Parker relative to the danger in making exhibits at the fair as somewhat unjust to the fair. Sometime ago there was a baby dress stolen, it was thought, by some one and the fair authorities prompt ly paid, the worth of to its owner. The authorities of the Coastal Plain Fair have for many years done thinf in their Dower to protect the exhibits and we know qf 1o other article than the baby dress that has ever disappeared. Not only have the fair authorities at each fair employed special police officers, but they always have on hand a force of special detectives, and at the last fair to our own knew ledge several pickpockets and thieves were picked up before they got off the train at Tarbero. Mr. Lfe Hargrove informed the Southerner yesterday that every pre caution possible has been made to safeguard every exhibit at the fair and no stone will be left unturned for the protection of those who send exhibits to tha fair. .

If you are subjected to boring mosquitoes a home remedy is offered which tests have proven is more effective than swatting and other methods of ex termination. When bothered in your bedroom at night, remove a screen from the window, place an electric fan inside the room about six feet from the window facing it, and turn on the current. The stiff breeze will draw the mos quitoes into its path and will be too strong for them to repel. They will be blown from the room and will be unable to fight their way back against the air current. In a short time the entire room will be cleared of the insects. This method was devised by a Western Electric engineer after hav ing watched the method UBed to re move the last traces of air from vac uum tubes used in radio. NEWS AROUND EPWORTH.

A North Carolina missionary, Miss Lelia Tut tle, who taught her in China, direct ed her here. Miss Yui speaks perfect English probably a great deal better than most of the people who are born to it. She is going to be a special stu dent in the School of Public Welfre this next year, but in 1923 she ex pects to register as a junior and take a regular course leading to graciua tion. "I was educated in the McTyeire School in Shanghai," said Miss Yui today. "It is a missionary institution conducted by the Southern Metho dists. Miss Tuttle told me - about North Carolina. Before I came to Chapel Hill J went with her to her home in enoir. After landing in this country I had gone to Rochester, Minn, ar.d Chicago, and at Lenoir, in the beautiful mountain county, I had a fine rest from my long trip." A friend of Miss Yui's, Miss Ky ung Shien Sung, was in the Univer sity summer school, and they looked forward to being together here this year. But Miss Sung decided at the last minute to go to Ohio Wesleyan, so that Miss Yui is left as the sole representative in Chapel Yill of the women of China.

But until the game was called all the players did their level best and these players had about as much real fun out of the game as the specta tors. Gammon one time Jried to get first base because he said he was hit by a pitched ball, but Earnhardt said i was not so and so Gammon laugh ed out loud. Whenever a player made a good play he was applauded and whenever he made a bungle everybody laughed and he too so altogether-it was the most laughable game that the Tar boro people ever witnessed. And there was a good crowd pres ent. The receipts approximated fifty dollars or more, but with little ex pense to come out. While the specttews got their mon ey's worth the reWp'ts will go for good cause. In Vall the receipts for all the gam,, MH go to the Ki- Mil nia educational .ttwd, iFACTS ABOUT BOLL WEEVIL. ITS HABITS They came into the United Spates, near Brownsville, Texas, in 1892. Their progress has been steady; and, following the line of the cotton belt generally northeastward. He has been found and identified on the county line, between Speed and Hobgood, on the lower edge of the county, and at Whitakers, on the super line. That does not prove that he is now in every field of every farm, but it does mean that the coun ty will be classed as boll-weevil ter ritory from now on. From all their past history, you may expect them to remain as long as cotton is grown here. They do not relinquish conquored territory. They have four stages of existence namely, egg, grub, pupa and adult. They carry over winter, only in the adult form. They eat nothing but the cotton plant. They deposit their eggs only with in the "bracts" or guard leaves near the square,, which also includes the blossom and boll. The adults eat very little, so the damage from that source is of little concern. Her business is to lay from 50 to 203 eggs. So it may be seen that depredations do not begin till the first squares appear. She is anxious for place to lay; and so punctures the square, near the base of what would be the blossom and there lays an egg. The grub hatches in about A nays, ana neginsi to eat. In about 17 days more, it is! mther- grown, weevil and ready to lay. They prefer squares, but as tic squares get scarce, the attack young bolls. In fact, any bolls that are not too hard to puncture. Perhaps you are now ready to ask, Can we never grow cottorf again? Yes, but you will never again grow so much cotton, so cheaply, by the same methods. Now if you ate going to hold any of this article against me, please re member all three points in my an swer. If you are interested for further information; there are two bulletins that carry the last word of what is known about boll weevil, and its con trol. They are Farmers Bulletin No. 12H2, V. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, The Boll Weevil Problem, and Farming Under Boll Weevil Conditions, which can be fur nished by Mr. Franklin Sherman, the state entomologist, Raleigh, . N. C. They are both free, while the supply holds out. ZKNO MOORK.

In June, 10 10, the writer was in w ataua county and made an early morning pilgrimage to a tiny wood- ' en building beside one of the clear little streams so numerous in this high mountain world, the supreme leauty spot of all North Carolina. The little building was the first .corn- mereM c.h(.(,(,e factory south of the state of Pennsylvania and is located on Cove Creek. There the milk was e nming in, while a good woman, own er of many Vattle, remarked, "This i the first milk I ever saw bought in Watauga." Seven years have passed since that day and remarkable things have been 1 accomplished. Now Watauga has ten Cheddar cheese factories in opera tion, and one Swiss cheese factory, the latter being the first one estab lished, alluded to above. The county in the past 12 months has handled in these factories 1,293,600 pounds of raw milk, and has turned out 129,350 pounds of cheese. Three of the facto-'.', vies are at present idle. If all those in the county, operated and idle were run to their full capacity they can handle f!,:il 2,000 pounds of milk and give an output of (59j,000 pounds of cheese. The amount of money received for theese produced in Watauga in 1921 was $25,870, and the amount possi ble to he received if all were in ope ration at full capacity is $138,240. The average yield is ten pounds of cheese to one hundred pounds milk; the average price paid for milk is 11 cents a gallon; the average price received for Cheddar: cheese is 20 cents a pound. There are over thirty factories in the state, of which sixteen are now in operation, Alleghany county hav ing seven, and Haywood one of those at work. The types of cows are Hol stein, Jersey, Shorthorn and Dur ham. The Holstein is found to be the best cow for this country. ! The manufacture of Swiss cheese did not begin until this year and 23 of the cheeses have been made, with an average weight of one hundred pounds. In the manufacture of these 16,750 pounds of milk were used and the farmers were paid 20 cents a gal lon for it. This cheese sells readily at 41 cenas a pound and the testa have shown it to be equal to the best cheese produced in Switzerland. Onei hundred pounds of milk produces on ly seven and a half pounds of this cheese. The state and the United States are cooperating heartily in promoting thj cheese industry.' . . . i - Aj OURROW -y-r tr1 v?
