOR YEAR 1923 RALEIGH, Feb. B.— All of the area north of a line drawn through from Hickory in Catawba county to Salis bury in Rowan, across to Raleigh in Wake and to Washington iv. Belhav en in Beaufort and straight through Hyde county to the coast was first invaded by boll weevils in 1922 and is due for only light injury thi* year, says Franklin Sherman of the division of entomology, N. C. Extension ser v if*?. Mr. Sherman says that the in jury will be heavier near the aad to the eastward, but it, will be in ISM before this section wil Ibe seriously hurt and that the cotton nay— has this one other chance to mate nearly a full crop of cotton if he uaas goad cultural methods and picks up the fall en squares. I The heavy damage of 1923 will be south of the line mentioned. West t of a line from Monroe to Raleigh tba cotton farmers will lose from 10 to ,\ 20 per cent of their crop, with heavier loss to the south. Here good cul tural methods, vieking ssoares once each weil to the end of July and i j use of the dust poison in the mow 1 heavily infested areas should be prac ticed. West of a line Asm I.umberton to C.reenville, the injury will probably run between 20 to SO per cent, and east of this line the injury will be from 30 to 60 percent. On the neat side, good cultural methods should ha practiced to the fullest extent and tba dust method use. East of this fine, though the fanners do not depend so greatly on cotton, they should mate still further reductions ia acreage aad fight the weevil for the remaining ac reage by using the dust Method, bet- ' ter seed, better cultivation and fertik sktion and pick the fallen squares and burn them. Mr. Sherman will be glad to furnish information about the boll weevil to any fanner who will write him at Raleigh or who will call at his ofica He states that now is the ..time to make preparation for fightin/pthe east and the farmer should infor mhimself correctly about the Ifest methods. . .
