Sneeze held Windsor to six blows, while the Rocks I TO CLOSE LATER I \, Business houses and stores in Plymouth will close each Satur day night at 10 o’clock. Thus an extra hour has been added to the closing hour as heretofore since the inauguration of the NRA they have been closing at 9 o’clock. The merchants agreed to this at a meeting held this week. It was determined that the earlier closing hour was too early to close their stores in consideration of the late ness of the hour when the work ers finished their daily task. LOOK FOR MANY BOLL WEEVILS IN COTTON CROP -<j> Weather Conditions Said To Be Favorable For Heavy Infestation ——<8 North Carolina cotton growers are being warned by C. H. Brannon, ex tension entomologist at State College, to prepare for fighting boll weevils extensively this summer. If the wet weather continues, he said, weevil infestations will be heavy this month and in August. In states farther south the damage is expected to be even greater than in North Carolina. For this reason, Brannon urged growers to poison the weevils when they appear so as to raise their full cotton allotments and be in position to take advantage of the anticipated price increases later in the year. There is need for a close watch on the crop all through the season. A crop apparently free from weevils at first may be completely ruined later on if there is enough wet weather to favor their growth. One pair of weevils can produce 12,500,000 de scendants in a single season. When the squares begin to form, j weekly examinations should be made of the squares on the plant so that a close check can be kept on what the weevils are doing. Do not wait un til the squares have fallen to the ground. At the first sign of appreciable in festation—when 10 percent of the .squares are infested—dusting should be started and repeated as often as necessary. Full instruction may be obtained free from the State College office of publications in the circular, “Dusting for Boll Weevil Control.” SUPERIOR COURT STARTS MONDAY -® First Three Days Will Be For Trial of Criminal Cases -® Washington County Superior Court will convene here Monday for a one week term of civil and criminal cases, with W. A. Devin, of Oxford, presid ing. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be devoted to the organization of the court and to disposition of the criminal issue docket.

She and her mother lived here for years with the late David Brinkley. The young lady was a dependent and had been since birth. Her father was Eckert Brinkley, who died some years ago. Her mother still resided here in the old Brinkley home on Main Street. Burial took place in Norfolk. Her demise was expected, as her mother had been attending her and knew that she was gradually growing worse. pounded Morris for 11 bingles. Jester with two hits led Windsor, while D. Morris, M. Morris, and Scully hit safely twice each for Plymouth. Ahoskie handed Plymouth a 3 to 1 tanning Monday, with Booth on the mound. This is the first time out of five tries that he ever conquered Ply mouth. Sneeze pitched seven innings, allowing only four hits. Corbitt hit a homer with Stark aboard to score two runs for the visitors. Sneeze scored the only run for Plymouth and counted two hits to lead at bat. I FARMERS CLUB AT CRESWELL IS RATED HIGH Ranked in Eleventh Place For District 2; C. H. Rabon Teacher -<j> Creswell.—The Creswell chapter of the Young Tar Heel Farmers Club, under the supervision of C. H. Rabon, head of the department of vocational agriculture in the Creswell High School, ranks in eleventh place in the 34 schools in district 2 for 1933-34. When Mr. Rabon came down to this school about three years ago, he found it down at the bottom of the list almost. Since then he has built it up to eleventh place, and it is be lieved by officials that if he continues ! at this school, the local chapter will get a much higher ranking next year. | The chart showing his records as made up by the extension department of State College at Raleigh shows the Creswell school has an enrollment of 59 in this work, and points out that these boys had a total grade of 1270, with the highest in the group ' being 1533 and the lowest 572. The score follows: Supervised prac ' tice 381; farm shops 100 prepara-' tion for instruction 181; cooperative I buying and selling 110; publicity 50; I improvements 50; Young Tar Heel Farmers organization interest 80; re ports 92; physical equipment 92; act ing advisory committee 75. Mr. Rabon has just returned from Raleigh, where he attended the annual , conference of teachers of vocational agriculture at State College, and he ! intends to use instruction and infor mation that he gathered at the meet ing to build up his class of boys in