r~ HI HBPFEB" Fates! Cotton Pest Is lieinft Felt More In Cotton Sections Farther South 4S - Tallulah, Ln.,—A totally unexpect ed and unprecedented spread of dam ape to the cotton crop caused by what 'is known as the “cotton hopper” or “ctootn flea” has appeared during the past few weeks, the Delta laboratory 1 of entomology of the United States ^department of agriculture announced today. * - .Emejyjrnty research observations, linve been carried on owning to the , lack .of information on many point;, of importance in meeting the prob lem. The cotton hopper was first noted a , number of year;- ago in a few Calf .const counties of Texas. Inst year "there were a few outbreaks of the in sect in Georgia and South Carolina /and evidence of occasional injured .plants at various points through the cotton belt. This spring it was noted! that an unusual number of hoppers Were transferring their attention tc tlfe cqUpn in South Texas, hut dam qibfL. to, the remainder of the cotton belt became evident less than three Ve'ttKs ago. Information Not Complete Complete information is not yet available 'ns to distribution through the cotton belt. Positive records of damage have been compiled for sev. oral southern states. , In Texas, apparently the whole state is involved with the exception of the extreme western margin of the cot ton area and a very small district in' the southeastern corner of the state.' Most of the reports of hoppers from | Arkansas come from the southern and eastern portions as far as Faultier county, In Louisan a the entire northern half of the state is apparently heavily j infested. is apparently present in j alt river counties of Mississippi front j Natchez north and extending north eastward to include all of the Yazoo Missisaippi delta and entirely r.erosr the northern half of the state. Scattering Reports Only scattering reports have been received from Alabama, but these are distributed over the northern half of the state. In Tennessee a few coun ties along the southern edge have re ported damage. All of the Piedmont section of Geor gia and a few counties centering around Sumter county, report heavy infestation. Reports front South Carol.na indi cate the general infestation of the Piedmont section. There have been no reports from North Carolina, C.mtrnl has been the subject of numerous experiments in the Texas investigations. ft was found that the Iks! results were obtained by dusting the plants with sulphur. Weevil Arlive A very important joint for consid eration in these districts where the boll weevil is active is the effect of t he outbreak on the weevil prob lems. Over much of the cotton belt th ■!•»: is an average infestation of weevils present. Under ordinary con ditions this would not bo a grave menace but the problem is complete ly changed by the activity of the hop per. Th? few squares which are now (reaping the hoppers cannot be spar ed and every one of them punctured by the weevil represents that much less, whereas, under ordinary condi tions a certain amount of weevil punc turing merely replaces natural shed ding and does not cause loss. In addi tion, the best that can be expected is the retting of a Very late crop of cotton. The first bred generation of the weevils are Just now maturing in a considerable portion of the belt and tints the weevils are that much ahead of the cotton fruiting and damage w II be accentuated. Where weevils are at all prevalent in the field it is pointed out by the delta laboratory, it will be necessary to make combin ed applications of sulphur and cal cium arsenate to control both the hopper and the weevil. The tulvi'ee to use sulphur is ac companied by warning that care be exercised to avoid contact of flame witH the dust cloud produced, sur phur dust being highly inflammable.

Working At Death Grips With Plenty And Modern Luxury Ch»pel H M.—“We are facing a life death struggle with Baal, the god of plenty, luxury, big business and mat erialism,’’ said Dr. Solomon Goldman, of Cleveland, Ohio, addressing a univ ersity summer school audience on “The Notion of Progress in the Old i Testament.” “Our chief concern seem.-1 to be to conquer nature and make it j lo our bidding. Our great mental i powers, our native inventiveness >'■' utilized to squeeze the juice of ‘high living’ out of our environment.’’ This was the second of a series of four lectures to be delivered by Dr. Goldman at the university under the j auspices of the Jewish Chautauqua; society of America. “Who will deny,” asked Rabbi Gold- ■ man, “that our society—at least in \ the large cities, is ultra-pagan. Neither Anthens nor Rome ever wit nessed the bacchanalian revelries, the I jazz abandonment, the social oppres sion, the extreme poverty and ex treme wealth, the 'atrocious crimes that one sees in New York and Chic ago. Would that Fundamentalists and "Modernists cease to wage controversy over the letter of the Bible and seek not only to understand its spirit, hut to make it, a vital factor in the build ing of our communities’ composite characters. We should be less con cerned with the date and authorship of the Biblical books and more con cerned with their eternal truths and growing sense .of righteousness and redemption.” “Mans happiness will not result from the aet|uistion of things and the attainment of comforts,” said Rabbi Goldman. ‘‘His destiny is spiritual and only in Godliness will he find the harmony of sou! and the peace of mind for which he htfs ever been yearning. Rabbi Goldman described the Bible as a “record of the enfolding growth and expansion of a soul. It is the story of man's triumphs and failure in his climb on the ladder of sniritua1 living. And the God of the Prophet, and Psalmists may be found by tin humble and lowly. God cxpresse, himself in love and justice and is ex perienced in fine human relations, in righteous living, in social justice. Corruption, sin, social debauchery and injustice are the thick walls that sep - arate us from God.” “The underlying motif of the Bible, concluded Rabbi Goldman, “is the ((uest of God. God implies life, evil forbodes death. This is the keynote of the Bible. Our civilisation boasts of material progress, of aeroplane and radio, but the keener spiritual in of the author of the Book of Genesis makes Cain, the murderer, the builder of a city and the ancestor of the first inventors.” Noith Carolina Newspaper Fol : Will Gather In Annnal Seswiao At H«tel Hickory Hickory, N.
