C, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1955 ~~ jf NUMBER 23 The Month Piece Quote for today: "Plato, seeing a child do mischief in the streets, went forth and corrected his fath er for it. And this is the pattern of God’s judicial proceedings, for he visits the iniquities of the fath ers upon the children who imitate them, and the iniquities of the children upon the fathers who countenance and indulge them.”— J. Kitchen. Sunday is Father’s. Day, and 'in connection with the observance, the Rev. D. L. Fouts, pastor of the local Methodist church, has called attention to a story in the Christ ian Advocate for June 9, by Wil liam A. Ward, of Texas, which ev ery father ought to read. ; This story tells about how the father of Judas Iscariot must have felt, as he surveyed the Cross of Jesus Christ, and realized that he, himself, was actually the betrayer . of the Christ because he had, many ' •times in the past, betrayed his son, Judas! More 'and more local ladies are taking up the. sport of golf, and their game should get a lift now that a driving range has been open ed in this section of the state. To day, in Goldsboro, a driving range \ opens, at the intersection of the truck lane and the road which leads from Goldsboro to the state hospital, on the western edge of town. The range is open at night, also, ' and it will provide welcome rec reation for those of us who like to play golf, by giving us an op portunity to practice our shots un / der the lights, at a time of,day f when the heat will not be a great bother. ‘ What we started out to say was that now the ladies can persuade i their husbands to take them to the golf driving range for an hour’s practice, or so, instead of out to dinner, or some other expensive past-time. Catch on, husbands? ' fhe weatner nas Deen so cooi | this spring, and still is, when you . lake the time of year into consid eration, that a lot of the little Qiren who signed up for the ming lessons are finding it /to accomplish much, otiose attending the first lesson period this week said they shivered and shook so much the children had difficulty listening to their in structors. Coffee prices have come down -come recently. Whether they've come down enough to justify it or hot, we don’t know, but it’s our understanding that.five-cent coffee has returned to §ome of the lunch counters in Goldsboro,' and at least «je nationally-known news commentator is crusading for re turn of the nickel java. For anyone who loves their cof fee as much as we do, the jit java would be welcome news. Bootsie, the little tan rat terrier dog which the late Abb Pickett gave to our family about 12 years ago, died with a heart attack Wed nesday afternoon. Her death almost caused more than one funeral After all, even when an extreme ly aggravating bark, and nerve wracking whining to be turned in, suddenly ceases after 12 years, you iniM the hateful little old nice dog! Bootsie was conceited beyond all get-out, for a dog. She knew how to in her manner, and could ask for a drink of water, some thing to eat, to be turned in, or out, to go to bed, and a lot of other things. She was too dainty to eat scraps, and no human lady ever walker more carefully, on dirt, or in mud, than Bootsie did when you insisted she go out when the*, grass was wet or the ground muddy. ' When she worried you into let ting her have her way, she was just as smug and stuck up about the matter as any woman you ever saw, and could look at you just as haughty as any human, as much as if to say, “why didn’t you give in to start with, you knew you would, have to, sooner or later, anyhow!” She had sense enough to know, she mustn’t get in chairs, or lie on the divan, but she also had sense enough to know that if she did it, when all the family was away, there wouldn’t be anything done to her if the family came' bick and, taught her there. ' . '’one lady, that Bootsie Was! ® jit Bible Closes with Picnic The joint Bible school of the Goshen Methodist end Pentecostal Holiness churches closed last Fri day evening with a commencement program and picnic supper.

Mark Goforth, Jr., farm agent, said the insect is known as a Chinch bug and is small and black with a small white spot on the back. The spot later turns into white wings. This insect, he said, has been in small grain fields, but now that small grain is maturing and being harvested, it is moving into corn fields. Goforth said one can see the insect literally covering corn stalks, sucking the sap and causing the. corn to dry up rapidly. In the future, the farm agent said, farmers should avoid •plant ing grass crops adjoining to small grain fields. Corn and milo are considered as belonging to the grass family. \ Goforth said that if it is neces sary to plant corn in these areas next year the soil should be poison-j ed with 30 poynds of two and a half per cent Aldrin, two and a half per cent Heptachlor or five per cent Chlordane prior to planting. To give good control, the farm , agent continued, it will take 30 r pounds of dust per acre. Now that the insect is here, Go forth recommends that the infest ed area plus a few additional rows should be poisoned with insecti cides containing Nicotene^ Rote- j none, Sabadilla, DDT, Chlordane, Rotation Is Important to Tobacco Crop Dave Jernigan of the Grantham community has a good example of how important crop rotation is in tobacco, Clyde D. Peedin, assistant farm agent for Wayne county, de clared this week.' He said the Grantham fanner has a field where part of the land was in tobacco last year and the rest of the field was idle. This year the tobacco is much larger and better in the area that was idle than in the area where tobacco was grown last year and in pre vious years. Peedin said the tobacco has been yielding very good, 1,200 pounds per acre in the area where tobacco was not grown last year, but it does not look very promising ,in the area where tobacco was grown last year. From this demonstration Jerni gan plans to pay more attention to the rotation of> tobacco in fu ture years, the farm agent con cluded. Church History Is C. Y. F.
