J. R. SAMS County Agent. o WARNS AGAINST PAKE [ WEEVIL "REMEDIES" The present great interest in the boll weevil problem in the Southeastern States has result ed in a large number of patened preparations and machines which are being vigorously ex ploited. says the United States Apartment of Agriculture. This is a repetition of what has occured in every region invaded by the boll weevil.. During the erst few years the farmers are exploited and many useless or practically useless devices are sold to them. In a few years, however, history shows that such organizations go out of business. Their operations are especially important* at the present time since the losses caused by the boll weevil will be increased by the expense of buying nostrums of various kinds. The claims for these prepara tions are not based on scientific tests although in many oases the persons exploiting them are undoubtedlysinceiem^elr that the/ wffi yiwcTgood results. Generally speaking they are based on misinterpre tations of what occurs in the field. To determine whether a remedy is effective, it is nec esssary to control areas and to consider the effects of numer ous cultural practices. It is very easy for an untrained ob server to attribute to some pre paration he has applied, the beneficial results of some var iation in climatic or cultural factors. The Department of Agricul ture and many of the State ex I^riment stations have tested toe new boll weevil remedies *hich have been proposed from years to years and many of [those now being offered the I public are not essentially dif ferent from the kind that have &een tested and discarded. This convention heartily en teed the use of the dusting Method in areas where the yield of cotton was high enough to warrant the expense. It al so endorsed the Florida method for the region in which it has proven to be applicable, and further recommended ex tensive tests of this method in other regions of light yields. h another paragraph it call -d attention to the fact that the fljolasses arsenate treatment, although not yet subjected to sufficiently detailed experimen tests to warrant its endorse es, had apparently given esults over a wide area that JpttantnJ further considera *?n- and it therefore recom | ?Med thorough and imme diate tests of this method by TiLai^ ^ederal Agencies. in ^late and Government "tiitions are anxious to help ,e farmers through the agency 1 ' any new Polling methods of con irr ^ boll weevil which ^ discovered. As prompt er,^ '"'^le careful tests are nortV' 1 The department farm recommends that r' ' xercise due caution in i*JjnS , money for new boll W n me(lies. In all closes snould demand evid ^un; f'^K'?al tests and com stati a their experiment tior ?n? for detailed infonna ^J?*ardinS any of the new ^di? Ks ^ anything of value Peritn Vvire(^ by the State ex Hm1 ?!iltions or by the N i JJePartment, prompt bespread notice of the fact will be given the public. In the meantime it is safe to say that in all probability any money spent for patented mix tures or machines will be wast ed. JOHN R. SAMS, County Agent. o Negro Meeting. All Negroes engaged in farm ing in Polk County, or any oth er pursuit, are hereby notified that there will be a meeting at the Court House in Columbus, N. C., on Wednesday , April the 18th, at 10 :30 o'clock a. m. At this meeting, Miss Sarah M. Padgett, Home Demonstra tion Agent, will conduct a Bet ter Biscuit DemonstratiQn #for the full benefit of the colored people. And the County Agent and home agent will discuss gar dens, poultry, and any other farm topics desirable. We suggest that all colored people in Polk County bring along a simple lunch and make it a kind of picnic and social af fair for their race. ' Respectfully, J. R. SAMS County Agent SARAH M. PADGETT Home Agent A GOOD MOVE. To The Editor: ? Is'nt it about time that the grade crossings in Tryon were either eliminate^ or protected? Doing away with them entirely would certainly be the best way and as for as the engineer ing difficulties to be overcome are concerned the thing could be done quite readily. My suggestion would be to fence in the R. R. tracks from tha, station platform, cut away the foot of the Oak Hall hili far' enough back to give a forty foot street, carry the new thorof^re beyoftd the station and under the track to come out iilose to the "filling station" westward. This would cut off Trade St. from the region of the South of the track except for foot pas sengers, for whom an "under pass" or tunnel to the station platform ?Ould be built; start ing opposite Andrews store. If grade crossings have to be left why not have gates for them? One can hardly imagine a blinder set of crossings, either for the enginers of the trains or for the approaching motorists than ours. It ought not to be necessary to have any more bf our citizens slaughter ed before we move in the mat ter and move in such a way that the move will be recogniz ed as a business move and not a bluff. . ^ ^ I do not think the Southern would refuse to install gates. If it did there ought to be some way to compel their in stallation or the suppression of the crrade crossing completely. EDGAR W. UPTON. revival results The recent revival at the Methodist Church was the greatest that ever has bfeen in Tryon. The Rev. Leonard Gill who preached eight days brought messages in the power and demonstration of the Spirit. Those who attended were stirred deeply.

John L. Yandell will bring a special message to the new converts of the recent re vival on Sunday night at the Methodist Church at 7:45 o'clock. We hope (they will be present. ? : The Rev, John L.
