More than thirty prizes were
awarded in the corn contest and the
corn exhibit, while not so large as
had been hoped for, was very cred
liable and some magnificent speci-
mems of this king of the grains were
on exhibition. Prof. Holden, of Ames,
gave one of his notable corn talks
which was listened to with the clos
est attention for two hours and the
time seemed all too short. He men
toned the work of the corn root
worm which eats off the root of the
corn, and said he found indications
of its work in about two-thirds of
of the fields. The corn root worm
lives on corn roots alone and to Grad
icate him you must change the crop
until he is starved out. The worm
is as large as No. 40 thread and only
one-third inch long, and works Just
under the surface of the root and
the little green beetle found in the
ear Of infected corn is the breeder
Of this worm; lays his eggs near the
roots in the ground and his ravages
will increase year after year until
you change to some other crop. The
plant root louise is also responsible
for much the same loss as the corn
root worm and may be prevented in
much the same way Corn is worth
l22 million more than all other
crops. The Professor says there is
no use to plant it unless done very
promptly because it will come on tc
late to get pollenized and won't have
an ear on it and two good ears pei

(By the Associated PresS.)
New Orleans, July 3.-Cotton here
today took another bound upwards on
the reading of the government report.
A dense crowd packed the ring i'm an
ticipation of the report and there was
throng in the galleries. Cotton in
the active positions almost instantly
reached 100 points or cent pound.
Subsequently there was some reaction
on the profit-taking.
Two minutes before IL o'clock a
telegraph company transmitted the
figures "S1.2" TO the local cotton eX-
change, the cOriSect figure being III
representing the estimate of the cot
ton crop conditions up TO June 25.
Secretary Hester wrote letter to
the local manager of the telegraph
company intimating that some one in
New York had made a criminal effort
to manipulate the local market. The
manager Immediately tclegraphed the
letter to New York headquarters of
the company. The telegraph company
confirmed it's erroneous figures about
a minute after they were first received
and the manager here says there is no
doubt that the figures his New Orleans
cotton exchange office received were
those sent from New York.

LIKE JEWISH FEAST
Meeting of Baptists at
Jackson Springs.
Has Neither President Nor Secretary
Baptists Were Present From Seven
States. Meeting Last Week the
Best That Has Baen Held.

Mr.. ]. w. Bailey returned yester
day from Jackson Springs, where he
attended the sessions of the Baptist
midsummer meeting, which conclud-
ed Sunday. Mr.. Bailey who is the
founder of these meetings. this beine
the third, said that it is intended to
take the place in the Baptist life in
North Carolina Of the Hebrews feast
of the tabernacle. Purpose is not mis-
sfonary or doctrinal, but social and
spiritual No business is transacted
at these meetings, but the people come
together there to talk to one another
to enjoy ten days outing and hear the
best speakers and preachers in the de-
nomination.
The meeting at Jackson Springs last
week was betterthan any that has
been held. 1t was attended by about
500 persons most of them Baptists,
from every section of North Carolina.
and at times the audiece reached the
number of 1900 people. There were
number of Baptists present from Vir-
ginia and South Carolina, and Indian
ma, Connecticut, West Virginia and
Georgia were represented.
The notable features of the meeting
Mr.. Bailey, said, were the addresses
of DR.. Len G. Broughton of Atlanta,
Lunsford of Asheville, and Oscar Hay
wood of Waterbury, Conn.
This meeting of the Baptists is a
permanent institution in North Caro-
lima, and 1T thought that so many
will attend the meeting newt year that
tents will have to be provided for their
accommodation. 1t is expected that
such distinguished men as A. T. Rob-
ertson of Louisville, A. G. Dixon of
Boston, John E. White and Len e.
Broughton of Atlanta will be present.
This meeting is not an organization
In the ordinary sense of that word,
and has neither president nor sec
retary. 1t goes back to the first prin-
ciples; relying upon God for guidance
and leadership. The program is in
formal.
The music for the meetings was i'll
charge of Prof. Chas. r. Brewer, of
Wake Forest CSOlle2e.
