EDITORS ARE LIKE PREACHERS

There is not a day that a consclen-
tious editor is not troubled o
what to print and what not to print.
lie is a wise editor who prints all the
news that is news, keeping always
in mind that the lesson taught by the
current news is kept in the channel
hat makes for WholesOmeness. The
reader never knows how much scan
dial is suppressed by the editor who
publishes only what is SO notorious
or so we'll known that his subscribers
have a right to a correct statement
of the facts. An editor frequently
has the experience related of Mr..
Reecher in a recent issue of the La
dies Home journal. We quote:
In the early days of Mr.. Beechers
career. when wit was unknown in the
pulpit. some Of the deacons Of his
church asked him if he didn't think
slch frequent outbursts Of humOr
were calculated t. diminish his use
fulncss. He listened patiently and
when they finished he said: "Brethren.
if you only knew how many funny
things | keep in. YOU wouldn't COM
plain about the few | let OUT
If the reader knew how much an
editor suppresses, there would be less
criticism of what he prints.
And in this connection it would not
be amiss to refer to a striking SER
mon preached in the First Baptist
Church of Wilmington last Sunday by
Rev. DR.. Calvin S. Blackwell, from the
text. 'To the making Of many books
there is no end" His subject was
1.-The Making of Books, Printers. Tel
egraphers and Newspaper Men, In
that 1.-The printing office is a school, col
lege and university for the brightest
intellects of every age" and added:
"a newspaper office is a school OF
unselfishness. No other class serves
ii community SO we'll and too often for
so little pay, either in cash or APP
probation. Every Gay and night the
newspaper is doing free work for the
general betterment OF the
ity. If a lawyer was called upon
by the city authorities to do for the
city the same amount and no more
valuable writing than that which cN-
cry does free every day
the charge would be $50 If
the newspapers were to cease for a
week it would be as dark and lone
some as if the pail of an eclipse COW
cree us, and Wilmington would be to
the outside world practically as
though she were not.
DR.. Blackwell is right. The news
paper ranks next to the pulpit and
school as an educational and moral
power. Conscious of this responsible
ity, makers Of newspapers. as a rule.
try to discharge it for the benefit and
uplifting of their readers. 1t too Of
ten happens, however, that the pulpit
is in antagOnism to the press, and
the newspaper is made a favorite sub
iect for moralizing on the part OF the
minister. But it is gratifying to find
one here and there. like DR.. Black
well. who is disposed to give credit

THE STRAWBERRY BUD WEENIL

Complaint has reached the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture
that very serious damage is being
done by an insect in the strawberry
fields Of the trucking section. The
insect prove to be a very small, red
IRISH, snout beetle of the curculiO fam
lily. It's scientific name is Autonomous

called the strawberry bud weeyiI. The
beetle cuts off the buds when these
are abOu two-thirds or three-fourtho

per cent to Seventy-five per cent of
the crop. being worst where staminate
varieties are largely grown. The
strawberry bud weevii feeds chiefly
upon pollen. both in the larvaI and
beetle states. When the buds of
staminate Strawberries are about two
thirds grown the parent beetle with
her long snout gOuges one to five
holes into the center of the bud. Into
each hole She thrusts an egg. The
eggs hatch in about Il week and the
