Last year at this same time the condition was 71 per Cent of normal or 12 per cent higher then at the same time this year. The normal yield per acre this date would be 364 pounds of lint but the condition of 59 per cent shows the yield to be 208.8 pounds lint per acre.

This caused the plants to yellow and shed their bolls to a great extent. It re mains to be seen just to what extent the boll weevil will damage the crop. It is reported in the most intensive area that the pests are on the in crease. It cannot be said, however, that fanners are not on the job for they report a very small per eentage of abandoned cotton to this data. One man says "Much of the cotton that has been carefully cultivated in this locality is an absolute failure although it has not been abandoned. ? Warning Prevented Looses. I ?

Greensboro, Aug. 26.?"Loafing on the highways is another form of amusement that deserves attention," stated C. W. Roberts, vice president of the Carolina Meter Club, yester day. Mr. Roberts pointed out that cars traveling at no more than 15 miles an hour in heavy, traffic were holding up those who wished to make the trip on business. "Seme were doing this Sunday on the road be tween Greensboro and High Point," said Mr. Roberts* "and. were holding up *very. one else. A few were just "jaunting"'while others were court ing couples who could not drive fast with one haqd and naturally drove slowly. Others were driving slow be cause they were not competent to drive faster, and should have been on some country road learning. "Loafing on the highways is the direct cause of many accidents and smash ups that axe generally charged against speeding. With heavy traffic on the road the string of cars follow ing a courting couple will be forced to speed up at considerable rate to get around. He is taking a chance. This is a violation of {he law and we respectfully call this to the attention of. officers as a -direct violation of the.law." sins IIS itnit twiner Beadent is Very Enthn ; sisetio^Writss the Nev Bern . .nf Cowworee# business for many years in Texas, and ether western states.
