The annual meeting of the Cape
Fear Council for Boy Scouts was held
in Lumberton on last Friday night,
with a good representation present.
The operating budget was present
ed and approved, and adopted for
the year. Community Chests iii Fay
etteville and Wilmington will slow
up the'finances from these two cen
ters, so the president of the Council
was authorized to borrow up to $1,-
000.00 to meet current needs should
not enough funds be in hand to pay
alll obligations. The treasurers re
port showed thati the ocuncil would
close the year with a little riest-egg
on hnad for the new year.
Fifty-seven troops in the council
took part in the short term camps
and 43 troops took part in the long
term camps.
The council reported 82 active
troops with 1535 ^couts and 450 scout-
ers, which is a nice gain over last
year. There are 11 cub packs with
176 cubs There was a decrease in
the number of “Boy’s Life” subscrip
tions.
The Advancement chart showed
that since January of this year there
were 147 Second Class, 73 First Class,
43 Star, 26 Life and 14 Eagles. Merit
badges amounted to 915. Twelve re
ceived the Bronze Palm, six the Gold
Palm, five the Silver Palm, and one
the Silver-Gold aim.
A new ruling affecting local scout
work was with reference to the courts
of honor. The chairman of the troop
appointment was made by Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., and he will be assigned to the
staff of Charles H. Robertson of
Greensboro, collector of internal rev
enue and chief of th estate’s war
savings organization.
Mr. Mfacham will continue to make
his home in Raleigh where he has
been since giving up his position as
county agent of Hoke County. He
is one of the most efficient and best
liked of all the officials Hoke has
had since the county was created.
c;{Ui^ttees pf toe tooal troop xtow be-
ci»» a member of the Court of
Hcmor, and as such, he can conduct a
court for his local troop at any time
the troop meets the odnditioui, pro
vided he has two other scoutcav pres-
ehtj to set up a court of thrm. This
will be explained in detail to mem
bers of the Western District at the
executive committee meeting called
after the Court of Honor in Laurel
Hill on Friday night.
President Foley announced that the
Government was now making a spe
cial offer to Scouts of toe use of toe
CCC camps where the conditions
could be met, and the property would
be properly cared for. Details wiU

Farm Questions
Q. What is the difference in the
value of a bale of middling and low
middling cotton?
A. J. A. Shanklin, extension cotton
specialist of N. C. State College, says
that a grower of cotton that measured
11-8 inches staple length would lose
I a lone value of 24.50 if the grade was
■ reduced from middling to low mid
dling because of poor picking. Most
of the cottton grown in North Caro
lina staples one inch or better, and
grade is a very important factor in
determining the value of the longer
staples.
Q. Will there be any cattle shows
this fall^ in view of the fact that
the State Fair and other event? of
this nature have been cancelled?
A. Yes. A show and sale of 4-H
Baby Beef Club members and voca
tional agricultural students in Eastern
Carolina will be held on the State
College campus in Raleigh Oct. 13
and 14. L. I. Case, extension ani'

Destroy Cottmi
Stalks After Picking
For years, early destruction of cot
ton stalks, as a boll weevil control
measure, has been advocated by suc
cessful growers and insect specialists
of the State College Extension Service.
This season, the need is more im
perative than in some years past.
J. Myron Maxwell, extension en-
is in charge of the event and the
N. C. BankersV Association is co-op
erating to supply the premium money
through member banlb in the area.
tomologist, points out that boll wee-
vil|^ have been more prevalent all over
North Carolina this season, particu
larly in the Coastal Plains area of
the state. Heavy losses have occurred
even where the usual means of con
trol were followed. Many growers
have reported that cotton bolls, half
grown, were so badly punctured by
weevils that the bolls rotted and toe
cotton was destroyed.
It is a fact also that the cotton crop
has matured earlier this season than
usual. This means that much green
material will be left in the fields for
the weevil to feed upon before cold
weather comes.
“We should, therefore, emi^asize
where practical,” Mr. Maxwell said.
The earlier this can be done, fte-
more valuable the practice will be.
The object, of course, is to efini>
nate the weevil’s feed whidi w3E
force him into hibernation earlier 6ia»
usual. He will thus be hi a weak—
ehed condition and the winter mar—
the need to kill the cotton stated
tality will be higher than usuaL”
Much greater results can be i
from this early destruction of c
stalks if the work is done as a
munity effort. Little is accomi
by a fanner, here and there, cutCas
and kill his stalks if all his neigUionE’
round about permit theirs to stand.