rating in the state. While in Raleigh he heard discussed such matters as the following: Deni- i onstration evening class procedure on . cotton control and Bankhead law; the j tobacco adjustment program; the AA record book; farmers’ cooperative exchange; rural rehabilitation; soil erosion program; the AAA program in state; and the farm credit admin istration program. CAN ABUSE USE 1 OF FERTILIZER -»- i When Properly Used, Com mercial Fertilizers Pay Good Dividends -* Properly used, commercial fertiliz ers pay good dividends in North Carolina, but there are some abuses which should be corrected. The North Carolina Experiment Station is pos sibly a leader in research investiga tions with the use of fertilizers onj different soils and with different crops and some interesting lacts have been developed in the past sev eral years. For each dollar invested in fertil izer for cotton, the net profit was in creased by amounts ranging from j $2.04 to $4.41, said C. B. Williams, head of the agronomy department at | N. C. State College, and there are not phenomenal showings. Tobacco has shown even greater returns. At the Reidsville branch station farm, 800 pounds of 4-8-0 mixture costing $12.00 increased the yield 424 pounds and the profits by $133.07. The best growers, he said, spend1 $0 to $10 an acre for fertilizer on j cotton, $12 to $18 on tobacco, and $20 to $40 on truck crops. The in-1 creased profit from the land far out-' weighs the cost of fertilization. The main question is not whether fertilizer will pay, but what types of fertilizer are needed. The soil should be studied and the climate and the1 variety of seed considered in determ ining what Utilization is best. Care should also be taken to apply the fertilizer in the proper manner to se cure the best results. Williams said that a big mistake i many farmers have made is in de pending upon commercial fertilizers altogether to keep their soil in good condition. Soil productivity can be maintained best when a system of crop rotation is used, with plenty of leguims being plowed back into the soil from time to time. He also said that poor results arc obtained when fertiliber is put on land not prepared to receive it and not protected from erosion. -s Funeral Held Saturday For Mrs. Alice L. Ayers -$-— Funeral Funeral services were held here last Saturday for Mrs. Alice L. Ayers, who died Friday evening at the age of 82 years. The final rites were held in the Christian church, with Rev. Gilbert Davis officiating. Burial took place in the family ceme tery near Plymouth. Mrs. Ayers is survived by a son, Lee Newberry, and other relatives of this county. She was a staunch and loyal member of the Christian church and came from one of the oldest and at one time one of the most influen tial families in this county.

REVIEW SHOWS LAWS OF GREAT IMPORT PASSED -s Legislation At Recent Ses sion of Congress Affects High and Low -® One of the most far-reaching pro grams of legislation affecting nearly every known business in the country, and one that was designed in record instances for the “forgotten man” was concluded in the nation’s capital re cently when the 73rd Congress ended its session. The effects of the vast legislation program will reach to this and nearly every other community in the entire nation, and while the re sults may not prove perfect, it is cer tain that President Roosevelt and many of the legislators have made an earnest effort to further the interest of the masses. A review shows many acts were passed in the interest of agriculture, the oppressed, the hungry, and the general business set-up of the nation. The acts that attract more attention in this immediate section center a round agriculture, and while they might appear radical they were de signed with the aim to accomplish what the farmers have failed to ac complish by voluntary cooperation. The Bankhead Cotton Bill and the Kerr Tobacco Control Bill, calling for compulsory control of the two crops, are foremost in the agricultural program. Relief of owners of mort gaged farms, and other benefits were created in special acts. Other bills that affect the people right here include changes in tax lev ies, the government lowering the cost for the small-salaried man. Two and one-half billions of dollars were ap propriated for the relief of the less fortunate. Aid was made possible tor home owners, and the banks were made safe. Veterans had their com pensation restored, and money was shifted by the gold act and silver was established as a monetary reserve to deflate an expensive dollar. These and many other bills were passed in an effort to aid a recovery program, and when the work was completed the President was declared more popular than he was in the 1932 election.

