Strong Men with Fox.
 Athletes are said to be almost as numerous as the sands of the seashore at the Fox studios. Some of the better known ones are Geo. Walsh, William Hayes, Herschcl Mayall, Herbert Hayes, Walter Law, Frank Morgan, Art Acord, Richard stanton and Jack Kellette.
 Of these Welsh was the most fla nous in his college days. He was counted as one of Fordham's and Georgetown University's best foot ball players just a few years ago. He is also a splendid wrestler and as hardy a swimmer as there is in moviedom, as his work in "Thc Beast" evidenced. ..
 Walsh will be seen on the screen again soon in "The Island of De- sire"

President Navin of the Detroit

 With autos so numerous in the small towns the people prefer spend ing the afternoon out riding to go- ing to a ball game, he says, though he does not believe the attendance in the major league cities has been affected by automobiling.

AND ERADI-
eating FRUIT DISEASES
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The practical fruit grower of to-
day has many new problems con-
fronting him, that were little dream
ed Of half century ago. The time
was when fruit could be grown with
but little attention and care. But
those days Of the virgin soil have
passed away, and this new era has
brought with it marry enemies to
the farmer and his crops. Just as
many Of the diseases of the human
race are steadily increasing as the
years go by, so are those Of the fruit
grower keeping pace with the time.
And it behooves us that We become
masters Of the situation, and that
by learning the nature and habits Of
the most common diseases, along
with the best methods Of combat
ting and graduating same.
The first great essential of any
undertaking is knowing how it is
done. This is equally true of the
fruit grower. He should also be
aware Of the fact that the insects
and pests which disturb our fruit
trees ARE multiplying 50 rapidly as
to threaten the total destruction of
our orchards and unless We get the
twentieth century move on, as our
enemies already have, we are liable
to be the victims of failure and de-
feat in the fruit growing business.
Among the pests which are most
detrimental is the San Jose Scale
which lives on practically all wood
plants and when left alone will kill
most any tree in the course of a few
years. The scales are never large
something near the size of a pin
head. They do not deposit eggs, but
the female gives birth to about 4OC
living young offsprings which reach
maturity in about weeks. The Sar
Jose is only one Of the many. But il
can usually be distinguished from
the others by the reddish color Of
the inner bark, and white speaks OF
the outer edge.
The two remedies which are mos
effective for San Jose are LIST, prun
ming off all diseased limbs, which by
! all means should be burned to keel
others from becoming affected. At
ter pruning diseased tree tn
pruning tools should be thorough,
disinfected with kerosene, Formili
Formiline, or else heated, but at an.

rate one should never use them I'M
til he is sure it will not effect otn-
er trees by doing so. Also the man
ner in which the cut is made IS an
other thing that often causes dis
eases, by furnishing lodging places
for the germs land eggs OF the dis.
case. To prevent this one must no;
leave splits or caveties that WouiG
hoard these pests. All cuts snouia
be made smoothe as possible ana II
over an inch in diameter covered with
any ordinary paint. This also serves
TO prevent grape vines from severe
bieed:1g when pruned too late IN the
spring.
The second and most effective rem
edy is to spray with hme-sulphur
solution, five parts lime and five
parts sulphur to 40 or so OF wa
ter. Once Immediately lafter prun-
ming, then just before they bloom,
and again after the petals fall.
Some of the other pests that are
very destructive to fruit i'm gen
eral are: caterpillar, blister, pear
slug, bag worm, red spiders, weevils,
lice, bores, three or four kinds OF
insects and different types Of rot.
Many of thes diseases-pear blight,
for example-are so bad that no
remedy known will kill them after
once entered the tree except to cut,
slaughter, hue and burn. Thus we
see the Importance Of prevention.
One of the things that makes it
extremely hard for the orchardist to
defy his enemies is the location Of
his orchard. If affected trees be
within a radius of mile Of your
trees they Sare liable to be attacked.
For such things as binds, bees and
winds are active agencies for trans
hitting these diseases. Again the
necessity of good neighbors. In fact
We are insome sense "our brothers
keeper, even when it comes to fruit
growing. One man can not make a
great success with his orchard Wien
his neighbors are careless and do not
take precaution in regard to their
fruit trees. But it takes wkaIe
c. immunity working in ha1mon~ with
each other to accomplish best re-
suits.
! know Of only two ways Of bring
ing such relations about. The first,
which is perhaps the better of the
two, where it can be applied, is
through a community organization
such as "a Fruit Growers Union"
where the public sentiment could be
aroused, so that farmers might really
see the need and value of such pre-
vention. The second and only one
that will in many places bring to
pass what is so badly needed, is a
law as some of our Northern States
have, enacted by the State Legisla-
ture and put into force by the exec.
utive officers over the State, requir-
ing and if necessary compelling all
who have fruit trees to prune and
spray, pay others to do it or have
them destroyed. Then and only then
will humanity be supplied year in
and year out with ian abundance OF
wholesome and delicious fruits.

