Mr. McGee at the request of the County Agent and while here made plains for conduct ing tests of fertilizers for tobac co on the farms of Mr. Wiley Roberts in the Little Pine sec tion, that of Mr. R. A. Edwards, in the Mars Hill section, and on the farm of Mr. J. B. McDevitt up brush creek, vv iuie because of the late arrival of the county aeent in the county this work has been 'undertaken at a late date it is hoped that some in formation regarding the prop er fertilizer for tobacco may be obtained. THE BEAN BEETLE The Mexican bean beetle, which-caused so much trouble last season, has made his ap pearance again, i nis insect is the most destructive one to growing beans. He is a small, nearly round, brown beetle, with eight black spots on each wine, three in frount three in the middle, and two at the rear. Tne larva is yellow or orange in color and is covered with one spines. Both young and old feed from three underside of the leaf. AH stages of the insects are found in the field from April to late in the fall. In the winter the adult seeks preferably the woodlands near the fields, hiding under pine needles and leaves, singly or in erouns. A good many winter in and about the rubbish and plant remains in the garden or field. Of the different methods of control, spraying has given the best results. A mixture of calcium arsenate , 3-4 ounce, 1 1-2 ounces lime and three gal- ons of water is recommended. This must be applied to the un- de side of the leaf and at inter vals of seven to ten days; start spraying when' the eggs of the beetle become numerous. There is practically no dan ger from the consumption of the sprayed beans and rinsing twice in clear water assures ab solute safety. Farmers Bulletin No. 1407 gives full information about the Bean Beetle. reasons of self-interest than for any other. Then maybe it's an attempt to curry favor by that cheapest and mushiest of a means flattery. But what ever the cause, the fact re mains that when it romes to the agricultural press and the country weekly, there . is no basis whatever for jealousy or antagonism. Each has its pe culiar field as well as its indi vidua! opportunity The country weekly under businesslike management that is ably edited has a type of op portunity for service that can: not be duplicated by. any oth er publication. The- agricul tural press has nothing to . do with xne promotion Of loca enterprise as such. Nor is the aericultural paper interested so directly in either local poli tics, or local, civic, or socia matters. With reference to all of these problems the coun try weekly has a field all its own. How well the field of any paper is occupied cf course depends altogether on how thoroughly that paper itself tries' to occupy it. So in point of actual fact, the agncultura paner does not intenere in me least iWitli the country week ly's opportunity, Tnere is pernaps no Deer way to state our attitude than to say that it is our conviction that no-farmer of any county should try to get along without his favorite local paper nor should he-attempt tb do with out his agricultural paper. ; As stated already, each mm inters in a peculiar way to his needsrTne one supplements the other. Each, therefore is nec essarrfto thai full understand inor of local problems and op portunities and to tnat complete knowledge:' eve.ry iarmer should? iSaY of the larger as welLfas m6rs intimate phases lisher of the county weekly feel otherwise is an enemy to both, consequently to society as a whole. Feeling as we do, it is our wish to see the country weekly prosper. Southern Kuraiist.

Why, we don't know. Mayhap it is more for SDlendid short courses and club encampments h".ve been arranged for club boys and girls in North Carolina by the lists of State College. But now the mother is to be recognized and will have a short course strictly of" her own. It will be held at the College in Raleigh during the summer school and will last for one week begin ning June 15 and closing on June 20. The school will be un der the direction of Mrs. Jane S.

However.vthey haven't play ed very much this spring on ac count of so many difficulties to them. Smallpox; mumps, chickenpox, and, flu have been raging in the school. The boys always go off with a smile when they get beat in a game. They always cheer for-the other team .no matter how bad they are beat. They have been very sorry since they lost , their pitcher, Hardie Brown. . He took the mumps. He has been sick, for over three weeks. - After he thought he was well, he got out and started V back to school, but had to take his bed again. He is our famous pitcher. He can swerve them by when oth ers can't. He is the only reg' ular pitcher they have. He is also a hard slugger as well as a good pitcher. They can al always rely on him for a safe hit or even a home run. The girls call him second Babe Ruth although he hasn't got any homeruns this spring, but he would if he had been able to play in all the games. He got six homeruns last fall out of seven games. He also pitched a double-header last fall and won both games aginst the players are as follows: John Gordner, lb; Vernon Stanton, 2b; Gordon Roberts, 3b; Forest Hoyle, rf; Hoy Cuthbertson, cf ; Otha Dawson, If; James Coatch, c; Hardie Brown, p. The team hates to part for the vacation, for four of them will not be back. Hardie Brown was planning a trip to Atlantic City. New Jersey, and from thereto De troit, Mich., where jie will work for the rest of the summer. SUPERIOR COURT PROCEEDINGS Madison County Superior Court convened on the 25ht with Hon Jas. L.