C. Arps and StellWin In Vote Saturday GIVES RULINGS ON CHILD LABOR I Children Selling Articles Under Supervision of Parents Unlawful -« i Below are excerpts from a letter written to Mrs. \V. C. Brewer, sup erintendent of public welfare of Wash ington County, by A. L. Fltecher, of Raleigh, commmissioner of the depart ment of labor of North Carolina: j “Many of you have written that I manufacturers and jobbers claim that i they make no sales to children but sell to adults, who use their own chil dren to do the selling. This is a sub terfuge and nothing more. Report to the department of labor the names and addresses of all of these concerns, and i we will deal with them. I “Your job is to stop the children from working, no matter who is em 1 ploying them. Ask your local offi cers to investigate every children sell ing on the streets and stop every one who does not hold a permit from you. "It is unlawful for parents to put their children to work on the streets ■ or in their places of business with out working permits. "Boys over 12 may be employed , within the restrictions of the law to ! do street sales of newspaper, maga zines, and other merchandise. Such boys must secure a “permit for news t carriers and street sales” and "street sales badges" from you (Mrs. Brewer. , “Boys over 14 may be employed as newspaper carriers on fixed routes. Street sales ebconte commercialized When sales are supervised by even a local concern or any organization.” SAYS SIDE DRESS EARLY FOR BEST COTTON OR CORN I Advice Is Result of Experi ments Made by Extension Service Specialists -— Best results will be obtained when corn and cotton are side-dressed early, according to the results of experiments made by the agronomy department of the North Carolina experiment station at Raleigh. Both of these crops absorb most of the nitrogen used in the production | of seed during the early period of the plant’s development. Usually corn should be side-dressed when knee high and cotton at the time of the | first or the second cultivation aftef ! chopping. | Many fanners have been misled by the fact that late applications of ni ! trogen are effective in increasing the | yield and color of stover, but this does not mean that the maximum yield of | grain is obained. I Late applications of nitrogen to cot ton increase the growth of the plant, j hut delay the maturity of the boll, | both of which need to be avoided , when boll weevils are present. If a good growth of legumes has been turned under before planting the corn, the amount of side dressing need ed will be much less. In the case of cotton and some other crops, the side dressing may be omitted entirely if the crop follows a good legume turned under. Furthermore, if the amount of land i the grower has in cotton is going to I produce without side dressing, all the 1 poundage he will beallowcd, then no nitrogen should be added to the soil. On light lands 100 to 125 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre will pro vide all the side dressing needed un der average normal conditions. From 75 to 100 pounds per acre is enough for sandy loam soils. Heavy sandy loams, clays, and similar soils require only 50 to 75 pounds to the acre. Only readily soluble forms of ni trogen should be usrd, such a> ni trate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, leunasalpeter, calurea, calnitro, urea, j and other inorganic sources of nitro | gen. j Can Prevent Onion Flavor In Milk, It has Been Found -$ The onion flavor in milk can be prevented. This flavor is caused by wild onions or garlic consumed by the cows on pasture ami can be pre vented by simply removing the cows from the pasture for a few hours be fore each milking. Experiments have shown that the flavor remains in the milk for a minimum of six hours aft er the onions are eaten and it is therefore necessary that the animals be taken off pasture at least six hours before they are milked. They should be put up in a lot and given a small amount of dry roughage im mediately. RECOUNT MADE TUESDAY BY OWENS DEMAND Stell Leads Owens by 15 Votes; Arps Won By Majority of 17 -® After a recount of the votes here on Tuesday, the Washington County Board of Elections declared that E. G. Arps was the Democratic nomi nee f r treasurer and Harry Stell was the nominee for representative to the North Carolina General Assembly in the November election. Edward L. Owens, defeated candi date for the nomination as representa tive, demanded a recount of the votes here Tuesday. His opponent being notified Monday, demanded that the ballot boxes be impounded and kept safe from contamination until the sec ond count w'as made. Only one error was found in the counting, and that was in Lees Mills Township, where Owens was the strongest. It was found that 2 votes should be thrown out that were count ed for Mr. Owens. This gave Mr. Stell a majority fo 15 votes, while Mr. Arps defeated bis opponent by onlv 17 votes. A total of 1,445 votes were cast, which is more than was at first pre dicted. It is always harder and more expensive to the second-primary as pirants to get the electorate to cast their ballots than at any other time. This was one of the heaviest votes for a second primary remembered here.