Long Day of Conservatism is Over

Commenced Its Work
The following is taken from an ar
ticle in the Raleigh News and OBJ

"Blsden county is waking from a

10 days several townships have held

work has been undertaken, and at the
present time it is ehsier to get
around through Bladen than it was
when l first made my voyage down
into the thinly settled districts. Now,
however, the idea of good roads has
come into the county and the thing
will go with a whirl from this on.
'The good roads that have been
developing in the other counties have
led Bladen county folks to thinking
what a goo broad is worth, and as
they can have good roads in this sec

A&tle gtading is necessary. Clay

places where roads are laid out the
drainage is good. Bladen, taken as
an avelage, is right good place to
build cheap roads, and a fairly good
place to keep roads in order If they
are built right. Luckily last week
D. H. Winslow, of the United States
road service, was in the county dis
cussing roads and how to make anc
maintain them, and an object lessor

MAMMOTH SPECIAL EDITION

With its regular issue on the 21st

claims for this specialization that it is
the most colossal presentation of the
textile interests of North Carolina
ever produced by anv newspaper in
the State; and, more than that, that
"it is the most comprehensive por-
trayal of cotton mill industries alone
that has ever been attempted by any
in the United States" A
glance through these IA pages, splen-
didly illustrated with more than 500
cuts, convinces one that the claims
Of The News are warranted. It is
an astonishinEy comprehensive and
artistic piece Of work, from the at
tractive cover page through. 1t was
gotten out by trained newspaper men,
with Mr.. j. C. Patton, former editor
of The News, editor-in-chief. The
News states that its big purpose in
getting out this edition was to show
how utterly without foundation are
the sensational articles that muck.
rakers have sold to some Northern
newspapers in which revolving per
pictures have been drawn of condi-
lions in Southern cotton mills. And

ed its purpose.
A page is devoted to three Of Lum.

GOOD ROADS BOND ISSUE

Thus the Red Springs Citizen:
sThe Robesonian argues strongly
for the 100000 good roads bond issue
for Robson. AS all roads lead to
Jumberton a bond issue would be an
admirable thing in the way Of road
Improvement. But how about the
other towns who need good roads?
The bill should be looked at with a
clear unprejudiced vision and thor
ough knowledge of its advantages OBJ
tanned before deciding it is the best
yet. One weak spot in the bill was
the appointing of district supervisors
instead Of electing them. This act
alone lost the issue many votes"
Lumberton is some town, and to
be sure all roads lead to Lumberton.
But what has that to do with the
bond issue? Red Springs and every
other town and section of the county
would profit as much by good roads
as Lumberton would profit. Nothing
in the way of road improvement that
would benefit Lumberton would fail
to benefit every other section Of the
county; and by the same token moth
ing that will benefit any remote Sec
ton of the county can fail to benefit
Lumberton and Red Springs and ev-
cry other section Of the county. That
Is a blessed fact that is hidden to
the misguided soul that wants just
himself and his household blessed
but it is fact just the same. Things
are just naturally pitched that way
and it is impossible to help one Sec
ton of the county without helping
the county as whole. If The Citi'
zen just wants to help its own sec.
ton, well and good: it could not fine
better way than by supporting the
bond issue. It would be a suicida
policy to refuse to help its own sec
ton just because other sections Of
the county would derive benefit, too
